factor of 3 to 5) with the added ability
to sustain a low total-suspended-solids
concentration, says the manufacturer.
Furthermore, the AquaPrime system
operates in less than 10% of the footprint
of conventional primary settling
basins and offers the added advantage
of improving gas production (energy
harvesting) in the anaerobic digestion
system due to significant reduction in
organic materials. The cloth-media filtration
system produces consistent
effluent under variable influent conditions
that are typical in both primarytreatment
and wet-weather applications.

Configurable visual and audible
indication of processing status
The EPL-TL-1X10W-C-PA LED signal
light (photo) is equipped with an
audible horn and approved for use in
hazardous environments where explosive
and flammable gases, vapors
and dusts exist or have the potential
to exist. This explosion-proof signal
stack light is designed for processingstatus
indications in manufacturing
facilities. The signal light is equipped
with a single 10-W LED lamp that produces
an optional color output of red,
blue, green, amber, purple or white. -

Energy harvester simplifies
wireless technology adoption
This company has adopted advanced
thermal-energy harvesting as a power
source for its wireless products. Power
Puck thermoelectric energy harvesters
(photo) convert ambient heat
commonly released in industrial processes
into electricity for powering
Rosemount wireless transmitters. Perpetua's
Power Puck energy-harvesting
solution is especially advantageous to
wireless devices in power-intensive applications,
where a conventional power
module may require replacements
more frequently. The Power Puck thermoelectric
energy harvester provides
continuous, reliable power for the life of
the transmitter and includes an intrinsically
safe power module for backup
power. - Emerson Process Management,

This sanitary vent
offers setpoint flexibility
The Model 1100 sanitary vent (photo)
is a stainless-steel sanitary vent designed
to operate at multiple setpoints
as a breather valve to avoid vacuum or
overpressurization inside a tank or piping
system. This unit comes with a true
sanitary blanketing connection and is
designed so that it can be used with
this company's VCI Model 1088 sanitary
blanketing valve. Available in 2-,
3-, 4- and 6-in. sizes, the Model 1100
is offered 316 or 304 stainless steel.
The weather screen, which prevents
debris from entering the tank, is also
constructed of stainless steel. Pressure
setpoints can range from 0.43 to 3.42
psi, while the vacuum setpoint range
is 0.069 to 0.385 psi, depending on
the size of the unit. - Cashco, Inc.,

New assessment service
for parts management
This company's Parts Fingerprint service
captures equipment configurations,
audits parts stores, and develops
recommendations
and
replacement
strategies to reduce production risk
and find cost efficiencies. The service
can help users reduce the risk of
production loss due to non-available
parts, and to cut costs by identifying
and addressing potential weaknesses
in the parts supply chain. Industry
trends such as lean manufacturing,
compressed product lifecycles and the
prevalence of third-party parts suppliers
have driven companies to find new
ways to maintain required part inventories
to sustain production demands.
According to the company, customers
may underestimate their critical spare
parts needs by as much as 60%, and
many users have no visibility into escalating
production risks due to parts
inventory deficits. Parts Fingerprint
aims to address these issues. - ABB,

Spray-on insulation that
also prevents corrosion
Heat Shield EPX-H2O (photo) is a twopart
water-based reactive prepolymer
that provides thermal insulation and
corrosion prevention for a wide variety
of industrial applications. Designed
