New Products

Fluoramics has introduced HinderRust™, a zero-VOC, surface-active rust inhibitor and industrial lubricant. The product has no solvents, won't wash away and is suited for confined spaces because of its non-aerosol application. Its low viscosity and surface activity allow it to soak into every nook and cranny of cable and steel structures. It is designed to stop rust and corrosion due to salt water and salt air. When used on wire cable or rope, it both lubricates and prevents rust. Fluoramics Inc.www.hinderRUST.com

Jet mixers are used in wastewater treatment applications where liquid blending, solids suspension, flow generation or chemical reactions are key process parameters. Jet mixing is a very effective way to distribute mixing energy while minimizing power input in large diameter reactors. The in-tank components are FRP and/or stainless steel with no moving parts. Conventional pumps are used for the jet motive flow and are located just outside the tanks for ease in maintenance. Compared to alternative mixing technologies, a KLa jet mixing system offers: Proven 20+ Years Design Life, Low Installed Cost, Low Maintenance Cost, Superior Process Performance, and Superior Corrosion and Abrasion Resistance KLa Systems Inc.www.klasystems.com

Kirk Key's HD Series Type DM Access Interlock is designed to protect equipment and workers from costly errors during electrical and switchgear maintenance.

Ductile iron pipe

The new NXT DDP product line from U.S. Pipe provides better joint deflection, pumping costs and corrosion protection when compared to previous water transmission systems. Allowing joint deflection up to seven degrees, the NXT gasket is available in both restrained and non-restrained versions. The unique design allows lower insertion forces than previous "push-on" gasket designs. Taking advantage of recent developments in casting technology, the NXT DDP system allows the pipe wall to be thinner than previously available, which reduces weight and increases the inside diameter, allowing greater flow and reduced pumping cost. Corrosion protection is provided by various combinations of standard and advanced coatings. US Pipe and Foundry Co.www.uspipe.com

Val-Matic's AWWA Swing Check Valve is designed for industrial water and wastewater applications and incorporates features that provide energy savings, ease of maintenance and extended valve life.
