The new FPS IGPH series of high head grinder pumps from Franklin Electric are engineered for the tough demands of higher head conditions found in many low pressure sewage transfer applications. Available in an automatic or manual version, the pumps utilize a patented cutter system with tight clearances for grinding at 414,000 cuts per minute. Two non-clogging impeller stages provide efficient pumping of sewage slurries with a shut-off head of 200 feet. Available in single-phase or three-phase versions, the pumps employ a powerful 2 hp, 3,450 rpm motor to handle the demands of grinding domestic sewage.

Service-in-place pump
NETZSCH Pumps North America LLC introduces a new full service-in-place (FSIP) version of its industry-leading NEMO® progressive cavity pump. Ideal for wear-intensive applications, the maintenance-friendly FSIP™ design has been re-engineered to provide full access to all the pump’s rotating parts. Users can open the in-service pump housing, dismantle all rotating parts, and install them again without having to disconnect the pump from the piping or having to remove the motor. The NEMO’s rotor-stator unit can be lifted out after opening the newly designed inspection cover on the pump housing without the need for any special tools, significantly reducing installation and maintenance time.

Orthophosphate analyzer
The Liquiline System CA80PH is an orthophosphate analyzer for monitoring water treatment processes. The CA80PH is available in four measuring ranges, two using the standard molybdenum method (blue method; DIN EN 1189) for low range measurement down to 50 μg/L and two using the molybdate vanadate method (yellow method) for high range measurements up to 50 mg/L. Samples and analyses can be taken as often as necessary. A typical sample analysis takes 8-11 minutes depending on the method used. The analyzer automatically obtains a water sample from the process, filters it, adds the reagent, measures the intensity, and then cleans the sampling system with compressed air or water in preparation for the next test.

Square manhole adjustment
Based on the success and acceptance of the round PRO-RING™ Manhole Grade Adjustment System, Cretex now offers square and rectangular PRO-RING™ systems. These new products are manufactured from the same engineered polymer, expanded polypropylene (EPP), as the round versions and meet the loading requirements of AASHTO HS-25. EPP is renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, chemical resistance, durability and long service life. PRO-RING™ is approximately 1/20th the weight of concrete grade rings, which makes them easier to handle, safer and reduces the risk of worker injury.

Cyanobacteria monitoring
FlowCam® Cyano was developed for the early detection of harmful cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) in fresh bodies of water. Based on proven dynamic imaging particle analysis (DIPA) technology, the new patent-pending FlowCam Cyano examines a fluid under a microscope, takes images of the magnified particles within that fluid, and characterizes the particles using a variety of measurements. The system uses an ultra-high-precision, computer-controlled syringe pump to pull the fluid sample through a flow cell perpendicular to the optical path. Applications include early detection and monitoring of cyanobacteria, algal population dynamics and classification, and water resource management and research.
