Q.E.D. Environmental Systems’ new Autopump Ultra 4.5 for landfills eases wear, cleaning and maintenance. It features three times the clearance between the float and discharge tube of the previous version, as well as increased clearance between the float and outer casing. This cost-saving improvement allows for more high solids and precipitate to be pumped without the pump stalling, extending usage between cleaning and maintenance breaks. All metal parts are made from 316 stainless steel, and float ends on the pump are made from engineered plastics for easy cleaning, less friction and wear on the discharge tube.

Mesh filterGKD-USA introduces a completely new mesh filter for the oil and gas exploration and water filtration markets. Called porometric mesh, the product is a new mesh weave with significantly more porosity and air permeability. Developed from a comprehensive experimental study in which the erosion behavior of filter media for sand control in well pipes was investigated, the new type of mesh brings oil and gas exploration facilities more throughput at local pore velocities. For water and wastewater filtration facilities, the mesh offers high permeability, low-pressure losses and a sharp particle retention rate.

Heavy metal precipitation
Synlite is a patented chemical reagent that permanently encapsulates hazardous metals allowing for an effective way to dispose of dangerous toxic sludge. Synlite can directly replace existing hydroxide precipitants and is introduced into water via solid or slurry forms. All that’s left behind is a non-hazardous sludge that passes EPA 1311 TCLP. It can be used as a standalone product or in addition to other products. The hydroxyl components in Synlite raise the pH of solution for precipitation of metals while the zeolite material removes metals by adsorption, ion exchange and physically trapping ions within the lattice structure.

Methane detection
Satelytics, an Ohio-based software company, announces passive methane detection methods for wells and pipelines. Satelytics is a software platform designed for customers in the oil & gas, pipeline, power, and water & wastewater industries that need to monitor large and geographically dispersed infrastructure. It synthesizes large volumes of satellite and aerial imagery - measured in terabytes - into important areas of focus. The methane algorithm accounts for wind and atmospheric variation to ensure only the actual plume is quantified. Satelytics is able to monitor large areas, visualize methane plumes, and alert operators if measurements fall outside of prescribed thresholds.

Advanced filtration
Spiral Water Technologies introduces the Model S1000 automatic self-cleaning filter. Made with a robust stainless steel housing, it can be used for both process and wastewater streams. Designed to remove ultra-high and variable total suspended solids (TSS) from difficult-to-treat fluids in industrial process and wastewater treatment applications, it is ideal for use in such markets as food and beverage, power, chemicals, metals, and mining. It can operate at a maximum flow rate of 1,360 cubic meters per day (250 gpm), pressures up to 10.3 bar (150 psi) at 70°F, and temperatures up to 220°F (105°C).

Granular peat filtration
Axon Environmental Filters from Batta Technologies use thermally treated Swedish peat to filter oil, petroleum and heavy metals from water. The peat is hydrophobic, which means it won’t take on water, and can be disposed of easily. Design includes a pre-sedimentation chamber, and two peat chambers for increased contact time with filter media. Effluent water contains almost no contaminants and is clean enough for release into the environment by EPA standards.

IAF technology
CST Wastewater Solutions’ new Induced Air Flotation (IAF) technology is a major advancement on one of the world’s most preferred and simplest flotation technologies for industrial applications, Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF). The company’s energy-efficient IAF High Temperature Cell uses a spinning disk to provide pressurized air for vortex bubble formation in the volumes required in high temperature applications. The flotation cell is based on a multi-stage separation process with an internal launder to ensure the float product produced from the cell remains at the same temperature as the liquid, so as to facilitate sludge transfer.

Anti-microbial cooling
Delta Cooling Towers’ anti-microbial cooling tower is constructed of anti-microbial resin which is fully compounded into the base cooling tower material. The anti-microbial resin contains additives that operate on a cellular level to continuously disrupt and prevent uncontrolled growth of microorganisms and biofilm within the cooling tower. The design of many cooling towers creates pockets where water may stagnate, another condition that can lead to microorganism development. The stagnant water areas are prime breeding grounds for Legionella to grow. To avoid such problems, Delta’s cooling tower designs feature a sloped basin and/or basin sweeper system.

Corrosion-resistant coatings
Cortec’s VpCI®-368 coating has recently added extra Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors. Already, VpCI-368 provides excellent protection to metal substrates exposed to harsh outdoor conditions. The dark brown viscous liquid dries into a firm moisture-displacing, wax-like film that can be removed by mineral spirits or alkaline cleaners such as Cortec VpCI-414. The film can be used for a variety of applications where heavy-duty corrosion protection is needed. Available for application in complex, sealed spaces where a greater concentration of vapor inhibitor is beneficial. The extra dose of Cortec VpCI vaporizes from the coating, fills the enclosed space, and adsorbs on difficult-to-reach surfaces.
