Sentinel Solutions - Water safety shipped ready to go
TORONTO, Canada, Dec. 13, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Sentinel Solutions Inc., a company producing products for monitoring the safety and toxicity of public water announced yesterday that it has developed a skid mounted system that will greatly reduce on site set-up time for every customized Water Sentinel System (WSS). Sentinel Solutions clients' need water quality monitoring equipment installed and operating as quickly as possible and this advanced set-up process gets the job done.
"Our skid mount makes the WSS really easy to install at the site," reports Charles Bishop, the Chief Technical Officer of Sentinel Solutions. "When the Water Sentinel System leaves our production facility the majority of the components are in place. The WSS technology is mounted and ready to deliver monitoring services," continues Bishop. "Once it gets to the site final connections and testing tasks are relatively simple."
Sentinel Solutions Inc. has created a modular water system that can fit virtually into any communal water system. It is the right fit for all situations and water industry scenarios that communal water systems operators will face.
The WSS is a computer based process monitoring system with customized software designed to adhere to monitoring and control requirements. The WSS will monitor and gather water data for chlorine, pH, turbidity, water temperature, ambient air temperature and water flow rate on small to mid-sized commercial water sites. The system has up to 10 analog inputs and 8 digital inputs/outputs. The system will collect and store data to use for a year end report. The WSS will report out-of-limit measurements directly to a centralized server that in turn would notify a technician on call. The WSS is highly configurable and programmable which will allow adaptation to practically any process.
Based in Toronto, Canada, Sentinel Solutions Inc. (www.sentinelsolutionsinc.com) produces products for monitoring the safety and toxicity of public water.
