Flow verification system
The MICRO-FLO Flow Verification System is designed to be used with your metering pump to provide accurate flow measurement and accumulated flow data. Empty chemical tanks, clogged injection fittings, lost prime, and other problems can prevent a properly working pump from injecting chemical. MICRO-FLO can be connected directly to Blue-White A-100NV and C-1100V metering pumps. It may be installed directly into the pump’s discharge tubing, inline in the system after the pump, or mounted to a panel.

No-contact coupling
Ford Meter Box’s No-Contact Lead-Pak Coupling (patent pending) is designed for connecting existing lead plumbing lines to other service line materials. The coupling prevents direct contact of the lead plumbing line with other metallic water system components. This design mitigates the possibility of galvanic corrosion.

Fall protection
The new 3M™ DBI-SALA® Comfort Grip Connector from 3M™ Fall Protection improves connecting and disconnecting while providing flexibility to anchor efficiently and comfortably in multiple orientations. Designed and certified to arrest a fall when loaded in multiple orientations, the Comfort Grip Connector features 5,000-pound tensile strength as well as up to 3,600 pounds in transverse and gate strengths. When connected to a vertical or transverse application, such as a pipe, the hand-guard pin shears in the event of a fall to allow the connector to align with the direction of the fall and remain securely anchored.

Sensing, measurement tool
Texas Instruments’ new MSP430FR6047 MCU family lets developers add more intelligence to flow meters by taking advantage of a complete waveform capture feature and analog-to-digital converter (ADC)-based signal processing. This technique enables more accurate measurement than competitive devices, with precision of 25 picoseconds or better, even at flow rates less than 1 liter per hour. In addition, the integrated devices reduce water meter system component count by 50% and power consumption by 25%, enabling a meter to operate without having to charge the battery for 10+ years.

Super-fine screen
The OR-TEC Blue Whale Micro Bar Screen effectively screens to 2.0 mm to remove approximately three times the volume of rags, wipes, hair and other stringy material in wastewater, thereby eliminating downstream matting. It is self-cleaning, requires zero wash water or brushes and is guaranteed not to blind. The Micro Bar Screen uses a parallel array of wedge-sectioned bars (not wedge-wire) with even spaces to form the screen face. Wedge-sectioned screen bars have only 2 contact points on which material can block, as the path from the screen face to the back of the screen is gradually enlarged.

Granular activated carbon
Cabot Corporation’s HYDRODARCO® 4000 and NORIT® GAC 400 are granular activated carbons (GAC) for the removal of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAs) including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in public water systems. Unlike other types of activated carbon, HYDRODARCO 4000 and NORIT GAC 400 activated carbons have optimized pore size distributions that provide a large quantity of adsorption sites for PFOA and PFOS removal. These products resist interference from natural organic matter that can cause partial or complete blockage of the activated carbon pore structure, leading to reduced adsorptive capacity for target contaminants including PFOA and PFOS.

Pressure management valve with backup
The Singer 106/206 PGM-2PR-630-SM Pressure Management Valve with Integral Backup hydraulically manages pressure around the clock to reduce water loss, save money and prevent unwanted pressure spikes that contribute to premature pipe failure. Built on the Singer 106-PGM or 206-PGM main valve, a simple field retrofit is possible using the paddle style orifice plate. The valve switches between high- and low-pressure pilots based on flow rate. The pressure-reducing pilots independently adjust to suit the optimal downstream pressure. Available in sizes 4”-12” (DN100-DN300) with a minimum pressure at the valve inlet of 29 PSI (200 kPa/2 barg).
