High purity water

Siemens Water Technologies has introduced two new high purity water treatment product lines for laboratory and clinical applications. Its Centra High Flow (HFR) Packaged Central laboratory water systems are designed for customers who require an off-the-shelf, simple-to-use system that can supply 38 lpm of pure water to a distribution loop or multiple points of use. The Medica Pro range of compact, cost-effective water purifiers specifically designed to feed clinical analyzers cover a range of configurations, from small non-pressurized feeds to large loop or central in-house supplies, and to deliver up to 4 lpm of CLSI (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute) type 1 water to single or multiple analyzers.

Corrosion control

Alco Chemical has published a new brochure featuring an advanced new development in corrosion control in industrial water treatment systems: “METAFLEXTM EP Corrosion Inhibitor.” Designed to form durable films, the product offers improved film stability compared to Azole and eliminates the need for a continuous residual inhibitor. Moreover, as documented in an accompanying chart of its lifespan on admiralty brass, three slug dosages protected the metal for 90 days.

Wastewater aeration

Wastewater treatment plant engineers looking for a more convenient, time-saving, lower cost way to communicate with aeration and compressed air flow meters will find the new ST50 Flow Meter from FCI ideal for line sizes from 2”-24”. A brochure is available at the company website. The unit is available with wireless IR communication technology built-in and a standard, low cost PDA that allows field technicians to obtain measurements, make setting changes and read troubleshooting codes without having to open the instrument. This industry unique feature is helpful in applications for flow meters installed in hard-to-reach locations or where opening the instrument is inconvenient or labor intensive.
