brief
Stork turns river into process water Stork Friesland acquired an order to supply membranes for the treatment of water from the Maas-river in Holland. The ultrafiltration plant will process water by EdeA, a subsidiary of DSM (Chemicals) and EZN (public utilities). The peak capacity of the plant is approx. 2000 mS/hr. Stork says the order is worth over 1 million Dutch Guilders t u g s 500,000).
BioGuard stops fouling A new fouling inhibitor from Professional Water Technologies (PWT) cdled BioGuard controls microbiological activity in membrane., by inhibiting cell growth and adhesion to the membrane surface and flow channels thus reducing membrane-cleaning requirements. P W T says that unlike conventional methods of biological control, BioGuard ACS does nor, rupture cells.
Ionics revenues up 7% lonics lnc., has reported revenues of US$ 352.2 M for the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to US$ 326.7 M in 1996 representing a 7% increase. Net income rose to US$ 28.3 M, compared with net income of $26.5 M for 1996. lonics noted that the high level of fourth quarter bookingsat US$93.9 M, were up 26% on 1996. This reflected improvemenrs in the wastewater and instrumentation areas, whereas the ultrapure water for the semiconductor industries remained weak.
Pall sales down Pall Corporation has reported that sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 were down, but still at a massive US$ 259 million compared to US$ 260 million in last year's second quarter. Pall blamed adverse foreign exchange rate moves :hat reduced sales by US$14 million to a negative 1/2% in the second quarter.
