Fourth
Year as a Sponsor
Aquastore® Renews its
Sponsorship with Water and Wastewater.com
We are pleased to announce that
Aquastore has renewed its sponsorship in Water and Wastewater.com
for the fourth time!
Aquastore® tanks are found in
virtually every segment of the water market; storing potable water,
waste water, grey water and leachate.
Glass-fused-to-steel bolted tanks
offer several advantages that have contributed to their rapid
acceptance. They are cost effective. Factory coating eliminates the
weather delays and variables affecting the quality of field applied
coatings. The unique, bolted lap-joints speed assembly. The tanks
can be pre-engineered for future vertical expansion. Bolted tanks
can be erected in remote locations and be designed for relocation.
Best of all, their performance is dependable, with minimal
maintenance costs.
The factory-applied silica glass
coating on Aquastore tanks forms a hard, inert barrier for both the
interior and exterior of surfaces of the tank. It protects the steel
core against weather and corrosion. The Aquastore tank's proprietary
Edgecoat™ process produces a barrier coating on the sheet edges,
so that the entire steel panel is encapsulated in a glass shell.

Water Quality Experts to Discuss Odor
Control Strategies and New Technologies
Proximity of New Homes to Wastewater
Treatment Plants a Focus of Albuquerque Meeting
(Alexandria, Va.) As many communities
experience increased development and homes and businesses are built
closer to wastewater treatment plants, odors and toxic air emissions
have become more of an issue. Albuquerque, N.M. is set to host
"Odors and Toxic Air Emissions 2002", a Water
Environment Federation (WEF) specialty conference designed to
provide an in-depth examination of the latest technological
advancements and efforts to control odor and toxic air emissions.
The conference will be held April 28-May 1, 2002 at the Albuquerque
Convention Center.
Co-sponsored
by the Rocky Mountain Water Environment Federation and the
International Water Association, the conference will cover current
issues, regulatory requirements, analysis methods, and solutions.
The conference will also address methods to influence policy makers
to use sound technical information in decision-making, and will
encourage the use and acceptance of effective innovative
technologies.
Conference Co-Chair Thomas Mahin
(Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection), believes
"the fields of odor nuisance and toxic air emissions are
becoming increasingly important as new development moves closer and
closer to wastewater treatment facilities". Speaking about the
potential effect on property value, Mahin believes wastewater
treatment professionals "need to understand the successes and
limitations of the different approaches that are being tried to
prevent odor issues from becoming both major headaches and
significant financial resource drains."
A preconference workshop on April 28,
"Risk Management Plans: Keeping Treatment Plants Secure and the
Public Informed," will cover the procedures needed to improve
security of treatment operations, increase safety of hazardous
chemicals, and provide assurance to the public. The Opening General
Session, also on the 28th, will feature William Cain of the
University of California-San Diego on the "Assessment of Health
Effects from Odorous Emissions." Cain's research focuses on the
human sense of smell, the irritation sense, and issues of
chemosensory perception.
The conference will feature 10
technical sessions, including "Emissions from Biosolids
Processing and Composting Facilities" and "Methods for
Sampling, Measuring, and Estimating Emissions." According to
Conference Co-Chair Jay Witherspoon (CH2M HILL), there will be
"several sessions that address biotechnology and its
applicability to replace chemical scrubbers and other traditional
control approaches." Witherspoon believes that this conference
"has the science, the case studies, peer reviewed papers, and
the right balance that will enable an expert and novice to walk away
with the feeling that they learned something new in this
field".

Ideal
for "Open Channel" Applications
GLI Model U53 Ultrasonic Flow
Measurement System
The Model U53 uses ultrasonic sensor
technology to provide highly accurate open channel flow and depth
measurements. The system automatically calculates flow using either
pre-programmed or custom user-defined flow structure tables, making
it an invaluable tool for non-intrusive monitoring of open channels.
It
uses a simple menu-driven structure to help guide the user through
operation sequences, providing reliable and cost-effective flow
monitoring. Flow measurements can be viewed directly on the display,
or output to a chart recorder, data logger, or remote SCADA system
via the two current outputs. Four user-configurable relays allow
links to be made with external equipment for total site and process
control.
The Model U53 is ideal for flow and
depth control in a variety of open channel applications including
monitoring of storm water, inlet flow, final effluent and activated
sludge.

Mr. Chapman wants NSF info on
piping:
I Wondering if you can assist me (or
direct me to the right place) with the following:
What states require NSF approval for
chemical pipe used in water treatment applications (not waste
water)? My understanding is that NSF is a standard, but not
every state has adopted it for chemical piping.
