100 toilets in Brisbane CBD
20 November, 2008While we laugh at the adventures of Kenny’s World exploring toilets, there are 2.6 billion people, or 40% of the global population, who don’t have any access to safe sanitation. The deaths of 75,000 children could be prevented this year in South-East Asia and the Pacific with access to basic sanitation.
Wastewater analyser
22 September, 2008Endress+Hauser has launched an inline analyser for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants. The STIP-scan device reduces costly sampling and maintenance procedures by operating directly in the process.
NSW industrial gear-unit service facility expanded
19 September, 2008In support of Australia's demanding water/wastewater sector, drives solutions group SEW-Eurodrive has expanded its NSW industrial gear-unit service facility.
Self-primer pump
22 May, 2008The Weir Self-Primer (WSP) is a rugged, dependable self-priming end suction centrifugal pump. The pump is suitable for a range of solids-handling jobs where a self-priming application is required. It is available in a 3, 4, 6, 8 or 10" suction/discharge.
Metering pump with automatic vent
22 May, 2008Gas-emitting media in metering applications can often reduce pump output or even prevent the pumped medium from being delivered. To avoid this situation, the pumps generally need to be bled manually in such applications. This procedure can be performed simply, conveniently and safely by the delta diaphragm metering pump with the new venting module.
Backflow prevention device
23 January, 2008The Watts Water Technologies range of backflow prevention devices stops the reverse flow of contaminated water in piping systems from entering the potable water supply.
Radical approach benefits slime control technology
22 November, 2007Two Australian research centres are joining their forces in a radical approach to biofilm control.
Membrane filtration for wastewater
22 October, 2007Sumitomo has released a range of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) membranes designed for water microfiltration and sewage treatment. The MBR (membrane bioreactor) module is suitable for water purification applications such as recycling water for farming and gardening, recycled drinking water, sewage wastewater treatment and recycled industrial water.
Electric actuator for quarter turn valves
20 October, 2006The Biffi F02 is a compact, intelligent, electric actuator which incorporates all the advanced variables needed to provide effective control in large and complex plants.
3D modelling tool for wastewater plant
22 September, 2006Optioneer is a 3D modelling software tool that allows users to 'virtually' design, configure and automatically cost multiple options for a water or wastewater treatment plant at the concept design phase. It can produce process flow diagrams (PFDs) on screen using template icons for more than 100 pieces of plant and equipment. Smart data associated with the PFD icons automatically convey dimensions and shape to the 3D images, and each piece of equipment can be 'dragged' and located into the 3D environment. The process of cutting 3D shapes and sizes into the 3D topography is automatic, as is the calculation of cut and fill volumes for preliminary construction and final trim earthworks surfaces.
Global restructure for GL&V
14 September, 2006Liquid/solid separation technology specialist GL&V has restructured it’s worldwide business groups to align its operations more closely with target market segments.
Wastewater pumps
17 May, 2006The submersible wastewater pumps range of Danish-built PXPumps has a design which is centred around minimising life cycle costs (LCCs). This is achieved by improved hydraulic and electrical efficiencies.
Jet device to eliminate manual sludge cleaning
12 May, 2006Cleaning the inside of giant storage tanks at refineries and bulk chemical storage facilities is set to get a whole lot easier, safer and cheaper, with the development of an innovative jet cleaning device.
Submersible pressure transmitter
21 March, 2006The AquiStar PT2X submersible pressure transmitter represents the latest in state-of-the-art level measurement technology. Building on years of successful experience, this industry standard digital RS485 interface device offers great noise immunity, thermal performance and transient protection.
