Series 200

Severn Trent Services developed the all-vacuum gas

feeders which has become the worldwide standard.
ADVANCE® Series 200 gas feeders are designed for
manual or semi-automatic gas regulation. Automatic is
a simple addition.
Easy to install, for indoor or outdoor installation, each
200 Series feeder is factory tested and needs no field
adjustment prior to start-up. Ten different flowmeter
capacities provide versatility in meeting gas flow
requirements. Feeders mount directly on the gas valve

 Warranty and Capability
Severn Trent Services offers a lifetime warranty on the diaphragm and springs. There is a three (3) year limited
warranty on ADVANCE® 200 Series equipment.
Severn Trent Services is ISO 9001 certified to provide quality and precision materials. Disinfection technologies,
water quality monitors and instrumentation for water and wastewater are areas of specialization. Over 35 years
of industrial and municipal application experience in the water and wastewater industries is incorporated into the
equipment design to provide high quality comprehensive solutions for the global market.

Brief Specification
The gas feeder design shall be of the vacuum operated, solution feed type. The gas feeder shall be constructed
of materials suitable for wet or dry gas service. All springs used in the vacuum regulator shall be of tantalum alloy
(stainless steel for ammonia). The rate valve and seat shall be solid silver (stainless steel for ammonia). A double-
thickness diaphragm shall be provided for vacuum regulation. The rate of gas feed shall be set manually and shall
remain constant until manually changed. The gas shall flow at sonic velocity and a differential pressure regulator
shall not be required.
The system shall be convertible to automatic control by insertion of a motorized control valve in the vacuum line to
receive a signal from the appropriate control equipment.
The vacuum regulator shall mount directly on the container valve by means of a corrosion resistant yoke assembly.
A spring-opposed inlet valve shall close tight upon loss of vacuum. Each vacuum regulator shall be equipped with a
loss-of-gas indicator, and a gas flowmeter. A spring-loaded diaphragm actuated pressure relief valve integral to the
vacuum regulator shall be provided to relieve gas pressure. The inlet capsule shall be a complete module, installed
without the use of any tools.
The vacuum producing device shall be an ejector with a spring-loaded check valve to prevent flooding of the vacuum
regulator or a CHLOR-A-VAC® chemical induction unit, Series 1420.
Automatic switchover shall be provided with automatic reset and integrally mounted vacuum regulator flow
indicator.
