The benefits of Thermax’s Absorption Chillers

There is growing emphasis and concern for the impact industrial activities have on the environment in the world today. This is seen most prominently in the electronics industry where the purification and removal of soldering fumes occurs. To make sure that the chosen air pollution control systems don't underperform and cause more harm than good, keep the following four considerations in mind. Durability and Portability This should be the first thing you seek in a fume extractor. With a portable fume extractor, you can move it all around your facility easily to the area you need to use it in. A portable fume extractor also increases the likelihood of dings and dents to the air , so you want to pick a unit that is built to last.  Choose an extractor that has a heavy-duty stainless steel cabinet with 100% welded seams. This will protect these air pollution control systems against leaks. If the unit has casters or wheels, choose heavy-duty commercial ones that don...

Demineralised water is a form of water that has been purified through a process of ion exchange. This kind of clarified water is suitable for a number of uses such as in the pharmacy, manufacturing, and automotive industry. Impurities such as magnesium, calcium, and sodium are present in raw water. After water has been demineralised, it is devoid of any impurity ions and mineral salts that are present in raw water. These can compromise the validity of certain industrial processes by interfering with and contaminating substances. Another benefit of demineralised water is that it is safe to use on sensitive surfaces and equipment without the danger of corroding these surfaces. This is of value, particularly in the automotive and electronics industry. Let us explore some industry applications of demineralised water: 1.Automotive Industry The presence of calcium in raw water can lead to the formation of build-up which can damage metal parts used in the automotive industry....

Wastewater treatment is important to remove as much of the suspended solids known as effluents, that are present in water before this water is discharged back into the environment. Sewage treatment plants help in this kind of treatment of water. Sewage treatment plants (STPs) are of two types: 1. Chemically treated – In these plants chemicals are added to break down the effluents in water to disinfect it 2. Biologically treated – In biological plants the effluent is broken down using aerobic bacteria Let us look at three of the most commonly used STPs: 1.    Activated Sludge Plants (ASP) In activated sludge plants, organic matter is present in an aerated basin where micro-organisms metabolize the suspended and soluble organic matter. A part of the organic matter is synthesized into new cells, and the rest is oxidized to CO2 and water to derive energy. New cells are formed in the reaction and removed from the liquid stream in the form of a flocculent sludge...

Heat is at the core of important processes required in the food and beverage industry. Boilers that are used to provide heat are manufactured as per the market standards and using components that are high-quality. Properties like performance, rust-proof body, and high durability are some desired ones that buyers look for in boilers that will be employed in food processing. A good boiler comes in diverse packaging options as well as in different specifications according to the needs of the customers. Let us explore some ways to ensure you choose the perfect boiler for your facility: 1. Check boiler capacity The boiler capacity includes the heat loss in pipelines, self-used heat of boiler room, available used waste heat. The heating load could be based on the max thermal consumption per hour within production/heating/domestic, and then calculated based on the  coefficient. It is advised to choose a boiler that has the same capacity or combustion equipment. If these are...

Biomass has been used for centuries for purposes of heating and cooking. Today developments in technology have enabled us to utilise plant materials to create electric energy. Biomass is used to create bioenergy which is a sustainable energy source that uses organic materials to produce electricity and other forms of power. Bioenergy is carbon-neutral electricity that is generated from renewable organic waste that would just have been dumped in landfills, burned openly, or left as fodder for forest fires. Agriculture and forestry residues along with industrial wastes can be used for developing biomass. Owing to its environment-friendly properties, biomass is an attractive fossil-fuel alternative. It is more evenly distributed over the surface of the Earth and is a renewable source of energy. The simplest and most common way to harness energy from biomass is through direct combustion. Wood waste or other organic waste is burned in biomass power plants, to produce steam. This ste...

The Earth receives an enormous amount of energy from the Sun every day.  It is only logical for this energy to be harnessed and utilised in the form of solar energy.  Advances in solar technology and reduction in installation prices have seen a worldwide growth in the use of solar energy. In a country like India, where the agriculture sector is the largest source of livelihood for the country’s population, solar energy can be used to reduce production costs of agricultural operations. Agriculture solar power has boomed, and more farmers are investing in cost-saving and sustainable technology that is environment- friendly.  A leading solar power plant manufacturer in India, Thermax is testament to this. Dairy, poultry, growing crops, and other such specialized operations  involves many energy-intensive practices. Utilising solar energy for powering these operations is a practical solution to cutting down farming energy use and expense. Many high-tech options are ...

The food industry is a mainstay industry for most economies, particularly one like ours. The livelihood of many groups of people is linked to this industry, including agriculture, manufacture, and distribution. A heat treatment process is at the heart of the smooth running of industrial food processes. At every stage in the food industry, heat is required. This heat can be direct or obtained from hot water or steam. Industrial boilers are used in the food industry to generate steam or hot water to process, cook, and sanitize food products like fruits, vegetables, and meat. Industrial food boilers are capable of handling high pressures, making them perfect for food processing industries. They are also used for canning canned food tins. Boilers in the food industry run using fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, and fuel oil. In recent years, the need for boilers to be clean and support environmental protection has increased, so clean energy fuels such as natural gas, biomass fuel, a...
