PB-900 TM Programmable Jar Tester
PB-900 Programmable 6-Paddle Jar Tester

Programmable Jar Tester Display

Top of Page

The Phipps & Bird PB-900 Programmable Jar Tester elevates jar testing to a new level of precision by utilizing four operator-programmable memory banks that offer virtually unlimited stirring capabilities:
> Each bank may be programmed with paddle speeds of from 5 to 300 rpm in 1-rpm increments.
> The programmable timer has run times of from 1 second to 60 minutes in 1-second increments.
> Programmable Audio Signals.
> The stirrer may be run sequentially through the memory banks, independently in any one of the memories, or continuously at a selected speed.

Turning the stirrer off does not erase the programmed information. The Programmable Jar Tester allows automatic transitioning from a fast mix/short run to a slow mix/long run, or any combination of speeds and times desired to replicate actual plant conditions and operation.

Constructed on a powder-coated steel uniframe chassis, the PB-900 features a fluorescent-lamp floc illuminator built into the base, and six stainless steel 1" x 3" paddles spaced six inches apart, adjustable to a maximum depth of nine inches. All jar testers are covered by a one-year manufacurer's warranty.

Each unit comes complete with a dustcover, and your choice of either: 
> Six standard, round, glass, 1-liter laboratory beakers, or
> Six square, acrylic, 2-liter  B-KER 2 Laboratory Jars.

All Phipps & Bird Jar Testers are available in either

120 V, 60 Hz or 220 V, 50/60 Hz models.

Column Filtration System
Column Filtration System

Column Filtration System - Rear View

Top of Page

The Phipps & Bird Column Filtration System (CFS) is used to simulate the process of a direct-filtration water treatment plant. It is an accessory piece of equipment for the Phipps & Bird Jar Tester with B-KER 2 Laboratory Jars (not included) (not included). 

After water samples are agitated through the flash and flocculation stages, the samples are allowed to gravity drain through filter columns, producing a simulated "clean" water test sample. A water line from the plant's service line can be connected to the device to backwash the filter columns when loading the granular media or when cleaning the media after a test procedure. 

The CFS consists of a number (4 or 6) of filter columns (2" ID clear PVC) and sets of valves to control the flow of water samples from the sample  B-KER 2 Laboratory Jar s and to service water during the backwash process. All components are mounted on a portable rack with casters. The CFS mounted on the portable rack can be used in the lab or moved to a more convenient location within the treatment plant.
Phipps & Bird would like to acknowledge the contributions of Scott Williams and Anton Treuting, Westwood Chemical, Middletoin, NY; Debbie Brink, AWWA Research Group, Denver, CO; and Daniel Bowers, Eugene Bowers, and Dale Newkirk, Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, La Verne, CA for their role in developing this product.

Crown Press TM Belt Press Simulator
Crown Press Belt Press Simulator

Top of Page

Now you can accurately simulate a full-size belt press, duplicating the actual dewatering process, with the Crown Press Belt Press Simulator.

The unique "crown" design allows the sludge cake to react as it would under normal operating conditions, including the effects of free water motion across both the top and bottom belt faces, shear, capillary channeling, sludge migration, response to pressure changes, and the effect on filtrate flow using different types of belt material.

Without shutting down the big machines, the Crown Press Belt Press Simulator permits the operator to: 
> Prescreen to select the best polymers and belt types.
> Determine proper belt tension.
> Estimate optimum machine throughput.
> Estimate sludge cake moisture and filtrate clarity.
> Determine sludge migration.

The Crown Press Belt Press Simulator comes complete with plow simulator, carrying case, and a comprehensive manual.

IncuMate II TM Incubation Control Module
Incumate Incubation Control Module - In Use

Highly reliable BOD test results
don't require highly priced incubators.

IncuMate Incubation Control Module

Top of Page

Turn virtually any refrigerator into a laboratory incubator with the IncuMate II Incubation Control Module. It provides the consistently reliable test results you require at a surprisingly affordable price.

Specially designed for use by smaller water and wastewater treatment facilities, the IncuMate lets you utilize a refrigerator to perform any incubation procedure requiring a temperature range of from 5° to 40°C, including: biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), trihalomethane formation potential (TFP), heterotrophic plate count (HPC), and Coliform.

Just place the IncuMate unit on a wire shelf in a refrigerator, make the simple electrical plug-in connections, and turn it on. The IncuMate's built-in heater and circulating fan operate continuously to provide thorough air circulation at the desired temperature. At start-up or after the temperature control has been reset, the temperature will stabilize in about an hour. Monitor the temperature with a thermometer.

For the smaller lab that performs a nominal number of incubations each day, the IncuMate II Incubation Control Module is an economical alternative to high-priced incubators.

> Dimensions:   5 ¼" x 8 ¾" x 3 ¾"
> 1-year warranty on parts and labor
