Epoxy mortar
Tnemec developed its new Series 218 MortarClad to keep facilities rock-hard. This high-performance epoxy mortar is an aggregate reinforced material for surfacing, patching and filling voids and bug-holes in concrete substrates. Suitable for new construction and maintenance projects, it works for vertical and horizontal concrete as well as CMU. MortarClad is self-priming, but it also can be primed with the company's Series 201 and 203 epoxy primers. The mortar comes in Plaster Gray, and can be top coated for mild or aggressive exposures.

Water level data logger
Solinst has introduced Reelogger®, a new concept in water level and multi-parameter datalogging for automatically monitoring water in the field. The new system requires only a two-conductor cable and uses a built-in barometric sensor at the surface to eliminate problems with vented cable or desiccants. The system incorporates a manual water level meter that simplifies accurate static water depth determinations and transducer calibrations. The modular system operates up to 8 separate in-line sensors.

Back flow preventer
The Flood-Gate from Jay R. Smith functions as a drainage control valve providing closure protection during emergency storm conditions or when a building is shut down. The valve requires no electronics for automatic operation. Sewerage back flow forces trapped air in the line through the valve port and into an expansion chamber, closing the valve.

Flowmeter
The new FM657 Tigermag EP flowmeter from Sparling features Mag-Command, a menu-driven software program for user interface and meter diagnostic package. The flowmeter's high sampling rate provides a stable flow rate signal even with high solids loading or in difficult-to-measure slurry applications. A nonvolatile EEPROM memory chip retains all user-set options and calibration information, and automatically uploads this data to the electronics. A two-line, back-lit display is standard and the unit comes with two user programmable flow alarms. Available outputs include a 4-20 mA or frequency for rate and a totalizer pulse. Communication options include RS-232, RS-485 or Hart®.

Immersible motor
Cornell Pumps "FCS" is an immersible motor. A cutting edge concept developed to replace the outdated "Dry-Pit Submersibles". Its basic design is a premium efficiency, inverter duty, P-base or C-face, TEFC motor. This allows for frame mounting as well as close coupled. A "Navy"-style conduit box prevents water leakage up to 30 ft. of submergence for a two-week period. Tandem lip seals, a dished end bell and expeller are used to seal the bottom portion of the motors in the event of a flood. Class F or class H insulation protects against excessive internal heat.

Aeration
The patented Mazzei AirJection® System delivers dissolved oxygen economically to any depth for complete water aeration. Applications include odor control, activated sludge treatment, and BOD/COD reduction. The four step recirculating process uses patented Mazzei® Injectors to infuse the pressurized water with oxygen. It then is delivered to the bottom of the basin, under pressure, through Mazzei's patented Multiplier Nozzles that multiply mass transfer. Microbubbles emerge and rise to the surface.
