Mobile welding fume extractors ensure flexibility
The challenge Harsveld Apparatenbouw BV employs approx. 50 staff members, of which 35 welders. All welders are certified and ‘all-round’ (MIG/MAG, TIG, stick welding, etc.) and continuously work with diverse, mostly high-grade metals. The diversity of the welding operations results in welding fumes on many different locations. For certain assignments it’s not unusual that the ...

Is Hexavalent Chromium (Hex Chrome; Chrome VI) a carcinogen?
In 1990, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), an agency of the World Health Organization (WHO), published their findings on chromium and chromium compounds as carcinogens. Chromium may be isolated in any of three volume states: Chrome 0 or metallic chromium; Chrome III called “Chrome 3” or Chrome VI called “Chrome 6,” also called hexavalent chromium. ...

Is Hexavalent Chromium (Hex Chrome; Chrome VI) Found in Welding Fumes A Carcinogen?
Neither the chromium found in metal plating (like chrome trim on a can) nor the chrome found in medicines like chromium picolinate is in the hexavalent form and is not carcinogenic. In fact it has a positive value in our system by assisting in regulating blood sugar levels. The chrome found in the fumes formed by welding stainless steel and released into a welder’s breathing zone is in the ...

How does a Hydrogen generator work?
A Hydrogen generator uses a proton exchange membrane (PEM) to produce high purity hydrogen gas from water. The PEM cell was originally developed by NASA and is extensively used in industrial and laboratory applications. Hydrogen gas production Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the Universe, although in its gaseous state it does not naturally occur on Earth and must be manufactured. In ...

Addressing your industrial indoor air quality questions
Modular air filtration empowers factory workers to focus on their task at hand — free from indoor air quality (IAQ) concerns and unencumbered by clunky PPE equipment. There’s also the added benefit of keeping OSHA and other compliance watch dogs at bay. But, what are the specific IAQ requirements under OSHA? What bottom-line benefits does industrial air filtration offer OEMs? And ...
