Barthélémy Toguo, “Road to Exile”, 2018. Wooden boat, cloth bundles, glass bottles, and plastic containers

Currently on view at Tampa Museum of Art is Time for Change: Art and Social Unrest in the Jorge M. Pérez Collection. The exhibition highlights art from around the world that focuses on social issues.

From the museum-

“It is enough for the poet to be the bad conscience of his age”, stated Saint-John Perse in his 1960 Nobel Prize acceptance speech. Something similar could be said when artists address the transformations of society. We should not ask for measurable political action when their role is to point out, to render evident, to shake us from indifference. Art may not provide answers, but most of the time it interrogates and proposes uncomfortable issues, almost like rubbing salt in a wound. Artists are seldom celebratory, nor do they usually provide solutions-art’s potency lays in the symbolic efficacy of the actions it proposes more than in the practical effects they entail. Paraphrasing Brazilian poet Ferreira Gullar, “art exists because life is not enough.”

Time for Change is structured around six themes or nuclei: Entangled Histories, Extraction and Flows, Artivism, State Terror, Spatial Politics, and Emancipatory Calls. The sections are organically linked and establish dialogue and correlations among artworks that do not necessarily illustrate an argument nor are they contained by one. Entangled Histories proposes essential questions: how do we remember as a society? Who is forgotten by History, and for what reasons? Extraction and Flows examines displacement of peoples (usually forced), as well as the unequal logic on the territory. Artivism: Art in the Social Sphere focuses on political unrest and public protest on the streets. State Terror signals how protest is countered with repression and violence. The fifth section, Spatial Politics, reflects on modern architecture and its role in creating segregated communities. Lastly, Emancipatory Calls summons to reclaim difference, in the understanding that a more just society can only be built on respect for one’s right to be different.

A comprehensive look at the Jorge M. Pérez Collection reveals a tendency towards art with an interest in social change- art that examines the conflicts and contradictions of contemporary society, art that critically analyzes historical events and reframes them in the present. Many of the 60 works on view, due to their size or complexity have rarely been exhibited and are shown together for the first time in Time for Change.

About the main work pictured above, Barthélémy Toguo’s Road to Exile, from the museum–

In 2018, the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill, New York hosted Barthélémy Toguo’s first solo exhibition in the United States. While on site at the Parrish he made Road to Exile, a large-scale installation highlighting the plight of refugees, in particular African migrants in search of a better and safer quality of life. The installation features a life-sized wooden boat that rests on glass bottles. A metaphor of the dangerous voyage across the sea, the bottles represent the fragile line between life and death. The boat nearly overflows with bundles wrapped in brightly colored African textiles and serve as stand-ins for the body. In Road to Exile Toguo employs imagery of the boat as a means of escape rather than a vessel for exploration or adventure.

Below are images from the exhibition as well as some information on a few of the works.

Rashid Johnson, “A Place for Black Moses, (2010), bottom right sculpture; and Christopher Myers “How to Name a Famine, a Fire, a Flood”, 2019, left wall piece

From the museum about the above work-

Storytelling anchors Christopher Myers’ artistic practice. Working in a range of media, he mines history and creates art that links the past to the present. Myers’ tapestries, such as How to Name a Famine, a Fire, a Flood draws on the rich tradition of quilt making as a quiet yet radical form of resistance and protest. The stories depicted center on the effects of globalization on individuals and more specifically, communities of color. In How to Name a Famine, a Fire, a Flood, Myers portrays three different natural disasters linked to climate change. With vivid color and patterned fabric, he illustrates the impact and devastation of these catastrophic events in neighborhoods with minority populations.

Carlos Garaicoa “La habitacion de mi negatividad (The Room of My Negativity)”, 2003, 39 ink and pencil drawings on rice paper and toy train installation

About the above work from the museum-

Carlos Garaicoa works in a variety of media, ranging from installation, photography, and video to performance and public interventions. His early work in the 1990s focused on the urban decay of Havana as result of its political climate and economic strife. La habitacion de mi negatividad (The Room of My Negativity), turns Garaicoa’s lens inward. In this installation, comprised of toy trains and drawings of medical instruments, the artist explores his psyche and subconscious. The train’s engine pulls words that represent Garaicoa’s negative thoughts. Each train is connected to thin red thread that acts as a vein or conduit for the negative thoughts to travel. Arrange in a curved form, the train shapes mimic brain waves or the slink of a snake. Garacoia’s drawings of medical tools serve as mechanisms in which the negatively could be excavated from one’s mind.

Esterio Segura, “La historia se muerde la cola (History Bites its Tail)”, 2015, (statue bottom left); Anamaría Devis, “Infinito (Infinite)”, 2018 (upper right)

Anamaría Devis, “Infinito (Infinite)”, 2018, Ink on paper

About this work from the museum-

Anamaría Devis’ large-scale installation Infinito (Infinite) represents the artist’s study of African history in San Basilio de Palenque, Colombia. Escaped slaves founded Palenque and it was the first free town in the Americas during colonial times. While researching this history, Devis discovered that in this region of Colombia, braided hairstyles worn by Africans served as escape maps. Braid patterns reflected safe points in the area’s topography. This silent form of resistance inspired her to look at other bodily topographies like the characteristics of fingerprints, which also had names associated with cartography such as crossing, island, and fork. Devis then began to create drawings that incorporated footprints, braid patterns, and elements of nature. From the drawings she made stamps and each panel of paper that comprises Infinito (Infinite) is rendered from Devis’ various imprints. The result is an abstract representation of the body and landscape visualized through mapping and codes.

Jonathas de Andrade, “A batalha de todo dia de Dona Luzia, de Tejucupapo (The daily battle of Dona Luzia, from Tejucupapo)”, 2022 Images printed on raw falconboard

About this work from the museum-

Jonathas de Andrade collaborated with the Brazilian theater company Teatro Heroínas de Tejucupapo to create a visual reenactment of the historic 1646 Battle of Tejucupapo. For nearly 25 years, between 1630 and 1654, the Dutch occupied the northeast of Brazil including Tejucupapo, a small community in the city of Goiana. During the Battle of Tejucupapo, a brigade of black and indigenous women forced Dutch soldiers to retreat by arming themselves with household and farm objects. The Teatro Heroínas de Teiucupapo commemorates this female-led rebellion each April by restaging the battle with local actors.

Artist Jonathas de Andrade celebrates the power and courage of Tejucupapo’s women with his large-scale photographic installation A batalha do todo dia de Tejucupapo (The Battle of Tejucupapo). The work on this wall, A batalha de todo dia de Dona Luzia, de Tejucupapo (The daily battle of Dona Luzia, from Tejucupapo), presents everyday objects from the home of one of the women participating in Teatro Heroínas de Tejucupapo. This inventory explores the daily struggles, as well as strength, of Brazil’s black and indigenous women that have spanned centuries.

This exhibition will close on Sunday, 8/27/23.

I'd imagine Symmetra of all people would've wanted to have spoken with Jaime when he was first brought to the watch point. May I ask how the conversation went??

God, I haven't updated my kid continuity work on AO3 in like 6 months. Plus I can always use more Jaime fics!

------

He could feel her eyes on him in the mess hall, and it made him wonder how good he was at pretending he couldn't tell when someone was watching him. He had gotten very good at it in his time being homeless, in the same way he had gotten good at making himself virtually invisible to waitresses and store clerks and grocery store workers and librarians. It never had to be about hiding, per se, just, being part of the landscape. But he knew he didn't have that luxury here. There came a point where he finally couldn't resist swinging a look over his shoulder at her, and she seemed to take this as some kind of prompt. She really wasn't subtle at all, the way she moved--graceful, but not subtle--she still kept that gaze fixed on him even though she went over to get a refill of water rather than approaching him directly. He shifted his focus back on loading his plate. Some kind of skillet pasta today, the tomato sauce more North African than Italian.

"Hello," a clipped Indian accent spoke up and Jaime's shoulders bunched up.

He glanced over to see the woman holding a cup of water next to him. Her long dark hair was tied back in a low bun, and there were a few marks of age about her face that put her at maybe her early forties. She seemed to be wearing a specialized headset that hugged around the back of her head and had some kind of visor--not glass.

Hard-light. Jaime's stomach tensed.

"You are the new ward, correct?" she tilted her head.

Ward? Jaime thought, Yikes.

"It's--" he stammered a little, "A temporary situation."

"Ah," there was a slight, thoughtful raise of her eyebrows at this. She caught herself, "Where are my manners-- You may call me Satya. I was on a mission when you arrived here, but when I returned I was very interested in meeting you."

"Listen--" Jaime started, not exactly sure how to continue that sentence, only that the continuation of the sentence had to somehow get him out of this conversation.

"Would you like to join us?" Her voice overlapped with his and he clammed up. His brain scrambled for a moment, already uneasy enough with the way so much of this watchpoint was in-tune with other parts--it was definitely more eclectic than Vishkar had been, but he wasn't in a hurry to throw his lot in with a bunch of gun-toting strangers. But then he saw she was moving her arm and realized she meant 'join us' in a more singular, momentary context. She was gesturing with her arm towards a table where a familiar figure was sitting. The boy from the garden. The boy who picked oranges. The boy who walked through a teleporter--what was his name again? He was now looking considerably more intimidating in a crisp pale turquoise shirt and reading a book. Glancing between her visor and the hard-light projector visible on the wrist of his book-holding hand, he remembered what Rei had said:

"Samir's mom--well, one of Samir's moms--well, long story short you're not the first person to leave Vishkar."

"Sure..." the word came out of him slow and hesitant, but the brightening of her face seemed to respond as if he had been far more enthusiastic.

As they approached the table, the way Samir looked up from his book indicated that his mother clearly had not run this by him before bringing Jaime over.

"Samir, I found the new boy," she said, as if that was not already obvious.

"That's... great," he said, materializing a hard-light bookmark with a finger flick and setting the book aside. Satya took her seat next to her son as Jaime pulled out a chair cringingly loudly and sat down.

"So you're... still here," said Samir, glancing at Jaime up and down. Jaime had cleaned up noticeably himself, but he was stuck in ill-fitting borrowed clothes--a pair of weather-resistant joggers from Hanzo and a frankly awful souvenir shirt that read 'I Survived the Stampede!--Calgary 2082' from Cassidy.

"Yeah, you know, it's just a temporary situation. I've got a lot of other stuff going on. They want me around because I might have important intel on the inner workings of Vishkar," Jaime threw the phrase out carelessly.

"Really!" Satya perked up, "Precisely what I wished to speak with you about."

Horror washed over Jaime. "Oh-- g-great." His mind flubbed for a second and he just ended up forking up several penne and shoving them in his mouth to buy himself some time. It was then that he remembered that he really had come here to eat.

"It... has been some time, but I've come to understand that in my time at Vishkar, I had a very unique situation," Satya was talking now, "You must understand, I grew up internalizing all of their doctrines. It's been very difficult to un-learn their most harmful philosophies, but I feel I've found a wonderful support group here."

"Mom--" Samir started warily., "He seemed pretty spooked by the Vishkar stuff when I first saw him--"

Jaime would have interjected with an 'I wasn't spooked' here but he was too busy eating and Samir went on.

"--I don't know if we really should jump into this right away."

"Well he said he would only be here temporarily," said Satya, "And if he was raised by Vishkar as well--"

Jaime knew he was eating far faster than either of them. He couldn't really help it. It had turned into force of habit from the weeks of convincing that one grocery store girl to sneak him day-old bread and pre-made sandwiches that otherwise would have been thrown out. Walk off, eat fast where they can't see you. It reminded him of how Javi's dog would immediately go under a table to eat any treats you gave it, and he hated it. Here he was sitting, and both Samir and his mom were watching him as he shoveled down three huge bites in quick succession as they were speaking.

"We can drop the subject, if you'd prefer," Satya said, glancing back at Jaime.

Jaime ruminated on this for two chews. "...so you were an orphan, too?" he said after a hard swallow, washed down with a gulp of water.

"N-no," said Satya, "Goodness--You're an orphan?"

"Pff--I can take care of myself," Jaime said on reflex, before shoving down another forkful of pasta.

"I knew Vishkar took in many of the orphans following the Crisis but..." Satya had only just started to trail off.

"Oh yeah they still do it," Jaime waved his fork around, "Talon, Null Sector, natural disasters, sicknesses blazing through refugee camps... still plenty of orphans popping up every day. Vishkar says they're 'taking the weight off of foster systems' and stuff like that but what they really want is bodies."

"...bodies," Satya repeated.

At the end of the day you’re just a body in a world that has no problem adding you to a growing pile of bodies, Sanjay's voice sounded at the back of Jaime's head and he shoveled down another bite to hide his shudder. Satya was still staring at him as he chewed so he swallowed and tried to elaborate.

"Workers. Architechs. People who can brainwash more people for them. I think it's because trying to use locals for labor like they did in Rio just caused the whole Lúcio revolution, so they figured they should just bulk up their internal numbers so they can overwhelm wherever they put their developments. I didn't have hard-light aptitude so they probably had me lined up for ditch digger or something," Jaime took another bite of pasta. He was honestly a bit too focused on the food to notice the intensity of both Satya and Samir's eyes fixed on him. He glanced up at Satya. "So wait, if you're not an orphan--how did that work?"

Satya seemed to snap out of a trance. "My parents believed I would have more of my needs met with Vishkar, and besides, it was a much better quality of life than what we had in Hyderabad." She said this with some embarrassment. "I suppose, in many ways, given that Vishkar supported me so thoroughly, I couldn't have known that they were shaping me into a tool to meet their ends."

"I guess your parents really believed in that 'Better World' stuff, huh?"

"I like to think they did. I believed in it for a long time, after all... but there are some days I'm not sure. Some days I question whether they did it because it was... easier," Satya said a bit distantly.

This managed to get Jaime's chewing to slow. Satya gauged his reaction, then gave a glance to Samir, and caught herself. "Apologies," she stammered, "That was... not appropriate for a first conversation."

"Yeah, we can change the subject if--" Samir started.

"No, it's... I always wondered what Vishkar was like if you had... hard-light aptitude," his fork was scraping up sauce at this point, trying to get enough for a bite, and his mouth seemed to be moving faster than his thoughts, "I had a friend, but Vishkar separated us because he was good at hard-light. The last time I talked to him... we fought. He said Vishkar was better than our old school, and I said he was a traitor and he was turning into one of them... but things were harder for him...before Vishkar took us in. He was smart, but things were harder for him. That's why he stuck with me... and then I was a jerk to him, and I still blame Vishkar for it, but... I shouldn't have said what I said to him. Sometimes I wonder if I said it because it would be easier than saying goodbye."

Jaime couldn't remember the last time he had mentioned Javi to anyone. He hadn't said the name, at least, but that was a hell of a lot more than he had spilled with Sanjay. He could feel a heat at the back of his eyes, but he just grabbed his water cup and gulped it down along with the memories. None of this seemed like anything that would mean anything to people who fight Vishkar, anyway.

Samir seemed to note the mutual holes both Jaime and his mother had dug themselves into and lightly cleared his throat. "So... speaking of parents... what's life like with Cole and Hanzo?"

Jaime inhaled the last gulp of water on reflex at the juxtaposition of the word 'parents' and the names 'Cole and Hanzo' and coughed for a solid minute.

"Do you need--?" Satya started but Jaime kept coughing for another 30 seconds.

"They're," Jaime wiped a tear away and had one final cough-and-a-half, "They're all right."

"I imagine it has all been very jarring, coming here," said Satya.

"I mean I get around, it doesn't take a lot to shock me," Jaime said, leaning back in his chair.

Samir was giving him that same skeptical look from earlier. He was lying, of course, but he had already said too much about Javi and wasn't about to dig himself deeper. Being here honestly was a bit of a reversal from his time in the orphanage. Back there, the other kids hung on his every word while the adults did everything in their power to stomp him back down. Here, he could feel everyone even close to his age group side-eying him, while the adults would give him these deep, searching looks like he had washed ashore from a shipwreck, even if he was sure they knew what he was saying was bullshit. Maybe that was just the thing with adults, looking at you like you were always a problem to be solved.

"Hanzo did say you must have remarkable resilience," Satya mused.

"Hanzo said that?" Jaime blurted out.

"Did he not tell you so?" Satya blinked.

"...Usually he just stands weirdly far away and asks if I'm hungry every 15 minutes. Or he's just... messing around with those arrows."

Satya scoffed and smiled slightly. "Yes, that sounds like him."

"What about Cassidy?" asked Samir.

"I don't know what his deal is. It's like he'll start to talk to me, but then he'll just... back off right when we're actually getting into it. Like he'll 'remember' that there's something he suddenly has to do and he'll be like, 'How's about we put a pin in this?' And then whoosh. Gone."

Samir snorted a bit at Jaime's Cassidy impression but Satya muttered something to herself under her breath in Hindi.

"And he never gives me stuff in person. He just leaves things with a stupid little note like 'Don't feel like you have to use this, but it's there for you just in case.' Like why don't you just ask if I need it, then? Like, in person?"

"They might not want to overwhelm you," Satya offered, "On a certain level, they know what it means to be alone for a very long time. Cole can be a bit oafish, but he means well."

"Mom," Samir said in a slight 'come on,' tone of voice.

"I said he means well," said Satya with a shrug and a smile.

Jaime wasn't sure he liked how easily she assessed the whole 'Alone for a long time' thing. Was it obvious? God, of course it was obvious. He just spilled all that weepy shit about Javi. "I mean it's not like I care, I'm going to be out of here in a few days, anyway," he said with a dismissive wave of his hand.

"Of course," said Satya. For a second Jaime felt a familiar anxiety flare at the top of his stomach. There it was. There was that Vishkar--that I'm agreeing with you because you're clearly dumb enough to think you have any control over this when you clearly don't 'Of course.' But it wasn't, not quite. It didn't have the same contempt. It was... warm. It was the same warmth a parent said 'of course' when their kid was telling them about the rocket ship they had made with cardboard boxes. "If there's any way our family can help you before then--" she put a hand on Samir's shoulder at this, "Do not hesitate to ask." Samir grimaced at the implication of being pulled into the 'maximum family hospitality' schema before Satya said, "Samir?"

"Right--" Samir glanced back at Jaime, "My brother and I are around the watchpoint if you need us." He said this with steady eye contact that said, 'you have a better bet of coming to us before the adults.' Jaime had to admit, he kind of liked the weird organization-within-an-organization thing the kids here had going here. They still definitely had that loyalty to the whole of the Watchpoint that freaked him out, but they also had their own way of going about it--likely because the adults around here were always rushing off on missions. Marti was Samir's captain before Jack was--he could tell that right away.

"I'll keep that in mind," Jaime said, before quickly adding, "For the next few days, obviously."

"Obviously," said Samir and Satya at the same time.

That made Jaime's ears burn.

“The ILPS Committee for Africa and West Asia salutes the Palestinian resistance for their latest bold and inspiring campaign against the occupation of Palestine by the Zionist state. On October 7th, the resistance launched “Al-Aqsa Flood,” a land, sea, and air operation against the Israel Defense Forces in Gaza. The operation was so named to commemorate the desecration of the Al-Aqsa mosque by Zionists in May 2021. Some 5,000 rockets were fired at targets in Israel. Palestinian fighters raided military camps and fought battles along the settlements in Gaza. Small boats harassed Israeli warships to prevent them from attacking resistance forces. Prisoners were taken by the fighters in hopes of effecting an exchange for the more than 5,300 Palestinian political prisoners being held by Israel.

ILPS recognizes the right of the Palestinian people to defend themselves and oust the occupying forces. For seventy-five years, Palestinians have suffered from Zionist occupation, and Gaza in particular, has been under siege for fifteen years. The water sources of the people have been destroyed. Their homes, some of which have been occupied by Palestinian families for generations, have been demolished and their crops and farms bulldozed. Their land stolen and taken over illegally by settlers. Palestinian civilians are subjected to collective punishment. Many have died due to indiscriminate bombings and attacks by the Israeli Defense Forces which uses weapons and ammunitions supplied by US Imperialism and other Western imperialist powers whose complicity and strong support must be denounced. Since Nakba Day, May 15th 1948, when Palestinian villages were burned and the villagers were killed or driven out from their homes by the Zionists, Palestinians now comprise the largest stateless community in the world. Some 5.9 million registered Palestinian refugees live in West Asia alone.”

[ID: Image one is a notification that says, "Raquel's iPhone was found near Rua Carvalho Araújo 15B 9500-040 Ponta Delgada Portugal at 7:27 PM AZOST". Image two is a partial screenshot of an email with the address redacted that reads:

Hi there!

I found your missing iphone yesterday while snorkeling at Praia Das Milicias close to Ponta Delgada in Sao Miguel! Ilt was at the bottom of the ocean!!! I ○ Airbnb, rinced it with water before turnina it back on as to remove as much galt and sand as possible. Good thing newer smart phones are water-resistan... End ID]

how do i contact apple bc actually i am currently going through an internet story but i don't have twitter.

which is to say that 3 weeks ago i was on vacation to the Azores with my family. due to girl pockets (iykyk) my phone fucking jumped into the ocean literally only because i lifted my leg above a 30 degree angle to avoid a wave. the phone was black. the sand was black. it was night. i had waded in about 2 feet deep. i think the guardian angel i have just closed his eyes.

i immediately reached a state of peace about it. maybe it was a sign from god or the universe. don't we all need to unplug. let's live in the moment or whatever. also, let's give the crabs technology, i just think it would be funny.

i come home. i haven't backed up my phone in a while (lol since 2022) and the shitty replacement i got is literally useless. i lost pictures of newborn babies. i lost contacts. i have to wrangle things together that need 2-factor authentication with a phone that's in the fucking ocean.

and then today i got this notification.

What in the everfuck. are you kidding me. this thing was IN THE OCEAN. like the ACTUAL OCEAN. like originally "find my phone" was reporting it as ABSENT.

and then i get this email:

she found it while she was SNORKLING. at the bottom of the actual ocean. it's been there for 3 weeks.

IT STILL WORKS.

which is to say. like how do i get her anything she wants, forever. i don't have any money but i would buy her a fucking boat of iphones to thank her. how do we get apple to give me a commercial. if nothing else i just want people to know that someone found my phone at the bottom of the ocean because how fucking fake of a story does this even sound.

what's going on. hello????????

#HOLY FUCK #storytime #described #described by me #op please add this id to the original post to make it more accessible! in plain text w/o a readmore :) make any edits necessary!

Strongest Abrasion and Corrosion Resistance Wastewater Storage Tanks for Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP)

In wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), storing and managing treated or untreated water efficiently and safely is critical to both operational success and environmental protection. A major concern in wastewater storage is the potential for corrosion and abrasion due to exposure to harsh chemicals, fluctuating pH levels, and constant interaction with wastewater effluents. To address these challenges, Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd. (Center Enamel) offers Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) wastewater storage tanks that provide the strongest abrasion and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term reliability in even the most demanding conditions.

Why Choose Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) Wastewater Storage Tanks?

At Center Enamel, we specialize in designing and manufacturing Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks, which combine the structural integrity of steel with the superior corrosion and abrasion resistance of glass enamel. These tanks are ideal for storing treated and untreated wastewater, chemicals, and sludge, as well as other industrial effluents that are typically found in WWTPs.

As a leading storage tank manufacturer in China. At Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd., we excel in providing high-quality bolted steel tanks tailored for the diverse needs of fish farming. Our extensive range of bolted steel tanks includes Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks, fusion bonded epoxy tanks, stainless steel tanks, and galvanized steel tanks, each designed to offer exceptional durability, efficiency, and adaptability for aquaculture applications.

Here are several key reasons why Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks are the best choice for wastewater storage:

1. Exceptional Corrosion Resistance

The most significant advantage of GFS wastewater storage tanks is their corrosion resistance. Wastewater often contains aggressive chemicals, salts, acids, and alkalis that can quickly degrade traditional metal tanks. The Glass-Fused-to-Steel coating, bonded to the steel at high temperatures, creates an impermeable surface that is highly resistant to corrosion from chemical exposure. This protective glass layer prevents rust, scaling, and microbial contamination, ensuring that the tank remains structurally sound for decades.

Unlike other types of metal tanks, GFS tanks can resist corrosion from:

Sulfides and Chlorides: Common in wastewater treatment processes.

Acidic and Alkaline Solutions: Often present in the effluents.

Environmental Factors: Such as moisture, temperature extremes, and UV exposure.

2. Superior Abrasion Resistance

In wastewater treatment, tanks are frequently exposed to abrasive particles, including sediments, sludge, and solid waste. Over time, these particles can wear down the surface of a tank, leading to potential leaks and loss of structural integrity. The Glass-Fused-to-Steel coating offers exceptional abrasion resistance, making it the perfect solution for WWTPs handling high volumes of solid waste or sludge. The smooth, glass surface prevents particles from embedding and wearing away the tank's steel body.

3. Long Service Life

Due to the abrasion and corrosion resistance of GFS tanks, they can last significantly longer than traditional steel or concrete tanks. These tanks are designed to withstand the toughest operating conditions without compromising their structural integrity or function. At Center Enamel, our GFS tanks are built to last for more than 30 years, reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.

4. Leak-Proof and Maintenance-Free

The smooth, non-porous surface of Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks prevents the buildup of contaminants, making them not only leak-proof but also easy to clean. The enamel coating ensures that no water, chemicals, or effluent will leak from the tank, offering peace of mind and reducing the risk of contamination. Additionally, the low-maintenance nature of these tanks reduces the cost and labor associated with upkeep.

5. Resistant to High Temperatures and pH Variations

In many wastewater treatment processes, the temperature and pH of the water may fluctuate significantly. GFS tanks are designed to handle high temperatures and pH variations without compromising the structural integrity of the tank. Whether the wastewater is acidic or basic, or the system operates under high heat, the Glass-Fused-to-Steel coating ensures that the tank remains resistant to both extreme temperatures and aggressive chemical interactions.

6. Cost-Effective Solution

While GFS tanks may have a slightly higher initial investment compared to traditional storage tanks, their long service life, low maintenance costs, and resistance to corrosion and abrasion make them a cost-effective solution over time. The durability and performance of these tanks offer significant return on investment (ROI) by reducing the need for repairs, replacements, and tank downtime.

Key Features of Glass-Fused-to-Steel Wastewater Storage Tanks

Mirage NEO: Revolutionizing Fitness with the Mirage NEO Aqua Underwater Treadmill

In the world of fitness, innovation continues to push the boundaries of what we once thought possible. One of the most exciting breakthroughs in the realm of rehabilitation, low-impact exercise, and performance training is the introduction of underwater treadmills. Specifically, the Mirage NEO - Aqua Underwater Treadmill has quickly gained recognition for its advanced features, user-friendly design, and profound health benefits. If you're looking to take your fitness routine to the next level, or you need a cutting-edge solution for rehabilitation, the Mirage NEO is an option worth considering.

What is the Mirage NEO Aqua Underwater Treadmill?

The Mirage NEO Aqua Underwater Treadmill is a state-of-the-art exercise machine designed to provide a low-impact, high-efficiency workout by utilizing water resistance. Unlike traditional treadmills, which can put strain on your joints due to gravity and impact, the Mirage NEO leverages the buoyancy of water to create a gentle yet challenging workout environment. This makes it ideal for people recovering from injuries, those with joint issues, or anyone seeking to maximize their cardio and strength-training efforts without the associated wear and tear on their body.

Key Features of the Mirage NEO Aqua Underwater Treadmill

Low-Impact, High-Resistance Workouts The Mirage NEO is perfect for people who want a challenging workout without placing excessive stress on their joints. The water's buoyancy reduces the impact on your body, making it an excellent choice for individuals recovering from injury or those with conditions like arthritis.

Adjustable Water Levels One of the standout features of the Mirage NEO Aqua Underwater Treadmill is the ability to adjust the water level to suit your fitness needs. By altering the depth of the water, users can change the intensity of their workout. Lower water levels provide less resistance, while deeper levels increase resistance, giving you full control over the difficulty of your session.

Customizable Speed Settings The Mirage NEO offers customizable speed options, ensuring that everyone—from beginners to seasoned athletes—can tailor their workout to their desired pace. Whether you’re using the treadmill for rehabilitation, endurance training, or toning, the Mirage NEO’s adaptable speed settings make it a versatile tool.

Full-Body Workout While traditional treadmills focus primarily on the lower body, the Mirage NEO Aqua Treadmill offers a comprehensive workout experience. The resistance provided by the water forces you to engage your entire body, including core, arms, and legs, resulting in enhanced muscle strength and endurance.

Advanced Technology The Mirage NEO is designed with cutting-edge technology, including a user-friendly control panel that makes adjusting the settings simple. The treadmill also features non-slip surfaces, ensuring safety during workouts, even as water levels rise.

Why Choose the Mirage NEO?

Ideal for Rehabilitation and Therapy If you’re recovering from surgery, injury, or chronic pain, traditional exercise equipment might not be suitable for you. The Mirage NEO Aqua Underwater Treadmill offers a unique solution by providing a low-impact workout that helps you regain mobility, strengthen muscles, and recover without risking further injury. Many physical therapists and rehabilitation centers incorporate underwater treadmills for precisely this reason.

Fitness for All Ages The Mirage NEO’s versatility makes it a great option for people of all ages. Whether you’re a senior looking to stay active without strain, or an athlete seeking an alternative workout to enhance strength and endurance, the Mirage NEO adapts to your needs.

Weight Management and Cardiovascular Health Water-based workouts are excellent for weight management because they engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously, leading to a higher calorie burn. Additionally, the water resistance helps improve cardiovascular endurance, making the Mirage NEO Aqua Treadmill an ideal tool for boosting heart health while keeping the impact low.

Mental Health and Stress Relief There’s something undeniably soothing about being in water. Exercising in a pool or underwater treadmill can relieve stress, improve mood, and contribute to overall mental well-being. The Mirage NEO provides a calming exercise environment, making it an excellent option for those seeking both physical and emotional benefits.

Final Thoughts: Is the Mirage NEO Aqua Underwater Treadmill Right for You?

If you're serious about investing in your health and want a piece of equipment that offers maximum results with minimal strain on your body, the Mirage NEO - Aqua Underwater Treadmill is an exceptional choice. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, looking for a way to improve fitness without joint pain, or simply want to incorporate a unique and highly effective workout into your routine, this treadmill delivers in every aspect.

The Mirage NEO combines cutting-edge technology with the natural benefits of water, creating a solution for both casual users and fitness enthusiasts alike. When you invest in the Mirage NEO Aqua Underwater Treadmill, you’re investing in a future of healthier living and sustainable fitness.
