Now called Sterling Security Systems, the locks carry a new logo mark. They are designed with a continuous shackle that is rotated to open the lock. There are several keying preferences including keyed alike in which one key fits all, keyed differently and a master keyed version in which locks are keyed differently but with one master key that opens all locks. Sterling also offers its One-Shot, a single use permanent seal that must be destroyed to be removed.Sterling Security Systems Div.Engineering UnlimitedMinneapolis, MNTel: 800-515-4040Data management softwareOperator 10® Plus by AllMax Professional Solutions provides a data management software for wastewater, biosolids, pretreatment and water processes.

Click here to enlarge imageWater System Security CapabilitiesIn a new white paper, "Implementing Security Measures in a SCADA System," Bristol Babcock explains how its Network 3000 and OpenEnterprise SCADA Systems can be used for security purposes. The SCADA system is typically distributed throughout the entire facility and brings all the information to the operations staff. Security equipment, including video cameras, motion detectors, contact switches, keyless entry devices and card readers can be interfaced either directly to the SCADA network or via a nearby RTU. A network-wide alarm system is built-in. The company's RTU time stamps alarms and events, and can react to conditions and perform emergency shutdowns, start/stop equipment, and other critical functions.Bristol BabcockWatertown, CTTel: 860-945-2200Website: www.bristolbabcock.com

They are considered the most efficient technology available for transferring oxygen into wastewater. The diffusers' design and geometry promote uniform air distribution and bubble release. The threaded retainer ring/holder concept ensures an airtight seal between the diffuser and top mounted O-ring gasket, thereby eliminating potential leaks. The pipe support anchoring system is constructed of stainless steel to resist corrosion and provide strength. The supports are adjustable for precise leveling on sloped or irregular floors. Positive locking, anti-rotational spline joints and sliding guide supports allow the pipe to slide freely through supports to accommodate expansion and contraction. The patented joint features a positive, O-ring seal and threaded locking retainer ring to prevent air leakage and pipe blow apart.Sanitaire, a Div.
