Level, volume monitoring

Magnetrol Environmental's Model R82 is a loop-powered, 26 GHz through-air radar transmitter that is ideal for the many level and volume measurement applications found at water and wastewater facilities. The monitor is virtually unaffected by foam, turbulence, mist, fog, insects, or condensation. It can be configured with either the menu-driven 4-pushbutton, 2-line by 16-character display, HART® digital communications, or PACTware™. This allows complete configuration via the local user interface, or remotely with the added capability of capturing echo waveforms, and viewing trend data, diagnostic conditions and all transmitter configuration parameters.

Compressible media filter

The Schreiber Fuzzy Filter is a modular, compressible media filtration system suitable for water and wastewater treatment. Operating in an upflow design, the filter achieves high rate solids removal through the use of synthetic fiber spheres. With loading rates of 20 to 30+ gpm/ft2, the filter requires 20% of the space for sand filters. Applications include municipal wastewater, reuse, CSO, membrane reject and raw river water. The system uses air scouring in the wash cycle to clean the media. During the wash cycle, influent continues to enter the filter (filtered water is not necessary for washing) while an external blower supplies air in the bottom of the chamber to agitate the media.

Denitrification system

At this year's WEFTEC show, ITT will introduce its new Leopold® elimi-NITE® 2.0 Denitrification System, designed to reduce nutrients in the effluent stream of a wastewater treatment plant. The new system builds on the original elimi-NITE System, a deep bed, biologically active, mono-media sand filter used to remove nitrate. The nutrient removal is accomplished by converting nitrate nitrogen to nitrogen gas which accumulates in the silica sand media. A gas release cycle is used to purge the gas.
