This 2014-2018 Sustainability Benchmarking report provides a five-year snapshot of the data collected from participating breweries from calendar years 2014 through 2018. The Brewers Association has published three annual reports (2015, 2016, 2017) summarizing the results of breweries that have participated in the sustainability benchmarking project. Participation involves entering monthly usage ...
A highly efficient advanced oxidation process for the degradation of benzoic acid (BA) during activation of peroxomonosulfate (PMS) by nanoscale zero-valent copper (nZVC) in acidic solution is reported. BA degradation was almost completely achieved after 10 min in the nZVC/PMS process at initial pH 3.0. PMS could accelerate the corrosion of nZVC in acidic to release Cu+ which can further ...
We’re excited to share our recently released case study regarding BA Blacktop’s success with Intelex’s Quality Nonconformance and Standard Safety Incidents applications. With unique objectives to streamline and unify their Quality and Safety management programs to improve tracking and monitoring processes, BA Blacktop turned to Intelex to help them achieve these goals. The end ...

Abstract Surface decontamination efficacy determination of DeconGel™ 1101 on stainless steel, aluminum, and concrete surfaces contaminated with Organic Acids (benzoic acid (BA)) was performed with LC/MS (Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry) according to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) SW-846 Methods: 3500C (sampling) and 8321B (analysis). Hazardous Materials Relevance BA is an ...
Scandia doped dispenser cathodes were prepared by powder metallurgy method using mixed powder of scandia doped tungsten, barium–calcium aluminates obtained by sol–gel method. The scanning electron microscope observation results indicate that the cathode has submicron quasi–spherical tungsten grains structure with homogeneous distribution of Sc2O3 and barium–calcium ...
In the 2011 issue of this journal, we proposed that "The application of systems theory and systems thinking to the design and management of complex systems of systems and their associated life cycles can provide a valuable lens for the emerging methods in system of systems engineering (SoSE)" (Adams, 2011). Since that time we have had the opportunity to develop an axiom set that we feel is a ...
Adam Cantu, HSSE Manager for ExxonMobil Qatar will review security and its ties to safety at Fleming Gulf’s 6th Annul HSE Forum in Oil, Gas & Petrochemicals scheduled for 25- 27 October in Doha- Qatar. Most often than rare security is considered to be a different silo when spoken about HSE in an organization. Through this presentation, Adam will look at the typical security ...
The adsorption of Ni (II) from nickel electro plating rinse water has been attempted. Indion 225 and Dueolite C 20 cation-exchange resins through batch and column mode for the recovery of Ni (II), which showed a remarkable increase in sorption capacity. On the basis of isotherm analysis, more efficient adsorbent is chosen for column mode adsorption studies. The continuous-flow study was to ...
Batch regeneration of barium carbonate (BaCO3) from barium sulphide (BaS) slurries by passing CO2 gas into a pilot-scale bubbling column reactor under ambient conditions was used to assess the technical feasibility of BaCO3 recovery in the Alkali Barium Calcium (ABC) desalination process and its use for sulphate removal from high sulphate Acid Mine Drainage (AMD). The effect of key process ...
This study reports a sensible, accurate and economic method for continuous measuring microbial respiration. The measuring principle is an open system, with a continuous air-flow through. Evolved CO2 is absorbed and precipitated as carbonate by a Ba(OH)2 solution, causing a stoichiometrical decrease in ionic strength of the solution and in electrical conductivity. Conductivity and Ba(OH)2 ...
In response to concerns expressed by diverse stakeholders over the final draft of its Safer Consumer Product Alternatives (SCPA) regulations, the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) has delayed implementation of the regulations, which focus on chemicals and chemical ingredients in consumer products. The net effect of this recent development on the regulation of chemical substances ...
DELAGUA KIT CASE STUDY, DAISY ADAMS IN THE GAMBIA Daisy Adams undertook a study with Water for Africa in August 2014, in The Gambia using a DelAgua Test Kit. Daisy carried out sanitary hazard surveys and water quality testing on three water supplies in Tendaba Village; a dug well with hand-pump, a borehole, and a dug well with hand-pump and wind-pump. The work was carried out for ...
In recent years Facilities Management (FM) has developed as a know-how-oriented service. Equally, Building Automation (BA) has attained a prime importance in the creation of optimised operations through digital systems for measurement and control. The target of future solutions is to combine the central BA systems with the FM systems for an integrative usage. Within the development of open date ...
Super silence is not just convenient for wellpoint piston pumps. Now unnecessary noise pollution can be avoided in situations where work is often continued throughout the night, such as emergency dewatering, major dredge and offshore projects. The BA-C500S11 high volume pump is driven by a powerful 500 Hp diesel engine. Combined with the EL24-60 super silent canopy the sound level is ca.70 dB ...
For as long as there have been commercial corporations, the social performance of business has been continually contested. In spite of this, the corporate citizenship agenda of the 21st century continues to have a surprising lack of historical depth. This article investigates the conduct of the English East India Company (1600?1874), probably the most powerful multinational corporation in world ...
A fixed bed column packed with chitosan-sodium tripolyphosphate (CTPP) beads was used to remove aqueous Fe (III) ions. The adsorption of Fe (III) ions on CTPP beads was found to be dependent on operating conditions, such as the flow rate, adsorbent bed length, and feed concentration. The experimental data were assessed with Thomas, Adams-Bohart and Yoon-Nelson models to predict the ...
In response to the new Tier regulations, engine manufacturers have begun introducing significant design changes and sophisticated engine control systems to reduce the major pollutants in diesel exhaust fumes. All these innovations have culminated in the “Tier 4 final” diesel engines you will start seeing in the near future. In order to meet the Tier 4 final requirements, the engines ...
The most popular pumps from the dry self-priming BA series are now also available in stainless steel 316. These pumps are ideal for a variety of industrial applications, particularly with corrosive environments such as offshore or mining which demand high performance materials. The stainless steel casting parts are typically available from stock for the most popular BA models. This allows the ...
Background - In response to concerns vigorously expressed by diverse stakeholders over the final draft of the Safer Consumer Product Alternatives (SCPA) Regulations, the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) has effectively delayed implementation of the much-anticipated regulations. The net effect of this recent development on the regulation of nanoscale materials in consumer ...
