Aquatech expanded its WATERTRAK™ pre-engineered water treatment components to include six new L Series product lines. These include multi-media filters, activated carbon filters, RO systems and water softeners. With them, industrial operations can benefit by reducing dependence on external water supplies, and save money by buying less freshwater and discharging less waste. All feature Aquatech's TRAKlink™ technology to simplify connections and integrate components, thus pre-engineering out many installation and start-up delays. Designs are created to work as standalone units or be easily integrated into system packages. Aquatech International Corp., Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, USA, www.aquatech.com

RO membrane antiscalants
BASF will introduce a new portfolio with antiscalants for RO membrane processes at the IDA World Desalination Congress in Dubai on Nov. 7-12. Sokalan® RO additives for the use in desalination processes have outstanding scale-inhibiting performance and low environmental impact. Specialty products are available for silica inhibition or against iron fouling. Their use results in longer operation times of RO desalination plants without cleaning. Compatible with major available membranes and approved in many MED and MSF desalination plants, the products are either phosphorus free or have a low phosphorus content.
