Atmospheric Tanks

Where do you need it?

At any point in a process where liquids are stored. Available as day tanks, and vertical or horizontal storage tanks, they are suitable for use with chemicals such as sodium hydroxide, sodium chloride, hydrochloric acid, and sulphuric acid. They can also store Reverse Osmosis permeate, and raw, ltered, or demineralized water.

What is it?
Atmospheric Tanks are vertical or horizontal cylindrical vessels for storing liquids that are not under pressure. These storage tanks are made of various materials to suit the stored liquid, and include appropriate connections for lling, overow, draining, and outlet. Glegg tanks also include an access manway and all required instruments.

Features
Available in six sizes from 100 to 2,000 gallons, and ve materials: High Density Polyethylene, FRP, Carbon Steel, Lined Carbon Steel, and 316L Stainless Steel. Horizontal and vertical models. Strainers in the outlet line from chemical tanks. Level and temperature transmitters and switches are available.

Benets
Wide selection of sizes and materials to meet your specic needs.

Choose the orientation that best ts your site layout. Traps sludge and prevents plugging of chemical metering pumps. Provides local and remote control and/or indication.

Rotary Lobe Blowers

Where do you need it?

Blowers are widely used in multimedia and greensand lters to provide air scouring. Pressurized air blown into the media loosens particles and contaminants. Other uses include air scouring of resins in condensate polishers, and mixing resins in mixed bed demineralizers.

What is it?
Rotary Lobe Blowers provide pressurized air in processes where adequate oil-free, high-quality air is not readily available. The name refers to the design used for the impellers. Compared to other air supply systems, rotary lobe design provides increased volumetric efciency, lower noise levels, and longer life due to better impeller balancing.

Features
Standard air ow indicator. Originial pressure switch to monitor discharge pressure. Optional noise enclosure. Standard carbon stell piping meets ANSI B31.1 standard. Optional 316L stainless steel piping available.

Benets
Accurate monitoring of blower operation. Allows most effective airow rate to be set. Provides alarm signal to alert operator of a system malfunction. Further reduces noise level. Meets industry standards. Provides added corrosion resistance.

Chemical Feed Equipment

Where do you need it?

Chemical feed equipment is widely used in water treatment to inject pretreatment chemicals in precise dosages. Pumps can be activated manually or automatically, based on the signals from process sensors. Controllers dispense the specic dosage to ensure optimum process performance.

What is it?
Chemical feed equipment includes the mixing tanks, pumps and piping that feeds chemicals into a process. The Positive Displacement Metering Pump is most commonly used. It provides the required volume of liquid regardless of the discharge pressure. Dry or powdered chemicals are pre-mixed with water in a measuring tank to form a liquid for easy pumping. Glegg systems include all necessary pumps, measuring tanks, skids and control panels.

Features
Premium grade polyethylene measuring tanks. Pumps selected for specic chemicals and custom-sized to handle required ow rates and head pressures. Optional mixer available for dry or concentrated chemicals. Optional instrumentation includes pressure, ow and temperature switches and measuring tank level controllers.

Benets
Corrosion-resistant to a wide range of chemicals. Maximum efciency for applications with trouble-free, long-life operation. Single-source reliability, optimum effectiveness. Single-source reliability, control system designed for your specic needs.

Chemical Regeneration Equipment

Where do you need it?

Chemical Regeneration systems are used with ion exchange treatment units. The normal service cycle of an ion exchange unit exhausts the resin with ionic contaminants from the service water. Chemical regeneration equipment restores the resin using a regenerant chemical that removes ionic contaminants. Sulphuric acid is the standard regenerant for cation exchange resins, with hydrochloric acid as an option. Sodium hydroxide is used to regenerate anion resins.

What is it?
Chemical regeneration systems restore the resin in ion exchange units after a normal service cycle. A Glegg system typically includes a chemical storage tank, a transfer pump to move chemicals through the resin, plus appropriate instrumentation and control to regulate the regeneration process. Chemical Regeneration Equipment delivers the correct quantity of regenerant chemical to the resin bed at the proper ow rate, strength, temperature and pressure.

Features
Y-Strainer. Two 100 percent capacity pumps. Pulsation dampener. Welded connections.

Benets
Catches sludge to prevent buildup inside piping. Provides continuous and reliable operation. Eliminates the excessive hammering sometimes caused by metering pump action. Prevents the risk of chemical leaks.

Heat Exchangers

What is it?
A heat exchanger transfers heat from a uid owing on one side of a barrier to another uid owing on the other side of the barrier. They are normally used to transfer, eliminate or recover heat between liquids. They may also used between steam, air, hydrocarbon vapors or other gases; and liquid metals such as sodium or mercury.

Features
Two types available: shell and tube, or plate and frame. Designed and fabricated to ASME standards. All parts in contact with the process liquids are stainless steel.

Benets
Meets your specic needs. Assures safety and insurance compliance. Long life and corrosion resistance.

Pump Equipment

Where do you need it?

Pumps are used anywhere in the process where a liquid is transferred from one point to another and to build pressure for a process. * Water treatment examples include: feed pressure to raw feed water backwash water for lters cleaning solution from the RO skid waste mixing in a neutralization tank recirculating liquid with a process RO feed * See "Chemical Feed Equipment" section for descriptions of chemical feed pumps.

What is it?
Glegg provides a range of pump styles to suit your particular applications. These include singleand multi-stage centrifugal pumps, as well as submersible pumps. The centrifugal pump is usually the best choice for most water applications. Pumps can be activated manually, or automatically by signals from pressure or level switches, as well as PLC outputs.

Features
Standard pumps rated at 50 to 100 psi. Check valves provided on centrifugal models. Manual or auto switch provided on control box. Pressure gauges and isolating valves are standard.

Benets
Cost effective; handle most types of service. Prevents backow into pump when it is not operating. Lets operator select best operating mode for specic conditions. Facilitates testing. Conrms proper operation, facilitates testing and service.

Hot Water Tanks

What is it?
A hot water tank is a vessel containing an immersion heater and the necessary pipes and valves to provide hot water to a process. The programmable immersion heater maintains the temperature of the water in the tank. Cold water is added to achieve the required process water temperature.

Features
Designed and fabricated to ASME standards. Thermal relief valve conforming to ASME code. Corrosion-resistant immersion heaters with Incolloy heating element sheaths. Sophisticated temperature control loop, with controller, pneumatic actuator and blending valve.

Benets
Assures safety and insurance compliance. Provides thermal expansion protection. Trouble-free operation, long life. Accurately maintains temperature.
