Analysis, monitoring
New literature describes how the Inficon Scentograph CMS200 Portable Water and Air Analysis/Monitoring System uses purge and trap gas chromatograph (GC) technology to analyze water and air samples on site and on time. The device is well-suited for several applications ranging from source water protection and early alert for water contamination to fence line air monitoring and testing for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in cooling tower water. It also detects toxic industrial chemicals (TICs) and chemical warfare agents (CWAs) within minutes for faster decisions about potentially critical issues.

Solenoid valves
The cx-tec® solenoid valve, available from Springer Co-Ax, has a coaxial, straight-through, high flow design. The coaxial design eliminates internal pilot orifices and provides high flow rates. The integral actuator is never subject to the flow — whether gelatinous, pasty or contaminated fluids are seen or gases from vacuum to 600 psi. The combination of rugged construction and only one moving part allows the valve to offer up to 10 times the cycle life of more expensive solenoid valves equipped with external actuators, linkages and stem seals. For more information send for the guidebook "An Introduction to Coaxial Valve Technology."

Wastewater treatment
USFilter has published a new brochure about the AGAR™ process which enables wastewater treatment plants to increase treatment capacity without increasing plant size. The innovative biological process uses thousands of special biomass carriers to increase total surface area for biofilm growth. As a result, treatment plants can handle increasing flows and loadings without expanding the treatment plant footprint.

Mixing system
A new 8-page brochure describes how the Tideflex® Mixing System (TMS) from Red Valve can eliminate stagnation ands thermal stratification in water storage reservoirs. The system uses patented Tideflex® Check Valve technology combined with a piping manifold to provide a better mixing system than the traditional common inlet/outlet system typically used in water tanks. Effective mixing of stored water and incoming water vastly decreases the formation and growth of dangerous bacteria, loss of disinfectant residual, disinfectant by-product formation, nitrification in chlorinated systems, and algae and biofilm growth.

Reference materials
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released its new, comprehensive Standard Reference Materials Catalog. NIST supplies industry, academia, government, and other users with over 1,300 reference materials of the highest quality and metrological value. These standards are currently available for use in industrial materials production and analysis, environmental analysis, health measurements, and basic measurements in science and metrology. Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) have been used by NIST as vehicles for transferring measurement science and technology, through channels of industry and commerce, to the nation at large. As such, SRMs are crucial reference points in the establishment of a comprehensive measurement system for the entire nation.
