42MNFebruary 2012 PRODUCTSFull Spectrum All-In-One Dye Pinpoints Vessel Leaks Tracer Products has developed a state-of- the-art fluorescent dye ? TP-3405CS Dye- Lite All-In-One dye ? which greatly improves leak detection in all oil-based fluid systems. It provides leak detection in gaso- line and diesel engine oil, as well as hydraulic and lubrication fluids. This dye has proven to be 100% effective with all UV and blue light lamps. Whatever type of inspection lamp is used, All-In-One dye will glow bril- liantly and spotlight every leak. The dye is circulated through the vessel?s fluid system, and will escape with the host fluid through the tiniest leak. www.tracerline.com Ultra-Filter Pad Capture Oil, Gas and Hydrocarbons Use Ultra-Filter Pads on construction sites, oil fields and other areas where spill containment is needed butshelters or structures are not available to keep rain water out. Polyethylene and PVC construction is lightweight but durable and folds for quick and easy storage or trans-port. Replaceable Ultra-X-Tex liners quickly capture oil, grease and fuel leaks and spills. The material allows clean water to pass through while filtering out hydrocarbons. Two-inch, foam sidewalls provide structure and contain stormwater during periods of rainfall, ensuring the linerhas ample filtering time. www.spillcontainment.com FURUNO's Certified BR500 BNWAS Furuno has devel- oped a reliable BNWAS system that not only meets IMO& USCG require- ments, but also deliv-ers a simplified, turn-key installation. The BR500 BNWAS (Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System) is IMO approved and USCG Certified, and is available for use on vessels in the United States. This important certifi- cation allows for use of the BR500 on vessels of all sizes and types in U.S. waters. The BR500 also meets the pro- posed CFR Subchapter M regulation §143.325 that will affect all towing vessels in the United States. www.furunousa.com J D Neuhaus Supplies Largest Crane System Yet The largest crane system constructed to date by J D Neuhaus has been deliv- ered for use on an offshore drilling rig. The semi portal design is equipped with JDN hydraulic EH 40-H monorail hoists operating on each of the twinbeams, each hoist providing an individ- ual lift capacity of 40 tons. Designed to comply with offshore operation, at temperatures down to -20ºC, survival conditions can also be maintained in the event of inclines from the horizontal of the rig of 3º with the crane loaded or 27º when unloaded and in potential-ly hazardous environments. A special safety feature is incorporated with the crane to cover any disruption to or total loss of the main power supply. www.jdneuhaus.com Magnalight.com Adds Light to Hazardous Line-Up Magnalight.com by Larson Electronics has announced the release of a high power, hazardous location approved, LED light fixture capable of replacing 400 watt metal halide units. The HAL-PRM-150W-LED incorpo- rates the latest in Cree led design and offers the high effi- ciency, high power and long life of LEDs in an IP65 rated fixture. Approvals for these lights include Class 1 Division 2, groups A, B, C and D, as well as UL1598 approval for outdoor marine use. These units provide 50,000 rated hours of life and are suited to locations where hazardous gases, vapors and flammable atmospheres may be present. www.Magnalight.com AVEVA releases AVEVA Surface Manager AVEVA has announced the release of AVEVA Surface Manager 12.1. AVEVA Surface Manager allows the transfer of surfaces to and from external systems, by the use of neutral standards offering greater flexibility and increased design quality. Features include the import of surfaces from various formats and graphi- cally displaying the shape of the geometry. If needed, it can repair defects detected in surfaces transferred from third-party applications in order to be successfully used in the AVEVA Marine applications. AVEVA Surface Manager can split surfaces so shipyards can protect the investment and confidentiality of hullforms by only dis- tributing the part of the hullform needed to do subcon- tract work. www.aveva.com/marine MN#2 (32-43):MN 2011 Layouts 2/6/2012 12:23 PM Page 42
