SBR technologyThe ICEAS® process, where aeration, settling and decanting is performed in a single basin, represents a significant improvement over conventional stop and go flow sequencing batch reactor (SBR) systems. Sanitaire supplies the ABJ™ ICEAS process which combines continuous inflow with intermittent decant. This allows for minimum basin size and eliminates the need for multiple basins.Sanitaire Corp.Brown Deer, WITel: 414-365-2200

Flow controlThe Series 5400 Control Pinch Valve from Red Valve is ideal for controlling influent to a municipal wastewater treatment plant. The full-port opening allows raw sewage and debris such as twigs, rags and plastic bottles to pass without clogging. The elastomer sleeve handles raw sewage, resists abrasion and eliminates dead spaces where debris can build up and foul valve operation. Centerline closure maintains a smooth, venturi flow when throttled.Red Valve Co.Carnegie, PATel: 412-279-0044Web: www.redvalve.com

Aeration systemMTS/Mass Transfer Systems designs and manufactures the MTS jet aeration product for municipal water and wastewater treatment. The technology uses two phase jet nozzles to supply atmospheric oxygen to recirculated liquid in a proprietary mixing system. Recirculated liquid is pumped through the inner, primary nozzle creating a high velocity liquid stream while air is fed into the secondary outer nozzle. The high velocity liquid stream shears the air into a turbulent, fine dispersion of gas and liquid.Mass Transfer SystemsFall River, MATel: 508-679-6770Web: www.mtsjets.com
