Incorporating an enhanced pulsed electric field process (PEF), the IPC Bio Pulse Disinfection Process is aimed at users who have found the conventional PEF purification process too energy demanding. For example, this system reduced energy requirements significantly using a flow-through system and treatment chamber with a 60-kV pulse at 100 pulses per second. The microbe load was reduced from 4.4 million to five, for a 5.94 log reduction. System prices start at $300,000.

Some leaks are too large for an absorbent pad. For such leaks, especially those in tight spaces such as under machinery and pipes, the absorbent drip pan effectively soaks up spills. The pan is made of sturdy plastic and houses an eco-friendly pillow made of plant fibers and other reusable resources. Soiled pillows are easily removed for replacement. The pan measures 10 in. long by 12 in. wide by 4 in. high.

The M20 Scrubber-Sweeper is the only industrial floor cleaning machine that combines a scrubber and a sweeper into a single system — dubbed FloorSmart technology (patent-pending) — that eliminates the complexity of traditional sweeper-scrubbers (two machines bolted together). In essence, the M20 features a high-capacity hopper with dry dust control, allowing users to dry sweep or wet scrub — or do both simultaneously — using the same two brushes. No tools are required to change the brush, squeegee, or washable dust filter, which filters at 99% overall efficiency.

The Dx4030 portable, multi-component monitoring system detects and quantifies gas and vapor leaks at accident sites and at process locations within the chemical manufacturing industry. It provides readings in about 5 s, using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis. This battery-powered and easy-to-use instrument can be controlled and operated through a field-rugged personal digital assistant (PDA). Available units are shipped precalibrated to monitor 25 volatile organic compounds and inorganic gases.

Offering strength, efficiency, durability, and cost effectiveness, pleated spun-bond polyester filtration media are used in industrial baghouse filters for dust removal in air temperatures up to 275°F. They can be singed, glazed, or have polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane bonded to it. Thus, they do not attract oil-like polypropylene and nylon fibers, which can cause the media to deteriorate prematurely. Spun-bond polyester media cleans easily, allowing cartridges used in paint powder coating applications to work like new after a simple soap and water washing.

The Portable FlowCAM particle imaging and analysis system is a compact version of the Benchtop FlowCAM for laboratory operation. It travels conveniently like a laptop, yet has the same commanding range of patented particle imaging and analysis tools as its predecessor. The system automatically takes high-resolution digital images of individual particles and cells in a fluid, measures particle size, length, width, shape, fluorescence and dozens of other parameters in real time, and saves the images and data along with the time and date of collection for further analysis.

The Automated Relative Viscometer (ARV) system is configured for the determination of relative, intrinsic, inherent, specific and absolute viscosity, as well as molecular weight. It features a dual-capillary viscometer designed specifically to measure the viscosities of dilute polymer solutions, a vortex-integrated module that provides fully automated sample preparation and sample delivery.

Having recently received a Safety Integrity Level 2 (SIL 2) rating, the XNX universal gas transmitter provides increased plant productivity and safety. In addition, it has been approved by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and ATEX for Class 1 and Class 2 use in intrinsically safe, explosionproof areas. It is designed for applications in the oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, wastewater treatment, and manufacturing industries.

The patented Chloritrol metering system performs accurate, maintenance-free injection of liquid sodium hypochlorite or calcium hypochlorite for treating municipal drinking water. Its unique valveless duplex-pump design features a primary pump that injects liquid hypochlorite directly into the water main and a secondary pump that removes out-gassed bubbles from the system to prevent loss of prime. It self-primes against pressures up to 125 psi. Internal components are made of ceramic, which provides long-term drift-free accuracy.

The Checkmate DL is a portable, handheld instrument that reads corrosion data from a data logger or remote data collector and then transfers the information to a computer for graphing and analysis. Compared to a portable PC, this instrument is claimed to be a better, safer option for use in hazardous areas classified as Class I, Zone 1 or Class I, Zone 2. Since the transmitter and data logger, which are both located at the data source, are already intrinsically safe and explosionproof, the entire corrosion monitoring system is safe for each step in the process.
