Alfa Laval The Aldrum drum thickener (photo) provides very gentle sludge handling and recovery. The unit is a range of mechanical sludge thickeners and works on the principle of conveying polyelectrolyte-treated sludge through a slowly rotating drum filter. The sludge…
The modular design of the Septron Line 100-300 (photo) permits the system components to be assembled to meet individual requirements. The units for electrodeionization and reverse osmosis can be combined and positioned individually. Two versions are available. The VAL version…
Caldon Carbon The C3500 D (photo) utilizes 500-W ultraviolet (UV) lamps in a small footprint to provide overall efficiency and economic savings compared to other low-pressure, high-output (LPHO) systems, says the manufacturer. The high-wattage system relies on a patent-pending design,…
The TSS Portable hand-held meter (photo) offers turbidity, suspended solids and sludge-blanket level measurement in one instrument. The TSS is ideal for remote monitoring of rivers and applications involving municipal and industrial wastewater, and drinking water. Additionally, this instrument can…
The Puron Plus membrane bioreactor (MBR) system is a skid-mounted packaged plant that provides customers with a full scope of supply from prescreening and biological treatment through to the final membrane clarification step. The Puron Plus is designed for both…
The Optisound VU3X Series Continuous Ultrasonic Level transmitter (photo) provides a reliable, repeatable and highly accurate (0.15%) continuous level measurement of liquids. It is capable of liquid level measurement to ranges up to 30 ft. with a 2-wire 4 –…
Last month, this firm launched a new generation of gel-type, cation-exchange resins for industrial water treatment. Lewatit MonoPlus S 108 and S 108 H have optimized leaching behavior, which is an important quality characteristic regarding the effectiveness and commercial efficiency…
Water-supply issues are emerging as a national concern with certain sectors coming under increasing scrutiny. This is certainly the case with the ethanol industry. State discharge regulations dictate that plant designs incorporate technological solutions to minimize water use. These designs…
A research team from the University of South Australia (Adelaide; www.unisa.edu.au) and the East China Normal University (Shanghai; www.ecnu.edu.cn) has developed a capacitive deionization technology (CDI) that uses graphene-like nanoflakes as electrodes, instead of conventionally used activated carbon (AC) materials.…
