Emergency Eye Wash Flow Detection

		Water treatment plants use numerous chemicals that are hazardous to eyes, skin, lungs and other internal organs. Chemicals such as Ferric Chloride, Copper Sulphate and Sodium Hypochlorite are just some of the common hazardous substances inside wastewater treatment facilities that can impair the human body. When harmful chemicals are in use, it is required that there be at least one emergency shower/eye wash station. The reliability of this emergency equipment is vital to the protection of operators in a caustic environment. The first few seconds after exposure to a hazardous chemical are critical. Delaying treatment, even for a few seconds, may result in irreparable tissue damage. If you are in a caustic chemical environment, never hesitate to use safety equipment if needed.
In this application a wastewater treatment facility uses a Thermo-Flo FT10 to detect flow of clean water as it moves across the sensing tips. As flow is detected the sensor sends information to a SCADA which interprets the signal as an emergency, alerting supervisors that a chemical accident has taken place. Management can then form a plan of action for containment and clean up within seconds. If you would like more information on how accurate flow detection can work for you click here.
