Activated carbon is greatly utilized in the ingesting water remedy method for the removal of pesticides, algae blooms and to tackle taste and odour concerns. Traditionally, Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) beds are utilized. On the other hand, these are enormous capital expenditure jobs. Further to this, the functioning expenses stay very superior, as the GAC calls for regeneration at common intervals. PAC nonetheless can be simply and properly dosed into the potable water, applying an ejector.

The process is designed to deliver an all-in-a single PAC dosing alternative that can be bodily moved from site to site. This unique bundle permits water remedy organizations to acquire the TransPAC and move it amongst their websites. Frequently algae or taste and odour concerns are seasonal and quick-expression, so the capacity to move the unit to the unique site with an problem is a enormous value saving for the water company. Inside of the secure 20 ft transport container is a bulk bag dosing frame, an intermediate hopper, 800 litre header tank, automated HMI handle panel and ejector dosing process.

As the TransPAC is entirely containerised, the whole unit was lifted by way of a Hiab lorry and driven to the issue WTW site in Yorkshire  on the similar working day.

How it is effective The dosing unit employs an ejector to entrain and dose the PAC into a water stream. The process is supplied with both of those a bulk bag dosing frame and silo feed chute as standard, making it possible for the site engineers to pick their preferred technique of transferring PAC into the hopper, possibly from changeable 1 m3 bulk luggage of PAC or a immediate silo feed.

The PAC enters the compact hopper at the again of the unit where by it is then screw fed to the substantial intermediate hopper. Subsequent, the suitable dose rate (decided by the site engineers) is screw fed to the variable pump and this is then instantly entrained into the ejector. Ejectors work by applying a superior-tension motive (in this scenario, water pumped from the header tank) to entrain a secondary liquid or reliable, in this scenario the PAC. The PAC and water slurry combination is discharged from the ejector and out into the connecting pipework. The dosing unit has no ‘wet mixing’ moving parts, which gives unrivalled dependability and it’s very low upkeep handle philosophy even flushes the lines thoroughly clean on shut-down.

Roast dinner round the Rock: onboard the iconic Sparkman & Stephens design Kialoa II

The iconic 1963 S&S Kialoa II drew quite a crowd in Plymouth after the Rolex Fastnet Race, we took a tour

Kialoa II in the 2017 Rolex Fastnet Race Rolex/Carlo Borlenghi

Without question one of the yachts that attracted the most lingering glances on the busy pontoons of Plymouth Yacht Haven at the Rolex Fastnet Race village last week was Kialoa II, the famous1963 S&S design.

The languid, elegant lines of the 72-footer drew plenty of comments about being 'a proper yacht', while experienced racing sailors could often be spotted examining the hefty deck gear and explaining to younger crews how things were done in the days before retractable poles and asymmetrics.

Kialoa II was sailed in the 2017 Rolex Fastnet Race by her current owners, brothers Paddy and Keith Broughton. Paddy described the race as an 'absolute hoot', with Kialoa'slong waterline length helping eat up the miles on the upwind early stages before her considerable sail plan, bolstered by a mizzen staysail, saw them fly back from the Rock to finish in just over four days.

In straight lines she goes fantastically, commented Broughton. Where there's a fetch, and you've got a reasonable amount of breeze but not so much that other boats can get up and plane, the waterline line length really comes into its own.

She leans over a little bit, puts all those beautiful lines in the water all the way from the long bow to the transom and just charges! We were doing steadily 10-11 knots for ours on end and it was wonderful.

The team included stalwarts from the original Kialoa maxi campaigns, includingAustralian navigator Lindsay May, who has over 40 Sydney-Hobart Races to his name.

Kialoa II was one of the very first aluminium yachts, and was built of aircraft grade metal for legendary owner Jim Kilroy in 1964.She entered most of the major ocean races, as recounted in Kilroy's famous autobiography, Dare to Win. Victories includedwinning class in the Transpac Race in 1965, a year after her launch. She was also first home in the punishing 1971 Sydney-Hobart Race, a year which saw the fleet beating for much of the 600-mile course to Tasmania. Her previous attempt at the Fastnet, in 1969, saw her cross the line 2nd, to take 5th overall. Unlike the laterKialoa yachts,Kialoa IIalso cruised many of the world's oceans.

Originally a sloop, she was reconfigured with a trim tab and mizzen mast in 1967, and races today with a very similar sail plan arrangement to the days when she would have been skippered by Kilroy.

The Broughtons bought Kialoa II just over a year ago, and have worked on bringing her back to racing spec with experts such as Hugh Welbourn. One of the earliest things they realised on sail trials was that the yacht, which has deep, deep bilges, pitches fiendishly unless sailed with full fuel and water tanks.

Much of the original deck gear remains, including twin two-speed Barient coffee grinder pedestals with foot clutches and a metal chain uphaul on the inboard end of her mighty spinnaker pole.

While the original 'Magna-tron', a forerunner of today's microwave ovens, is no longer in the galley, the yacht's unique gimbaled serving counter remains. It was used to full effect by the Broughtons' crew, who enjoyed a full roast dinner served from her vintage galley on their trip around the Rock.

They now plan to sail her in some of the classic ocean races that Kilroy competed in, starting with a delivery sail down to Australia for the 2017 Rolex Sydney-Hobart Race starting on Boxing Day.The plan is to set off from the UK for Cape Town, before heading across to Albany, Western Australian, letting the 53-year-old design stretch her legs in the southern Indian Ocean. In doing soKialoaII would join an elite group of yachts which have competed in both the Fastnet and Sydney-Hobart Races in the same year on their own keel.

Watch out for a in-depth feature onKialoa II in a future issue of Yachting World magazine.

Sailing Day 6, halfway

Today marks, more or less, the halfway point between Hawai’i and Marina Del Rey. We sailed north to get out of the prevailing west tradewinds and took a right turn and are now in the high at lattitude 36º; pointed towards California. The rest of yesterday was pretty uneventful with sunshine, the occasional puffy white cloud, peaceful rolling seas, a few stray pieces of floating garbage, and the whirring of the engine and gentle vibrations from the prop.

We had rack of lamb for dinner last night and finally pulled down the jib and gave in completely to motoring on my early a.m. shift while going through a squall in the darkness. We weren’t far from sunrise when the autopilot got lazy and forced me onto my toes and behind the wheel, as it was rounding up from the freshening breeze. I was wide awake (usually sleepy on the late shifts, but never sleeping) for the rest of my watch with adrenaline. The moon came up like a hunk of aged cheddar, yellow orange, and immediately hid behind distant clouds. What the sun paints with color and vivid detail the moon paints with haunting beauty and mystery. The moonlit seascape was vast and filled with billowing cumulous clouds fringed in orange. The moon was shattered and scattered over the throbbing black sea. I suppose it defines a journey: in our daily life we see a moment of a scene, or a thing, or an emotion, or a situation, with little dimension of time. On a journey we experience it all unfolding, every moment, which compunds the depth and richness of the experience.

I skipped breakfast, had tea during my watch since the lattitude brings with it the cool. I slept after my watch ended at 7:30 am and woke up around noon to Jim asking me if I wanted chili dogs. I responded with a jesture: me rolling out of my bunk and into the satee. Chili dogs with onions and cheese, salsa and guag and chips. Yum! I spent the afternoon writing music, singing, and playing uke. There was a great amount of pounding of the bow against the sea, or vice versa, which made the whole boat shudder violently. Twice in a minute for an hour. It was driving me insane but fotunately it subsided.

No boats have been spotted for days, which isn’t abnormal for this part of the trip. I love the isolation this trip affords. Everyone has acclimated and is in good spirits. We’re getting goofy, presumably out of boredom, but I enjoy it. I am very happy and a big breath of fresh air only seems to exacerbate my condition!

Sleepy time.
