Manufacturing Excellence Since 1931
From dairy to petrochemicals, several applications require monitoring or control of liquids in tanks. Wastewater facilities are among the many industries requiring meticulous observation. The technology used for this measurement is dependent upon the type of tank and its contents. Continue reading “Capacitive Level Monitoring in Wastewater Treatment Facilities”
The summer is always a busy time for our team, as we check and double check the formatting and information of our annual instrumentation catalog. Now that autumn is here, we’re proud to announce that the new Dwyer Catalog is now available! Continue reading “The New Catalog is Available… Get Yours Today!”
“I need it yesterday.” This idiom is a typical answer to a very common question in the manufacturing world: “When do you need this?”
This turn of phrase indicates urgency of the request, and often means that a product is already past its required delivery date. In instrumentation manufacturing, this sense of urgency is one that Dwyer knows all too well. We understand that our customers have a need that must be fulfilled by a set date for a variety of reasons. This can be the key to ensuring a project is completed on schedule, or to get production operational and bringing in a profit. It is for these reasons that Dwyer takes such pride in our 99.5% on-time delivery and 3 day average build time to order. Speed and urgency are part of our never-ending commitment to excellence.

You arrive at a large field, small sprouts peeking out of the soil. At the center of the field lies a structure connected to a span of pipe from which sprinklers hang. Trusses brace and support its weight. From the air, this field would appear to be a perfectly circular patch of green.
Center pivot irrigation systems are one of many ways to distribute water to crops. As its name suggests, this method involves rotating around a central pivot point. When the machine rotates, it releases water from the sprinklers and irrigates crops. (Agrivi.com) By using this system, farmers can ensure a uniform application of water across an entire field.

In many industrial processes, the materials and the end product or by-products 
of the process, such as dust or vapors, can create conditions for a hazardous environment. Processes that have potential for hazardous environments include: water treatment, oil drilling, gas and chemical processing, power generation, pharmaceutical, and food manufacturing. The measurement and control of these processes are essential in maintaining optimal conditions of the manufacturing system and preventing catastrophic events.
