Chemical injection
Primary Fluid Systems’ Injection Quills have been developed to allow chemical injection into the center stream of the process flow. This ensures the dispersion of chemical in a more uniform manner, providing for a more homogenous mix in the pipeline. The quills are available in six materials of construction and standard sizes of 6" or 8".

Pocket testers
Eutech Instruments has launched a new series of multi-parameter pocket testers, the Testr® 35 Series. Designed for quick water analysis on-the-go, the testers feature a unique combination sensor which allows faster ATC response, and therefore, faster measurements – all without the hassle of changing sensors in between measuring different parameters. The series is available in three different models: PCSTestr® 35 which measures pH, Conductivity, Salinity, TDS and Temperature; PCTestr® 35 which measures pH, Conductivity and Temperature; and PTTestr® 35 which measures pH, TDS and Temperature.

Point level measurement
Hawk has launched the Gladiator Smart Admittance Switch, a probe which is immune to build-up. The switch is designed to detect the level of liquid, slurry or powder in a tank or vessel. The unit measures the capacitance or “admittance” between a probe and the wall of the container. As the level of the product rises to the level of the probe, or drops below that level, the capacitance measured at the probe changes.

Metering pumps
Grundfos DME metering pumps are certified to meet standards of ANSI / NSF 61 Drinking Water System Components. The pumps combine precision with a digital user interface that allows users to set the dosing feed rate directly on the pump, without complicated calculations beforehand. This saves time and helps to eliminate additive waste. A variable speed stepper motor allows nearly continuous chemical delivery throughout its entire adjustable range, with a 1000:1 turndown, without changing stroke length or frequency.

Oil recovery system
The Model 6V oil recovery system from Oil Skimmers Inc. features a specially formulated collector tube that skims oil from the water surface. The oil adheres to the outside of the closed-loop tube, which is slowly drawn across the surface of the water and into the oil skimmer. The tube is drawn into the oil skimmer and through scrapers that remove the oil.
