CLARION HELPS DRIVE DISTRIBUTED WATER QUALITY MONITORING.

Article Excerpt
Propelled by increasing concerns about security threats, as well as the need to prevent the spread of environmental contamination, opportunities are increasingly emerging for user-friendly distributed sensor networks that are able to provide real-time data about the status of key physical and chemical parameters that impact the status of vital infrastructure assets, such as water utilities, pipelines, or inventory storage tanks.

Clarion Sensing Systems, Inc. (Indianapolis, IN, 317-295-1433/877-741-9105)(www.clarionsensing.com), a systems integrator that provides data management solutions for monitoring and managing physical and chemical properties associated with fluids and gas, has been helping to spearhead opportunities for intelligent, distributed sensor-based systems in water quality monitoring (e.g., assessing contamination in drinking water by monitoring water quality at several points in the water system), as well as other applications involving monitoring and control of other key assets containing fluids or gas.

Clarion's intelligent Sentinal(tm) data management device uses microprocessors and proprietary software to serve as the heart of an intelligent, real-time distributed network of sensors and actuators that protect the customer's assets and infrastructure. Gathering data from remote sensors and analyzers, the Sentinal can help protect such vital stored assets, such as water, oil, and chemicals, thereby safeguarding equipment (for example, supply systems, pipelines, power systems, waste water systems), processes, and the environment from the hazards...
