2) Toxic Liquid Transfer Pump By:Magnatex Pumps, Inc. (Houston, TX)
Designed for the safe transfer of toxic, corrosive or expensive liquids,
the ME
R
series pumps incorporate a magnetic, sealless drive design that prevents
leaking. It is compatible with standard C-flange motors, and the
close-coupled
design helps eliminate motor alignment. The unit features an integral
impeller/inner magnet, stationary shaft and a compact rotor supported by
front
and rear bearings. Wetted parts of PVDF or optional ETFE allow these pumps
to
be used for transfer of most mineral and organic acids, bases, alcohols,
hydrocarbons, and halogens. Capable of transferring fluid up to 195?F, this
system can generate flows of GPM and heads up to 130 ft. Optional features
include a sole plate, flow switch, channel-mount base, thermostat, dry run
protector, leak detector, pressure switch, and long coupling.

3) Wastewater Treatment Chemistry. By:MOTHER Environmental Systems, Inc.
The company?s MYCELX chemistry, a substance applied to filter technology,
is
being used in wastewater and industrial process treatment. The applied
product
adheres instantly to oil, toxic BTEX chemicals and PCBs, causing them to
become
buoyant in water. It is designed to be highly water repellent to cut down
on
water absorption, and used products can be safely incinerated and used for
energy due to the high BTU value.
