Chlorine containment
TGO Technologies has developed a simple containment system for chlorine gas cylinders. The company's Chlortainer allows water and wastewater treatment facilities to process gas chlorine from a cylinder that is totally sealed within a vessel, insuring no release of chlorine. The vessel is designed to withstand the maximum anticipated pressure of release created by a failed cylinder. The containment systems are available to accommodate 150 pound and one-ton cylinders. The process piping from the vessels are outfitted with a "fail-safe" valve preventing exposure to the operator or atmosphere thereby complying with Article 80 of the Uniform Fire Code. The system eliminates the need for hazardous waste disposal and on-site caustic scrubbing systems. Installation is easy. The vessel is lifted into position by a forklift and bolted into place. The system releases absolutely no toxic gas, will shut down automatically during a seismic event, and does not rely upon multiple mechanical devices to function.

Remote monitoring/control
TX Technology introduces its family of Remote Monitoring and Control Systems from the 911 Sentinel. The systems offer features ranging from the 32 universal inputs and 8 relay outputs, to the 911-M Micro and 911-M which easily can be expanded from 24 to 336 monitoring points. These low cost alternatives to SCADA require no costly dedicated phone lines, and the universal inputs are compatible with virtually all sensors, transducers and switches. These systems will monitor and notify the user of a problem, while taking corrective action to minimize damage, loss and risk. They are ideally suited for your water, wastewater and industrial monitoring and control requirements.

Submerged UV system
The LPX200 submerged UV system from Suntec Environmental was designed with the wastewater treatment plant operator in mind. The company's lamp technology disinfects more wastewater than traditional low pressure, high output lamp designs. Space requirements are reduced and lower quality effluent can be treated. The system's ballasts are "cooled by configuration," with no additional cooling systems, cabinets, or buildings required to support the operation of the ballasts. Automatic cleaning offers convenience and lower maintenance costs. UV lamp output follows changes in effluent quality and flow rate. Compact power distribution centers save space and use a modular design.

Pipe supports
Standon Pipe Supports from Material Resources are manufactured in a variety of styles. The Model S89 Flange Support is a patented design used exclusively with flanged pipe, fittings, and valves. The Model S92 is a pipe saddle support featuring a 170° cradle, with an inside diameter sized for ductile iron. Also offered is a clamp version Model C92 which offers full circle retention. Existing installations that require support replacement without disturbing existing integrity can use the Model S96 Flange Cradle Support. This cradles existing pipe/valve flanges with a wide flange saddle, designed to maintain its position without removing existing flange bolts. All Standon supports come standard with a galvanized finish for corrosion protection. All feature the same exclusive three-piece system (base, collar, support), which allows height adjustment from 7" to over 20'. Supports are packaged in easily handled boxes with instructions included.

Retractable covers
GTI's new cover system allows tanks to be securely covered while providing access to internal components. Ideal for clarifiers, chlorine contact basins, sedimentation tanks, and aeration basins, the covers contain odors, capture VOCs, eliminate sunlight penetration and prevent splashing. The system is a high performance membrane cover supported on a low-profile aluminum arch frame. The UV protected membrane cover is gas tight and can be quickly detached and rolled up along the frame. The arch frames can be remove for complete access to the tank. Optional hatches allow access without retracting the cover. Off-gas removal piping connects to the cover system.

Shutoff valves
New ApolloRegistered AlleviatorRegistered through-wall shutoff valves from Conbraco are available in 13", 16" and 22" lengths. They feature a corrosion-resistant all-bronze body and come in 3/4", 1", 1 1/4", 1 1/2" and 2" pipe sizes. Their design helps prevent freeze-ups and potential water damage by keeping the shutoff inside and away from freezing temperatures. They work well with all configurations of backflow preventers, including pressure vacuum breakers, reduced pressure principal assembly and double check assembly versions.

Ballasted flocculation
USFilter Kruger Products offers the ACTIFLORegistered ballasted flocculation process for high rate clarification. The system is designed to save costs and meet regulations. The system takes a typical chemical floc and attaches it to a particle of sand. The end result is "floc on a rock." By utilizing microsand as a seed for floc formation, the company has developed a flocculation/sedimentation process that is up to 20 times smaller than conventional clarification. Besides having an ultra-small footprint, the system offers additional benefits because the sand allows for more effective removal of solids, organics, pathogens, and other typical water contaminants. The sand also stabilizes the process during sudden fluctuations in raw water quality.
