pH CONTROL SYSTEM
Oakite Products Inc., Berkeley Heights, N.J.
has been developed t h a t allows complete recovery of all wastewater, resulting in solids being the only waste product. This process solves most of the problems associated with wastewater recovery and reuse including no liquid discharge to the sewer, no membranes or resins to be fouled, no large energy requirements to operate, low capital investment, and low operating costs. The system is based on electrocoagulation of impurities and filtration removal.

TRIVALENT CHROMATE CONVERSION COATING
O a k i t e P r o d u c t ' s pH C o n t r o l Management Program insures consistent performance, productivity, and environmentally safe processes for a variety of operational parameters at reduced operating costs. The Oakite pH Control S y s t e m , Model 893, is pretested and prewired. Electronically, the system automatically monitors and adjusts the pH of different processes to a predetermined level through a pH electrode in the solution t a n k or line. If pH drops below the preset level, an electronic controller activates the feed pump until the preset pH level is regained, and then the pump is shut off. Standard features include audible high and low pH alarms, proportional 4 to 20 milliamp output for computer interfacing, and a chemical-resist a n t feed pump.

Pavco, Warrensville Heights, Ohio Pavco True Blue 200 is a new single-dip, trivalent chromate conv e r s i o n c o a t i n g , w h i c h gives plated parts an exceptional blue bright chromium appearance. True Blue 2000 is formulated especially for use in chromating alkaline noncyanide, cyanide, or chloride zinc-plated parts. It also provides a superior base for dyeing operations. It is a highly concentrated, long-lasting liquid t h a t does not require the addition of nitric acid. Because there is no h e x a v a l e n t c h r o m i u m in True Blue 2000, waste t r e a t m e n t costs are a fraction of t h a t of conventional chromate baths.
