PAC batching system
The new NORIT PortaPAC Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) batching system is designed to help control purification operations more effectively. This wet injection system hydraulically mixes and conveys an adjustable amount of PAC from bulk bags into a liquid stream. The portable unit consists of two eight-foot-tall sections for easy shipping and quick set-up and relocation. A volumetric feeder delivers between 10 and 100 pounds per hour of PAC. The interactive batching system mixes and delivers a recipe of PAC and process liquid. These are added by weight and mixed in an agitated stainless steel tank. After a mixing cycle, the batch is pumped out and the vessel rinsed before the next cycle.

Paperless data recorder
The DataGraph VRC Series Paperless Recorder manages critical process data with no maintenance and eliminates costly paper and pens. It features a splash-proof front panel and permits a sampling rate twice as fast as previous models. The recorder has a TFT color display. A measurement rate of 125 milliseconds is accompanied by six or 12 direct universal inputs that are menu selectable for DC voltage, DC current, thermocouples and RTD's. A powerful math package includes +, -, x, /, square root, logarithms, totalization, powers, averages, timers and many more. Direct input channels not being used can be set up as calculated channels. Three channels have been set aside as dedicated math channels for a total of 15 channels altogether.

Chlorine residual analyzer
Ecometrics has developed a new "Reagentless" Chlorine Residual Analyzer/Monitor. The new Series 8100 Analyzer is designed to measure free chlorine residual in water continuously without the need for reagents. The unit incorporates microprocessor based control technology and has integral pH compensation. It also features a field selectable range between 0 and 20 ppm, and high/low alarms are standard. The gold and copper electrodes are self-cleaning and a thermistor compensates for sample temperature variation.

Plastic two-way water valve
A new compact, lightweight, general-purpose two-way valve provides a solution to ON/OFF flow control. Burkert's new Type 6228 valve can be combined with the company's flow controllers or flow switches (Types 8035 or 8032.) It is available in 3/8 and 1/2 NPT, with Cv values for water flow at 2.1 and 3.76, respectively. It operates at pressures from 7 to 140 psi at temperatures from 14 to 121 degrees F. The valve is rated with a 15 cpm, 100% duty cycle. The servo assisted valve action shuts tight even when used with pressurized air.

Vertical pumps
Moyno has taken its advanced progressing cavity Ultratrademark technology and incorporated it into a new, vertical pump design. The new pump can be flange mounted to closed tanks or affixed to mounting beams above open tanks. With its inlet submerged, the pump pulls fluid from the bottom of a vessel and discharges it out at the surface for further processing downstream. Features include flow range of 20 to 350 gpm and pressure capabilities to 150 psi.

Screenings washer
JWC Environmental is offering a limited time 60-day free trial on its new Screenings Washer Monster. The system is a self-contained, hopper-fed screenings washing, compacting and dewatering system. It comes equipped with its own Muffin MonsterRegistered. The system grinds screenings that have been captured by a bar screen or other screenings device before compacting and dewatering the inorganic material for disposal. The removed solids are up to 50% drier, 75% compacted and virtually void of fecal matter. The end result is lighter and cleaner than typical screened solids. Captured solids are processed through a grinder and passed to an auger, which washes and separates the soft organics from the plastics, paper and other undesirables.
