Dragflow's no-clog Pump EL60 RI is the first of its upcoming series of Recessed Impeller Pumps and ensures the passage of solids, up to 100 mm through the pump casing, avoiding the risk of clogging and increasing pump efficiency. Flowing solids are quickly discharged, reducing internal recirculation, so the hydraulic efficiencies and pump wear life are increased as well. Due to the natural flow of the fluid through the casing, fragile solids can pass through the pump with minimum risk of damage. The pump is also available with Dragflow's Agitator or Chopper, used separately or combined.

S-10FA from Cortec® Laboratories is a filming amine formula for corrosion control in boiler condensate systems. The molecules of S-10FA anchor their hydrophilic heads to wetted metal surfaces, while their hydrophobic tails will shield metal surfaces from contact with acidic corrosive condensates and prevent corrosion products, dirt and other impurities in condensate return systems from attaching to the metal. A thin, protective field is formed on the metal when S-10FA is volatilized in the steam stream. S-10FA should be added separately from other boiler treatment chemicals and preferably be injected into the steam header.

Under its BioSuck project, Fraunhofer UMSICHT is partnering with an international working group on redesigning waste management in the foodstuffs industry. By suctioning the waste that occurs by means of vacuum technology, less wastewater is incurred, which reduces disposal costs. At the same time, the waste that was transported hygienically and concentrated via the vacuum pipes can be utilized for bioenergy purposes or recycled. In the project, a system and guidelines are being developed for decision-makers in the foodstuff industry that provide information on when and where the installation of vacuum pipes for waste collection is ideal.

Aqua Bio Technologies has announced the PrO2 series, an advancement in the use of nanotechnology to treat wastewater with increased effectiveness and improved efficiency, saving time, costs and energy. The PRO2 Series works by inundating the aerobic bacteria with the oxygen it needs to consume large amounts of waste, rendering it harmless. Through nanotechnology, the system injects concentrated streams of oxygen-rich micro-bubbles into the targeted waste streams, enabling bacteria to consume up to 95% of organic waste. This result in dramatic reduction in sludge hauls, and the energy efficiency reduces aeration costs by 75% or more.
