Tata Chemicals launches water purifier
Technology news Filtration+Separation January/February 2010
Washer Compactor reduces landfill costs Duperon® has developed the Washer Compactor as a robustly simple non-batching process machine that cleans and compacts screenings of less than 4 inches at rates of up to 60 cu. ft/hour. The company claims that the dual auger system utilises thermalmechanical dynamics, which enables fibrous materials to absorb grease. The Duperon® Washer Compactor uses the power of dual augers to reduce volumes dramatically.
The Duperon Washer Compactor employs selfcleaning dual augers, which
eliminates debris wrapping. Positive displacement assures that what goes in will come out, without exception. Compacted debris shows 84% volume reduction and 60% dry solids – enough to significantly reduce costs associated with landfill fees and transportation. The Washer Compactor’s discharge chute travels up to 3 metres (10 feet) in multiple configurations for easy convenient positioning. www.duperon.com
Hydro International’s Up-Flo filter approved for use Hydro International’s Up-Flo filter has been approved for use in stormwater treatment projects in New Jersey, USA. Following a series of rigorous tests by the New Jersey Corporation for Advanced Technology, the Up-Flo filter’s performance capabilities have been verified. The company says that the Up-Flo
filter will now be used on inflow drainage areas of up to 1.8 acres for a 6-module configuration in development and redevelopment construction projects in the State of New Jersey. This represents a maximum drainage area of 0.3 acres per filter module, with the 6-module configuration fitting into a standard four-foot concrete manhole.
Tata Chemicals launches water purifier Tata Chemicals has launched the Tata Swach water purifier. Requiring no energy or running water to operate, the replaceable filter-based Tata Swach is the result of collaboration between several Tata companies including TCS, Tata Chemicals and Titan Industries in an effort to produce a filter which could eliminate water-borne disease. The Tata Swach technology combines low-cost ingredients such as rice husk ash with nanotechnology and has been rigorously tested to meet internationally accepted water purification standards. The Tata Swach is built around a bulb-like water purifier made of natural elements such as rice husk ash impregnated with nano-silver particles. The purification medium contained inside has the
capability to kill bacteria and disease-causing organisms, which are a huge threat to global health. The Tata Swatch water purifier from Tata Chemicals can purify up to 3,000 litres of water. When this capacity is reached, the cartridge stops water flow, giving the user enough time to replace the cartridge. Ratan Tata, chairman, Tata Sons spoke at the launch: “Safe drinking water is the most basic of human needs. The social cost of water contamination is already enormous and increases every year. Although today’s announcement is about giving millions more people affordable access to safe water, it is an important step in the long-term strategy to find a solution to provide affordable access to safe water for all.” www.tatachemicals.com
Larry Abatiell, national sales manager of Hydro International’s US Stormwater business said: “With this approval Hydro International and the Up-Flo Filter cross a major milestone. It is widely known that New Jersey’s testing procedures and approval processes for stormwater treatment devices are among the most stringent in the nation. We
are looking forward to providing the state of New Jersey with highquality treatment solutions that do the job at an affordable price. The Up-Flo Filter is a high-rate stormwater filtration technology that removes trash, sediments, nutrients, metals and hydrocarbons from stormwater runoff. www.hydro-international.biz
