New Products
Transport hazardous
goods with this new IBC
The new Ecobulk SX-D intermediate
bulk container (IBC; photo) is designed
for transporting hazardous
goods, such as flammable or highly
combustible liquids. The IBC has already
received the quality seal of the
FM Global Group. It has a closed, fireresistant
hull in addition to the classic
steel grid. This hull is welded to
the integrated bottom plate, forming
a separate sealed containment basin
around the inner bottle of the container.
The double-wall construction
provides effective additional protection
against leakage and stops sensitive
liquids from escaping, even in extreme
situations, such as in the event of a fire
with very high temperatures. - Schütz

Ethernet remote I/O modules
with conditional logic computing
BusWorks NT series remote I/O modules
(photo) are now enhanced with
conditional logic. The conditional
logic increases the functionality with a
system of rules that allows extremely
complicated decisions based on relatively
simple " yes/no " questions. For
example, reading an analog or digital
input value can trigger an action to
happen as a result. This value could
be used to control a relay when one
or more conditions occur. Another example
would be when a discrete input
is " On " and a temperature threshold is
crossed. More complex math computation
and logic are also an option. The
modules support up to 64 conditions
using " if/then/else " statements. -

This natural-gas analyzer
now has new features
A new version of the J22 tunable
diode-laser absorption spectroscopy
(TDLAS) gas analyzer (photo) now includes
support for the Modbus TCP/
IP protocol, which enables users to
communicate with their analyzers
from a central network location in a
bidirectional, secure point-to-point
manner. Combined with the addition
of a native web server, this enables
users to easily monitor, configure and
service analyzers remotely. The web
server also can be used to optimize
the analyzer. - Endress+Hauser,

Silicone-coated gloves for
window manufacturing
The RepTek Grip silicone palm-coated
gloves provide adhesion resistance
paired with high cut resistance and
dexterity. Hot butyl can become
bothersome when it sticks to gloves,
shortening the life and costing more
money. This new silicone coating prevents
sealant or hot-melt buildup and
stands up to everyday wear and tear,
lasting up to six times longer than
most standard gloves. The GPD487
(photo) features a Hyperon ANSI cutlevel
A5 shell, and the GPD787 uses
the company's AeroDex Technology
to achieve cut level A7 protection.
Both options are cool and lightweight,
providing long-wearing cut-resistance,
so workers do not have to sacrifice
dexterity or comfort to stay safe.

A biosolids granulator for the
treatment of sewage
The biosolids granulator (photo) is a
dry-on-demand system for the treatment
of sewage sludge from municipal
and industrial wastewater-treatment
plants. It combines existing centrifuge-based
dewatering with proven
drying technology. This process, said
to be unique in the world in this form,
uses the dewatered solids ejected
directly from the rotating centrifuge
bowl. This is then immediately heattreated
and solidified by the primary
direct-heat input stream. The solid
particles are then further dried by the
secondary hot airstream in the main
drying chamber. The result is an improved
dried granule with up to 50%
dry solids and a consistent pathogen
count below 100,000 cfu/g. These
process results can be achieved
using either low-temperature (75-
90°C) waste heat available on site,
heat generated from a fuel source or a
combination of both. - GEA Group,
