Water monitoring
The new Event Monitor Trigger System from Hach applies industry-unique software to ‘learn’ the combinations of water quality sensor measurements related to distribution network events. It builds an inherent library of monitoring patterns for real-time recognition when they recur. This continuous intelligent surveillance helps utilities react quickly to water network changes.

Knife gate valve
The new 14"-24" Fabri-Valve XS150 knife gate valves, available from ITT Industries’ Engineered Process Solutions Group, are designed using the same platform that has made the 2"-12" XS150 sizes successful. The knife gate design eliminates the leakage paths at the transition point between the perimeter seal and the chest seal, a problem that is common to other high performance knife gate valve designs. The new gates feature a one-piece perimeter seal that provides bi-directional bubble tight shutoff. The seal is double-locked in the valve body, a design innovation that keeps the perimeter seal secure within its groove. The valves are suited for use in harsh operating conditions.

Zebra mussel coating
Cook Legacy Coating offers the Jacquelyn coating system designed to stop zebra mussels from attaching to surfaces. Five years ago the company installed a screen coated with the product in zebra mussel-infested water at Vergennes-Panton Water District in Vermont. According to the site operators, zebra mussels have not attached to the screen. In addition to the long term study of the coating on a passive screen, the company has tested the coating with the US Government, the Copper Development Association, several utility companies, and an independent environmental laboratory.
