Industrial valves are devices that are used to regulate liquids, gases, and slurries. The flow of liquids or gases can be controlled using these valves. This can be done through pipes and other passageways by opening, closing, and partially obstructing the passageway or pipe. Different types of Industrial Valves include: • Gate Valves • Globe Valves • Ball Valves • ...
What is a Server Rack Blanking Panel A blanking panel is a piece of plastic or metal that fits into the empty spaces in your rack. Typically they come in 1U or 2U sizes, and they close off that U, only being removed when a new piece of equipment is to be installed. The fact that they will often times end up being removed means that many people question their need as they will be surplus to ...
Optimize the Life and Efficiency of Your RTO Ceramic Media Beds Considering ceramic media replacement in your RTO? Wondering about the many options and claims you hear of out there? We hope this post provides some clarity for your next step. Regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTO’s) have been a workhorse oxidizer for over 30 years. Many ceramic media types and designs have been developed ...
Considering ceramic media replacement in your regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO)? Wondering about the many options and claims you have heard from peers at other companies? We hope this post provides some clarity to start you on the right path. RTOs have been a workhorse oxidizer for over 30 years. Many ceramic media types and designs have been developed over that time offer a significant ...
Abstract. Aerosols and clouds affect atmospheric radiative processes and climate in many complex ways and still pose the largest uncertainty in current estimates of the Earth’s changing energy budget. Airborne in situ sensors such as the Cloud, Aerosol, and Precipitation Spectrometer (CAPS) or other optical spectrometers and optical array probes provide detailed information about the ...
How many gas monitoring systems does it take to measure a gas concentration? Strangely enough, the answer is not always one. Gas concentration monitoring is not always an easy task. In the ideal world, a monitoring system needs no maintenance, it is infinitely fail-safe, and it operates impeccable irrespectively of the conditions of the gas. However, then reality hits the system with more or less ...
An organization's middle managers can-and should-be the greatest advocates for the safety of the front line personnel. Openness to new technologies and best practices is key to that advocacy, as well as a defining characteristic of a robust safety system designed for continuous improvement. ...
Micro Pulse LiDAR is an effective tool for monitoring and measuring dust and emissions produced by mining operations. Mining operations include blasting, excavating, scraping, and sifting large amounts of dirt. These activities create dust and other emissions that are transported by air currents to surrounding areas. It is easy to say that dangerous particulate matter (PM) generated by mining ...
Mining operations include blasting, excavating, scraping, and sifting large amounts of dirt. These activities create dust and other emissions that are transported by air currents to surrounding areas. It is easy to say that dangerous particulate matter (PM) generated by mining should be monitored and kept to a minimum; however, it is very challenging to measure the levels of contaminants in the ...
Measurements of ambient air quality close to industrial facilities are sometimes referred to as fence-line monitoring, in particular if the ambition is to evaluate the facilities’ contributions to the air pollution situation. Fence-line monitoring can be of great importance and value in the vicinity of any potentially air-polluting industry, including oil and gas refineries, chemical ...
Early Detection of Adverse Particulate Matter Aids Dust Management Dust emissions at open-cut coal mines are a potential threat to air quality in surrounding areas. To learn more about particulate matter (PM) and how it travels beyond a mine’s boundaries, a research grant from the Australian Coal Association Research Program (ACARP) was awarded to Pacific Environment, an environmental ...
Hydrogen sulfide, H2S, is a very poisonous, corrosive, and flammable gas. As such, it needs to be carefully monitored and controlled in industrial processes where it is generated or used. At relatively low concentrations, it has an odour of rotten eggs which effectively works as a warning, but at higher concentrations where it becomes acutely toxic and even lethal, it can no longer be smelled ...
There are many types of air quality monitors available, but which one is the best choice for measuring gaseous air pollutant concentrations? There are two classes of such air quality monitors: sampling monitors and in-situ monitors (“in-situ” = “in the original position”). Sampling monitors utilises a manifold through which the air to be analysed is pumped. A small air ...
The Age Old Problem Well it continues , birds and planes do not mix and not only to they pose a threat to the integrity of the aircraft, birdstrike damage can be deadly and costly all round. The 9 standards which are set in respect to bird strike prevention (IBSC standards) require airports to take reasonable measures to understand the risk and to prevent the risks. 15 years ago… ...
Customer: Glass Manufacturer Application: Continuous Emissions Monitoring Service (CEMS) for Glass Manufacturing Background: A glass factory is required to continuously monitor emissions in compliance with the Operating Licence. The licence requires a reliable Continuous Emissions Monitoring Service (CEMS) installation for the measurement of Oxygen, NOx, Temperature and Opacity. The exhaust ...
Customer: Confidential Application: Ambient air Fenceline application Background: The Victoria Environmental Protection Agency installed an Opsis DOAS open path system to measure Benzene & SO2 emissions on the Fenceline of our client’s refinery. After initial findings, our client was requested to supply their own monitoring system. Ecotech was approached to design, install and ...
ABSTRACT PerspectUV is a unique instrument developed to perform ambient air monitoring in urban and industrial settings. It has been designed to be transportable with quick and simple set-up and operation that requires no specialist knowledge by the user. The instrument is fully weatherproof for operation in a wide range of environmental conditions and maintenance is minimal. This paper ...
1 INTRODUCTION The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has developed facilities for the laboratory testing and calibration of gas monitoring instruments as part of the VAM (Valid Analytical Measurement) programme of the Department of Trade and Industry. This paper describes some of these facilities, including gas cells for testing open-path instruments and a laboratory which is dedicated to the ...
The integral transport scheduling problem in emergency relief is studied with the following features: simultaneous transport of people and resources, integral forward and reverse transport, matching between scattered vehicles and demands. The proposed solution has two stages: first, feasible paths are generated by an exact algorithm and an immune evolutionary algorithm, all based on an open path ...
