Natural odor neutralizer
Ecosorb® Natural Organic Odor Neutralizer removes a wide spectrum of odors from the air without using fragrances or harsh chemicals. Instead, it uses patent pending technology to eliminate unwanted odors by neutralizing them, rather than simply masking them. The product is typically diluted with water and sprayed into odorous areas in an atomized mist.

Valve and curb keys
Reed's valve & curb keys telescope down and fit well inside today's smaller utility trucks, behind pickup seats, or in car trunks. The VKA45 is an adjustable valve key for mains with the curb key at a 45-degree angle. This angle provides a visual indication of the valve's open or closed status. The handle will line up with the pipe with the valve in the open position. The handle crosses (appears perpendicular to) the pipe with the valve in the closed position.

Toxic gas shutoff system
The Hexacon™ Model II control system quickly closes up to six EclipseTM actuators on toxic gas cylinder and ton container valves when activated by panic buttons or remote gas sensors. The newly designed Model II computer system applies 30 foot-pounds of torque for test closures and 50 foot-pounds of torque for emergency closures of the cylinder valve. All fire codes recognize and approve the "automatic-closing fail-safe shutoff valve" system in lieu of a scrubber treatment system. With this model, operators can be provided with status codes to quickly analyze any problems with the system to take appropriate corrective action.

Aeration systems
The patented Mazzei AirJection® System delivers dissolved oxygen economically to any depth in water bodies needing complete aeration. The system is SOTR tested and certified and Alpha values have been independently tested to 1.0. It produces predictable, thorough aeration without the use of blowers and diffusers. Key applications are for odor control, activated sludge treatment, and BOD/COD reduction. The four step recirculating process uses patented, Mazzei® Injectors to dynamically infuse the affected pressurized water with oxygen.

Eat away trace oils
Abanaki Corp. extends its line of oil removal skimmers and filtering machinery with the new PetroPuck™. As the tablet dissolves, an innovative biotechnology process attacks the fluid and consumes residual oils in solution left in tanks after skimming. A single puck treats 1,000 gallons of fluid, often bringing oil levels down to those acceptable for discharge. Simply add one puck with a teaspoon of nutrient at the beginning of each month to tanks with a constant flow.
