Myron L - CONTROLSTIK II - Rinse Tank System

A heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant automatic monitor/control for rinse water

The Myron L CONTROLSTIK II  Rinse Tank System dramatically reduces the amount of water used in continuous flow rinse tanks.  At the same time, it automatically maintains optimum water purity, ensuring effective rinsing.

Since water flows only when parts are rinsed, you save money on water bills, sewer use charges, and waste water treatment expenses.

Applications

• Continuous-flow rinse tanks
• Circuit board manufacturing
• Electroplating
• Wastewater

Features

• IP65 / NEMA 4X Rating
• Water and Corrosion Resistant Enclosure
• 316 Stainless Steel Hardware
• Reliable Solid-State Electronics
• Automatic Temperature Compensation to 25ºC/77ºF
  
  
  • Anti-Hammer Closing Solenoid Valve with:
    • Adjustable Flow Control
    • Manual Override
    • Conduit Connector 

Engineering Specifications

Rinse water usage shall be minimized by means of automatic conductivity control systems.  They shall consist of a temperature compensated conductivity sensor, corrosion resistant one-inch solenoid valve and transformer box which safely reduces line power to the probe and sensor.  Circuitry shall be solid-state and unaffected by changes in voltage between 105 and 125 volts.  Setpoint adjustment shall be on sensor to minimize tampering.  Rinse tank controls shall be Myron L Model 597 or approved equal.

Warranty
Myron L CONTROLSTIK II Systems have a Two Year Limited Warranty. If this system fails to function normally, return the faulty unit or the system to the factory prepaid. If, in the opinion of the factory, failure was due to materials or workmanship, repair or replacement will be made without charge. A  reasonable service charge will be made for diagnosis or repairs due to normal wear, abuse or tampering. Warranty is limited to the repair or replacement of the units of the CONTROLSTIK II System only. The Myron L Company assumes no other responsibility or liability.

Operating Principal

Operating on the basic principles of buoyancy and siphon, collection headers "vacuum" the solids that have naturally settled and compacted on the tank floor. Sludge is then siphoned into a separate trough where it is pumped to waste or returned in the activated sludge application. 
 
Features

Low Disposal Costs - Heavier solids concentration, the result of removing solids directly from where they naturally settle, without pushing or plowing.

Fast Removal - Up to 12 fpm.

Reduced Maintenance - No moving parts underwater. All parts except drive are nonferrous.

Energy Efficient - Up to 80% less power is required.

Drive Assembly



Clari-Vac employs a constant torque, variable speed DC electric motor, and sheave arrangement for its high-efficiency drive assembly, minimizing power requirements for even the largest tanks.

Siphon Pipes



The high-performance, corrosion-resistant siphon pipes are manufactured from stainless steel, further reducing the possibility of oxygen cell corrosion. Vacuum-tight joints are also standard. The siphon pipes form the basis of the structure to the bridge, reducing weight and resulting in lower power costs.

Guide Wheels



Inboard and outboard guide wheels on each clarifier bridge ensure maximum unit alignment and stability. Guide wheels on one side are also spring-loaded for better performance and allow for imperfections in concrete tank walls.

Effluent Trough



Effluent and scum troughs are constructed of "Leo-Lite" fiberglass-reinforced plastic to resist dents, rust, and warpage eliminates painting forever!

Idler Assembly



The Clari-Vac idler assembly features an integral jacking mechanism for ease of cable adjustment.

Fiberglass Floats



Floats are polyurethane foam encapsulated in fiberglass. Leopold further customizes floats for optimal performance by weighting them for prevailing hydraulic conditions. Leopold customizes floats to suit each installation.

Floating Bridge



The innovative floating bridge permits the collection headers to float at a minimum clearance of one inch from the floor of the tank. This allows the almost total clearance of sludge from the tanks if required. Friction to motion is virtually eliminated by the floats, reducing systems power costs.

Collection Headers with Patented Degassing System



Clari-Vac stainless steel collection headers siphon sludge from the floor of the tank with no stirring action, while the degassing system prevents the loss of flow rate capacity in wastewater systems.

Individual Sludge Valves



The flow in each stainless steel siphon pipe is independently controlled to protect against loss of prime. The rate of flow of sludge can be controlled exactly to minimize sludge production and maximize solids content.

Sludge Return



Dense sludge is deposited in the sludge return channel through individual valves, decreasing return rates in activated sludge and minimizing residuals in potable water. The channel flow runs continuously in wastewater systems and semi-continuously in potable water. This channel can be retrofitted for plant upgrades/rehabilitation.

Control Panel



The programmable control panel can accommodate individual facility requirements. The control panel features a stainless steel enclosure (rated NEMA 4X), solid state circuitry, and integral space heater and thermostat. Optional equipment is available for severe environments.
