Pollutec 1996 waste recyclin Lyon - 22 to 25 October Waste and recycling will be one of the main themes of the 12th session of Pollutec the International Exhibition of Environmental Equipment, Technology and Services for Industry and Local Authorities - taking place at Lyon Eurexpo, from 22 to 25 October 1996. According to a survey of the French market carried out by BIPE Conseil, activities associated with waste showed a growth that outstripped that of overall economic activity. Stimulated by new regulations, this trend looks set to continue throughout 1996. Prices increases, especially those for waste collection, may be a factor of considerable importance. The French Ministry of the Environment is planning to set up a waste prices watchdog body similar to the one already in
existence for water prices. The management of municipal waste sector is experiencing a period of sustained growth, for a number of reasons: an increase in selective refuse collection at the initiative of the authorities, and in an environmentally friendly packaging (the growth rate should reach 115% in 1995 and 60% in 1996); a growth trend towards contracting out municipal refuse collection to private sector operators; the need to review and improve refuse collection equipment as a result of the increased complexity of this activity; lastly, the drop in equipment prices resulting from the internationalisation of the market has accelerated purchases of roll-out bins and containers (these two sec-

in the sps tors achieved growth of 10% and 14% respectively in 1994). An interesting development is the emergence of new markets created by the stricter control of waste from treatment, for example the upgrading of slag or the stabilisation of residue from the fumes from household waste incinerators. These markets are still limited but the future holds potential. Pollutec 96 will also tackle water, air and noise pollution, energy, soil decontamination, clean techand analysis nology, measurement and control. This 12th session of Pollutec will bring together some 1,700 exhibitors over an exhibition area of 70,000 m2.

Baiston high efficiency compressed air filters supplied by Whatman international
are
now
fitted
as standard to a range of furnace viewing television cameras. The television cameras, manufactured by Optics Ltd of Sheffield, UK, are used for viewing the inside of furnaces, boilers and incinerators, and in many cases are required to operate continuously. The cameras have lenses looking directly into the furnace and with temperatures ranging up to 1650°C would last only a few seconds if not provided with a consistent supply of pure dry refrigerated air blowing over the front of the lenses. The air which travels up to 20 metres per second helps to keep it cool and clean, and the positive pressure also prevents contamination of the lens housing by the furnace atmosphere. The camera lens and housing is also surrounded by a water jacket which is maintained at around 35°C and sits flush in the furnace wall to provide a clear anduninterrupted view of the interior. The refrigerated air is provided by a vortex cooler tube to maintain the temperature at about 0°C. Pure air is vital so as not to clog tiny air ways in the vortex tube. The two Whatman filters supplied are the Balston Type 912A grade DX prefilter to remove oil, water and dirt from the compressed air supply, and Type 912A grade BX final filter for removal of solids and suspended liquids at very high efficiency up to 99.99% efficient for 0.1 micron particles and droplets.
