Customized Greensand Filter for Brewery Prepared for Shipping

With factory testing completed, Res-Kem's greensand filter with several advanced features is ready for shipment to a local brewery.  Because the water is integral to production of their beer, this expanding brewery needed features which are not typical for a greensand filter:

• Allen Bradley CompactLogix PLC with Ethernet gateway to communicate with the central plant control system.
• Expandable, in the field, from four to eight parallel greensand filter units without requiring reprogramming of the PLC.
• Multiple, user definable,  regeneration initiation options including manually initiated, differential pressure and/or totalized flow.
• Valve position feedback to insure when a valve supposed to be open or closed, the valve is in the correct position.  If incorrect, an alarm will sound and be indicated on the Panelview 1000 HMI.
