 Duisburg,
Germany -- Krohne announces that it has completed its

industrial temperature measurement instrumentation will
launch Krohne into this market and will also broaden
Krohne’s current product portfolio.
“INOR will be another strong
partner in the Krohne Group. We will now be able to offer
our customers a complete family of temperature measuring
instruments,” said Michael Dubbick, managing director of
Krohne.
Feliz Brakl, managing director of
INOR, said, “Krohne is an ideal partner. Not only will we
continue to be a leading manufacturer of temperature
transmitters, but we will also be able to grow faster.”
The acquisition will result in
numerous synergies, both for Krohne and INOR, which will
benefit the companies’ customers. Krohne will continue to
foster INOR’s long-standing customer relationships and
partnerships.
INOR Process AB (Malmц)

Siemens Creates Integrated MBR
Technology Center
 Erlangen,
Germany -- Recognizing the growing customer need for
integrated biological and membrane wastewater treatment,
USFilter, part of the Water Technology division of Siemens's
Industrial Solutions and Services (I&S) Group, has created a
new Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Technology Center. The center
will focus on wastewater treatment solutions that combine
the company's proven Memcor MBR with established biological
technologies from Envirex, Jet Tech and Davco product lines.
Such
technologies include multi-channel oxidation ditches,
vertical loop reactors, field-erected biological systems,
sequencing batch reactors, and other biological technologies
of Siemens.
"The
MBR Center will provide our customers with more choices to
cost effectively treat their wastewater," said Chuck Gordon,
executive vice president of the Water Technologies' systems
unit. "We will be able to develop new products and new
configurations of MBR technology - allowing customers to
expand MBR applications, improve effluent quality, and
reduce costs."
MBRs
were introduced in the last 10 to 15 years as a way of
combining membrane filtration with biological treatment. An
alternative to conventional treatment, MBRs enable customers
to meet strict effluent requirements with smaller treatment
plants that allow higher reactor loadings and produce less
sludge. The technology is ideal for retrofits and for water
recycling.
According to market researchers, the market for MBRs is
still growing. Robert W. McIlvaine of the McIlvaine Company,
a filtration forecasting firm, has noticed a 30 to 40
percent increase in MBR sales over the past few years.
Within that number, MBR usage for wastewater treatment has
increased by 60 percent. In the U.S. alone, sales are
projected to almost double to nearly $100 million by the
year 2010.
"Our
new MBR Center will be supported by our best team of
experienced Memcor membrane and process technologists, as
well as biological treatment experts," said Gordon. "The
group will be fully focused on the growth potential of the
product and the MBR market."
Siemens Water Technologies delivers cost-effective, reliable
water and wastewater treatment systems and services to
municipal, industrial, commercial and institutional
customers worldwide. The division "Water Technologies" is
part of Siemens' Industrial Solutions and Services Group
(I&S) which is the integrator of systems and solutions for
industrial and infrastructure facilities and global service
provider for the plant and projects business covering
planning, installation, operation and the entire life cycle.

Royal Caribbean Contract
 VICTORIA,
BC -- Hydroxyl Systems Inc. announced today that a $6M

CleanSea® advanced wastewater purification systems onboard
Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity Cruises vessels.

of the Seas and 2,000 passenger Celebrity Summit cruise
vessels. As a result of implementing Hydroxyl’s technology,
Royal Caribbean will reliably exceed stringent Alaska State
environmental regulations by 50% for effluent discharge
within sensitive aquatic environments along the Alaskan
coastline.
“Hydroxyl Systems is extremely proud to be selected as Royal
Caribbean’s environmental technology partner for these high
profile wastewater treatment projects,” stated Hydroxyl CEO,

over four years experience of working together. We have
demonstrated that Hydroxyl has the people and robust
technology to execute this new contract. We are committed to
enabling Royal Caribbean to reliably exceed stringent
environmental standards at the best value offered in the
marketplace.”
The
announcement continues Royal Caribbean’s commitment to
environmentally responsible operations, and is in support of
the company’s Save The Waves corporate waste management
policy. The new CleanSea systems are in addition to two
Hydroxyl wastewater systems already in operation in Royal
Caribbean’s fleet onboard the Enchantment of the Seas and
the Vision of the Seas cruise vessels.
"In
Hydroxyl, Royal Caribbean has an advanced technology
solution and business partner that enables us to continue to
demonstrate leadership in environmentally responsible
operations within our industry," said Royal Caribbean Vice
President of Newbuilding & Fleet Design Peter Fetten.
“Following a comprehensive review of available technologies,
Hydroxyl Systems clearly offered one of the best
technological approaches for our needs on these important
projects.”

Mr. Tearman wants to know
about WW grinders:
I am not sure when to choose
between a channel grinder or an inline grinder. Does the
inline grinder affect the NPSH of the pump or any of the
pumps characteristics?
Our application is a sump
with a self-priming pump. The liquid flows rising main into
the sump. (Click

Mr. Milder needs help with grit and rag pH:
My understanding is that we
will shortly be mandated to raise the pH of our grit and
rags to 11.5 for a minimum of 2 hours before we can take it
to the landfill.
Currently we are using bag
lime to accomplish this. But man, what a dusty mess.
The grit and the rags are in 2 separate hoppers that are
about 10 foot deep. The dust is tearing everything up.
Is there an alternative
product to raise the pH without causing all of the havoc?
