Laboratory testing

Odor Control Co. is now offering free lab testing of malodor samples. The company will test the sample and formulate an odor neutralizer that will eliminate the odor problem. Its lab helps customers determine the best molecularly structured odor neutralizer for their waste. A wastewater treatment plant might identify hydrogen sulfide as their primary source of odor problems. However, there might be additional, less detectable or identifiable odors being emitted into the air. Raw sewage has pesticides, food preservatives and other chemicals that add odors into the air. As an added service, the company will provide and pay for a sample testing kit and all related shipping and testing charges.

Roll groover

Ridge Tool has added the Ridgid® 920 roll groover to its family of roll grooving equipment. The Model 920 has a capacity range of 2" to 24" diameter pipe, the largest of any non-stationary groover. The portable groover mounts to the Ridgid 300 power drive for use in the field or the shop. Detachable transporter wheels enable one person to maneuver the groover around a job site. Support legs are adjustable to enable the groover to be leveled on uneven ground. The operating handle on the front of the unit swivels to the position most comfortable for the operator, and conveniently folds out of the way for transporting and storage. The groover features front roll set change-out for minimum set-up time, and a patented depth setting gauge that assures accurate grooving. The groover's built-in pressure gauge enables the operator to monitor the hydraulic pressure to control flare and optimize groove time.
