RealFlex 6 is a true real-time SCADA server, which runs on a PC with QNX 6 Neutrino operating system. It manages real-time, historical, alarms, events, displays and users databases. The system gets data from RTU's, PLC or other devices using I/O drivers and automatic sequencing and control can be done using Command Sequence Language (CSL) running on the server.

RealFlex 6 can be configured as a standalone or as a true hot standby configuration providing redundancy in the case of hardware failure or simply to allow regular maintenance on the PC's, while maintaining full operation of the SCADA system.

Realflex 6 acts as a server for all the FlexView HMI clients, which run in the Microsoft windows environment. This provides an excellent balance between the speed, stability and security of the server in the QNX environment, and the easy of use of the FlexView HMI in the Microsoft Windows environment, the best of both worlds.

All communications between server and client is done with a secure protocol over TCP/IP, which allows for great flexibility in configurations.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT WHEN SELECTING AN OIL WATER SEPARATOR

 There are many misconceptions in the market place concerning "oil /water separators", " oil/ water interceptors" and "oil traps". Many companies profess to offer "oil water separators" when in fact, what they sell are just interceptors or traps, which are empty tanks with baffled walls with no effective separation technology built in. These look great on paper and appear to be most affordable but baffled walls alone cannot separate oil efficiently. They simply trap some of the oil which is floating on the surface of the water in the tank but they do not separate the oil which is in the water below the surface. We at Freytech Inc. are of the opinion that they are overpriced empty tanks with baffles that can, and do, get unsuspecting, but well intentioned operators and their company owners in trouble when they unknowingly discharge oil beyond their legal limits. Hydrocarbon discharge limits to sewers and to storm drains are usually set at 10 to 15 Parts per Million (10-15 PPM). What we offer are true oil water separators with enhanced coalescing technology and we guarantee below 5 PPM separation (below 10 PPM with many types of light crude oil) of free non-emulsified oil even if the oil concentrations at the inlet end are very high (below 10 PPM for many types of light crude oil). What we offer is peace of mind since our customers stay in compliance.

Freytech Enhanced Coalescing Oil Water Separators separate free non-emulsified oil, hydrocarbons, diesel, gasoline, fuels, from water to below 5 PPM guaranteed (below 10 PPM with many types of light crude oil). Permanent filter / coalescing media can be washed by hand with a water hose for years of efficient, trouble free use. For our turnkey above ground units, a standard manual side port is included to easily extract pure separated oil from within the unit thus avoiding having to empty entire contents of separator tank when full. This represents a huge advantage over other separators in that the operator can extract the pure oil and recycle it for free and in some cases even get paid for it. Many other separators on the market require septic truck service to suction out all of the separated oil when the unit is full. With such an antiquated extraction method, the separated oil is once again mixed with the water and the operator pays by the gallon to have it hauled away and treated in a water treatment plant. With our above ground equipment, septic service is only required when and if the separator fills up with sediment over time. No electrical power requirements.

Transformer Monitors

Serveron® Transformer Monitors are deployed and monitoring critical power transformers worldwide. DGA (dissolved gas analysis) of transformer oil is the best indicator of a transformer’s overall condition. Our On-line Transformer Monitors provide the most comprehensive DGA condition assessment available. They provide the important and timely information you need to maintain the reliability and safety of your transformer fleet.

MEET YOUR RELIABILITY & FINANCIAL GOALS
Avoid unplanned failures: Continuous trending of all critical fault gases gives early and immediate notification of incipient faults that can lead to transformer failure.

Lower costs through condition based maintenance: Only comprehensive on-line monitoring can provide the information that enables continuous transformer condition assessment.

Defer capital expenditures: Comprehensive analysis of all critical fault gases and other key parameters enable intelligent management of transformers, extending their useful life. Our On-line Transformer Monitors bring the DGA laboratory to your transformer with their rugged, closed-loop GC system providing up to hourly sampling of critical fault gases. Correlation to real events is accomplished through time sampling of all gas data as well as relative load, moisture-in-oil as well as oil and ambient temperature measurements.

Many transformer failures can be prevented through the correlation of DGA data to real events. On-line monitoring of key gases is the most practical way of relating gassing levels to external events. Gas chromatography (GC) is the reference standard and accepted science for measuring gas-in-oil levels.

The ECHO Sludge Hunter reliably measures sludge and sediment levels in clarifiers, thickeners, ponds and tanks.  The ultrasonic Air Purge Xducer is connected to the Mounting Flex Kit and immersed just below the surface of the water and pointed to the bottom of the tank.   The Sludge Hunter uses time of flight echo processing and advanced algorithms to lock on the true sludge interface level and ignore the floating solid particles and troublesome rag layers.  The unique patent-pending “Solids Algorithm” has been designed to automatically filter all floating solids particles and electrical noise interference for unmatched performance.

ECHO'S newest product THE BULLET provides reliable, accurate, noncontact measurement of liquid levels. Ultrasonic non-contact technology offers no moving parts to wear, jam, corrode, or get coated like contact technologies.  Mapping software makes effective measur­ing surface only a 3" diameter column. No concerns with ladders, pipes, or other tank intrusions in the remaining sound cone.  Unit is FM ap­proved explosion-proof making it ideal for use in hazardous locations. The unit features easy programming with 6 digit LCD display and sim­ple menu structure.  Output range is adjustable with choices of in­putting tank dimensions or just fill and empty the tank while calibrating and it automatically scales to levels it senses.  Window cover allows early viewing of display. Failsafe output options and diagnostic capabilities makes the unit a good choice for critical applications.
