Toxic and Combustible Gas Leak Detection in the Water Industry

August 24, 2021 | Company News

Dexter Vilar, NSI Application Engineer, will be presenting at the American Water Works Association’s 2021 New Jersey Section Annual Conference, running this Tuesday, August 31st through Thursday, September 2nd at the Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa in Atlantic City, NJ.

Entitled Toxic and Combustible Gas Leak Detection in the Water Industry, the presentation will cover strategies for monitoring, detecting, and alerting personnel of toxic and combustible gas leaks you’ll be able to put into practice at your own facility. Gas leak detection instrumentation along with alarm control and annunciation hardware options will be discussed, along with basic theories, principles, and demonstrations detailing how this equipment works. 

The presentation starts at 1:15 PM on the Conference’s second day – Wednesday, September 1st – and Dexter plans on enthralling you with the intricacies of gas leak detection for about 30 minutes. He will then repeat the session approximately every half hour until 3:30 PM that afternoon.

Please register for the Conference at AWWA NJ’s website if you haven’t already. We very much look forward to your participation and meeting you there!

If you’re unable to make the Conference, we invite you to contact us directly to arrange having this presentation and more delivered to you and your facilities staff personally. This can be accomplished on-site at your facility; virtually; or at our recently expanded Newtown, PA facility, which features a 16-person Training Classroom and Instrument Wet Lab.

What does Automation Service offer?

August 9, 2021 | Company NewsProduct News

Let’s start the conversation about how NSI and Automation Services can deliver peace of mind at your facility.

Newly Manufactured Pneumatics

Automation Service has purchased the equipment, manufacturing training and the rights to manufacture most of the Foxboro pneumatics, and is accepting orders currently for new pneumatics.

Remanufactured Control Valves

Remanufactured control valves can be produced with such precision and quality that they represent a viable alternative to new equipment. However, automatic control valves are not a “one size fits all.” Accurate sizing and proper specification are essential keys in providing the right assembly to meet the requirements of the application.

Remanufactured Instrumentation

Once your order is placed, a product specific technician will build, test and calibrate your unit before sending it to our quality control department for final inspections. Once inspected and approved by one of our QC technicians, your unit is then shipped with a full 2-year service warranty.

Recycling Program

Customers who are responsible for maintaining instrumentation and control valves within their facilities are allowed to retain the value of recycled assets for their specific department, as opposed to losing it to a general company-wide fund fed by scrapping or liquidation of these items. Make upgrades and complete projects, that seem unlikely due to budgetary restrictions, possible with the credits earned through our recycling program.

Product brand offerings include: Fisher, Foxboro, Rosemount, Micro Motion, Honeywell, Moore, Ametek, and Rotork.

Upgrades To Temperature Expertise and Offerings!

July 13, 2021 | Company News

NSI upgrades its Temperature expertise and offering – Since its inception, NSI was built around temperature control and data acquisition with the Eurotherm/Chessell product line.  Recently NSI acquired Magyar / Nutech Controls, and now combines the NSI team’s strong temperature control / data acquisition expertise with the Magyar team’s strong temperature sensing and heating expertise through Minco.

From space flights to medical implants to semiconductors to chocolate to automotive parts to airplanes to atom colliders – Neal Systems is now providing product to critical parts of our world through the Eurotherm and Minco product lines.  Minco designs custom miniature temperature sensors and flexible heaters that are used in everything from coffee makers to medical devices to space gloves to airplane windshields.  If you need to measure temperature accurately or provide heat in a tight space, Minco custom designs temperature solutions to thousands of applications that you likely use every day, and are made in the USA.  Eurotherm provides the necessary control and data acquisition needed for highly accurate temperature control applications found in aerospace, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, research and development, semiconductor, and heat treat applications across the world.  

The Neal Systems team of engineers (control, electrical, and mechanical fields of study) are highly trained to help solve all of your temperature challenges!



Tank Level Measurements

June 8, 2021 | Product News

Tank level measurements can be made in 50 different ways, which means our customers have a variety of options for their specific needs. In this application, the customer used a D/P cell “spud” type tri-clamp connection, which is easily removed for sanitary applications.

The large diaphragm of the seal converts the pressure from the fluid onto the pressure sensor in the transmitter housing. This pressure can be converted to level based on the density of the liquid.

The advantage of this method is that it is tried and tested for nearly every liquid level application and that you can get very close to the tank bottom to determine empty vessel conditions. 

Because the customer is using an IGP10S transmitter w/ 11 different preprogrammed calibration curves, the transmitter is very accurate both at the high and low end of the tank.
