Instrumentation for Water Utilities and Treatment

Hinco Instruments supplies analytical, flow and level instruments to water utilities, treatment plants and industrial sites, and calibrates the sensors that keep water quality measurements accurate. We are an authorised Water Corporation service provider for trade waste.

From drinking water treatment to wastewater and trade waste, we serve customers across Australia from our Perth, WA base.

What we supply for water and wastewater

Instruments for treatment plants, networks and industrial discharge.

Instruments we supply for water utilities and treatment

Flow meters, level transmitters, water quality sensors and analysers, and H₂S loggers for water and wastewater networks.

Calibration, service and repair

We calibrate water quality sensors and the equipment used to build and maintain water infrastructure.

Why sensor calibration matters

Electrochemical sensors drift as they age and foul. A pH or dissolved oxygen reading that is slightly out can mean over-dosing chemicals, wasted aeration energy, or a discharge that is out of licence without anyone knowing.

Regular calibration against known buffer and standard solutions keeps readings honest and gives you a record to show your regulator.

Water projects we have worked on

A selection of jobs we have done for water utilities, councils and treatment operators.

• Flow metering and data logging on sewer pump stations in a remote WA community.
• Flow monitoring on a vacuum sewer system in central Perth.
• Effluent pond flow measurement at a wastewater facility.
• H₂S data logging in sewer networks.
• Telemetry data loggers for regional water suppliers.
• Instrumentation for wastewater treatment plants in WA and interstate.

Common questions from water operators

How often should pH and dissolved oxygen sensors be calibrated?

Twelve months is a common formal interval, but sensors in demanding service need checking more often, with routine checks against buffer and standard solutions in between. See water quality sensor calibration.

Do you do trade waste sampling?

Yes. We are an authorised Water Corporation service provider for trade waste. We take the samples and give you a report. See trade waste monitoring.

Can you help choose a flow meter for an existing pipe?

Yes. Tell us the pipe size and material, what is flowing and whether the line can be cut. We will recommend a full-bore electromagnetic meter or an insertion meter that fits without major pipework changes.
