Cloth media
Aqua-Aerobic's new OptiFiber PES-14® Microfiber pile cloth filtration media is engineered to remove suspended solids, turbidity and fine particles up to 50% better than other filters or microscreens. The cloth media is ideal for fine polishing applications and can reduce total phosphorus to 0.1 mg/L or less. Its ability to maintain high filtrate quality, even during backwashing, provides assurance for meeting even the most stringent effluent requirements.

Valve actuator lock
Smith Flow Control has introduced its ISO-pattern IML intermediate valve actuator lock with universal mounting. The lock uses an operating key to lock the actuator in an open or closed position so the valve cannot turn. No custom brackets are required; any valve or actuator with ISO standard mountings is compatible with the IML lock. Ensuring that the valves are set in their failsafe position enables work to be done safely. The IML intermediate lock is available as a key-operated system from the control room or as a standalone lock-out system. Lock Boxes are available with base tags that match up to each lock-out key for ease of identification.

Sludge reduction
Bio Energizer® from Probiotic Solutions® is a specialized Micro Carbon Complex that is used in municipal and industrial systems to reduce sludge, odor, BOD/COD, FOG and costs in wastewater treatment plants and lagoons. The product bio-chemically oxidizes sludge in wastewater lagoons while remaining on line and continuing to work, and reduces the lagoon sludge blanket without the need for draining, drying, dredging, handling, or hauling. When used in activated sludge plants, it can increase volatile solids destruction and improve decant volume and settleability for greater digester and reactor capacity, giving operators more capacity to waste solids.

Polyurethane coating
Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine Coatings has launched Acrolon Ultra, a high gloss, solvent-based acrylic polyurethane providing long-term UV protection for high profile structures where high durability is required. It provides excellent hiding and film formation at low film thicknesses (2-3 mils DFT), offering a distinct cost advantage during application. It is suitable for use in USDA-inspected facilities and on water storage tanks. At less than 340 g/L VOC, it complies with current Ozone Transport Commission (OTC) limits. Acrolon Ultra is optimized for brush and roll application and can be sprayed using airless or conventional spray equipment. It also provides a rapid return to service; the coating can be dry to the touch in as few as two hours after application.

Rotary lobe pumps
LobePro Rotary Pumps' G-series (General Use) and S-Series (Sludge, Mud, and Slurries) positive displacement rotary lobe pumps are suitable for pumping any WWTP sludge which has hard solids smaller than 1/8". The rotary lobe pumps are typically used to pump sludge to and from thickeners, separators (such as belt presses, centrifuges, and rotary presses), digesters and clarifiers. They handle flows from 8 gpm to 2000 gpm and pressures up to 150 psi. The customer can specify an in-line grinder, filter or knock-out tank should hard solids larger than 1/8" be present.
