Membrane system: Water purification tech you need to know

Image
According to DownToEarth around 163 million people in India don’t have access to clean water. That is 19% total of the world’s population that don’t have access to clean water. A simple answer to this would be water purification. If we implemented water purification techniques, we won't have this problem anymore.  So, what are the water purification systems that we can implement? This blog provides information about membrane filtration and types of membrane filtrations. For more information continue reading. Membrane system A membrane is a semi-permeable material with thin layers that allows specific elements to pass through it while blocking others. This system is used for removing particulates, bacteria and micro-organisms. The membrane processes discussed in this blog are Ultrafiltration (UF), Nanofiltration (NF), Reverse Osmosis (RO), and microfiltration (MF). Let's look at each of these. Ultrafiltration (UF) Ultrafiltration is used to remove suspended solids, oil an...

The green turn of power generation companies

Image
We have reached a tipping point regarding climate change.  This includes rising sea levels, floods in the coastal regions, intense heat waves, extreme weather change, and global warming. If we don't take any action now, it might be too late.Climate changes has the capacity to wipe off several species off the planet, including humans. Yes, you read it right. We are facing a serious problem. A problem that needs urgent resolution. At times like this, power generation companies in India have stepped forward and started providing green solutions to produce energy. They do this by providing a model of green energy power plants, which run on process heat/process waste, solar, biomass and hybrids.   So, what are these solutions? Keep reading to know that. Solar It is the conversion of solar energy into electricity. It can be done directly or indirectly. It can be done directly using photovoltaic cells. It can be done indirectly using systems such as lenses or mirrors. In this...

Why Environmental concern is the need of the hour

Image
While we were busy arguing whether the climate is changing or not, the climate has changed! Several organisations who were earlier reluctant have now become a part of the fight against this change. So, let's address the topic. Why do we need to tackle this issue now?  What is air pollution? The event when a substantial amount of air particles and substances enter the Earth's atmosphere and contaminate it is called air pollution. This pollution has poisonous effects. Air pollution can be of 2 types. Natural and man-made. The natural sources are volcanic eruptions, wildfires, etc. Man-made air pollution has 2 types. Mobile and Stationary. Mobile sources include cars, trains, aeroplanes, etc. Stationary sources are factories, industrial facilities, power plants, etc. The pollution produced by various sources has adverse effects on humans. Short term effects include pneumonia, bronchitis, headaches, dizziness and irritation to skin, nose, and eyes. The long term effects are hig...

Benefits of sewage treatment plants

Image
Sewage is wastewater or contaminated water. It is generally created by a residential complex in a municipality. Considering the number of people living in any area in our country, sewage production is inevitable. The population has exploded, and with it, the amount of sewage has increased. If left untreated, it will result in the spread of diseases, water pollution, and an imbalance between ecological surroundings. In a report by DownToEarth, it was noted that 78% of sewage generated in India remains untreated. Therefore, it is a need of the hour for India to establish sewage treatment plants to deal with this problem.  Wondering how a sewage treatment plant works? It is the process of removing contaminants from water. This can be done by using several chemical, physical and biological processes. The facility where this treatment is done is called a sewage treatment plant. This water can then be reused for various purposes such as gardening, car wash and more. Keep reading t...

Top 9 boiler manufacturers in India

Image
From a budding entrepreneur to a successful businessman, everyone venturing in industrial applications needs a boiler. To ensure you can get a boiler which can match your requirements, you need to get in touch with one of the top boilers manufactures in India . In this blog, we have made a list of top nine boiler manufacturers. Before we start with the list, let's discuss what a boiler is? A closed vessel which is used to heat fluid is called a boiler. Unlike the name suggests, it doesn't necessarily boil the fluid. It heats or vaporizes the fluid. This fluid is then used for various heating applications. Now that we know the fundamental use of boilers, let's get back to the list of manufacturers in our country. So, here is the list starting from 1st to the 9th placed boiler manufacturer in India. 1. Thermax India Limited Topping our list of boiler manufacturers in India is Thermax India limited, an INR 5516 crore company. This company offers a wide range of engineer...

How Power Plant Operations Plant Performance

Image
Building power plants is only the beginning of achieving success in the power industry.  Running plants efficiently, and improving their operational efficiency is the path to increased profits and the bottom line. Building new plants is an important and challenging part in the electricity business. Ultimately it is operating plants that bring in revenue. Operating power plants efficiently can make all the difference between profit and loss. This is even more critical in competitive markets. In an operating environment, plant efficiency is the first parameter of success for a power plant, no matter where the generation comes. For fossil-fuel plants, efficiency is key from the perspective of reducing air emissions, particularly carbon dioxide. Other aspects that power plant efficiency depends on include engineering, planning, and technology. Human performance is also a critical part of plant management. Some firms that specialise in energy conferences offer courses to enhance hu...

Power Solutions for the Pharmaceutical Industry

Image
The importance of healthcare systems around the world is undeniable. An industry that is at the heart of the healthcare system is the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. Pharmaceutical manufacturers are responsible for developing and producing several medicinal products and other health-related products that heal and save the lives of millions of people every year. Most of the pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities are highly automated. Bulk chemicals are reduced to the required size by milling and micronizing machines, that pulverize substances into very fine particles. Then, these finished chemicals are mixed and processed further in mixing machines. These mixed ingredients can then be made into solutions, pressed to form tablets or are turned into capsules mechanically. There is no doubt that the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals is a very important activity that requires to be done as seamlessly and efficiently as possible. However, until now some common issues that disrupt...

Factors to Consider Before Selecting a Warehouse heater

Image
Several industrial heaters manufacturers provide heaters these days. But randomly selecting and installing one and going on doing your business is not advisable. Every warehouse is unique.  That is to say, all warehouses are different. It is highly unlikely that two warehouses will be the same. That is why the heating method that works for one warehouse may not necessarily work for another. A heater is a necessity, that is given. But before you install a heater there are certain factors that you must consider. Here are some of the factors you must consider before selecting a warehouse heater. Size One factor that determines the size of the heater is the size of your warehouse. If your warehouse has huge space and you need high heat output you may need a heater with greater capacity. If your warehouse space is small you may not need a heater with such a high capacity.   Type of products A warehouse stores a plethora of products. They range from hazardous chemicals t...
