Pressure transducer filter
Pressure Systems Inc. has introduced a new vent filter that provides virtually maintenance-free moisture protection for all vented gauge format submersible KPSI transducers. Designed for high humidity environments where water vapor may condense in the vent tube, the Series 810 SuperDry vent filter protects sensitive transducer electronic components from mildew, corrosion, rust and other forms of deterioration, while preventing the formation of a liquid column.

Screenings conditioner
The Spiralift SC Screenings Conditioner adds the benefits of an in-channel auger screening system to an existing mechanical bar screen installation. The unit takes screenings from a bar screen and washes, dewaters, compacts and deposits them for disposal. In operation, the bar screen automatically removes solids from the liquid channel and deposits them by gravity into the SC hopper. The unit employs a heavy-duty Taskmaster® grinder to reduce solids to a small size. They are then washed to remove contaminants and organics, compacted and conveyed from the system by the shaftless screw unit.

Metering pump
Neptune Chemical Pump Co. has introduced the ARPZ Series electronic metering pump, which is designed with an automatic air release valve to be used in sodium hypochlorite service or with other chemicals that off-gas at room temperature. The pump features an acrylic pump head with a Teflon diaphragm, ceramic checks, and EDPM O-rings and seals. The acrylic liquid end is clear to allow viewing of liquid and valve action. The head design minimizes internal space, eliminating areas where gas can accumulate, and all ports slope upward to vent gas through the top of the pump and away from the diaphragm.

Bulk bag unloader
A new Half Frame Bulk Bag Unloader from Flexicon Corporation offers total dust containment at low cost by eliminating upper frame components to lift and/or position the bag, instead relying on the user’s forklift or plant hoist to suspend the bag above the unit during operation. The bag-to-hopper interface consists of a Spout-Lock® clamp ring positioned atop a pneumatically actuated Tele-Tube® telescoping tube, allowing dust-tight connections and unrestricted flow between the bag spout and hopper, as well as automatic tensioning of the bag as it empties to promote flow and evacuation.

Stroke rate controller
Fluid Metering introduces the new V300 Stroke Rate Controller for control of all FMI V-Series Variable Speed Metering Pumps. The V300 is designed for fluid metering in laboratory, R&D, test stands, pilot plants, process, and production applications. Front panel membrane switches offer convenient manual setting of pump stroke rates adjustable in 0.1% increments. Stroke rate can also be controlled electronically through an interface which can accept 4-20mA, 0-5 vDC, and 0-10 vDC input signals typically provided by process sensors and instrumentation.

pH/ORP panel
Hach Company has introduced the new 8362 sc High Purity Water pH/ORP Panel with a distinctive electrolyte delivery system that improves online measurement accuracy, compared to that of traditional electrodes. The panel uses a self pressurizing reference electrode to introduce a constant flow of electrolyte into the sample stream. This continuous delivery reduces electrolyte pulsations - common with other pH/ORP systems − that result in reference junction potential phase shifts and undermine measurement integrity.

Water reuse
A team of HDR water reuse experts has written a new book for the American Public Works Association. “Good Until The Last Drop: A Practitioner’s Guide to Water Reuse” was launched at the APWA Congress in mid-September in Minneapolis. The book offers a practical guide to all facets of water reuse. It includes legal and public involvement considerations as well as guidelines on selecting the right infrastructure, maintaining water quality, examining how the organization should be set up, finding the right financing sources, setting fair and equitable rates, and choosing the right delivery method, such as design-build for fast-track projects.

Flow meter
MGD Technologies has introduced its accQmin Flow Meter for smaller pipes. The meter uses pulse-doppler acoustics, combined with range-gating signal processing, to measure a velocity profile. This approach allows the meter to measure flow rate accurately under different hydraulic conditions. As hydraulic conditions change, the change manifests itself in the distribution of velocity throughout the depth of flow. As the meter is measuring the velocity distribution directly, it adapts to the changes in hydraulics, and generates a flow pattern that is representative of the new hydraulic conditions.
