JWCE's New Monster Blind Diagnostic System
 Costa
Mesa, CA - JWC Environmental has added even more features to
their popular line of finescreens with the development of
Monster Blind Diagnostic System (MBDS). This patent pending
feature detects the percent blinding factor of a screen and
notifies plant operational staff about screen performance.
An optional feature, MBDS can
also control additional cleaning steps, such as hot water
spray wash or automatic brush adjustment to improve the
screen's operating efficiency.
"No one else in the screening
market has developed a system to tell the customer how
efficiently the screen is operating," said Scott Kelly, JWC
Director of National Sales.
One of the chief benefits of MBDS
is that it allows the screen to work at optimal efficiency
by allowing operators to continually monitor the average
blinding level for the screen. It detects and alerts
operators to situations such as heavy solids loading
(grease), the need to adjust the cleaning brush (if
utilized), or the need to replace spray nozzle(s).
"The MBDS is another example of
JWC's constantly improving technology. In addition, MBDS
adds to our credibility and proves we are the market leader
in finescreen technology," added Kelly.
MBDS is an optional feature
available for the entire Monster Separation System family of
fine screens, including Finescreen Monster, Bandscreen
Monster, Chain & Rake Monster and Catenary Monster.
JWC Environmental distributes its
products through a global network of independent
representatives and distributors. In addition, JWC provides
extensive sales and service support through regional and
international product support centers.

Infilco Degremont acquires WPT
 Richmond,
VA -- Degremont Technologies is very pleased to announce
that Infilco Degremont, Inc., supported by its parent
companies SUEZ Environment and Degremont S.A., has recently
acquired Water & Power Technologies, Inc. (WPT).
With the acquisition of Earth
Tech by AECOM Technology Corporation, a decision was made to
divest certain business segments that did not fit its
strategic plan. WPT was part of this divesture.
WPT has built a solid reputation
by supplying state-of-the-art equipment, services and custom
engineered systems to a wide spectrum of industries,
including power, oil & gas, chemical, pharmaceutical and
electronics. The company operates a dedicated Beverage
division, and offers versatility though products such as
WaterPro for Water-By-The-Gallon contracts, and emergency
mobile trailers.
Specialist in ion exchange
deionization, reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration membrane
technologies among others, WPT is well equipped to meet the
specific pure water needs of their clients.
WPT is headquartered in Salt Lake
City, Utah, with regional offices in Arlington, TX,
Columbia, SC, and Denver CO. The company also operates a
modern manufacturing facility, complete with stainless steel
workshop, UL listed electrical shop and full assembly and
testing capabilities. The company employs 150 employees and
generated revenues of $40 million in 2007.
WPT’s core business is highly
complementary to Degremont’s, and we are excited by the
synergies that exist between our companies. We will strive
over the next few months to define an integrated industrial
business strategy and a sales organization that will best
foster growth opportunities.

NSF's New Certification for PVC
Water Main Pipe
 Ann
Arbor, MI -- Recent requests from the plumbing industry has
prompted NSF International to expand its services for
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) water main piping products. NSF’s
new services evaluate and certify PVC pipes that meet UL
1285: Pipe and Couplings, PVC for Underground Fire Service’s
performance requirements.
These
devices include PVC and molecular oriented polyvinyl
chloride (PVCO) pressure pipe, couplings and gaskets for use
in underground fire service systems and connections to such
systems.
NSF is
also pleased to announce that Sanderson Pipe Corporation, a
manufacturer of PVC pipe, is the first client to be
certified to UL 1285: Pipe by NSF’s Plumbing Program.
“Being
the first PVC manufacturer to receive UL 1285 certification
from NSF lets our customers know that we take safety very
seriously,” said Donald Finton, a Quality Control Manager,
Sanderson Pipe Corporation. “It is important that our
facility meets all requirements to ensure our customers
receive the best pipe possible while conforming with the
standards set forth in AWWA C900 and UL 1285.”
Since
the requirements of UL 1285 and AWWA C900: PVC Pressure Pipe
and Fabricated Fittings, 4-Inch through 12-Inch, for Water
Distribution standards are very similar, NSF can bundle
these services to offer a listing to UL 1285, AWWA C900 and
NSF 14: Plastics Piping System Components and Related
Materials saving additional cost and time. These
specifications include dimensions, testing, and toxicology
to make sure pipe is safer for customers, as well as the
environment.
"This
listing service expansion will enable manufacturers of PVC
piping to take advantage of the convenience of having one
source for their plumbing, conduit and now water main pipe
testing/certification needs," said Nasrin Kashefi, General
Manager, NSF Plumbing Program.
NSF’s
listing program meets the listing requirements in National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 24: Standard for the
Installation of Private Fire Service Mains and their
Appurtenances. NSF is also a Nationally Recognized Testing
Laboratory by the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration for UL 1285.
For
more information about the new services offered by NSF’s
Plumbing Program, please contact Tim Haenftling, Technical
Manager of NSF’s Plumbing Programs, at

Tunneling Machine's
five-year Journey Ends
 DEVIL
CANYON, CA -- A 450-foot tunnel-boring machine emerged
from under the San Bernardino Mountains today, creating
a nearly four-mile tunnel as part of a large-diameter
regional water line that will help improve the quality
and reliability of imported water serving nearly 19
million Southern Californians.
The breakthrough completes
the massive mechanical mole’s nearly five-year passage
through dirt, rocks and granite up to 1,500 feet beneath
the mountain range, as part of Metropolitan Water
District’s Inland Feeder project.
“For those of us who have
followed this project since it first appeared on the
drawing board 20 years ago, this is truly a thrilling
moment,” said Metropolitan board Chairman Timothy F.
Brick. “This is a landmark achievement for the Inland
Feeder, a vital link in securing a more reliable,
higher-quality water supply for Southern Californians.”
The 3.8-mile Arrowhead West
Tunnel is the last of three needed for the 44-mile
Inland Feeder, a high-capacity, gravity-fed water
delivery system stretching from the foothills of the San
Bernardino Mountains to Metropolitan’s Colorado River
Aqueduct in the Riverside County community of San
Jacinto. Mining on the other two project tunnels—the
4.3-mile Arrowhead East Tunnel and 8-mile Badlands
Tunnel—was completed last May and in July 2001,
respectively.
When completed in 2010, the
Inland Feeder will provide Metropolitan the flexibility
to deliver water when available from Northern California
during wet periods—primarily during the winter when it
rains.
The feeder also will improve
the quality of Southern California’s water supply by
allowing more uniform blending of water from Northern
California with Colorado River supplies, which have a
higher mineral content.
“Southern California is
facing increasingly limited periods of time when water
is accessible in Northern California and can be
delivered to our region,” Brick said. “So when water is
available, we must be prepared to move large volumes of
water during a relatively short time and then store it
for use during dry periods and emergencies.”
First envisioned in the late
1980s, the $1.2 billion Inland Feeder will deliver water
to be stored in surface reservoirs, such as
Metropolitan’s Diamond Valley Lake near Hemet in
southwest Riverside County, and groundwater basins for
later use.
Metropolitan General Manager
Jeff Kightlinger said the project will help Southern
California cope with future weather pattern
uncertainties, which may bring more rain and less
snowpack to Northern California, and longer periods of
drought to Southern California.
The Metropolitan Water
District of Southern California is a cooperative of 26
cities and water agencies serving nearly 19 million
people in six counties. The district imports water from
the Colorado River and Northern California to supplement
local supplies, and helps its members to develop
increased water conservation, recycling, storage and
other resource-management programs.

Mr. Zamwel wants help with
high COD in wastewater:
I would like to ask your
opinion what would be the best way to treat high load COD
industrial wastewater. The COD is around 10,000 and should
be lower to less than 500.
We can use PACT,
bio-treatment with membranes and ozone.
