The benefits of Thermax’s Absorption Chillers

The future is green. Several developing and developed countries of the world have pledged to use renewable resources to create energy such as electricity. This is an important step for mankind. The non-renewable energy sources we have been using, have been breathing life out of our planet. Therefore a move towards renewable energy is beneficial to the whole human race. Several renewable energy sources have been touted to play big roles. Solar energy is one of the major renewable energies that promises to live up to its promise. In solar powered technology, photovoltaic cells are used to convert sunlight into electricity. Several solar power plants implementing this technology have been set up. This has provided splendid business opportunities to companies like Thermax, which is a solar power plant manufacturer in India. Here are a few types of solar power plants that will be used to make the most of solar energy.  Photovoltaic solar energy plant Photovoltaic cells capture sunli...

Paper has a crucial role to play in our daily lives and is used in almost any place you can think of.Paper has been used for many years now and is an eco-friendly product that is made from wood pulp. Paper and pulp are made from plant materials and cellulosic fibres. Sometimes  synthetic materials also have to be used to impart special qualities to the finished product. Paper can also be made from wood fibres, but other materials like rags, flax, and sugar cane residues are also used to make some paper. Chemicals companies in India manufacture chemicals which are designed specifically to bolster the process of papermaking. Let us look at the process in-depth: 1.Preparing Raw Material Wood comes to the pulp mill in different forms. The form that wood comes in depends on the process of pulping as well as the origin of raw material. Wood could be received as short logs, with the bark still on it and as wood chips that may have been produced from a sawmill and debarked. If round...

While we were busy arguing whether the climate is changing or not, climate change has occurred rapidly. Climate change is one of the greatest problems mankind is facing. A major contributor to this problem has been air pollution. We can still curb the problem of climate change while it’s still in the nascent stage. A giant step towards this would be to reduce air pollution. To address this, several industries must take the initial step now. These industries need to acquire a societal outlook. One where they give back to the society while earning profits. It is time they reduce the air pollution their factories may be contributing to. How do they do this? Well, here are a few air pollution control systems that can help you reduce or completely curb air pollution their factories could be performing. Electrostatic precipitators Companies like Thermax provide this type of product. It is a device that removes particles from flowing gas. In this device, the particles are attracted to or...

Demineralisation is a technique used to eliminate mineral salts from water utilising the process of ion exchange. Most natural water sources can be demineralised to produce water of high quality as compared to other methods of purification. Demineralised water is also called deionized water. Mineral ions such as cations of sodium, calcium, iron, copper and anions of chloride, sulphate, and nitrate that are commonly present in water are removed during demineralisation. The process is physical in nature and occurs quickly without scale in the build-up. Using demineralisation technology improves the flow of water tremendously. Systems of demineralising water find wide application in fields of power, process, cooling, and steam. Demineralisation of water takes place in demineralisation plants which are available in different sizes and materials and can be manual or automatically operated. The plants are built to conserve water and to save costs. Thermax is among the top manufacturer ...

Humans have a number of ways for utilising water. These include domestic, commercial, and industrial use. Freshwater, after being used for these purposes, turns into wastewater. Domestic uses are a huge source of water consumption. Activities such as washing, bathing, cooking, and flushing toilets all require large amounts of water. Water that emerges after being used in the above-mentioned activities is known as sullage and water from toilets is called sewage. Sullage is easier to treat and purify compared to sewage. In our country, both these kinds of wastewater are treated using one practice, where these types of water are combined and discharged into sewage treatment plants . Why is it necessary to treat wastewater ? Freshwater is becoming increasingly scarce in today’s times and the water used for domestic consumption is not suitable for drinking once it is discharged. With the enormous amounts of sewage and sullage being produced in the country, levels of pollution...

In the coming years, the power generation industry is expected to face daunting challenges to meet the global energy demand. By 2030, the use of electricity is expected to double across the world and go up by three times in developing countries. The demand and pressing need for alternate sources of energy have never been greater. One of the biggest obstacles to making this switch is the maintenance of complex power plant equipment. The thermal power sector is a significant contributor to the generation of electricity for the Indian economy. There is a need to rapidly scale up the capacity of generation along with reducing levels of emissions.  65% of the total power in India is generated by Thermal Power Plants (TPP) which use fossil fuels that lead to the production of harmful emissions. Thermal power stations today need to increasingly offset the power fluctuations in the grid caused by solar and wind power stations. The frequent change from constant to creeping load to cyc...

According to some old age thinkers India has been a land of self-employed people. Today many people dream of having their own business and the recent changes in laws and recent plans brought forward by the government promotes this spirit. Movements started by the Indian government such as start-up India stand up India provides various benefits, possibilities and opportunities to Indians who want to start their own business. This has seen a growing number of firms in the small and medium enterprises sector. Many entrepreneurs have entered the sector of SME as manufacturers. If you happen to be one of those, you must have knowledge about industrial heaters, the various types of industrial heaters and Industrial heaters manufacturers. So, what is an industrial heater? Industrial heaters are used in several processes where the temperature of an object or process must be controlled or more specifically increased. Industrial heaters are used in applications such as packaging, food proc...

The energy of the sun is converted into electricity either through photovoltaic cells or using solar-thermal turbines.  While harnessing the energy of the sun to generate electricity is not new, people have been seeking a device that can pause the process i.e. hold on to the energy in sunlight before changing it to electricity.  Some methods including trying to capture the sun’s energy by using it to pump water uphill so that the energy is stored until the water moves back downhill. Another option is compressing and then un-compressing air. Unfortunately both these methods waste a lot of energy and only 80 per cent of solar power is restored at the other end. Even solar batteries aren’t very efficient as they as very expensive to be used as a viable large-scale storage option. The most efficient solar power plants are designed such that as long as the sun is shining, its energy is being collected in some type of solar collector. So what happens to this system when the s...
