Chemical Engineering May 2022 - 44

Show Preview
IFAT 2022, the world's leading trade
fair for water, sewage, waste and raw
materials management takes place
from May 30 to June 3 at the Munich
fairgrounds (www.ifat.de). More than
3,300 exhibitors from 58 countries will
be displaying their equipment in 18
exhibition halls covering 260,000 m2
of exhibition space. In addition to the
exhibition, there are a number of special
supporting programs, including:
The Future of Water - Access and
Quality; Circular Economy and Resource
Efficiency; Sustainable Cities
and Municipalities; Intelligent Drives
and Zero Emissions; and Mineral
Waste Cycle and Sustainable Road
Construction. There is also a special
area for start-ups, which spotlights
innovators, future collaborations,
profitable-production processes and
specific technology solutions.
The following is a sample of some
of the products being exhibited at
IFAT 2022.
Emile Egger & Cie
A new generation of
control valve
The IBS-series (photo) is a redesigned
and technically revised version
of this company's Iris processcontrol
valve. The new series features
a compact structure with shorter installation
lengths. The visual position
indicator has been completely revised
and is clearly visible from three
sides, even from a long distance;
this is in addition to the electronic
feedback of
the variable-speed
Endress+Hauser
drive position to the SCADA system.
The valve's gas-tight design without
spindle feedthrough opens up
many new possible applications for
regulating chemicals and industrial
gases. Leak-monitoring and flushing
systems can be connected without
changing the design. Its robust design
and self-cleaning segments also
make the valve a reliable regulator
for raw sewage or sludge. Hall B1,

Lödige Process Technology
A cloud-based software service
for monitoring waterworks
Netilion Water Networks Insights
(NWNI; photo) provides reliable monitoring
of flow, pressure, temperature,
44
level, water quality and other measurements.
This software service connects
all levels of water supply systems, empowering
service providers and water
associations to manage multiple control
and data sources through a single
interface. These sources include field
devices, industrial controllers, datatransfer
components, data recording
and archiving devices, analysis and
forecasting tools, and others. NWNI
provides access to all measurement
data gathered in a water network and
transmitted to the cloud, whether its
users are accessing the system from
a control-room computer, via a laptop
at home, on a tablet in the field, or
from a smartphone on the move. The
web-based interface provides users
with complete system monitoring, and
when limit values are exceeded, or in
the event of failure, it delivers alarms
to users via e-mail, SMS or push notifications.

Mixers for efficient treatment of
sewage sludge
Continuous Ploughshare mixers
(photo) enable operators of municipal
and industrial sewage works to tailor
their treatment of wet and dry sludge
entirely to its intended use. Wet and
dried sludge that has been mixed and
treated inside a Ploughshare Mixer in
a continuous process boasts a pumpable
consistency, exactly the right
moisture content required to achieve
the necessary calorific value and a
particle size that ensures the proper
consistency. This provides reliable
protection against the sludge sticking
or turning into a paste. Additives
such as lime can also be added easily
during processing. Ploughshare Mixers
operate on the fluidized-bed principle.
Specially developed shovels
rotate close to the wall inside a horizontal
drum, creating a fluidized bed.
The process enables a high degree
of homogeneity and constant reproducibility.
Retention times, duration
of treatment and other process variables
can be modified depending on
the characteristics being sought. Hall
