OSHA Requirements Exceeded for HVAC Maintenance - Case Study
The heating and cooling units pictured were installed very close the the roof edge. The business was putting their workers at risk when the equipment periodically needed maintenance and repair. OSHA Code required that guardrails be erected. This facility installed a guardrail system that is a non-penetrating, counterbalance system, that eliminated the need to drill into the roof membrane. The ...

Cone Penetration of Partially Saturated Sands
A laboratory study of cone penetration through partially saturated sand was conducted. A new method for preparing specimens at various degrees of saturation, which utilizes pressure release from previously carbonated water, is described. In closed water systems, where capillary tensions increase effective confining pressures, penetration resistance was significantly higher than in either dry or ...

Cooling Tower Screens: The Benefits of a Traveling Sump Screen
Custom fabricated traveling sump screens provide a variety of advantages. Traditionally these screens would require your cooling tower and, subsequently, your entire operation to experience expensive downtime. Furthermore, during this downtime, costly maintenance, repairs, and replacements would need to be made. One of the most critical components of a cooling tower is the screen. The cooling ...

New USP Guidance on Heat Sanitization: Keep Temperatures Below 80°C
USP concurs: SnowPure’s experience says that heat sanitization should be between 72-80°C: Bacteria are killed at temperatures above 65°C. Most bacteria are killed at 60°C, and essentially all bacterial are killed above 65°C. Two common protocols have emerged for sanitizing validated high purity water systems:72°C for 30-60 minutes (bacteria killed in seconds) ...

Microplastics penetrate all systems of the body, leading to behavioral changes
Summary New research by University of Rhode Island professor Jamie Ross focuses on the neurobehavioral effects and inflammatory responses of exposure to microplastics, as well as the accumulation of microplastics in tissues, including the brain. Her team found that the infiltration of microplastics in the body was as common as in the environment, leading to behavioral changes, especially in older ...

Most common problems with septic systems
Septic systems are extremely small and less expensive safeguarding systems which can give consistent tune-up functioning for 20 years or more unless with the proper and regular interval checkups. The intensity of preservation and occurrence of troubles can together be significantly compacted by identifying how to be familiar with associated issues as well as taking paces to guard a septic system. ...

Third Natural Eukaryotic Epigenetic Mark Found
DNA carries the blueprint to build the body, but it is a living document: the design can be adjusted by epigenetic markers. In humans and other eukaryotes, two major epigenetic marks are known. A group at the Marine Biology Laboratory (MBL) now found a third epigenetic mark in this freshwater invertebrate, Adineta vaga, which has previously been found only in bacteria. For the first time, a ...

An Interview with Warwick Wood (Managing Director) at EarthScience Information Systems Pty Ltd (EScIS): Environmental Data Management for Contractors
As an environmental data expert, can you share your perspective on the remediation field and how your technology can be leveraged to improve the way in which the industry works? One of the biggest challenges we see across our industry is the retention of environmental monitoring data and access to it. For instance, contractors often share data with multiple stakeholders, whether as part of a ...

Inland oil spill clean up case study
Introduction The essential strategy for inland spill clean up techniques should be containment, recovery and temporary storage. Secondary needs will include transportation and possible disposal - or recycling. It is important to discover the source of the spill which might not be straight forward. A steady slow seepage from a leaking disused oil storage tank may be very difficult to trace. ...

Sea Water Reverse Osmosis (SWRO)
Of the many water sources, such as water from rivers, springs, and also lakes, nothing is greater than sea water. More than 90% of the earth's surface is the ocean, which is a good alternative source of water for industries and settlements, as long as the water with high salt content can be treated properly. Along with the development of the times, humans have found technology to treat sea water ...

Passive vs Active Sampling for Sensor-based Ambient Air Quality Monitoring
Air pollution with its cascading effects across the population has become a serious matter of concern. To address this air pollution problem, availability of accurate and reliable air quality data is crucial. The quality of air monitoring depends upon how the sample of air is collected and how it is analysed. This paper majorly focuses on passive vs active sampling for air quality monitoring. ...

What you should do if brown water comes out of the pipe?
Especially in older properties, ungalvanized or galvanized iron pipes are often still installed in the water system. They tend to corrode. So the water flowing through them carries the rust with it. Whether you need hot or cold water - the number of rust particles is higher than average and a brownish liquid flows out of your faucet. However, the problem does not lie with your water supplier or ...
