Vacuum Gas Dosing Systems Portacel have developed a reliable range of vacuum gas dosing equipment for chlorine, sulphur dioxide, ammonia and carbon dioxide. Portacel Dosers are modular, simple to use and inexpensive to operate.
Clyde - 50g/hr - 80kg/hr This cost-effective manual gas doser is easy to operate and is available in wall, cylinder or drum mounted types. The Clyde is commonly used for chlorination of low volume rural water supplies. !
! ! !
Flexibility - Interchangeable meter tubes allow simple upgrading. Two year guarantee. Low maintenance. Built in automatic changeover.
Thames - 50g/hr - 250kg/hr The Thames doser range is the widest currently available, with dosers suitable for small automated works up to the largest municipal treatment plants. At 250 kg/hr, the Thames is the worlds' largest automatic gas doser. The Thames is available in both manual and automatic versions using the AVP2 for precise process control. ! ! ! !
Modular design means simple maintenance - No cabinet required. Low part count gives improved reliability. Dedicated process controllers give 100% standby. Wall or floor mounted types.
Liquid Dosing Systems Portacel has developed a unique vacuum dosing system that utilises proven technology to accurately meter sodium hypochlorite, sodium bisulphite, aqueous ammonia or aluminium sulphate solutions. This system eliminates the hazards associated with conventional pumped systems. ! ! !
!
No gas locking when using Sodium Hypochlorite. No hazardous liquid leaks or pipe bursts. Liquid vacuum regulators eliminate unwanted gravity forced dosing at low flows and ensure a constant chemical flow regardless of liquid pressure in the tank. Uses proven ejector technology for reliable, consistent dosing.
Liquid Trent - 25 - 3,000 l/hr The Liquid Trent is available in both automatic and manual versions and is primarily used for disinfection of large municipal water supplies. Process controllers can each accept two residual chlorine signals, giving very accurate control. ! !
!
Safe, no pressurised liquids. Dedicated AVP2 process controllers give 100% standby. Modular design means simple maintenance.

Residual Chlorine Analysers The Medway 2 analyser is designed for continuous measurement of either free or total chlorine residual. Dual or triple validation versions are available. ! ! ! !
Programmable auto zero facility. Low sample flow rate - 0.2 l/min. Self-cleaning amperometric measuring cell. Optional buffer system for pH stabilisation.
Evaporators Evaporators are used on large water treatment plants to obtain high gas flow rates from liquid chemical sources. Versions are available for chlorine, sulphur dioxide and ammonia. The Portacel evaporator uses a unique schedule 80 helical steel coil, which is submerged in a heated water bath. !
!
!
! ! !
High gas flows can be produced from a single chemical drum (up to 230 kg/hr Cl2). The unique Portacel coil allows easy visual inspection, even while the system is running. Any contamination from the liquid source passes right through the coil and is arrested on an external filter - the inside of the coil never requires cleaning. Maintenance downtime is minimised. The coil is completely submerged thereby preventing corrosion. Water (rather than oil) bath eliminates any explosion risk. No complicated recycle pumps.
Changeover Systems Two systems are available for switching from empty to full gas cylinders (or tonne containers). The Cherwell V is a simple, cost-effective vacuum changeover device that requires no power supply and is suitable for maximum gas flows of 12 kg/hr. The Cherwell PV is a fully automated vacuum changeover valve with control panel, suitable for gas flows up to 80 kg/hr. The control panel can be interfaced with site SCADA systems and gives full indication of gas supply status. Importantly, both systems carry out supply changeover under vacuum. This allows pressurised gas pipe work to be kept to a minimum, thereby reducing the risk of a gas leak.

Auxiliary Dosing Equipment Portacel manufacture a complete range of venturi type ejectors and vacuum regulators to complement our gas and liquid dosing products. Ejector sizes - 1", 1.5", 2", 3" & 4" (sizes cover all gas & liquid chemical flows). ! Vacuum regulators - An essential safety device in a gas dosing system, the regulator converts gas under pressure to gas flowing in a vacuum. ! 12, 60 and 250 kg/hr variants available for gas dosing. ! 100 l/hr and 500 l/hr variants available for liquid dosing. !
!
Gas header systems & ancillaries - Portacel supply welded, Schedule 80 steel headers for the connection of multiple gas cylinders or drums. A range of auxiliary valves, flexible connectors, liquid traps and heaters are also available.
Colne Gas Detection Systems Portacel supply a range of gas detection instruments suitable for the rapid and accurate detection of chlorine, sulphur dioxide and ammonia leaks. Colne systems are available in several configurations, from single channel units for small remote sites to multi channel systems suitable for the largest gas store. Sensors can be added or removed for added flexibility. The Colne Compact chlorine gas detector (single or dual channel only) is a high specification, low-cost analyser specifically designed for use in the water industry. The Compact is available with a programmable self-test facility, which uses a gas generator to pass chlorine across the sensor head(s). If, after a pre-set time, the detector has not sensed chlorine in excess of the lower alarm level, a fault alarm is raised.
