Water resource projects on the agenda
05 April, 2006Eligible organisations across the country will have the opportunity to invest in major water resource projects with the announcement today of a new call for proposals under the federal government’s Water Smart Australia program.
Self-cleaning industrial water filter
22 February, 2006The Baleen Filter combines micro-screening with a self-cleaning mechanism to deliver reliable and economical filtration results. Solids of greater size than the filter media aperture will be separated and collected with minimal water retention.
Centrifugal pump
22 February, 2006The Goulds ITT model GSC horizontal, double suction, split-case centrifugal pumps are specifically designed for applications such as water supply primary lift and booster stations, power plant filtration, water treatment, and cleaning applications in the pulp and paper industry. Additionally the building and fire industries use this style of pump.
ICT to address issues of water management
16 January, 2006National ICT Australia (NICTA) has announced the first of its Priority Challenge Strategic Projects, the Water Information Network (WIN) Project. According to NICTA, this project is aimed at providing the information infrastructure to support smart use of the water resource on the scale of an entire water catchment.
Open-channel or closed-pipe UV disinfection?
03 November, 2005At a recent international conference on wastewater treatment, a discussion was included on why more and more operators of wastewater treatment facilities are now opting for closed-pipe UV disinfection systems instead of older, open-channel systems
Self-cleaning water filters
26 September, 2005Reusing secondary treated water or plant effluent possesses numerous dirty water problems. Problems include plugging of spray nozzles; fouling of pipes; blinding of sensors, scrubbers, membranes, R/O, and analysers; wearing of pump gland seals; and plugging of irrigation heads. Such issues cause unscheduled shutdown for maintenance and cleaning.
Digital manometer and logger
26 September, 2005The Keller Leo-Record and Leo-Record EEx ia are compact digital instruments that measure both pressure and temperature. They are suitable for use in factories and pipelines. Up to 57,000 readings can be stored in their non-volatile memory.
Metered dose tap
17 August, 2005The Divvy Tap allows users to accurately measure any liquid ensuring a correct dilution and reducing chemical waste. The tap is highly adaptable, fitting a range of container sizes and dispensing accurately.
Chemical-free water treatment
17 August, 2005The VRTX chemical-free water-treatment technology is based on colliding two rotating water streams at very high speeds and the resulting hydrodynamic cavitation causing intense, microscopic localised extremes of temperature and pressure. Chemical reactions are forced to proceed under these conditions.
WonderTreat controls algae bloom
03 August, 2005WonderTreat is a bioremediation product developed by CK Life Sciences. It is composed of carefully selected microbes and a range of natural ingredients
Ultrasonic flowmeter
06 May, 2005The Dynasonic TFXP Portable Transit Time Ultrasonic Flow Meter features advanced non-invasive flow measurement technology, providing a measuring system with accuracy, versatility, ease of installation and dependability.
