EXTRA FLEXIBLE NEW
MULTIPURPOSE HIGH TEMPERATURE FLEET HOSE FROM HYDRAULINK
www.engineeringnews.co.nz 25
Acompact and highly flexible new multipurpose
high-temperature machinery
hose is being introduced by Hydraulink
that simplifies servicing and enhances safety in
maintaining fleet vehicles and machinery.
The Fahrenheit H2CXT two-braid hose can
convey, in a single hose type, multiple liquids and
gases, including hot oil, air, water, glycol and inert
gases, while also meeting SAE J30 requirements
for carrying diesel fuel.
This simplicity and versatility – enabling one hose
type to be used where previously different types
were required – is complemented by the new
hose’s tight bend radius, which facilitates easier
installation and routing in fleet machinery. Such
machinery ranges from forklifts and materials
handling machinery to heavy truck and construction,
civil engineering, mining, drilling rig,
energy, public utility and process engineering
applications including agribusiness machinery
and vehicle distribution fleet.
“Fahrenheit H2CXT saves time, money and
inventory where owners and operators of
machinery fleets need easily installed quality
product to avoid downtime and excessive
inventory caused by use of multiple hose types,”
says Hydraulink Group product manager Garth
Woodhouse.
“The new hose’s tough, compact construction
and tighter bend radius make it easier to install
in tight spaces, which is both a convenience and
efficiency feature as well as an OH&S advantage,
particularly when maintenance teams are working
to deadlines on machinery vital to production.”
The high quality product – which carries Mine
Safety and Health administration (MSHA) cover –
is available individually or as part of Hydraulink’s
service provided through more than 400 service
outlets throughout Australasia.
Features include:
• Blue highly abrasion resistant MSHA cover for
durability and safety
• All sizes, from 04 (13.4mm outside diameter,
OD) up to and including -24 (46.8mm OD)
• 150 deg C maximum operating temperature
(121C max with air)
The hose’s 121C hot air rating makes it
suitable for a wider range of compressor/
hot air applications than more conventional
high-temperature rubber hose types. The
new hose’s larger sizes are also ideal for
bull-hose air lines on drilling rigs.

which is equivalent to more than 3,200 kg heavy
fuel oil/day. This heavy fuel oil is worth approximately
$NZ729,000 (this assumes a plant running
330 days a year at full capacity and a Heavy Fuel
Oil, HFO, price of US 0.46c a litre.)
“A huge bonus – in addition to the environmental
benefits – is that the biogas produced by the
anerobic process can then be captured, stored
and used to substitute for expensive and polluting
fossil fuels, such as bunker oil. So users get
both clean water and green energy,” says CST
Wastewater Solutions managing director Michael
Bambridge, who is Australasian distributor for
the GWE technology, which will be shown at
the Ozwater exhibition in Melbourne from May
7-9. The technology is also available throughout
New Zealand from CST Wastewater Solutions’
Kiwi representative, Pieter Groenewegen. “Other
clean green technologies – such as wind and
solar power – get more headlines than wastewater
to-energy technologies for their great potential
and benefits. But this technology is a quiet
achiever that has proven its benefits in Australasia
and worldwide and is applicable to a wide range
of industries and applications locally.”

HOW QUIET ACHIEVER TECHNOLOGY
CAN TURN AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM INTO A PROFIT
A clean green wastewater technology that
can turn an environmental problem into
a source of profit is being introduced to
Australia and New Zealand by CST Wastewater
Solutions.
The Global Water & Energy (GWE) technologies
involved use anaerobic digestion to consume
organic contaminants in industrial and municipal
wastewater streams, removing typically more than
95 per cent of the previously troublesome content
by transforming it into biogas (primarily methane).
This resource can then be used to fuel industrial
processes such as boilers, or to generate
electricity, replacing expensive fossil fuels in both
cases.
One of the most recent applications of the
technology globally involved a central American
brewery, Cervecería Centro Americana (CCA),
which is adopting GWE technologies to convert
wastewater into biogas while achieving effluent
quality improvements of 97% in organic matter
removal. CCA’s new wastewater treatment system
is designed to remove approximately 97% COD,
or chemical oxygen demand – a measure of the
organic content in the water. It will produce up to
4,800 Nm³/d of biogas at 76% methane content,
