Containment piping
Asahi/America has introduced the Poly-Flo® Unitary Double Containment Piping System for Chloramination. Poly-Flo's polypropylene construction is ideally suited for the transport of aqueous ammonia used in new water treatment disinfection processes. The double contained piping system is compact and as easy to install as a single wall pipe system due to its unitary construction design.

On-site disinfection
MIOX on-site generators for potable and wastewater disinfection provide a safer working environment by eliminating hazardous materials. The company offers both on-site hypochlorite and mixed-oxidant generators. Over 1,200 of its systems have been installed worldwide, with approximately 25% of these overseas. Mixed oxidants can reduce trihalomethane formation by up to 50%, while leaving a much more durable chlorine residual.

Chemical flowmeter
System 1020FT In-Line Transit-Time Flowmeter is ideally suited for low velocity, small line applications. The non-wetted transducer design, constructed of CPVC or Kynar tube material, allows it to be used on even the most aggressive chemical applications. The meter measures flow rates as low as 1 gph. Almost any liquid can be measured, from water to a diverse range of process liquids and chemicals such as fluoride, polymers, acids, sodium hypochlorite, sodium hydroxide, alum, potassium permanganate, etc.

Chlorine residual analyzer
The RA-1000 is an amperometric-type instrument for analysis and control of chlorine residual in the water and wastewater processes. The unit is capable of measuring free or total residual using inexpensive white vinegar as the buffering agent. Alternatively a CO2 buffering system is available. The analyzer is available with either a gravity or peristaltic pump-fed reagent system.

Chlorine dioxide generators
Eka Chemicals' SVP-Pure® chlorine dioxide generators have been certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 61, Drinking Water System Components, by NSF International. The generator use Purate®, a proprietary blend of sodium chlorate and hydrogen peroxide, to generate chlorine dioxide at rates from 1 to 250+ pounds per hour. The chlorine dioxide is used as a pretreatment to promote iron and manganese removal, to avoid the formation of trihalomethane compounds, and to provide disinfection for drinking water.

Disinfection monitoring
Emerson Process Management offers the Rosemount Analytical series of amperometric sensors and analyzers for the determination of chlorine or ozone. One complete Plumb and Plug system is the Model FCL for determination of free chlorine in fresh water. The FCL does not use sample conditioning systems or reagents to control pH. Instead the analyzer automatically compensates for changes in the pH of the sample. For ozone, model 499AOZ is used to monitor ozone dosage and residuals in the contact chamber.

Electrochlorinator
ChlorMaster® electrochlorinators provide on-site sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) generation for disinfection in potable water facilities, sewage treatment plants and sewage collection systems where NaOCl is used for primary disinfection and to maintain a chlorine residual. Whether for potable water or wastewater disinfection, Pepcon Systems can provide an electrochlorination system to meet specific project objectives. The company has been designing electrochlorinators for more than 30 years.

Dechlorination
Vita-D-Chlor Vitamin-C chemistry immediately removes chlorine and chloramines, provides a nutrient to aquatic life, and quickly bio-degrades when finished. AWWARF study #90863 (Guidance Manual for Disposal of Chlorinated Water) identifies Vitamin-C "as the chemical of choice since it did not cause any water quality impacts in the field tests".

UV disinfection
Infilco Degremont's new Aquaray 3X HO vertical lamp system features 36 low-pressure, super high output Amalgam UV lamps. The system can reduce footprint and increase energy efficiency of existing systems. Each high output lamp yields almost three times the germicidal output of IDI's 40 HO lamp, so fewer lamps can treat the same capacity. Row-by-row lamp flow pacing and dimming are standard features of the new module, providing further energy savings. Pacing maintains the operational dose equal or slightly higher than the design dose to accommodate a wide range of water flow and water transmittance.
