Watson-Marlow 501FDC/RL WAY TO COLLECT DATA
OEM pumps have been
selected for use in the new
Hydrocell wastewater
sampler system developed by
Halifax-based Pulsonic
Technologies.

Liam Duffy, Hydrocell’s,
business development
manager, says: “A lot of the
trade effluent produced by
companies such as food
manufacturers flows through
underground drains where
the pump lift often needs to
be as much as 7m. Normally
an additional pump would
be required to accommodate
this, but the capability of the
Watson-Marlow pump saves
this extra cost.”
The 501FDC/RL OEM
pump comprises a single
channel 501RL pumphead, a
powerful 12V direct current
motor, the new Watson-
Marlow gearbox and an
aluminium faceplate. The
501FDC/RL provides the
highest torque output, pump
speeds and flow rates of all
Watson-Marlow OEM pumps.

“An engineer from
Watson-Marlow provided
input to the development of
our Hydrocell systems,” says
Duffy. “He worked with us to
make sure the specification
and capability was suitable
for the Hydrocell range.”
The 501FDC/RL is used in
both of the Hydrocell models
developed by Pulsonic – a
cost effective two-bottle
system, and a higher spec
four-bottle refrigerated unit –
suitable for preserving
effluent containing highly
degradable material.
