Environment Canada intends to use this equipment to conduct monitoring in remote and harsh environments and which is enabled by a flow meter.
The refrigerated water sampler systems must be purchased from Avensys for the following reasons:
1. This sampler must operate year round in remote and open environments and must be capable of resisting corrosion and operating at temperatures from -29 to + 49 degrees celcius. 2. This sampler must be able to collect samples that can be refrigerated in the summer and heated in the winter. 3. This system must be able to collect and log a 24 hour summary of temperature to confirm proper sample cooling. 4. This system must produce output data on sample results and sample programming in ASCII format. 5. The Avensys ISCO refrigerated water quality samplers are currently on Environment Canada's inventory and operating to deliver on their mandate. Avensys has demonstrated that they can deliver the required systems in an effective and efficient manner to justify the augmentation of their existing inventory. 6. This proposed system is compatible with the existing equipment at Environment Canada and will be part of their inventory. The systems form a network of samplers and the data collected between all systems needs to be compatible. To change the product would not be cost effective as Environment Canada would have to implement additional protocols and standards operating procedures and training of the staff on multiple systems.
For all the above reasons, this is the only known existing system that is capable of performing this requirement.
Delivery date: 6 weeks at receipt of order , if at all possible
