Sundyne’s LMV-803Lr ultra-low NPSHr, high-flow pump is an API 610 compliant direct-drive process pump available in either OH3 or OH5 motor mounting configuration that provides ultra-low NPSHr performance - less than 10 feet (2 m) across the entire performance range - for flows to 800 GPM (180 m3 / hr) and heads to 1,000 feet (305 m). This ultra-low NPSHr capability allows the pump to be installed at grade level, eliminating the expense of installation in a pit and performing maintenance in a confined space. It also features a vertical design.

Compliance monitoring of ballast water
The Ballast-Check 2 from Turner Designs is a small, handheld fluorometer that enables quick, indicative checks of ballast water samples. Testing of ballast water samples can be a time-consuming process requiring trained personnel and expensive equipment. Portable tools such as the Ballast-Check 2, which requires no reagents and minimal training, are an ideal way for ship operators to quickly check that they meet discharge standards before pulling into port and to provide documentation to state port control officials.

Glass-reinforced epoxy pipe
The Glass Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) piping system from EPP offers a complete solution for the offshore environment against highly corrosive fluids at various pressures, temperatures, adverse soil and weather conditions (especially in oil exploration, desalination, chemical plants, fire mains, dredging, portable water, and more). With this system, there is no need for linings, coatings, cathodic protection, wraps or other forms of additional corrosion control. Pipes are lightweight, keeping transport costs low. An extremely smooth inner bore means less friction loss in pipelines, less pumping energy needs and lower operating costs. Pipes meet AWWA M45 and ISO 14692 standards. EPP Composites Pvt. Ltd.
Air stripper
The E-Z Tray® Air Stripper is a sliding tray, stainless steel air stripper ideal for removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from contaminated groundwater and waste streams. As contaminated groundwater enters through the top of the air stripper, air bubbles are forced by blower pressure up through the perforated trays. This creates a turbulent froth zone with an extremely high air-to-liquid surface area for mass transfer of VOCs from liquid to air. Using the froth instead of a conventional tower packing delivers high VOC removal efficiencies, even under fouling conditions. The system is easy to inspect and maintain, even during use.

Improved stator design
NETZSCH Pumps North America’s new iFD-Stator® 2.0 features a two-part, reusable stator housing and replaceable stator. Changing the stator within the housing is remarkably easy, with simple, compression-free assembly and disassembly. The defined compression for the iFD-Stator 2.0 is automatically generated when the elastomer collar is fastened. The new housing concept is easier to handle than the previous generation and delivers a longer service life than competing options. The iFD-Stator 2.0 delivers reduced pulsation and improved fluid flow compared to conventional stator design, as well as a considerable increase in efficiency due to reduced starting and running torque.

Flowmeter verification tool
KROHNE’s OPTICHECK flowmeter verification tool provides in-situ verification for mass and other flowmeters. It enables operators to perform preventive maintenance and responsive service to ensure that installed flowmeters are performing to specification. When the tool is connected in-line on site, it gathers measuring data to ensure that the flowmeter is performing within 1% of the factory calibration with a confidence level of 95%. The baseline for comparison can be historic repair data from the factory or on-site test results after performing a full verification. The device comes with all cables and accessories for easy connection and handling.

Automatic volumetric feeder
Scaletron Industries has introduced a new line of volumetric screw feeders for metered dispensing of powdered or pelletized chemicals into water, wastewater and chemical treatment processes. The Model VMF-28™ auger-style feeders feature a fully integrated Scaletron scale. Precise dosage amounts are automatically weighed and added to treatment processes without requiring an operator to measure and weigh amounts. Data is displayed at a central monitoring station where operators can quickly make adjustments as necessary from the control panel. Besides saving operators time, the new VMF feeders improve accuracy because the integrated scale continually monitors weight loss or gain.
