Electric Actuators for the Water and Wastewater Industry

Drinking water abstraction and distribution, as well as sewage disposal and purification are basic prerequisites for infrastructure development. Security of supply is crucial for modern water industry. The need for automated valves in water and wastewater treatment are abundant, and there are many applications where electric actuators assist with the solution for the most demanding problems.

Common Water Facilities Requiring Electric Actuators:
  • Sewage treatment plants
  • Water treatment plants
  • Drinking water distribution
  • Sewage disposal
  • Seawater desalination
AUMA's  broad product portfolio of multi-turn, part-turn, and linear actuators are well known and respected in the water industry worldwide due to their high corrosion protection, long service life, and low in maintenance.



Handy Hazardous Area Classification Guide

The electrical classification term "Hazardous Location" refers to areas where flammable gases, vapors, liquids, combustible dusts, ignitable fibers or flyings are present in the atmosphere in sufficient volume to cause an explosion of fire.

Electrical equipment placed in hazardous locations must be carefully selected and applied in accordance with national and international "HazLoc" (sometimes referred to as explosion-proof) standards. These standards evaluate the threat of explosion based on quantitative and qualitative criteria such as material phase, specific gas of liquid, and likelihood of exposure.

This guide is just for reference. Consultation with a qualified applications specialist prior to the selection or installation of any hazardous area product is strongly suggested.

KROHNE SMARTPAT Process Analytics Sensors


The KROHNE SMARTPAT is a series of digital 2-wire loop powered sensors with integrated transmitter technology. Using a VP cable, any SMARTPAT sensor can be connected directly to the process control system via 4-20 mA / HART 7 interface, which provides a large advantages in both handling and costs of a measuring point. Available in pH, ORP, Conductivity, Total Suspended Solids, Oxygen, Disinfectant, and Turbidity. Additional transmitters on site are no longer necessary. All SMARTPAT sensors can be configured and calibrated offline via PACTware FDT/DTM, on site with a HART handheld, or an optional loop powered operating unit.

SUPERIOR Water Solutions Gas Chlorinators

SUPERIOR Gas Chlorinator
The SUPERIOR Gas Chlorinator is con­sidered the industry "workhorse" of gas chlorinators. The efficient design, coupled with the long lasting materials, creates reliable water disinfection systems with a safety first, user friendly design that is cost effective to install and so easy to operate and maintain. The SUPERIOR Gas Chlorinator is the optimum choice for water disinfection, whether for drink­ ing water, sewage treatment, industrial processes, food pro­cessing, cooling water, or swimming pools.

The vacuum-operated, solution feed type SUPERIOR Gas Chlorinator can be either mounted directly on a chlorine cylin­der valve, or wall mounted. Chlorine flow rate is manually adjusted. The design is such that a number of automatic flow rate control devices can be easily added. Modern mod­ular design makes it easy and cost-effective to expand or upgrade the system.
