Each cycle of the SBR consists of a series of phases: Mixed Fill, React Fill, React, Settle and Decant. All components can be designed to be retrievable and accessible from the side of the basin.Aqua-Aerobic Systems, Inc.Rockford, ILTel: 815-654-2501Web: www.aqua-aerobic.com

The mixers are ideal for admixing water/wastewater treatment chemicals, polymer dilution, and other low-viscosity applications. Mixing elements consist of a series of polypropylene baffles and are mounted in a PVC housing with FNPT ends. PVC and clear PVC housings are available. Other mixers in the FMX family offer efficient mixing for a variety of fluid applications, viscosities, pressure drops and flow rates.OMEGA Engineering Inc.Stamford, CTTel: 800-848-4286Web: www.omega.com

The velocity sensor detects liquid speed via a proprietary enhanced phase-coherence processing sensor. An integrated level transmitter signal combined with channel or pipe cross sectional area, allows the meter also to be used on systems that do not meet the standard Parshall or Venturi type power laws for accurate flow rate measurement.TTI, Inc.Williston, VTTel: 800-235-8367Web: www.ttiglobal.com

The system uses submerged high frequency ballasts (capable of variable output) to provide effective cooling by configuration thereby reducing the overall size of the system and increasing its reliability. Using low pressure high intensity lamp technology for energy savings, the system includes an advanced communications system. It also features the Scrapper™ automatic cleaning system, which eliminates the need for manual cleaning.Suntec EnvironmentalConcord, OntarioTel: 905-669-4450Web: www.suntecuv.comFlow/pump softwareEngineered Software has released Pipe-Flo® Professional v.7. This integrated suite of software offers enhanced features and functionality to enable engineers to design, analyze and troubleshoot fluid piping systems. It solves more complex challenges with a faster calculation engine, streamlined design specification windows, unlimited fluid data properties, and a greater graphical representation of the Flo-Sheet. Users can calculate fluid properties using the DOPPR, Polynomial or Yaws formulas. The new version simplifies design and selection of pumps and valves using the anticipated Sizing & Selection Wizards. The new Flo-Links™ enables external links to be created from the Flo-Sheet to any Web site or Windows application.Engineered SoftwareLacey, WATel: 360-412-0702Web: www.eng-software.com

Designed for use by both processors and OEMs, the unit combines process indicator functions and chart recording for basic applications. The unit features a five-digit LED display showing process value and alarm status, while the combined 100 mm strip-chart recorder provides continuous-line recording with the pen permanently on the chart. It is available in one- or two-pen versions with display toggling between both inputs and the two-pen unit. The recorder features universal inputs that can be applied to local monitoring and alarms for measuring level, flow, pH, and effluent discharge.ABB InstrumentationWarminster, PATel: 215-674-6580

The combination ensures leak-free integrity and accurate measurement of oxygen content from percent levels to less than 0.1 ppm. The sensor delivers a response speed of less than one second for a 90% step change in oxygen concentration. This makes the sensor ideal as a fast alarm for instantaneous notification. The only maintenance necessary is periodic single-point calibration with a calibration gas.Panametrics, Inc.Waltham, MATel: 781-899-2746Web: www.panametrics.comNo-lead hardwareResponding to utility concerns over hardware influences on water quality, ABB Water Meters has expanded its no-lead EnviroBrass® product offerings through its full range of utility meters. Water utilities now have the option of ordering 5/8 in. to 2 in. C700 positive displacement meters, 1 1/2 in. to 8 in. T3000 turbine meters and 2 in. to 8 in. C3000 compound meters with main cases manufactured of either traditional waterworks bronze or lead-free EnviroBrass® that is NSF-61 certified and complies with California Proposition 65.ABB Water Meters, Inc.Ocala, FLTel: 800-874-0890Web: www.abb.com/metering
