  • Glass piping designed to meet stringent needs KIMAX borosilicate glass drainline systems, from SCHOTT North America Inc., are designed for transport and neutralization of acid waste. Glass drainline piping is sustainable and offers the lowest life-cycle cost in the industry, with adaptability and modularity as key features. According to the manufacturer, KIMAX also exhibits low emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the highest corrosion resistance compared with competitive products, and will not burn or emit toxic fumes in the event of a fire. KIMAX glass drainline is designed as a sustainable, long-lasting acid waste piping system.

  • New point-of-use system produces Type II pure water The Barnstead DIamond TII Type II water system produces water directly from the tap using a combination of reverse osmosis, UV oxidation, and deionization. Users can draw directly from the unit for small volume needs or from 30- or 60-L reservoirs for larger volumes. An optional reservoir UV lamp ensures water in storage remains free of bacteria. The LCD display provides data for resistivity, conductivity, TDS, operating pressures, and reservoir water level. Resistivities are available up to 15 Megohm-cm; TOC values are below 10 ppb.
