Why Evaporate?

Many years ago wastewater management was becoming a significant challenge for many companies. Water-based wastes were usually generated in the normal course of day-to-day business, and there were typically multiple waste streams that need disposal.

Prior to the arrival of evaporation, companies used disposal technologies that still tied them to sewer discharge, or were forced to have large volumes of wastewater hauled off-site. Both approaches, however, increased - and continue today to increase - a company's exposure to ever-tightening environmental regulations and their associated costs. Today, wastewater disposal is viewed by many as a problem that can impact a company - and its management - in terms of both cost and liability.

Consequently, like other management problems, the options for wastewater disposal should be assessed carefully to ensure that companies select the best long-term solution to the problem. Such corporate focus is necessary, to meet the significant challenge of environmental compliance.

After considering the options for wastewater disposal, most environmental experts agree that evaporation offers industry the simplest and most effective long-term approach. In addition, evaporation offers tremendous flexibility and versatility - for both current as well as future manufacturing and disposal needs.

• Evaporation disposes as it separates, in one simple step
• Eliminates sewer discharge accountability - forever
• Handles, simultaneously, multiple waste streams and varying chemistries
• Low capital investment and low operating costs
• Installed as stand-alone or complement to separation technologies
• Simple to install, operate, and maintain
• Keeps wastewater disposal in-house, under management’s control

Reverse Osmosis System

Let's talk a little about Reverse Osmosis Systems

Standard Reverse Osmosis System Features

• Expandability – modular systems can be expanded to meet future requirements.
• Compact size – systems can be adapted to almost any plant layout.
• Liquid-filled pressure gauges – liquid filled gauges assure pulse-free readings and long gauge life.
• Line-mounted flow meters – offer consistent accuracy and corrosion- free performance.
• Computerized system design – accurately projects system performance based on each application’s requirements and operation conditions.
• Rotary vane pumps – the industry standard for trouble-free service, efficiency and corrosion resistance.
• Pressure relief valves – protect rotary vane pumps from over-pressurization.
• Control systems – adaptable to suit customer specifications.
• Premium control option – includes microprocessor-based controller for increased reliability and process control capabilities.
• Needle valves – included for precise flow and pressure control.
• Convenient layout – all gauges, meters and controls are mounted next to the control panel for ease of operation.
• Feedwater solenoid valve – shuts off feedwater when system is not operating.
• Low-pressure switch – protects the pump from cavitation and damage caused by inadequate inlet pressure.

Optional Reverse Osmosis System Features

• Fiberglass frame – assembled with stainless steel hardware for total corrosion controls.
• Stainless multistage centrifugal pumps and product pumps.
• Spiral wound, thin film composite membranes – provide superior salt rejection and product flow at low operating pressures and offer excellent membrane lift.
• Cartridge pre-filter – all polypropylene for corrosion control; five-micron filter included.
• Control panel – NEMA 4 control panels include product tank level control, optional product quality monitor, fuses, motor controls, switches and system logic.

 

 

 

Yarn Fibers

Thank you to Murray Fabrics for Providing this Yarn Fiber Chart!

Murray Fabrics knits tubing out of a wide variety of yarns to fit each customer's individual needs. The different fibers can be used for corrosive situations whether you are dealing with chemicals, extreme temperatures, or fire safety, as well as simple filtration.

Knit tubing can be made out of the following yarn fibers:

Fabric Type	Characteristics
Polypropylene	Offers good tensile strength and abrasion resistance. They perform well in organic and mineral acids, solvents and alkalies. Polypropylene is attacked by nitric and chlorosulphonic acids, sodium and potassium hydroxide at high temperatures and concentrations.  pH range: 2-12 Temperature: up to 190° F
Polyester	Offers good resistance to most acids, oxidizing agents and organic solvents. Concentrated sulfuric and nitric acids are the exception. Polyesters are dissolved by alkalies at high concentrations. pH range: 2-9 Temperature: up to 325° F
Nylon	Good tensile strength and alkali resistance but is degraded by mineral acids and oxidizing agents. This reaction is accelerated at high concentrations and temperatures. pH range: 2-8 Temperature: up to 250° F
Cotton	Good abrasion resistance and mechanical strength. It is, however, subject to rot, mildew and shrinkage.  pH range: 3-10 Temperature: up to 225° F
Acrylic	The resistance of acrylic fibers is excellent in organic solvents, good in oxidizing agents, minerals and organic acids and fair in alkali. Will dissolve in sulfuric acid concentrations.  pH range: 4-5 *Subject to other variables  Temperature: 260 to 280°F / 125 to 135°C
Nomex*	Resist attack by mild acids, mild alkalies and most hydrocarbons.  Resistance to sulfur oxides above the acid dew point at temperatures above 300°F is better than polyester.  Flex resistance is excellent.  pH range:  2 - 12 Temperature: up to 425°F
Kevlar*	Kevlar (aramid yarn) is chemically stable under a wide variety of exposure conditions; however, certain strong acids and bases can cause degradation, particularly over long periods of time and at elevated temperatures. pH range: 5-7  Temperature: Max operating temp 300-500°F / 149-260°C (Does not melt until over 800°F / 427°C)

Stock Yarns: cotton, polyester, polypropylene, nylon, acrylic

Special Order Yarns: We can provide Kevlar, Nomex, flame retardant, polyester/cotton blend.

Quantity: Tubing is sold by the pound and is measured by flat width and stretch.

Metal Finishing Equipment

Combating corrosion is a priority for manufacturers in a variety of industries, as the stability and integrity of manufactured equipment is a critical demonstrator of quality. That is why it important for these corporations to have dependable corrosion test equipment and plating machines on hand to ensure that products can hold up to the elements over time.

Auto Technology's equipment can help manufacturers meet external and internal corrosion standards, providing a valuable resource in the effort to ensure high quality manufacturing practices and deliver top products.

Pleated Filters

There is always something to consider when choosing filters. So let's discuss pleated filters today.

Pleated filters maximize filtration area for the space used.  These filters can have a variety of end caps;  epoxy, plastic, molded felt, custom. 

Some of these filter elements are self supporting while others have metal cores comprised of springs or screens. 

Applications for pleated filters include:

• Air intake filters for small gasoline engines.
• Freon gas filters for use in the refrigeration industry

Segmented Filtration

Adapts to a Variety of Factors 

MicroPure is a leader in Segmented Filters. They use a sandwich technique to self-seal filter media between specially designed segments of stainless steel, once they are clamped securely with a tension rod that connects the end segments forming the cartridge.

Looking at the cut-out; air, gas, or liquids flow into the openings on the outside of a segment, They then pass through the filter material and into the next segment. The filtered air, gas or liquid then exits through the center of the filter and out of the filter housing.

Some key points of Segmented Filters

• The number of segments and type of medium are determined by the application.
• Each filter medium functions independently,
• You can increase throughput by adding segments and filter media.
• The cartridge can be disassembled and reassembled quickly and easily.
• The two-way MicroPure design provides equal support for the filter media in both directions so you can reverse the flow if your application requires.
