On-The-Move : Mazzei And GDT To
Merge
 Bakersfield,
CA -- Mazzei Injector Corporation announces the merger of
GDT Water Process Corporation of Phoenix, AZ, USA. GDT is a
water treatment equipment company specializing in ozone
treatment and VOC stripping applications using patented
pressurized dissolution and degassing technology in the
industrial and municipal water arena. GDT will become a
division of Mazzei Injector Corp. and will continue to offer
its patented systems and processes along with its
engineering expertise under the Mazzei Injector banner.
Paul
Overbeck, President of GDT and immediate past chairman of
International Ozone Association, will lead a team of
engineers and sales representatives for the continued growth
of Mazzei/GDT products and processes within water and
wastewater treatment markets. Paul Overbeck, commented, “Our
focus will be on the development of a strong, technically
competent global distribution and service system for Mazzei
and GDT applications of ozone, aeration, and chemical feed
for the commercial, industrial, municipal and agricultural
industries.”
The
alliance of the two companies enables a more structured
focus on core Mazzei Injector and GDT products and
processes. Angelo Mazzei, President of Mazzei Injector
Corporation states, “This synergistic approach utilizes the
combination of talents, strengths, and capabilities of both
businesses to expand the manufacturing, distribution, and
sales of our proprietary technologies.

Saudi Aramco : Selects USFilter
Technology For Seawater Filtration
 WARRENDALE,
PA -- USFilter, a Siemens company, has received a
multi-million dollar order to supply 20 horizontal sand
filters for the Ain Dar and Shedgum seawater filtration
project for Saudi Aramco's Qurayyah Seawater Treatment Plant
located in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Each
filter will treat 125,000 barrels per day of seawater for
water injection, filtering out suspended solids and
particulates to prevent well plugging. The filters are
horizontal sand filters, each 11 feet in diameter with
40-foot side shells.
Original design capacity of the plant is seven million
barrels per day -- this equipment order will add 2.5 million
barrels per day of additional capacity. The filtered
seawater will also meet a tight specification of 0.2 mg/L
Total Suspended Solids in the effluent, which original
equipment installed at the plant has been unable to meet
consistently.
In
March 2002, Saudi Aramco engaged USFilter to perform an
independent engineering study to identify existing problems
and to make recommendations for improvements and upgrades to
the system. The study was completed in May 2002.
"This
is an important project," says Joe Momont, project manager
for USFilter. "With the addition of the sand filters, the
treatment plant will be able to function more effectively
and efficiently, as it was originally intended."
Expected delivery of the equipment is being staged from
October 2004 through January 2005. Startup will be in
mid-2005.
USFilter Corporation, a Siemens company, delivers
cost-effective, reliable water and wastewater treatment
systems and services to municipal, industrial, commercial
and institutional customers worldwide. USFilter is part of
Siemens' Industrial Solutions and Services Group (I&S),
which provides innovative solutions and services designed to
improve competitiveness in processing and manufacturing
industries and in infrastructure. In fiscal 2004 (to
September 30) I&S employed a total of 30,000 people
worldwide and achieved total sales of EUR 4.290 billion.

EPA : To Extend Permit Deadline for Stormwater
Discharges
 Washington,
DC -- EPA proposes to extend until June 12, 2006, the
regulatory deadline that would require stormwater permit
coverage for oil and gas construction activities that
disturb between one and five acres of land. The agency
needs additional time to consider comments raised by
stakeholders and to consider the economic, legal and
procedural implications related to controlling
stormwater discharges from these sites.
The public may provide
comments on the proposed extension for 30 days upon
publication in the Federal Register. A copy of the
proposed extension and information about EPA’s
stormwater program is available at:
http://www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater .
During the next 15 months,
EPA intends to: complete an economic impact analysis;
evaluate several regulatory options for addressing these
stormwater discharges; and evaluate practices and
methods used to control stormwater discharges from these
sites. EPA intends to hold at least one public meeting
with stakeholders to exchange information on current
industry practices and their effectiveness in protecting
water quality.
Today’s proposed extension
also outlines EPA’s intent to develop and propose a
regulation that would address stormwater discharges from
these oil and gas construction sites. This proposal, to
be made by Sept. 12, 2005, will be made available to the
public for review and comment.

Scott
needs help with grease traps:
I hope someone here can offer
some advice with a problem I'm having. Everyone here seems
extremely knowledgeable, I just hope this topic is
applicable to this forum.
I supervise custodial
operations in a school district in Illinois. We are
responsible for a maintenance program that is supposed to
prevent problems in our kitchen grease traps.
I should add that as far as I
know, the program we are following was designed and
initiated by a chemical salesman who sells us the chemicals
that we use for the program. This program involves pouring
gallons of expensive chemicals down our drains every week,
three different products are sold to us to utilize in this
program. This morning, we had a grease trap blockage at one
of our schools. Obviously, I'm not real happy at this point,
and I'm going to closely scrutinize exactly what we are
doing and why.
Any advice, tips, past
experiences, product names, web sites, would be very much
appreciated. I apologize if this is not applicable to this
website, but I'm desperate for some unbiased advice!
