Measurement &
Process Control

Context

Measure, act — and prove it

Industrial plants, hospitals, pharmaceutical sites, steel mills, wastewater treatment plants — any operation that interacts with the environment has to know what flows in and out, and be able to prove it. Discharge quality, overflow events, pH exceedances: measured, logged, defensible.

Measurement alone is rarely enough. The same sites need systems that act on what they measure — dosing reagents, regulating pH, controlling foam — often on Seveso-classified sites or in ATEX zones, where every piece of equipment is constrained.

I design, build, install and maintain both sides of that system, working with Ecotechnic, a long-established partner in environmental instrumentation.

Vortex flowmeter

Designed, fabricated and installed in-house

Off-the-shelf meters force the site to fit the product. My vortex flowmeters are designed for the geometry and flow conditions of each installation — channel profile, expected flow range and required accuracy drive the design.

The full process stays in one hand: hydraulic design of the vortex, mechanical fabrication, on-site installation and calibration.

Suitable for open channels, culverts and industrial discharge points.

Signal chain

A measurement is only as good as its signal chain

Electrical noise, long cable runs, drift, a sensor chosen for the datasheet rather than the site: these problems don't show up as errors — they show up as bad data that looks fine until it isn't.

I design the chain end to end — sensor selection, current loop and voltage signals, isolation and protection — and validate it on site, over the real distances involved, not just on the bench.

Classified environments

Seveso, ATEX — and simply hard-to-reach

On classified sites, an instrumentation failure isn't only an operational issue: it carries regulatory, safety and environmental consequences. Equipment selection, installation and maintenance follow the applicable standards and the site's own safety protocols.

Maintenance is scheduled to the site's regulatory requirements and operational criticality — and corrective interventions cover incidents affecting accuracy, availability or compliance.

When a site needs it, the mechanical side around the instrumentation is covered too: valves and pumps checked, freed and kept operable.

Who I work with

Any operation with an environmental footprint

Pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturers, steel producers, wastewater treatment plants, analytical laboratories, hospitals — and the environmental consultancies and engineering firms that need measurement infrastructure for site assessment or regulatory reporting.

If you need to know what's in your water, how much of it there is, and when something changed — that's the starting point.
