Vertiflo's Series 1500 and 1600 horizontal end suction vortex pumps are suited for solids handling in areas like food processing, pollution control, recycling materials, slurries, industrial processing, and chemical processing. For applications in sewage treatment plants on primary and secondary sludge of 6% solids and less, these pumps provide an economical option to progressive cavity pumps. The base-mounted 1500 Series pumps are designed for use with any T frame motor or with virtually any type of drive, and the close-coupled 1600 Series pumps use any NEMA Standard JP Shaft Motor.Vertiflo Pump Co., www.vertiflopump.com
Hydrocarbon detectors
The PetroSense range of sensors is now supported by Envirologger, an advanced battery powered datalogger with extensive communications capability, including automatic data transfer to web sites. The probes can detect minute traces of hydrocarbons in soil or water and the data is transmitted instantaneously to a central server and relayed to the client on a web site, by email, SMS, file transfer protocol or via site manager software.

Bypass valve
A redesigned bypass valve from Minnesota Rubber and Plastics uses proprietary materials and a double rotary valve for more efficient water flow through water softener systems. The valve enhances the system's performance as it simplifies water softener maintenance. Using proprietary plastic and elastomer materials for the components, the company redesigned the assembly, solving the relationship between the torque valve and the seal contact. This required that rubber and plastic materials complemented each other's tolerance capabilities with a careful balance between the torque valve and the sealing contact.
