GE has introduced a new biocide for industrial cooling water systems designed to reduce microbiologically influenced corrosion and the potential risk of Legionella bacteria. The Spectrus TD1100E is a non-oxidizing microbiological control agent used to kill or control growth of microbial populations in open evaporative cooling systems. It improves heat transfer rates; increases efficiency; reduces the amount of chemicals, which lowers environmental impact; and diminishes adsorbable organic halogens in effluent water. Spectrus also reduces sessile bacteria (biomass), which is a key risk factor for Legionella development on a cooling system.

The B-series range of self-priming centrifugal pumps from BBA Pumps are available in sizes from 1" to 12" and are ideal for applications where low-tech solutions are required and budgeted, trouble-free operation is crucial. The 6", diesel-driven, solids-handling BE160 model has now been modified from a technical point of view, making it suitable for regions where ambient temperatures can be extremely high. With a max flow of 345 m3/h, it is now available with an air-cooled diesel engine. The major benefit of this is that users don't have to deal with polluted radiators and overheated engines.

The Spectroline® TRITAN™ 365 is a powerful, multi-LED, broad-beam ultraviolet (UV) leak-detection lamp. When used with Spectroline fluorescent dyes, it pinpoints fluid leaks in a wide range of industrial systems such as hydraulic equipment, compressors, engines, gearboxes, fuel systems, and more. The TRITAN features three ultra-hi-flux UV LEDs for fluorescent leak detection, plus a white light LED for general component inspection in dimly lit areas. The lamp's broad-beam profile provides extra-wide area coverage -- 45-inch (114-cm) diameter at a 20-foot (6.1-m) distance -- making it ideal for quick leak checking of large surface areas.

The Elite Plus range of reverse osmosis units from Purite helps breweries meet high water purity demand. The units incorporate semi-permeable membranes through which pressurized feedwater is passed to remove up to 98% of inorganic ions and 99% of dissolved organic contaminants. The range can provide permeate outputs from 750 to 10,000 L/hr. This effective water purification solution, which provides consistent and high-purity water on demand, is especially useful for lagers and ales that consist of more delicate flavors, where purified water is even more important because it has far less impact on taste.
