Use these diffusers to prevent
settling in sewage-storage tanks
ProFlex 730CBD coarse-bubble
diffusers (photo) are used to aerate
or mix wastewater for effluent
and sewage treatment, ensuring
proper agitation of media with high
specific gravity. This means that
when the sewage is put into a storage
tank, settling at the bottom of
the tank will not occur. The ProFlex
730CBD is an engineered molded
valve, which, when submerged and
charged with air, will create a series
of bubbles strong enough to capture
the sewage effluent and carry
it to the surface of the tank. Featuring
an elastomeric duck-bill design,
the valve is always in a 100% closed
position and relies on static head to
open. Thus, the instant there is an
absence of inlet pressure, the valve
is closed bubble-tight, ensuring that
unwanted media does not flow back
into the manifold. - Proco Products,

Heavy-duty mixers for very
viscous materials
Heavy-duty FGM-series mixers
(photo) feature a high-torque gear
reducer to vigorously agitate heavy
viscous materials. With a ring-mount
design and two opposing handles,
this powerful mixer mounts directly
to 5-gal pails up to 12.25-in. wide. A
quick-change coupler and shaft design
incorporate a shaft pin that locks
in place during rotation. Three 9-in.,
two-blade propellers made from 319
aluminum attach to the 15-in. long
shaft with set screws. Powered by
a 1-hp totally enclosed, fan-cooled
motor that is ready to plug into a
standard outlet, the FGM-1T electric
mixer operates at a fixed speed of 350
rpm. Additional motor options include
fractional horsepower fixed and variable-speed
electric versions, as well
variable-speed air-powered models.
Additional impeller options are also
available. The FGM-series mixers are
appropriate for mixing viscous materials,
such as adhesives and sealants,
as well as viscous primers, paints and
other commercial coatings. - Indco,

Stackable drum racks and
sumps prevent chemical spills
This company's pallet-rack spill-containment
sumps (photo) catch spills
and drips associated with liquid storage
and dispensing, keeping areas
neat and safe. Containment sumps
positioned beneath the drum rack are
manufactured of heavy-gauge steel,
which is galvanized for long service
life with a rust-free appearance. They
feature fully welded frame construction
for durability, with sump welds
fully inspected with low-viscous test
fluids to ensure leak-tightness. A forklift
pocket allows sumps to be moved
easily. Sumps are sized to meet or
exceed OSHA, EPA, NFPA, UFC and
other requirements. Galvanized steel
grating
provides
secure
platform
for vertical drums. Sump liners are
available for highly corrosive liquids.
Versatile designs and configurations
allow the vertical or horizontal storage
of drums, pails and small containers,
as well as IBC totes. - Denios Inc.,

This pressure-relief valve
enables in-field adjustability
The Model L11F weight-loaded pressure-relief
valve (photo) is designed
to be used on tanks, piping and lowpressure
vessels, and can be used
as a standalone unit or in addition
to existing pressure-relief valves to
add additional flow capacity. It also
includes a calibrated weight system
that gives the operator the flexibility
to adjust the set pressure of this
valve on the top of the tank, eliminating
the need to remove and retest in
the shop on a test stand. According
to the manufacturer, users can easily
maintain, adjust settings and replace
the L11F in the field, reducing downtime
and lowering operational cost.
Furthermore, the product runs at a
wide range of flowrates. Made with
aluminum casting, stainless-steel
seats, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)
pallets and zinc-coated carbon-steel
weights, the L11F comes in sizes
from 2 to 6 in. (50 to 150 mm) and
is available with leakage rates compliant
with API 2000 requirements. -
