Root control
RootX is a foaming pipeline root control product designed to kill roots in municipal and residential pipelines. The product foams on contact with water so it can be applied directly from the package, or with standard pipeline maintenance equipment. It is designed to be a safe, simple, and effective solution for pipeline root intrusion.

Monitoring alarm
Zetron's Model 1570 SentriData is an alarm device that scans the data stream of monitoring equipment, such as flow or level measurement equipment at remote wells or pumps, and searches for specific messages. With the intelligence to follow established procedures when a particular event occurs, the device notifies a priority list of contacts and forwards a pre-recorded text message or page customized for that alarm. The monitor also reports if there is an unusual period of inactivity.

Automation system
The Milltronics InterRanger DPS 300 ultrasonic sludge level measurement system helps automate wastewater clarification systems. It monitors the interface level between light liquids and semi-solid sludge in the base of clarifier tanks. The unit activates the sludge pump when sludge build-up reaches pre-set limits. The ultrasonic sensor features non-contacting, chemically resistant transducers and electronics. Its transducer continuously emits sonic pulses that are reflected from solids in the water. The company's Sonic Intelligence software filters out signal clutter.

Fiberglass liner system
The GU Fiberglass Liner/Pipe Riser System protects the entire concrete structure from hydrogen sulfide corrosion and abrasion. The company's Base Liner and Cone/Flat Top Liner are cast into precast concrete lift station and manhole sections. Corresponding diameter riser sections of solid wall plastic/polymer pipe sections are inserted into watertight gasketed bell joints. This combines the technology of FRP lined sections and sanitary sewer plastic pipe to meet engineering objectives. The GU Pipe Riser gasketed joint connection eliminates field welded liner horizontal joints.

Cake pump system
Moyno is exhibiting its new Moyno® Cake Pump System, an alternative to piston pumps. It features an integral hopper with a twin-screw auger feeder and a specially designed pump that handles semi-dry, high solids content, dewatered sludge. The new pump uses Moyno's field-proven, rugged drive train and crown gear-type universal joint. The continuous, non-pulsating flow minimizes pressure spikes in the pipeline, which can be three times the nominal line loss.

Biological treatment
Biostyr® is the latest advance in a category of biological treatment processes called Biological Aerated Filters (BAFs). The unique design feature of Biostyr is that it uses a floating media. BAFs combine fixed film biological treatment and media filtration to eliminate the need for final clarifiers. This along with the very high surface area density (>300 ft2/ft3) makes BAFs the smallest footprint biological process available. The filters' modularity allows for expansion by adding more cells, and it uses common equipment. It is fully automated with a PLC, or a SCADA system. Laboratory support means minimal need for the process support of activated sludge. The system is low odor when using an up-flow BAF such as Biostyr. Because enclosing the treatment plant is easy, it offers improved aesthetics.

UV disinfection system
Suntec Environmental's LPX200 offers ultraviolet disinfection for the wastewater market. Its ballast is completely submerged. No additional cooling systems, cabinets or buildings are required to support operation of the ballasts. With high efficiency and low harmonics, these modular ballasts optimize system performance. Automatic cleaning lowers maintenance costs. The lamp technology is intended to disinfect more wastewater than traditional low-pressure, high-output lamp designs. Space requirements are reduced and lower quality water can be treated.

Stormwater filtration
The Mycelx Stormwater Filtration System was developed for installation in parking lot drainage basins. Filled with Perlite and Viscochips, the unit prevents hydrocarbon runoff and oil and gasoline sheen. It works in conjunction with a gutter system that catches the "first flush" of rain water, which contains the highest concentrations of hydrocarbon pollutants. The resulting effluent is clear of sheen, oil, gasoline, diesel fuel, etc.
