Cover Balls saving some serious £’s Back in 2011 Euro-Matic supplied cover balls, also known as Croffles to our friends at ABS, an aluminium bending factory plant which makes window frames and other supports for the building trade. With a large deep tank needed to bend the aluminium heated to 98 degrees, it is a costly job keeping such a large tank at the correct temperature.
Euro-Matic croffle cover balls have been saving money by preventing up to 90% of the water loss as they have happily given a protective layer on top of the water, but enabled the water level movement as they required.
How Long do they Last?
ABS, needed to do some serious repairs to their tank, and decided to give it a good clean out, as you can see from the photo, the old balls are still functioning, despite having a layer of degreaser on them which is causing a few of them to sink. So after at least 6 years, we supplied them with a lovely set of new 50 mm PP clear cover balls on a next day delivery, just in time for their tank to be refilled and functioning again.
What are the other uses? So for ABS, the primary reason for using the balls is to prevent heat loss and save on heating bills, but the other benefit is the reduction of escaped steam into the factory, which can cause corrosion to the roof and surrounding areas.
Where chemicals are used, toxic gases can also be prevented with the application of balls onto any water tank or liquid tank and a generally nicer working environment in factory processing plants can be created.
Early in the 1940s, the electric cooperative in Texas formed Texas Electric Cooperative, Inc., an association that was to supply certain activities that were common to their collective goal of providing the lowest cost electricity to rural areas of Texas. The Association and its divisions, as well as the cooperatives themselves, are owned by the people who receive their power from their individual cooperatives and all operate as a non-profit organization.

A wave of privatization is rolling through the water industry – at the environment‘s expense? In order to provide an answer to this question, the Environmental-Rating agency oekom research AG, Munich, put a number of water supply companies and manufacturers of water appliances to the environmental test. In results published today, oekom identifies the British water supplier Severn Trent as the environmental leader of the water supply group with a B grade in the overall Environmental-Rating. The Austrian water...
`In four years, half of San Diego may be filling its glasses with tap water that once ran through its toilets,` reported the San Diego Union-Tribune recently. A plan to mix `repurified water` with the City`s raw drinking water reservoir could become a reality, thanks to the wonders of water treatment technology.
Such a possibility elicits various reactions including disgust, marvel and fear. Although the public generally trusts and admires modern technology, politicians and even scientists fear the grave repercuss...
A county agency and a farmer in Vermont have teamed up to collect and compost food residuals and other organics. The Rutland County Solid Waste District (RCSWD), which is responsible for managing MSW for 16 cities and towns, began planning the food residuals composting program in December, 1996 with the Rutland Natural Resource Conservation District, one of 14 districts in Vermont that promotes agriculture, water quality and economic development.
The conservation district canvassed area farms to determine which...
Parr Paints solved its waste water problem by optimising cleaning processes and reusing the collected wash water in the next batch of product. The purchase cost ($800) of an off the shelf high pressure wash unit was more than offset by the $3000 pa savings in waste disposal and improved labour efficiency.
Background
Parr Paints Pty Ltd (Parr Paints) is a small family owned business that manufactures paints and textile coatings (latex adhesive). The company was started in 1971 and currently employs eight...
Introduction
The conventional sewer cleaning system can only bandaging the problems which cannot provide solution to prevent sewer line corrosion caused by toxic gases, organic constriction, deprived penetrating distance, generated large amount of hazardous organic and inorganic waste to increase environmental burden.
The Objectives of the present invention is an aggressor method providing series of advantages to overcome the shortcoming of the conventional sewer cleaning technologies such as (jetting,...

The guidelines represent state-of-the-art thinking on how to reduce pollution emissions from the production process. In many cases, the guidelines provide numerical targets for reducing pollution, as well as maximum emissions levels that are normally achievable through a combination of cleaner production and end-of-pipe treatment. The guidelines are designed to...

Introduction:
Co-metabolism is one form of secondary substrate transformation in which enzymes produced for primary substrate oxidation are capable of degrading the secondary substrate fortuitously, even though the secondary substrates do not afford sufficient energy to sustain the microbial population. An emerging application involves the injection of water containing dissolved primary substrate (e.g. methane, toluene) and oxygen into ground water to support the co-metabolic breakdown of targeted organic...
Always Powder Coating have replaced the conventional iron phosphate pre-treatment system with an organic process that operates at room temperature. The savings from reduced energy, labour and waste disposal costs amount to $60,000 per annum.

Introduction
The utilization of fungal biodegradation involves the controlled usage of these specially cultivated fungi to treat contaminants.
White Rot Fungus
White rot fungus has been reported to degrade a wide variety of organopollutants because of its lignin-degrading or wood-rotting enzymes. Two different treatment configurations have been tested for white rot fungus, in situ and bioreactor. An aerobic system using moisturized air on wood chips is used in a reactor for biodegradation. A reactor was used...
Abstract
For over 15 years, membrane separation processes have been very effectively utilized as essential components of electrodeposition (ED) paint processes. ED is the accepted method of applying the undercoat paint layer to new automobiles and appliances. As cross-flow membrane and ED paint technologies mature, new applications combining the two have been developed. A major American automobile manufacturer now uses reverse osmosis (RO) to treat ultrafiltration (UF) permeate generated by an ED paint process,...
Pressures on the environment may occur through chemical, physical and biological agents. The subject of this study is physical agents, where physical fields are examined.
Physical fields are part of the natural environment. Depending upon their properties and the surrounding conditions, physical fields are transmitted through the spaces in which we live, potentially affecting human health and nature. Human activity can add to, modify, and enhance and reduce the intensity of these fields. Furthermore, changes in...
