Cadmium sensor
ANDalyze bolsters its DNA-based sensor/fluorimeter platform solution for simplifying the on-site testing and analysis of water for heavy metal contamination with the addition of a cadmium (Cd) sensor. This expands its capabilities which already include sensors for lead, copper, mercury, uranium, and zinc. The product, which requires no special knowledge of chemistry to use effectively and produces no hazardous chemical waste, is used in a variety of water quality applications, such as the testing of mining runoff water, groundwater, surface water, industrial wastewaters and sea water. The ANDalyze solution consists of consumable sensors in combination with the ANDalyze Fluorimeter (which can interpret both existing sensors and all future sensors).

Sludge blanket detector
Markland Detectors use high-intensity infrared light to monitor and automate control of blanket interface levels in clarifiers and settlement tanks (including lamellas and decanting tanks) when treating incoming process water and wastewater. They allow users to program de-sludge pumps to operate only when necessary, preventing overflows, optimizing feed density for filter presses/digesters/centrifuges, and improving outflow for reuse. These detectors can adjust DAF surface skimmer speeds to match floating sludge layers, control SBR decant valves for minimized cycle times, and are used to measure resin beds in intake water softeners, settled fly ash from scrubbers, and settled mud levels.

Portable infrared analyzers, such as the InfraCal Analyzers from Wilks, have been used worldwide for measuring off-shore oil in produced water for over 30 years. They have the advantage over other analytical instruments in that the measurement can be performed by non-technical users, and it is relatively unaffected by composition changes in the effluent. They also provide off-shore users with the necessary ruggedness and reliability that is a key requirement. In addition to their use for measuring oil content in produced water on oil drilling platforms, portable IR analyzers are ideal for both on- and off-shore oil measurements in drill cuttings.

Acidic neutralization
Blue Earth Labs announced pHaze™, its non-hazardous formulation for neutralizing acidic runoff generated during chemical water treatment with the company's line of Floran® and neXt™ surface cleaning and filter rehabilitation products. A solid, pH-buffered, odorless neutralizer, pHaze is NSF-60 certified for use in drinking water systems. As a single component formula, it is applied to any acidic runoff, neutralizing immediately on contact to adjust the pH level of the waste stream for safe and proper disposal. Treatment with pHaze is a non-hazardous way to ensure pH value reaches an acceptable level that adheres to EPA regulations for wastewater runoff. Because it is buffered to a maximum pH of 10, pHaze does not require constant monitoring as with typical neutralizers.
