SHOWCASE base in the US and Canada, while PWT's growing network of international distributors are in the process of adding it to their product lines. PWT says SpectraGuard™ 350 is compatible with all membrane types and system components and provides excellent performance and protection against fouling by inorganic species such as carbonate and sulfate scales, silica, and metal hydroxides. With its stable molecular structure maintaining integrity in high pH, high temperature and high salinity applications, SpectraGuard™ 350 is able to work in an environment with higher levels of colloidal foulants. DOW INTRODUCES ITS OWN PREBUILT UF SKID Dow launched its new IntegraPac™ skids in March 2012. Consisting of Dow IntegraPac ultrafiltration (UF) modules, auxiliary parts and piping, IntegraPac skids are said to significantly streamline design, assembly, shipping and installation. This efficient UF solution results in lower costs, faster assembly, smaller footprint and easier maintenance. With asymmetric hollow fiber H-PVDF membranes, uniform pore size and outside-in flow configuration, Dow UF modules maintain high performance under a wide variety of feedwater conditions. The skids are rigorously designed, engineered and tested to meet the highest industry requirements. VEOLIA LAUNCHES MOBILE UF UNIT IN EUROPE A mobile ultrafiltration (UF) unit from Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies now available in Europe for industrial water treatment. It is also available in North and South America. Launching the AquaMove™ MOFI-UF-65C on 16 February current mobile AquaMove MOFI sand, cartridge and bag filters for surface water treatment, pretreatment upstream of RO or ion exchange, plant downtime for maintenance purposes, secondary effluent of conventional wastewater treatment and water reuse. Housed in a 40 ft (12 m) container, the MOFI-UF unit is compact and easily transportable. It is flexible and produces a flow from 20 m3 with a nominal rate of 65 m3 /h to 100 m3 follow-up of maintenance and ensures optimum operation. /h depending on the water quality, /h.

The company is developing new pumps for reverse-osmosis and desalination, and its current range will move brine, brackish water, seawater, surface water and wastewater. The Fybroc pumps page is at www.mp-gps.com/brands/ fybroc. SUPER-DUPLEX BALL VALVE FOR DESALINATION LAUNCHED A super-duplex stainless-steel ball valve for corrosive environments such as desalination and reverse-osmosis has been introduced by Victaulic. The Series 726D Super Duplex Stainless Steel Vic-Ball 2012, Veolia stated that UF is the most appropriate pretreatment technology upstream of reverse osmosis (RO), for reduction of organic substances or microorganisms. The unit completes the large European range of 130 AquaMove mobile units and meets new needs to treat water with suspended solids and organics with high fouling indices. It replaces the Valve is a grooved-end, high-pressure, full-port ball valve that provides faster, easier and safer installation than flanged or butt-weld valves. The valve can withstand pressures of up to 8,200 kPa (1,200 psi) and is connected with the Victaulic Style 489DX rigid coupling, which requires only two bolts to form a secure joint. The Series 726D valve offers excellent flow characteristics and uses less energy than more restrictive types of valves. The two-piece, end-entry design features a floating ball for lower torque requirements.
