Trojan Technologies Acquires Salsnes Filter AS
 London,
Canada -- An agreement has been signed under which Salsnes
Filter AS of Namsos, Norway will join the Trojan
Technologies group of businesses. The agreement is subject
to regulatory approval.
Salsnes Filter’s patented filter technology removes
particles from municipal and industrial process water.
Industries such as food, paper, cruise lines and aquaculture
use the fully-automated treatment technology to treat
effluent, improve the quality of influent or enhance the
utilization of raw materials. Salsnes Filter is also an
alternative to a primary settling stage for a traditional
chemical/biological treatment facility or preventing
membrane bioreactor (MBR) fouling. Salsnes Filter will
operate as one of the Trojan Technologies group of
businesses.
Founded in 1991, Salsnes Filter is represented in many
countries and will continue to operate out of Namsos with
production facilities in Salsnes, Norway.

New "Qstart" Software Utility for ADS Flow Monitors
 Huntsville,
AL -- ADS Environmental Services® today introduces Qstart™,
a new software utility that can be instantly downloaded from
the ADS website for use with ADS flow monitors. This user
friendly software allows field crews to setup and activate
the ADS FlowShark® Triton, FlowAlert™, and RainAlert™ II
monitors in minutes, saving time and money in the field.
“ADS is very pleased to provide this newest software for
customer download to simplify the installation and data
collection processes”, states Garry Wood, Vice President of
Sales for ADS Environmental Services. “It was designed as an
answer to input from customers on how ADS can improve the
delivery of flow monitoring data. Continuous improvement in
delivery of products, services, and data is one of our
highest priorities at ADS.”
Qstart also enables the user to collect and review the
meter’s depth and velocity data in hydrograph and tabular
views simultaneously. Qstart does not calculate a flow rate,
but users can configure the meter to generate and store a
calculated flow rate if they desire. All data collected in
Qstart can be viewed in the field and exported in CSV format
for import into the desktop software of the user's choice.
Qstart is a field tool and has no data editing or flow
calculating functions.
The FlowShark Triton is ADS’ newest flow monitor. It is a
state-of-the-art flow monitor with multiple technology
sensors for unparalleled versatility and redundant
monitoring in all applications. This revolutionary new
fit-for-purpose monitoring device with multiple depth
measurement technologies and multiple velocity measurement
technologies is also an Intrinsically Safe monitor.

Severn Trent De Nora Electrolytic Technology for China
 Fort
Washington, PA -- Severn Trent De Nora has received a
contract to provide its electrolytic disinfection treatment
solutions for biofouling control and wastewater treatment to
the China Offshore Oil Engineering Corporation for its Liwan
3-1 deep sea gas field project in the South China Sea. The
Liwan 3-1 gas field is the first deep sea gas field in China
and will begin production in 2013.
Severn Trent De Nora will be supplying the Seaclor® 23 kg/hr
seawater electrochlorination system and the Omnipure™ Series
55 sewage treatment system, which is capable of treating up
to 38,153 liters/day. Process water used on the rig requires
disinfection treatment to alleviate biofouling concerns. In
addition, a sewage treatment system is required to safely
and effectively treat the black and gray water produced
onboard.
The Seaclor system utilizes a proven electrolytic treatment
process to generate a sodium hypochlorite disinfectant
solution on site using only electricity and seawater. When
injected into the cooling water circuits of deep sea gas
production facilities, the on-site-generated solution
prevents biofouling and marine growth in order to protect
the equipment.
Omnipure Series 55 sewage treatment systems are the only
marine sewage treatment systems that oxidize sewage in an
electrochemical cell as well as generate sodium hypochlorite
for the disinfection of the sewage streams. The Omnipure
Series 55 systems offer effective electrolytic treatment of
both black and gray water while providing a safe and
sanitary method of handling solids. The systems have
received Bureau Veritas certification for IMO Resolution
MEPC.159(55) and USCG Certificate of Approval to
MEPC.159(55).

WEF : Biosolids Recycling and Resource Recovery
 Alexandria,
VA -- The Water Environment Federation’s (WEF) Board of
Trustees has approved a revised position statement that
calls for innovative and beneficial uses of biosolids.
The statement expands on the Federation’s existing
support of federally regulated land application by
encouraging a comprehensive approach to wastewater
treatment and solids management that ensures the
recycling and recovery of all associated resources
including water, nutrients, organic matter and energy.
“As a natural byproduct of wastewater treatment, WEF
recognizes that biosolids is a renewable resource that
is too valuable to waste given our growing needs for
renewable energy and sustainability,” said WEF Executive
Director Jeff Eger. “The adoption of this revised
statement reflects WEF’s support of initiatives to
ensure an expanded view of wastewater and solids
management as well as our commitment to pursue
innovation in water quality.”
WEF believes that a cultural move toward sustainability
has the potential to shift policy-maker and public
perception of biosolids from a waste to a community
resource that can help achieve sustainability goals.
This shift is creating unprecedented opportunities for
the wastewater and biosolids community to position
biosolids as a valuable commodity.
Also recognizing that biosolids recycling remains a
local decision, WEF encourages the use of whatever
associated practice—land application, composting, energy
generation, product development, landfilling,
incineration, or other uses—is best suited to a
community’s economic and technological capabilities.
To take full advantage of the inherent resource value of
biosolids, WEF supports development of multiagency
coordinated regulations that are based on sound research
and best practices; advancements, innovation, and
development of new technologies; recognition of the
expanded role of wastewater and solids management;
enhanced sharing of knowledge both within the profession
and with other organizations, the regulatory community,
and the public; and continued research.
This position is consistent with decades of scientific
research and years of field practice that have clearly
established the value and environmental benefits of
biosolids, when properly treated and managed. It is also
consistent with the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency’s (EPA) position and those of other federal
agencies, which encourage the beneficial use of
biosolids through policies and regulations, including
the Clean Water Act.
