Products + Services for the Greater Chico Area

One engagement covers the hardware and the on-site work so projects move faster and your data is defensible.

Flow (open channel & pipe) — Ultrasonic/AV and LaserFlow for channels; magnetic and clamp-on ultrasonic for CIP, chilled/hot water, reuse, and transfer lines. Delivered with site review, programming, start-up, and verification/cal certificates. Rentals available for projects and wet-weather events.
Level (tanks, sumps, lift stations, ponds, silos) — 80 GHz non-contact radar, guided-wave radar, ultrasonic, and point level. We include mounting hardware, washdown-ready or outdoor enclosures, loop checks, and alarms.
Pressure & Temperature (industrial & sanitary) — Transmitters, switches, RTD/TC assemblies with thermowells, diaphragm seals, and Tri-Clamp where needed—plus PLC/SCADA handoff and documentation.
Analytical — pH/ORP, conductivity, DO, turbidity/TSS, free chlorine, TOC, oil-in-water, and moisture analyzers—paired with sample-conditioning guidance, commissioning, and operator training.
Signal Conditioning, Safety & Telemetry — Isolators, alarms/trip amps, intrinsic-safety interfaces, and cellular gateways/dashboards. Panel packaging and alerting that reduce truck rolls and speed troubleshooting.

Prefer turnkey? We can ship instruments pre-mounted in NEMA/IP-rated panels with power, I/O, and cellular connectivity—ready to bolt up and run.
