Xylem has unveiled a new wastewater pumping system called Flygt Experior. By combining advances to its hydraulics, premium efficiency motors and intelligent controls, the new pump line offers up to 50 percent energy savings compared to conventional wastewater pumps in a package that is simple to install and easy to operate. The pumps will feature the company’s Adaptive N Technology that allows the impeller to move axially upward when necessary to permit bulky materials or tough debris to pass through smoothly, significantly reducing stress on the shaft, seals and bearings.

Drum dryer
The ENCON Drum Dryer is a compact system that concentrates slurries and sludge to a dry condition. These systems are electrically heated, operate in batch mode, and are controlled on a time and temperature basis. The dryer completely encapsulates a 55-gallon drum of sludge or slurry and heats it from outside the drum. Since the heating elements do not contact the sludge or slurry there is no requirement to clean the heat transfer surface. Temperatures are controlled with a thermocouple and timer system to provide consistent heating and accurate level of dryness. ENCON Evaporators,www.evaporator.com
Electrodeionization
Siemens Industry Automation Division has launched the Ionpure VNX CDIT module as an addition to the Ionpure VNX series of modules for continuous electrodeionization (CEDI). Using thin cell technology with a high water hardness tolerance, the new unit enables system designers to eliminate costly second-pass reverse osmosis (RO) pretreatment of typical EDI systems. In addition, it can also replace aging chemically regenerated mixed bed resin systems that are already operating on single-pass RO. Siemens Industry Automation Division,www.siemens.com/water
Mobile pump, tank cart
A new non-metallic, Mobile Pump/Tank Cart from Vanton transfers wastewater and caustic/acidic chemicals with no corrosion, and ultrapure fluids with no contamination. All fluid contact surfaces of the tank, base plate, and secondary containment chamber are of solid polypropylene, polyethylene, PVC or other inert thermoplastic, precluding chemical attack across the entire pH range. The pump, a Flex-I-Liner® model CC-PY12B, uses a rotor mounted on an eccentric shaft to push fluid trapped between a flexible elastomer liner and a solid thermoplastic body block at flows to 2 gpm, pressures to 25 psig and temperatures to 185°F.

Plastic valves
Flush valve assemblies designed, molded and assembled by Minnesota Rubber and Plastics ensure exact flow rate while resisting water degradation and component swell. Molded of a custom thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and Acetal formulation, these valve assemblies have the physical properties to meet demanding pressure flex requirements and product life expectations. The multi-component assembly is produced in large quantities, eliminating the need for multiple components from multiple suppliers. Minnesota Rubber and Plastics, www.mnrubber.com

TOC analyzer
LAR’s QuickTOCcondensate is an on-line measurement system for the determination of TOC in low ranges up to 2000 ppb with optional multi-stream operation. The patented and ready-at-anytime calibration and validation method prevents any contaminations in contrast to liquid standards, simplifies the handling considerably and works via remote control. Basis of this innovative method is the catalyst-free high-temperature method at 1,200°C, whereby the total carbon is oxidized completely. LAR Process Analysers, www.lar.com
