New treatment can potentially reduce lead in drinking water Ruvaris, based in Pogno, Italy has patented, in Europe and the USA, RUVECO®, a tap (faucet) treatment technology which can reduce the lead release level in drinkable water caused by the small (0.5%-3%) percentage of lead in brass hydraulic devices (BHD) such as taps (faucets). While the maxiumum lead release level advised by the World Health Organization (WHO) is 10 µg/l, the lead quantity present in the water we currently drink can reach 100 -

120 µg/l, Ruvaris reports. The limit for lead in water (10 µg/l), according to Drinking Water Directive 98/83 CE, will be compulsory from December, 25th, 2013. The RUVECO Process works by eliminating lead from the surface of brass in an effective and economic way, the company reports. Taps (faucets) and valves are treated in a sequence of baths formulated for the leaching of lead. Ruvaris says that

products treated by this process fulfill entirely the requirements of the new 2013 directive. Twelve plants applying RUVECO process are already in operation in the world, the company reports, and Ruvaris has agreed to become the UL subcontractor laboratory in the water field for Italy. In Italy, the company has also launched the trademarks rubinetto verde and valvola verde (green tap and green valve).

Watson Marlow Bredel launches SPX10 AND SPX15 hose pumps Watson-Marlow Bredel has launched two more SPX directcoupled hose pumps. The new SPX10 and SPX15 models are said to offer improved durability, ease of maintenance and a 30% smaller footprint than previous pumps. They are designed to fit 10 mm and 15 mm hoses respectively. The Watson-Marlow Bredel SPX patented direct-coupled design has a strong, twin-bearing hub integrated into the pumphead. The rotor is supported by its own bearings, whereas with close-coupled pumps the forces have to be absorbed by the gearbox bearings. In addition,

the coupling and its guard are eliminated. This direct-coupled design results automatically in perfect alignment of the pumphead and drive, the company says. The greased-forlife pump bearings are incorporated into the cast-iron SPX pumphead and a leakproof zone has been created between the pumphead bearings and the gearbox bearings. Time to change the hose has also been significantly reduced in the two new pumps by much simpler hose clamping and flange design and all WatsonMarlow Bredel SPX series hose pumps conform to EHEDG and

ATEX standard, the company reports. Watson-Marlow Bredel series hose pumps offer reliable, contamination-free metering and pumping to 80 cubic metres/hour and pressures of up to 16 bar. They have proved particularly successful in handling fluids that are abrasive, corrosive, have a high viscosity, are shear-sensitive or have a tendency to crystallize. They can be used in industries such as chemical processing, food processing, brewing, pharmaceutical production, paper, mining, water and waste treatment.

Advanced online process controller introduced Walchem has launched WebMaster One, a new online process controller for the water and wastewater treatment industry. According to the company, WebMaster One can connects with USB plug and play, Ethernet for LAN, modem, or cell modem, utilizing the latest global standard digital technologies such as CDMA, GPRS, and GSM, used by most major cellular carriers.

10 WORLD PUMPS June 2005

WebMaster One allows engineers to control and monitor multiple cooling towers, boilers, closed loops, condensate lines, wastewater treatment systems in any

combination, as well as conductivity, pH and ORP and any 4-20 mA and digital inputs such as liquid level, corrosion, inhibitor concentration, temperature and pressure. Walchem says that this can be achieved securely from anywhere using the company's ShoulderTap Connectivity-onDemand technology. The controller also makes it possible for chemical sales Reps to monitor their accounts, prepare reports and troubleshoot before issues arise, while plant facilities managers will have reporting capabilities to assure plant assets are running efficiently.

New Grinder from Moyno Moyno has introduced Series 4, a new line of Annihilator™ grinders which offer greater cutting capability, the company claims. The new grinders include optimized cutter combinations, one-piece flange housing and a quick change cutter cartridge. They can protect downstream equipment from being plugged or damaged from large solids, reducing expensive repairs, the company says. The Series 4 Annihilator is said to be equipped with improved counter-rotating, intermeshing cutters and patented spacer cutters that more than double the cutting edges for optimal performance. It also features a quick change cutter cartridge that can quickly replace the cutter assembly, leading to reduced downtime and lower maintenance cost. There are no flange bolts to disconnect on the Series 4 Annihilator due to its one-piece flange housing, making overall repairs easier and quicker, Moyno claims. Moyno Annihilator grinders are twin shaft solids reduction units designed for a variety of industrial and municipal applications including sewage screening at lift stations, inchannel raw sewage at waste treatment plants and correctional institutions, wastewater at rest areas and mobile home parks, paper and stock wastes, vegetable, fruit and poultry wastes, paint and chemical wastes and waste fuels.
