“Big bubble” mixing technology provides a cost-effective method of pH equalization using magnesium hydroxide rather than sodium hydroxide. Unlike NaOH, which is toxic, Mg(OH)2 is nontoxic, and it is four times more effective than NaOH at lowering the pH of water. Sodium hydroxide is typically used for neutralization because Mg(OH)2 tends to settle, making it difficult to mix using conventional equipment. This new technology effectively mixes Mg(OH)2 in tanks of almost any size, configuration or material of construction.

Several new items have been added to the ChemDrain line of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) chemical waste drain systems, including 8-in. pipe and fittings and a variety of drains. The 8-in. fittings include 1/4 bends, 1/8 bends, 1/16 bends, sanitary tees, wyes, combination wyes, reducing wyes, couplings, bushings and cleanout adapters. CPVC piping systems have a high temperature rating and are resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, caustics, salts, aliphatic solutions and other common agents used in chemical waste processes.

Type 304 stainless steel cord connectors are available in conduit sizes from 0.25 in. to 3.0 in. They provide excellent corrosion resistance and toughness, and are widely used in petrochemical plants and chemical manufacturing/processing facilities, food processing facilities, and medical device manufacturing plants.

The Tri-Phaze is a patented progressing-cavity system designed for multiphase pumping in the oil and gas industry. It allows all fluids produced at the well site, including oil, water and gas, to be transported simultaneously through a single pipeline to a central processing station. Its abrasion resistance allows for smooth transfer of sandy fluid. It can generate flowrates of up to 60,000 bbl of fluid per day (BFPD), with suction pressures up to 900 psi and discharge pressures up to 1,200 psi. Its stator elastomer formulation provides excellent resistance to aromatics.

The Corzan high-pressure flange kit connects a Corzan chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) one-piece flange to pumps, valves and piping transitions, creating a connection with the same pressure-bearing capability as the rest of the CPVC system. This expands the capacity of the flanged joint beyond its typical 150-psi rating. The kit includes a Garlock Stress Saver XP gasket, which has been certified by NSF International to American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/NSF Standard 61 and is chemically compatible with Corzan CPVC.

These threaded one- and two-piece clamp-type shaft collars are designed to be mounted on shafts having unified coarse (UNC), unified fine (UNF), and Acme threads, in bore sizes from 0.25-in. to 16.0-in. inner dia. and various widths. The collars are available in stainless steel and steel with a black oxide finish, as well as aluminum and alloys. They are available as stub-Acme, double-Acme, and bearing locknuts in both English and metric sizes, as well as with a triple-link hinge. The collars are non-marring and easy to adjust, and have high axial holding power.

Prochem PB and MD side-entering agitators provide high-quality performance in a variety of demanding applications, including pulp and paper, fluegas desulfurization, petroleum blending, and storage. These belt-driven agitators come in easy-to-maintain configurations that minimize downtime and maintenance costs. The unique PB Series pillow-block design reduces bearing maintenance. The MD Series has a user-friendly modular design that incorporates an easily accessible shaft-bearing cartridge for convenient maintenance.

This mobile transloading unit is designed for fast, safe custody transfer of a wide variety of liquids. It features a four-wheeled towable trailer that is easy to operate, one side of which can be used for truck transloading and the other for railcar transloading. Both sides share common transfer equipment, including hoses, filters, strainers, air eliminators, valves, sensors, overfill-protection equipment, pumps, meters and an emergency shut-off switch. Optional safety features include access platforms, gangways, and fall-protection safety cages.

Proline Plus pipettors are fully autoclavable and available in single-channel, multichannel, and fixed-volume models for applications ranging from 0.1 mL to 10 mL. Safe, accurate and precise, these instruments feature the manufacturer’s Optiload design for easy tip-loading and ejection. Models with a nominal volume larger than 10 mL can use the manufacturer’s Safe-Cone filters. All Proline Plus pipettors are made in accordance with In-Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) and CE standards.

QED Plus mixers are suitable for a broad range of fluid mixing applications in the specialty chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and other industries. They are capable of performing blending, solids suspension, and high-viscosity-fluid processing tasks. The exclusive leakproof drywell design features a minimum 30,000-h L10 bearing life for cost-effective service. A tapered shaft-engagement system ensures easy disassembly, yet provides a secure, true-running connection between the shaft and drive. The mixers are available in various sizes with an option for continuous or batch mixing.
