Folding blade mixers
Sharpe Mixers Folding Blade HYFLO 218 Impellers feature a hydrofoil-style, 4-blade design that folds for easy installation and opens with centrifugal force; locking in place when fully opened. Eliminating the need for personnel to enter the tank, these folding impellers are designed for new and retrofit installations that do not allow for impeller assembly inside of a tank. Available in sizes up to 210" dia., the impellers permit greater flexibility in tank designs and the blade locking mechanism can be accessed from outside the tank for removing the mixer, if necessary. Retrofit applications include side entry for large storage tanks or top entry when the tank service has changed and a new mixer is required.

Bioremediator
EcoSolutions' OilClean combines biological and patented technologies to naturally restore oil-polluted ecosystems. The bioremediation technology uses natural microorganisms to consume and completely degrade oil and its toxic byproducts from soil and water. It is eco-safe, non-toxic, chemical-free, and there are no waste byproducts — the oil is not only separated, it is eliminated. Developed in conjunction with Pro-Act Biotech, this non-invasive treatment system can be used to decontaminate polluted marshes and wetlands, dangerous sub-surface oil deposits in beaches, and to clean polluted clean-up waste such as oil-soaked booms, rags, fabrics, and plastics.

Ball valve
The Camseal zero leakage, metal seated, forged ball valve from Conval features a cartridge-style, top entry design that simplifies maintenance and replacement of the cartridge internals, with no effect on existing piping and welds. The Camseal body/bonnet joint is not subject to pipeline stresses. There is no in-line body bolting to loosen or fatigue, so the body remains leak-free. All valves are capable of meeting zero bubbles for four minutes at 50 psi and 1,000 psi nitrogen.

Corrosion inhibitor
CorrBlock™ from Cortec® is an eco friendly multi-phase corrosion protection alternative to traditional inhibitors for cooling and wastewater systems. It is formulated using Cortec's patented Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VpCI®) technology and renewable soybean-based wax as a solid carrier, providing a controlled time release of corrosion inhibitors in an easy to handle form. When immersed in water, the product slowly dissolves and releases a calculated amount of VpCI® providing precisely measured corrosion protection that forms a strong monomolecular layer on metal surfaces that protect in all three phases—liquid, vapor, and the vapor-liquid interface. The inhibitors provide multi-metal protection, including ferrous metals, galvanized steel, aluminum, and yellow metals.

Aeration system
The Fuchs Centrox-Aerator consists of a vertically mounted TEFC-motor with drip cover, base plate, drive shaft, suction pipe with gas intake, diffuser and an impeller with curved blades. The rotating impeller draws the liquid from underneath and the gas through the suction pipe from above. It swirls gas and liquid and centrifuges the mixture along the diffuser outwards. The aeration takes place with fine bubbles and high carbon dioxide utilization. Thus problems with sprayed water, cooling-off during wintertime and odors are avoided. The design of the aerator is simple and sturdy without bearings and seals in the immersed part.

Water quality monitoring
Intellitect Water has launched a new version of its in-pipe water quality monitor, the Intellisonde. The IV2 provides two major advances: firstly, calibration is now embedded in every individual sonde at the time of manufacture, which substantially reduces the time and resources required for field calibration during installation. Secondly, a new advanced chlorine sensor has been developed for greater accuracy and faster response times. The embedded calibration is multi-point to ensure high levels of accuracy, and can be quickly and easily checked in the field. The sondes are able to transmit data via GPRS to a web server that publishes data to a password-protected website.
