T
he Water Environment Federation
(Alexandria, Va.;
www.wef.org) is holding its
annual Weftec exhibition
and conference from Sept. 27-Oct.
1, 2014 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention
Center in New Orleans, La.
The event will feature numerous
technical sessions and committee
meetings, as well as a host of exhibitors
showcasing new products and
services for the water and wastewater
industries. This show preview
highlights a small selection of the
products that will be on display at
this year's Weftec exhibit hall.
Install this flowmeter in areas
of extreme flow conditions
The FPI-X dual-sensor electromagnetic
flowmeter (photo) provides
accurate and repeatable measurements
under extreme flow conditions,
including environments with
swirl and other flow disturbances
in the line. Designed for use in close
proximity to cascading or multiplepump
arrays, the FPI-X mag meter
delivers ±0.5% accuracy. Even when
installed in areas where establishing
a symmetrical velocity-flow profile
is extremely difficult, such as
near pumps, valves, elbows or headers,
the FPI-X performs to specification.

These diaphragm pumps feature
a simple valve and head design
This company's Series 7000 mechanically
actuated diaphragm
pumps (photo) simplify operations
GEA Heat Exchangers
by eliminating the use of contour
plates on the liquid side of the diaphragm.
Designed with water and
wastewater applications in mind,
the pumps' straight-through valve
and head design allows for improved
flow characteristics. Selfpriming
Series 7000 pumps feature
a maximum flow capacity of up
to 1,135 L/h at 150 psi, with suction
lift exceeding 20 ft on waterlike
chemicals. Additionally, Series
7000 pumps can handle viscosities
as high as 5,000 cP. Booth 1529

Polypropylene filter media
resists erosion and buckling
BIOdek polypropylene (PP) trickling
filter media provides an alternative
to traditional polyvinyl chloride
(PVC) media used in biological
wastewater-treatment processes.
BIOdek filter media can accommodate
many process requirements,
types of flow patterns and channel
sizes for a variety of trickling applications.
Since PP is not as stiff as
PVC, the filter media can be more
easily inspected without fear of
damage to the media - personnel
Note: For more information, circle the 3-digit number
on p. 76, or use the website designation.
Universal Flow Monitors
can walk on top of the media (photo)
for inspection without the requirement
of a protective walking grate.
Also, PP media is more resistant
against erosion and buckling due
to its lower density when compared
with PVC. Booth 2939 - GEA Heat
Exchangers, Bochum, Germany

These PVC flowmeters are
built with no moving parts
The P-420 line of vortex-shredding
flowmeters (photo) are intended for
use in process water, brine, corrosive
fluids and chemical-treatment
applications. These flowmeters are
constructed of conventional PVC or
chlorinated PVC, without moving
parts that can stick, bind or coat.
