Membrane filtration system

The Vibratory Shear Enhanced Processing (VSEP), developed by New Logic International, makes it possible to filter effluent streams without the fouling problems exhibited by traditional membrane systems. The VSEP membrane system significantly reduces BOD, COD, TDS, TSS, and color bodies from effluent streams discharged from box and bag plants as well as pulp and paper mills, thus minimizing treatment costs.

Belt conveyor

The air-supported belt conveyor system from Hudco Industrial Products consists of an airtight chamber that runs the entire length of the belt. The topside of the chamber has a formed trough, which corresponds with the troughing rollers. By eliminating the rollers and the associated sag, operational friction is eliminated.

Steam traps

TLV's medium and high-pressure SuperHeat steam traps virtually eliminate steam losses and their associated energy waste. The traps are maintainable due to the easily accessible internals, which significantly reduce the requirement for replacement of the entire trap. The traps also feature extremely soft near-to-steam temperature discharge for safety and environmental considerations. SuperHeat steam traps are recommended for turbines, superheated drips, soot blowers, flash pots, and thermal drains.
