Retaining lid
Meissner QuaDrum® rigid outer containers (ROCs) are now available for rehydration and mixing applications. A new accessory retaining lid, stainless steel dolly and true bottom drain option allow the ROC to deliver enhanced recirculation-based mixing functionality for process volumes between 50 and 200 L. The new retaining lid option for mixing applications not only provides access to fluid paths located on the top of the biocontainer but also can positively locate and support a 3” TC port on top of the biocontainer. This port can be used for powder addition or other operations that require large bore access.

Pump protection system
The VapourView Pump Protection System from Sundyne is now cUL, ATEX and IECEx approved. The system is an innovative tool that monitors the gas inside the process fluid as it passes through a sealless magnetic drive pump. When the probe detects the presence of even the most minute gas levels - as low as 1% per volume - a warning signal is sent to the process operator. This instant feedback helps prevent harm to the pump from occurring by providing early warning of incorrect priming, venting, cavitation or entrained process gas, which can result in pump damage or even failure. Key features include a non-invasive detection sensor, flameproof electronics, on-board data recording, and a local visual display, as well as a wide temperature operating range of -40 to +356°F (-40 to +180°C).

Coupling with patented winged design
The BaldorDodge® Raptor coupling from Baldor Electric Company features a finite-element optimized winged elastomeric element design. Raptor’s patented WingLock technology increases surface area at the most critical regions of the element, resulting in higher bond strength, improved fatigue resistance, and longer life than competitive urethane designs. A non-lubricated natural rubber element results in lower stiffness and improved vibration damping. For reduced maintenance, the Raptor offers a split element for easy installation and replacement without moving or realigning connected equipment. Slotted clamp ring holes offer extra clearance for mounting hardware. Couplings are third-party ATEX certified for use in hazardous environments. Raptor elements are also available with an Armored element that exceeds ASTM 1149-07 rubber deterioration standards for use in extreme environments.

Low profile, high volume chamber
The StormTech SC-160LP Chamber is an addition to the Advanced Drainage Systems StormTech product line and is 12 inches tall with an installed volume of 15 cubic feet of water for underground infiltration and detention systems. The new unit requires 14 inches of total cover to carry AASHTO HS-20 live loads, which reduces site development costs in shallow applications by minimizing the amount of needed fill and maximizing open infiltrative areas. The chamber requires no separation between chamber rows, making it easier for the contractor to install and also minimizing the aggregate required. It can be installed using an injection-molded 8-inch end cap or a solid end cap.
