EPA : Clean Water Fund Annual
Report
 Washington,
DC -- EPA is releasing its 2004 annual report on the Clean
Water State Revolving Fund highlighting program activities
and successes through the past 15 years. The fund is the
largest federal funding program for water infrastructure
projects across the country. The Proven Integrity and
Performance report provides an overview of the fund,
describes its financial status and economic and
environmental performance, and discusses new directions for
the future.
Since
it was created in 1988, the fund has provided low-interest
loans targeting a wide range of projects in areas like
wastewater treatment, non-point source pollution control,
estuary management, and a host of projects focusing on water
quality.
The
report provides an in-depth look at how the fund operates
and describes projects it has financed that help protect and
improve the nation's water quality. This first report
established a system for reporting for long into the future.
To expand use of the fund to support a sustainable
nationwide water infrastructure, the agency hopes that the
successes the report documents will attract new borrowers to
the program.

Gould : Pump Handles Corrosive &
Abrasive Slurries
 Seneca
Falls, NY -- Goulds Pumps, one of the fluid brands of ITT
Industries, is offering the Model JC, a medium-duty slurry
pump for handling a multitude of industrial and wastewater
applications including waste sludge, clay and sand slurries,
carbon slurries, wet scrubber systems, lime mud, paper mill
wastes and other abrasive and / or corrosive services where
process pumps aren't up to the task.
The JC
is designed with service life enhancing features such as
extra thick wet end components for extended wear life, a
heavy duty power end, and a replaceable wear liner which
reduces maintenance costs. The impeller design allows for
external impeller clearance adjustment, which maintains
maximum efficiency.
The
line features maximum parts interchangeability with just
five power ends used for all models. There is a sealing
choice of packing, mechanical or dynamic seals. Fifteen
sizes with a wide range of materials and configurations are
available. The JC offers capacities to 7,000 GPM
(1,600mі/h), heads to 240 feet (73 m), temperatures to 250°
F (120°C), pressures to 127 PSIG (876 kPa) and handles
spherical solids to 2.25 inches (57 mm).
For
additional information on the model JC visit
www.gouldspumps.com
or call 1-800-734-PUMP and ask for Bulletin B201-1.

New Packaged Drinking Water Treatment System
 WARRENDALE,
PA -- USFilter announces its next generation packaged
treatment unit--the Trident HS system. A multi-barrier
approach, the process combines two-stage clarification,
filtration and UV disinfection into a single packaged
system.
At the heart of the Trident
HS design is the Microfloc Trident(R) packaged treatment
technology consisting of adsorption clarification and
mixed media filtration. An integrated, specialized tube
clarifier for removal of gross solids and downstream UV
disinfection system for final effluent treatment
surround the process, completing the Trident HS design.
Collectively the unit offers at least 4-log reduction
credit for Cryptosporidium and Giardia.
"Current and upcoming
regulations are requiring plant operators to do better,"
said USFilter Vice President Les Uhlmeyer. "We have
demonstrated 60-70% removal of total organic carbon
(TOC), which allows all plants to comply with the Long
Term 1 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule. The
multi-barrier approach with two-stage clarification,
filtration and UV disinfection will ensure compliance
for plants as future rules come into effect."
An added benefit of the
system is a more than one-half reduction of waste
volume. Side-by-side testing has confirmed the
reduction, which translates to plant operating cost
savings. Improved operating performance and reduced
waste may also be realized by existing packaged
clarifier-filter systems with a retrofit system offered
by USFilter.
While the unit is ideally
suited for variable quality or high solids applications,
high quality water supplies also benefit from the
design. A high steady state solids concentration in the
tube clarifier section absorbs fluctuations in water
quality and increases floc formation efficiency.
Treatment plants dosing enhanced coagulation rates or
powder activated carbon will obtain improved downstream
operating efficiency as the majority of solids are
captured in the tube clarifier section.
Pre-engineered designs for
treatment rates of 350 to 1,400 gpm per unit are
available, with multiple units provided for higher flow
rates. The modular design allows for incremental
expansion of treatment systems.
USFilter Corporation, a
Siemens company, delivers cost-effective, reliable water
and wastewater treatment systems and services to
municipal, industrial, commercial and institutional
customers worldwide.

Mr. Salsman wants to calculate headloss in a channel:
Has anyone come across a good
equation to find headloss in open channel bends? I am
looking for an equation to find headloss in a 90 degree bend
in an open concrete rectangular channel.
I have been looking and it is
surprisingly difficult to find. Anyone have any ideas?
