The Trident® HS package water treatment plant provides multi-barrier protection for difficult-to-treat surface water, groundwater, industrial process water, and tertiary wastewater.
Treatment plant
The Trident® HS package water treatment plant provides multi-barrier protection for difficult-to-treat surface water, groundwater, industrial process water, and tertiary wastewater. The Trident® HS system design consists of packaged high-rate settling, adsorption clarification, mixed media filtration, and optional UV disinfection. These innovations allow the Trident® HS to handle very high raw water turbidity and solids loading and achieve TOC reductions of up to 70% or more.

Antiscalant, biocide
BWA's Bellasol® oilfield antiscalants include the Bellacide 355 and Bellasol S65. The 355 is a safe, powerful, fast acting, long-lasting biocide for hydraulic fracturing, produced fluids, pipeline, and downhole and topside applications. It kills sulfate-reducing and acid-producing bacteria, controls biofilm, and prevents souring. The S65 is a biodegradable antiscalant that outperforms traditional phosphonates and polyaspartate for calcium carbonate and barium sulfate scale inhibition.

Data transmission
RACO announced that AlarmAgent.com now features real-time reporting, allowing users to access the status of all channels in real time. A highlight of the website's reporting is the one-of-a-kind RTU health report. This reporting indicates how long the system has been armed in days, hours and minutes. Signal strength, power and battery status are key indicators of an RTU system's health and local conditions. Users receive the information in one comprehensive, over-the-air report.

Spectrophotometer
The DR1900 portable spectrophotometer from Hach is built for rugged conditions, and it is flexible, accepting the widest range of vial sizes. Built with field use in mind, the DR1900 has a large, clear screen and a simple user interface that makes testing easy in even the most demanding conditions. Easy to hold and operate, the compact DR1900 is a valuable tool for field technicians. Tests are performed with a wavelength range of 340 to 800 nm, making this a field instrument used to find results typically only seen in laboratory instruments.

Electric motors
Baldor announced a new line of electric motors: Super-E motors with Baldor Shaft Grounding Brush. Available stock ratings include 1 to 50 HP in Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled (TEFC) or Open Drip Proof (ODP) Foot Mounted designs along with 1/2 to 5 HP in TEFC, C-Face Foot Mounted designs. The motor is designed with a carbon brush mounted internally to divert shaft currents away from motor bearings, thus increasing the life of the bearings. The internally-mounted Baldor Shaft Grounding Brush can prevent voltage spikes from damaging the bearings.

Flowmeters
Universal Flow Monitors announced Battery-Powered CoolPoint™ Vortex Shedding flowmeters for water, chemicals and corrosives in seven sizes. Units are self-contained with a 6.5 digit LCD read-out. The display provides user-selectable total or rate as well as gallons, liters or cubic meter engineering units. CoolPoint™ Vortex Shedding Flowmeters use a bluff body obstruction to produce vortices, and an electronic transducer measures these oscillations to provide a signal proportional to flow rate. Increasing flow increases the frequency of oscillation.
Medium- and low voltage equipment specifiers can adopt digital twin technology to adopt a circular economy approach for sustainable, low-carbon equipment design.
Medium- and low voltage equipment manufacturers can prepare for environmental regulations now by using innovative MV switchgear design that eliminates SF6 use.
Using digital tools and apps for nearby monitoring and control increases safety and reduces arc flash hazards since electrical equipment can be operated from a safer distance....
