Mass flowmeters
23 November, 2007The ST series flowmeter is designed for rugged environments typically found in the oil/gas, chemical, electric power, pulp/paper and wastewater treatment industries and applications. Its no moving parts, non-clogging flow sensing element provides direct mass flow output and features built-in temperature compensation. It is suitable for use in a wide range of process and plant gas applications, including compressed air, hydrocarbon gases and inert gases. The ST98 flowmeter has a reliable thermal mass flow sensor in a smart electronics package. It operates over a wide flow range from 0.21 to 172 NMPS in air with a standard flow accuracy of ±1% of reading, ±0.5% of full scale. It is suitable for a wide range of air/gas flow measurement applications, including natural gas or methane monitoring, compressed air metering, industrial HVAC systems, nitrogen blanketing and combustion air.
Corrosion-resistant refrigerated sampler
23 November, 2007The Isco 4700 refrigerated sampler for municipal and industrial wastewater applications features a powerful ½ hp compressor with software-controllable temperature settings. The controller displays the sample compartment temperature and logs a 24 h summary to confirm proper cooling and sample preservation.
Effluent review on dairy
22 November, 2007A study conducted on the effluent stream at Department of Primary Industry's dairy, Ellibank in Victoria, has provided a better understanding on how to improve the potential for energy recovery, energy savings, water and nutrient recovery
India, Australia joint venture for contamination research
31 October, 2007Australia’s Cooperative Research Centre for Contamination Assessment and Remediation of the Environment (CRC CARE) and the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IITK) have joined forces on research and training for contamination risk assessment and clean-up.
Low emission invention yields fast growth
15 October, 2007Biolytix has been announced as the biggest mover on the ‘Q400 List’ of Queensland’s leading private companies, surging past 95 other businesses.
School installs sewerage treatment and disposal system
22 August, 2007Over the 2005/2006 Christmas school holiday break, GBG successfully installed the KEWT system at the Greenbank Preschool and Greenbank State School site
The next generation of pressure sewer systems
22 August, 2007South East Water's experience with pressure sewer system (PSS) has been extremely positive, particularly in a backlog sewerage environment where it results in a significant reduction in disturbance to the local community and environment
Wastewater research gets additional funding
02 August, 2007Australian researchers at the Advanced Wastewater Management Centre will receive extra backing from the International Science Linkages fund for the development of a more efficient method of processing wastewater.
New Zealand's dairy industry takes action against water waste
31 May, 2007New Zealand's leading dairy cooperative, Fonterra has announced a new environmental policy that introduces tough measures against farmers who don't comply with environment standards in the management of effluent, with the ultimate sanction of not collecting farm milk.
Treating organic wastewater
02 May, 2007EBCRC researchers at the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI) have developed a process where high-strength wastewater is turned into valuable products
Sewer technology
22 September, 2006Becker products are used in the construction of vacuum sewer collection systems. They can be used as an alternative to gravity systems as they do not rely on the natural gradient for the transportation of sewerage. They offer an odour-free environment, with the ability to transport effluent uphill, and use less water for flushing.
On-site sewage system danger
19 April, 2006Installing on-site sewage systems in the wrong soil types can lead to potential environmental and health hazards, a Queensland University of Technology researcher has warned.
Wastewater lagoon bio-remediation
21 March, 2006Byogon PX-109 is a special extract of plant material and 100% organic. Developed by the University of Hawaii as a bio-stimulant it is designed to enhance cell growth. It is an alkaloid that acts to increase cellular metabolism of a wide variety of naturally occurring microorganisms. When combined in wastewater streams it releases Xeronine to re-invigorate existing bacteria in sewage to reduce odour, greases, and improve water quality.
Wastewater treatment system
21 March, 2006The Kele Effluent Wastewater Treatment System (KEWT) was developed by Ben Kele during the course of his Master's study at the Central Queensland University. The system is a recirculating on-site wastewater treatment and effluent reuse technology. The wastewater undergoes primary treatment and is then further treated through a lined sub-surface recirculating filter combined with an evapotranspiration area. The mixture of filter materials can be adapted to suit the treatment requirements; the most commonly used components are sand, blue metal, river rock, zeolite, scoria and charcoal.
Upgrading a wastewater treatment plant
03 January, 2006Cost-effective engineering has enabled the City of Poteau, Oklahoma to achieve major savings while undertaking recent upgrades to municipal wastewater treatment facilities
