The goods being procured include Rosemount pressure transmitters used to monitor chlorine pressure and ozone, with the primary objective of ensuring safe and reliable equipment operation through the use of genuine Rosemount products from affiliated brands such as Rosemount Analytical, Emerson AMS TREX, Emerson Process Management, Emerson Automation Solutions, and Micro Motion.
