A.Y. McDonald has added 100 PSIG pressure relief valves to its line of relief valves in 3/4”, 1” and 1 1/4”. The line currently includes 1/2” through 2” pressure relief valves factory-set to open at 30 PSI, 1/2” through 1” valves set to open at 75 PSIG, and 1-1/4” through 2” valves set to open at 65 PSIG. Accidental sticking of the pressure switch can cause the pump to develop pressure that could burst the tank but with the installation of an A.Y. McDonald pressure relief valve, this scenario is no longer a concern.

Activated carbon for odor control
Cabot Norit Activated Carbon’s DARCO® H2S HF activated carbon for odor control applications is designed to deliver superior hydrogen sulfide and odor removal while improving operational efficiency by reducing system pressure drop. Many sewage treatment plants are demanding odor removal solutions that deliver improved efficiency while enabling them to consume less energy and reduce operational costs. The larger particle size gives the product a low pressure drop and high removal efficiency for harmful hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The high flow characteristics enable the product to operate efficiently under less pressure, while its high H2S removal capacity results in longer life and less frequent change outs, dramatically reducing customers’ purification costs.

Submersible pump check valve
The 1” and 1 1/4” Model 80DI VFD patented submersible pump check valves from Flomatic for use with variable-frequency drive control submersible pumps are designed to minimize flow losses and hydraulic shocks in the pumping system. Standard check valves will “chatter” and be noisy when a VFD goes to low flow, causing premature wear and eventual failure. This unique valve features a standard epoxy-coated, (NSF®-approved powder) ductile iron body to support deep set pumps. The radiuses of the valve seat allow a self-cleaning “one point swiping action” by the radius-edged, custom-molded rubber seal disc. Corrosion-resistant internal parts.
