26 WET NEWS march 2015 Quantitech first launched the Infracal 2, a portable oil in water analyser, in 2013 and the company said there has been a heavy demand for this instrument in the oil sector because of the new functionality that now comes as standard. The Infracal 2 can now be operated from an internal battery and also provides lower detection limits. however, the original Infracal could not store multiple calibrations or log readings, so the latest instrument can be more independent, making it better suited to remote operation. The company is hoping the analyser will become popular in a wider range of other manufacturing and processing industries, including wastewater and fracking. The original Infracal is still available, but with a touch-screen display. The Infracal 2 is easier to use and delivers superior performance for sub-ppm detection of oil in water. www.quantitech.co.uk Tel: 01908 227722 Stainless steel fittings conform to ISO 4144 albion Valves, supplier of specialist products for the water industry, is one of the first companies in the UK to introduce a range of stainless steel fittings that conform to the current ISO 4144 Standard designed to specify the pressure, temperature ratings and dimensions of this product group.

The plant had originally been using submersible pumps for sewage transfer duties, but these had become inefficient. mono designed and installed an above-ground munchpump package, which includes two EZstrip progressing cavity pumps and two SB munchers, in a duty / standby arrangement, transferring the sewage at 25m3/h to the main sewerage system. The munchers meet the standard's criteria, offering customers an extensive choice. Stainless steel does not readily corrode, rust or stain with water, making it the primary choice of material used in water systems, from safe drinking water supply to complex industrial water supply systems such as in hospitals, schools and hotels. however, although it is commonplace for engineers to assess system components for quality including valves, it is less likely that the fittings are checked or conform to the industry standard. www.albionvalvesuk.com Tel: 01226 729 900 macerate any solids within the flow to a small particle size, therefore protecting the pumps from any large solids, which could cause blockages. combining a mono progressing cavity pump with a mono muncher allows the use of small bore pipework, typically 50mm, which is a Godwin pump added to hire fleet Modular screening unit with larger capacity more cost effective solution to the traditional 100mm rising main sewer and offers the further advantage of eliminating the risks of solids settling and septicity. www.mono-pumps.com Tel: 0161 339 9000 Terex minerals Processing Systems (mPS) has launched its largest modular screening unit to date.
