Heat treatment of steels and other metals case study
Application Moisture is measured in the blanketing gases that are used in the treatment of steel. Problem Inert blanketing gases are required during the heat treatment of steels to prevent oxidation of the metal product. At heat-treating temperatures, moisture and oxygen will readily react with the metal to form an undesirable metal-oxide coating on the steel. The blanketing gas purges the oven ...

Dinosaur provincial park, Brooks, Alberta, Canada - Case Study
Dinosaur Provincial Park, in southern Alberta, Canada, is one of the most fossil-rich areas in the world. Recognized as a World Heritage Site by the United Nations, the park attracts hundreds of researchers and many tourists each year to visit, study and excavate. Last summer, the park also attracted some engineers bent on solving an erosion problem. Decades of erosion had carved out a 3-m ...

Settling behaviour of pellet flocs in pelleting flocculation process: analysis through operational conditions
Pellet flocs' settling velocity is an important parameter in the pelleting flocculation blanket (PFB) process, hence, it is necessary to investigate flocs' settling behaviour to achieve the optimum operation parameters of the process. To investigate the settling behaviour of pellets under different operational conditions, a dynamic experiment was carried out to concentrate ferric flocs sludge by ...

Using Spark Blankets in Rail Maintenance
Maintaining national rail infrastructures is an extraordinarily difficult task. The U.S. rail network comprises almost 140,000 miles of track, encompassing freight, intercity, and passenger railroads. Each of these sees intensive daily use. As much as five million tons of freight and around 85,000 passengers are transported by rail every single day. That volume of traffic puts a significant ...

Resilient homes: worth the investment?
This case explores the economic viability of using an external generator and various other supplies to power a house in order to provide minimum power for sustaining living conditions, and contrasts these costs with the projected cost an insurance company would incur such as replacing and/or repairing burst pipes, spoiled food, and relocating a family to a hotel while repairs are completed. ...

Case study - South Pool Creek, Devon
Part of the works to repair an essentials road recently damaged by a landslide required hydroseeding to it's slopes and to help retain the soil an erosion control blanket was fitted by the client prior to seeding. Additional tackifier was added to the mix to help bind the sprayed on material to the steep slopes until germination and the establishment of the new grasses. Project Size: 1,000m2 ...

Is ‘access to adequate and equitable sanitation’ for all by 2030 achievable? Perspectives from sector experts on what needs to change to realise the Sustainable Development Goal
The global community has set the goal of universal access to sanitation by 2030. In the face of limited progress, business as usual is not an option for sanitation sector actors. Through an expert consultation, this paper aims to shed light on the changes needed. Experts believe that in the past, sanitation was regarded as a taboo and a private issue, and given low political prioritisation. ...

Controlling Sludge in Lamella Clarifiers
This month we are focusing on the control of sludge blanket build up in Lamella Clarifiers. Lamella Clarifiers, also known as Inclined Plate Separators (IPS) are in common use at Waste Water Treatment Sites as small footprint plant settlement units and are often employed in place of conventional settling tanks. Controlling Sludge Blanket Build up Effluent enters the Lamella Clarifier via an ...

Anaerobic hybrid reactor: a promising technology for treatment of distillery spent wash
A laboratory-scale study was conducted to investigate the performance of anaerobic hybrid (combining sludge blanket and filter) and UASB (Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket) reactors for the treatment of distillery spent wash. The start-up and granulation study demonstrated that early start-up and granulation were achieved in case of hybrid reactor (45 days) as compared with UASB reactor (60 days). ...

Novel method for sludge blanket measurements
The most widely used methods for sludge blanket measurements are based on acoustic or optic principles. In operation, both methods are expensive and often maintenance-intensive. Therefore a novel, reliable and simple method for sludge blanket measurement is proposed. It is based on the differential pressure measurement in the sludge zone compared with the differential pressure in the clear ...

Flotation outperforms sedimentation and ultrafiltration for turbidity and NOM removal at the drinking water treatment plant of Kluizen
The drinking water plant of Kluizen treats surface water with high levels of organics and alkalinity. In the original plant, built in 1974, sludge blanket clarification followed by filtration was applied for floc removal. In 2008, the plant was extended with two additional treatment lines where flotation is used instead of sludge blanket clarification. Flotation-filtration proved to be very ...
