Coating systems

Sauereisen recently introduced the latest variation of its SewerGard family. SewerGard Glaze No. 210G is a polymer coating that complements the rest of a line that originated in the 1980s. It provides longevity where either a topcoat or economical, stand-alone lining is required to protect wastewater infrastructure. The glaze is composed of 100% solids epoxy and shares the same chemical resistance as the company’s proven No. 210. When used as a topcoat, the glaze adds an extra layer of protection against microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC). Some specifications include it as a glossy topping to other filled systems by Sauereisen. For less extreme applications, the glaze works well on its own.

Calgon Carbon’s Centaur®HSV is a vapor phase virgin granular activated carbon that has been developed specifically for odor removal from sewage treatment operations. This agglomerated bituminous coal-based product has a high adsorption capacity for H2S - without chemical impregnants - and adsorbs volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in an effective manner. The product, by its catalytic functionality, oxidizes H2S and converts it to water soluble sulfur compounds.

Vortex separator

The Grit King energy-free vortex separator from Hydro International operates on the principle of dynamic separation. Flow is introduced tangentially, generating rotary flow. Flow spirals around and down the perimeter, then inward and upward in a continuing spiraling motion. A single centrally located discharge at the top of the vessel forces fluid to follow a long path before it is released, providing sufficient time for even finer grit to settle.

Low-flow chemical feed

Hydro Instruments’ V-RAD is a new invention designed to meter low feed rates of liquid chemicals (such as sodium hypochlorite) accurately and reliably. It was designed in 2005 and brought into full production in early 2006. Specifically, the V-RAD was invented for the application of feed rate control of liquid chemical solutions being injected into a water stream using a venturi nozzle. The chemical is fed under vacuum, which eliminates all pressurized chemical lines. It is fed through a fixed-diameter orifice in shortly spaced intermittent pulses (allowing a larger orifice to be used).
