Press Release Summary: Scarcity of water calls for the need for tightly managed and
accurate solutions for filter stations, wastewater management bodies and municipal
corporations, so that water wastage is minimized

Press Release Body: Indore, India - 25th June 2008 - with the ever increasing
population in developing countries and the scarcity of potable water in there, a
need has arise to conserve the diminishing water resources and improving the
techniques used for wastewater treatment. Products and services aimed at accurately
determining the level of water in open channels at water filter stations and
treatment plants need to become more reliable and easy to use so that the water
bodies can be used instead of being \"manipulated\". Sapcon Instruments\' new precise
rate of flow indicator and totalizer and loss of head detector are one such small
step towards this giant goal.

The role of a rate of flow indicator is crucial in a water treatment plant set-up. A
good water level indicator should have weir (flow channel) selection for different
weir types such as Rectangular suppressed, Triangular and Cipoletti weirs. It should
also have modified floating point arithmetics providing better mathematical
numerical conversion accuracy. These attributes are offered in the Sapcon\'s ROF
series. \"We understand the need for better rate flow indication along with
understanding that keeping costs under the umbrella is also of paramount importance.
We have introduced three on board potential free relays allowing single point or
pump control switching for level or flow rate allowing total six combinations of
switching outputs.\" commented Ashwin Palshikar, Chief Marketing Officer, Sapcon
Instruments. The rate of flow indicator (ROF Series) offers technical adjustments
like removal of n=0.5-1.5 for triangular weirs, a pulse coded transmission and a wto
wire sensor, making it universally applicable for waster and wastewater management
plants, anywhere, commented Mr. Palshikar. He added, the system has a built-in
flow-totalizer which reduces the investment for another totalizer.

The loss of head indicator measures the loss of head i.e differential level on both
the sides of the filter screen in open channels of filter stations and water
treatment units. The LOH series supports a cable length of 1 km between the sensors
and the indicators and the electronics operate both with an AC and a DC supply, Mr.
Palshikar said.

These instruments should offer a new meaning to the water and wastewater management
industry. Sapcon\'s initiative in prodcution of quality water level indicators has
already seen a warm reception and these initiatives should help users and city
corporations in their efforts in water preservation.
