PureSOx platform ensures emissions compliance To date, a total of 109 vessels have chosen the Alfa Laval PureSOx platform for compliance with IMO SOx emissions regulations. Coincidentally, the 100th vessel to choose PureSOx was a newbuild project owned by Danish company DFDS, who also purchased the very first PureSOx scrubber back in 2009 for use aboard the RoRo vessel Ficaria Seaways. With over 75 PureSOx systems in operation today, Alfa Laval claims to have the marine industry’s most extensive list of reference installations for any single SOx scrubber technology. This represents every PureSOx commissioned since the first
installation, including those on board a number of other ships in the DFDS fleet. The shipping company currently has a total of 16 PureSOx scrubbers in operation on 13 of their vessels. www.alfalaval.com/puresox
The PureSOx platform means that vessels can abide by the SOx emissions regulations.
Petrochemical compatible filter fit for refinery use With maximum operating temperatures of 150°C and compatibility with petrochemical products including aromatics, Amazon Filters is pleased to announce that SupaSpun II Nylon filter is suitable for use in refineries and other downstream chemical processing applications including alkylation units and caustic removal processes. Compatibility with oils, fats, and other hydrocarbons combined with high stability allows processing of these fluids at higher temperatures and lower viscosities than polypropylene filters would allow, leading to higher process throughputs and longer filter cartridge life, reducing manufacturing costs. Available in absolute micron ratings from 1 to 180 and with lengths and end cap configurations to suit most industry standard fittings and housings, Amazon claims that the www.filtsep.com
fully thermally welded all Nylon 6 construction of the SupaSpun II filter avoids the weakness and extractables risk of adhesive bonded products. High quality spun bonded depth filters are used for their combination of absolute filter ratings, high contaminant retention capacity across a range of particulate sizes, and ability to be fitted with securely sealing end caps guaranteeing no bypass. www.amazonfilters.com
Low-pressure UV disinfection system simplifies water treatment Berson and Hanovia have jointly launched a low-pressure UV disinfection system for the treatment of municipal, re-use and waste water. The AmaLine R UV range has been third-party validated, in line with US EPA and NWRI guidelines. It has been designed to simplify maintenance, which can be performed by a single operator rather than a crew, and without requiring external lifting equipment. The AmaLine range has a flow range of 1-30 MGD (millions of gallons per day). The AmaLine R has a U-shaped chamber that optimises flow to cater for low UV light transmittance (UVT) water quality. Also available is the AmaLine D range, designed for municipal drinking water,
AmaLine uses LPHO (low pressure high output) amalgam lamp technology that provides variable output ballasts (50 to 100%). This helps to reduce energy consumption further, but also provides greater UV intensity. www.bersonuv.com/how-it-works
AmaLine has been designed using the latest computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling.
Water sector organizations collaborate on innovation Two water sector organizations BlueTech Research and WEF have announced that they have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to enhance collaboration around innovation and market trends. Technology market intelligence company BlueTech Research and the Water Environment Federation (WEF) aim to identify multiple opportunities to combine expertise and meet shared goals for the water industry. A key component of this initiative will be a visiting scientist fellowship programme which will see BlueTech water technology

market analysts working closely with WEF team members on a number of specific joint initiatives. It is expected that this will drive a cross-pollination of knowledge and sharing of information. BlueTech recently supported WEF’s Intensification of Resource Recovery (IR2) Forum and is partnering the technical organisation in the Innovation Pavilion at WEFTEC. The company expects to work closely with WEF to develop innovationrelated programming at other global events and help disseminate findings to WEF members and BlueTech clients. www.bluetechresearch.com
