The Model 602 sludge depth meter automates sludge level detection and features analog, digital and relay outputs. Automatic desludging yields thicker sludge than processes using timers and/or manual methods, and reduces sludge disposal or processing costs. Plants that are not staffed 24 h/d, 7 d/wk rely on automatic desludging to maintain proper sludge-blanket levels. This 602 Series can be used as a stand-alone system to alarm or automatically control a pump, or it can function as an intelligent sensor for a programmable logic controller (PLC) or computer.

Designed for applications where workers need an integrated collection area and work surface, the SDB downdraft-bench dust collector features a powerful downdraft velocity of 100 ft/m and air volumes up to 2,500 ft3/m. The SDB captures smoke, dust and powders that result from manufacturing operations including grinding and polishing. By drawing particles and contaminants away from the worker’s breathing zone, the SDB protects employees and helps manufacturers to comply with OSHA regulations. The SDB has an 80-in. by 55-in.

Suitable for clean processing environments, T-Tubes stainless steel tube insulation provides critical protection for personnel working around hot processing lines in the biotechnology, semiconductor, pharmaceutical, chemical, cosmetics and food and beverage industries. Made from ZOTEK F closed cell foams and based on Kynar polyvinylidene fluoride, T-Tubes are molded to fit industry standard tubes and fittings.

These heavy-duty dust collection systems can be custom-engineered according to process material characteristics and specific site requirements. They feature heavy-duty, high-stiffness construction that prevent housing failures, which ensures long operating life. Automated pulse jet self-cleaning of filters maintains system pressure. Using no internal moving parts, the collection system uses compressed air in 90–100 psi pulses to perform efficient pulse-jet cleaning of bag filters. Walk-in plenums enable easy installation and removal of snap-in filter bags.

The Capital Controls T70GS4000 mini chlorine dioxide generator is designed for applications such as Legionella control in cooling water. With a generating range from 2 g/d to 10 g/hr, the unit can be used for safe, on-demand production of chlorine dioxide where low dosage rates are required. The generator is also suitable for primary water disinfection, trihalomethane (THM) reduction, iron and manganese removal from potable water, wastewater treatment, and in the food and beverage industry for microbiological control.

The HemiPleat high-efficiency (HE) filter offers an unsurpassed minimum efficiency reporting value (MERV) 15 rating, coupled with up to twice the service life and half the pressure drop of standard dust collector cartridge filters. Available in filter sizes to fit any cartridge collector, the HemiPleat HE media is ideal for the capture of toxic and other ultra-fine dusts, and for applications where process air is recirculated downstream of the collector for energy savings.

The Model 6V vapor hood is a reliable option when oil must be removed from areas where volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are present. Used in such places as tanks and sumps, the Model 6V is fully enclosed with a gasket to prevent the VOCs from escaping into the atmosphere, and is used in conjunction with the Model 6V oil skimmer. The vapor hood is designed so that the electric motor is protected from the skimming area and the VOCs. A built-in decanter in the vapor hood also provides water-free oil skimming.

The OVA 5000 analysis system now offers improved performance for monitoring arsenic 5 and 3, and chrome 6, as well as metals, such as Zn, Cd, Pb and Cu. It can be installed in current plant or control rooms, or at remote sites in a simple enclosure. The system provides online continuous batch monitoring. Throughput is up to 288 samples in 24 hours, with fully flexible programming, which allows samples to be taken at specified times or when triggered by an external event. Typical detection limits are better than 10 ppb for most metals.

Harness Offers Full-Body Protection From Falls. Meeting all applicable OSHA regulations and ANSI standards, the ArcSafe full-body harness features a back Kevlar web-loop and Y-shaped back D-Ring locator pad. It can be used for attachment to climbing systems, personnel riding systems or for rescue applications. The harness also meets the requirements of the ASTM F887 standard for arc flash protection and is CSA certified.

The Detective is a free-standing, transportable gas detector and alarm unit that provides protection wherever there are shortterm hazards, such as during annual maintenance turnarounds. The unit can be used individually or in groups to monitor up to four gases at once. If a dangerous gas level is detected, the unit warns with a wailing 101-dB siren and flashing, high-intensity LED beacons visible from any direction. The Detective’s distinctive design incorporates a sturdy tripod that keeps the gas sensors raised above obstructions and away from surface water.
