Xylem Sahara Inspection Platform

Xylem’s Sahara platform is an inspection technology for water pipelines that detects leaks and air pockets, captures live video, and maps pipelines. This in-line inspection tool collects multiple actionable data points in a single deployment, without disrupting service. The tool is easy to deploy through existing pipeline features 2 inches and larger. Technicians can navigate complex pipeline networks with this tethered tool. During inspections, they can stop and reverse the tool to investigate problem areas and mark the location above ground with sub-meter accuracy. Knowing a leak’s magnitude and precise location before you dig improves the efficiency of repairs, reduces shutdown times and limits excavation. Inline leak detection is an accurate, cost-effective screening approach for transmission mains that helps utilities address leaks, prevent failures, reduce water loss, and prioritize pipes for further investigation. 443-766-7873; www.xylem.com


Pumps

The wear plate utilizes notches and grooves with an oversized lacerating tooth designed to cut and shred organic solids before they enter the pump. Pumps are available in 3-, 4- and 6-inch discharge sizes. 419-755-1011; www.grpumps.com


Saniflo Sanicubic 2 VX

The Sanicubic 2 VX lift station from Saniflo provides above-floor drainage for multiple plumbing fixtures for a commercial structure, eliminating the need for costlier and less convenient pit installations. It is an ideal solution for projects where conventional, below-floor drainage is impossible or too costly to install. Equipped with two 1.5 hp motors, the lift station is capable of discharging effluent through either 2- or 4-inch rigid pipe and offers a shut-off head of 43 feet. It employs an internal air pressure switch for automatically cycling the unit on and off. The unit also comes equipped with a wired control panel, as well as an external audible and visual LED indicator alarm in the event that a pump experiences overload or ceases to operate. Featuring easily removable circular panels on top, the IP68 enclosure permits ready access to every major component inside. 800-363-5874; www.saniflo.com


Smith & Loveless CAPSULAR Underground Pump Station

The CAPSULAR Underground Pump Station from Smith & Loveless provides an operator-friendly and economical solution for large-flow pumping up to 20,000 gpm. With a Safe-Stair entryway module and integrated HVAC, the pump station design meets the OSHA definition of “designed for continuous human occupancy” and therefore does not require confined-space entry. It comes with simplified, yet powerful QUICKSMART touchscreen controls and a spacious interior offering a variety of user options including shelving, work desks, sinks and storage. The station is pre-engineered and fabricated, allowing for simple installation and future flow capacity increases via adaptation of additional pumps or larger rotating assemblies. 800-898-9122; www.smithandloveless.com


Vaughan Chopper Pump

Self-priming Chopper Pumps from Vaughan are designed to be easily accessed outside of the wet well while pumping waste solids at heavy consistencies, without plugging or dewatering of the solids.
