As the demand for clean water intensifies and regulations around PFAS grow stricter, treatment systems must be both effective and resilient. Technologies like activated carbon, ion exchange, and membrane filtration are leading the charge—but their success hinges on the precision and reliability of the instrumentation behind them.

Barksdale offers a comprehensive suite of control products that ensure PFAS treatment systems operate safely, efficiently, and sustainably. Let’s explore how Barksdale’s pressure, level, and temperature instruments support these critical applications.

Product Application: 

• Pressure transducers such a Series BoT monitor and regulate the pressure in filtration units, ensuring the removal of PFAS contaminants without over-pressurizing the system.
  • Barksdale’s Industrial Pressure Transducers combine durability, precision, and smart integration, making them a trusted choice for engineers and operators managing PFAS treatment systems. Their ability to withstand harsh conditions while delivering accurate, actionable data helps protect equipment, optimize media performance, and ensure consistent contaminant removal.

• Mechanical pressure switches such as the BPS3000 are used to monitor pump suction/discharge pressures to help ensure efficient operation.
  • Barksdale’s mechanical pressure switches are a strong fit for PFAS treatment systems because they provide dependable control of pump suction and discharge pressures, helping maintain consistent flow and prevent equipment damage; their durable design, broad pressure range, and proven reliability make them ideal for managing critical pressure points in water treatment operations.

• Differential pressure switches, level switches such as LevelSite and indicating gauges track the levels in storage tanks and reactors, activating processes to avoid overflow or emptying.
  • Barksdale’s level switches and indicators are ideal for PFAS treatment systems because they provide accurate and dependable monitoring of fluid levels in storage tanks and reactors, helping prevent overflow or dry-run conditions; with options like multi-point float switches and electronic dual level switches, these products support automated control, improve system reliability, and ensure consistent flow through critical treatment stages.

• Temperature monitoring such as Series ML1H, L2H ensures that the system operates within safe thermal limits, preventing any negative impact on adsorption media or system components.
  • Barksdale’s local mount temperature switches are a smart choice for PFAS treatment systems because they provide accurate thermal monitoring to protect sensitive filtration media like activated carbon and ion exchange resins; their compact design, reliable switching, and compatibility with industrial environments help ensure the system operates within safe temperature limits, preventing performance loss or equipment damage.

Conclusion: Trusted Control for Critical Water Treatment

PFAS remediation demands more than advanced filtration—it requires precision, reliability, and control at every stage of the process. Barksdale’s instrumentation solutions, from pressure transducers and switches to level and temperature monitoring devices, provide the backbone of safe and efficient PFAS treatment systems.
