Factory-Refurbished OFRU Solvent and Wastewater Recycling Systems Available

OFRU Recycling GmbH have advised us that they currently have a range of factory-refurbished reclaimation systems available.

The solvent systems currently available range in size from 30 litre vessels (reclaimation rate approximately 8 litres/hour) to 500 litre vessels (reclaimation rate approximately 150 litres/hour).

The water systems range from 7 litres/hour to 31 litres per hour reclaimation rates.

Happy Bugs mean Savings in Time, Effort and Money

If you manage, produce or work with wastewater, this is for you.

Strathkelvin’s “Strathtox” respirometer will tell you within 10 minutes whether your bacteria are working as they should and how they will respond to change by measuring their actual respiration rate.

Why is this important? By knowing immediately when to feed the bacteria less, aerate them less and when to load them more can save time and money! Keep them happy and it will pay off!

If your company feeds wastewater to a treatment plant and there is a risk of introducing toxic compounds that could result in killing bacteria and exposing the company to heavy fines, you too need to know how bacteria react to your waste stream.

Don’t take our word for it; arrange for a demonstration. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you will get results!

Summer is Coming. Will you have any problems with drinking water?

If you are a city or town dweller, hopefully not. If you live in a rural area, or have a holiday house at the beach or in the country, good quality water for domestic purposes – including drinking – could be a scarce item.

There may be a supply of fresh surface water nearby; from a river, creek, lake or irrigation channel that is totally unsuitable “as is”, or the town water supply may be dodgy, especially in old country towns.

The Fresh Water Filter Company provides “whole-of-house” microfiltration systems that will screen out dirt AND all microorganisms, including harmful bacteria, such as e.coli.

Two systems are available, one for dwellings with up to four people, the other for 5 persons and above. The smaller unit will provide 300,000 litres per year and the larger unit 600,000 litres/year at a rate of 720 litres/hour and 1440 litres/hour respectively.

Cost? About 40 cents/kilolitre over 5 years, at full capacity.

Why Buy Technology? (When you can Rent instead!)

Companies invest in technology; instruments, machines, etc., because they pay for themselves in increased productivity, better quality, fewer rejects, less rework and more sales through increased customer satisfaction.

But however much the technology is needed, the cry goes up from managers, “We don’t have the capital”, or “It takes 6 months to go through the Capex approval process”. Yet these same managers are empowered to authorise recurrent expenditure within their expense budgets.

Rental of technology provides many benefits….

* Get the equipment you need NOW… and pay as you use it.
* Flexibility… upgrade when you need to, even before the end of the rental term.
* Rental payments fully tax deductible.
* Off balance sheet
* Include everything you need for a total solution
* Options to purchase, continue rental, upgrade, return, at end of rental period.

Managers who refuse to consider the option of renting needed equipment are doing themselves and their companies a disservice.

A $20,000 instrument or machine can be rented for less than $30/working day over 4 years. If you have the authority to spend $30/day, ask yourself how much such an investment can save each day, and then call us.
