Brief On Heat Treatment Processes of Metals in Manufacturing

Image
Steels and metals are mostly leveraged by the manufacturing industries to produce numerous line of products. They’re a boon to engineering. Engineers tailor the mechanical properties of metals with these heat treatments. Might you think, What’s the benefit of tailoring the properties of the metal? Let’s brief you on the purpose of heat treatment: Use of Heat Treatment on Metal The fundamental reason for carrying heat treatment process on metals is to improve the mechanical properties of the metal, including hardness, elasticity, tensile strength, resistance to corrosion, and shock resistance.  To alter or refine the grain size. Improve the machinability. Increase the surface hardness. Increase the resistance to corrosion. To relieve the internal stresses, which may have been developed during the hot or cold working. Types of Heat Treatment The heat treatment processes can be categorized into eight different types, which are used to treat steel before manufacturing: A...

What’s the Market Scenario of Chemical Industries in India?

Image
Most people consider Chemical Industry as the backbone for India’s agricultural and industrial development. Being one of the most diversified industrial sectors, chemical covers an array of more than 700,00 commercial products. The Indian economy has garnered appreciation with the chemical industry’s role in products such as perfumes, pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, varnishes, paints, petrochemicals, glass, toiletries, etc. Let’s go through some numbers as well: Globally, India is the 7th largest producer of chemicals and 3rd largest (by volume) in Asia. India ranks 3rd in producing agrochemicals globally. It also contributes approximately 16% to global production of dye intermediaries and dyestuff. The petrochemical market in India is estimated to reach $100 billion by 2022. However, some survey projects it to reach $304 billion by 2025. The Indian chemical industry affects more than 2 million lives. India is the 4th largest producer of pesticides. Predictions are that the demand f...

Overview of the Indian Power Industry

Image
From the time immemorial, the human race has evolved, survived, and prospered based on energy. The invention of fire accidentally helped to boost the early evolution of humans to what we are today. This discovery proved to be the benchmark in understanding power, as it paved the way to an exploration of new potential. Humans have produced, utilized, and established resources of energy for their survival. Power Generation companies in India manufactured numerous types of machinery and appliances to leverage the most from multiple energy resources. Let’s get an overview of the Indian Power Industry. India’s power sector is considered to be one of the most diversified around the world. Being a rich heritage of energy resources, India possesses numerous power generation sources as well.  Natural gas, coal, oil, nuclear power, Ignite, are categorized under conventional resources and domestic waste, the solar, wind, and agricultural resources are categorized under non-conventional...

All About Air Pollution Control Systems

Image
Air pollution is affecting human lives in multiple ways. With long-term health effects such as respiratory diseases, lung cancer, heart diseases, air pollution can also beget long-term damage to organs such as kidneys, nerves, and liver. To deal with all such disastrous effects of air pollution, there’s a lot to learn for preserving human health and conserving our planet's habitat. According to WHO, there are around 7 million premature deaths every year due to industrial and household air pollution. Such facts are a sign for industries to maintain and install robust air pollution control systems in their plants or facilities to reduce the risk of pollution hazards. These steps can help in bringing down the emission levels of perilous exhausts, reduce the free outflow of particulate and vaporous pollutants in the atmosphere.  Elements of air pollution control system Systems for controlling air pollution can be installed in multiple ways by different industries, as per their p...

How does the Raw Water Purification Systems Work?

Image
Purification of water is vital for industrial companies as they mostly use raw water sources for their facility. Such raw water purification systems are most appropriate in avoiding expensive maintenance fees, costly plant downtime, and other problematic issues. Water Purification Systems can be referred to as the treatment plants which are spread on a large scale to address the specific raw water treatment requirements. A compact version of such a purifying system is mostly employed inside the RO devices installed in our homes for finer filtering of water.  Most industries follow a specific treatment process that may vary as per their plant specifications. But most of the purification systems usually follow the below steps: Intake of Raw Water Here raw water is referred to the natural water found in the environment. The source of this water can be natural resources such as oceans, lakes, rivers, or even groundwater. While intaking raw water from these sources, the industria...

The Process That Most Sewage Treatment Plants Follow

With industrial water contaminating our natural resources, there’s a dire need for installing productive wastewater or sewage treatment plants . Such plants are efficient in treating wastewater collected from various industries and remove pollutants through multiple processes (chemical, physical, and biological). The basic principle of any wastewater or sewage treatment plant is to expedite the fundamental process of purifying water. Such plants mostly operate in two major steps; primary and secondary. In the primary stage, solids in the sewage are allowed to settle and removed. In the secondary step, multiple biological processes are used to purify the wastewater. Numerous technologies have been developed to acknowledge various types of reactors to purify industrial and sewage wastewater. Fluidized Aerobic Bio-Reactor is one of them and is also referred to as the FAB technology to treat wastewater.  What is Fluidised Aerobic Bio-Reactor? Fluidized Aerobic Bio-Reactor (FAB) is a m...

3 Reasons Why Maintenance of Power Plants is Vital

Image
Today, power plants play a vital role in providing large amounts of steady power demanded by modern industries and societies. These plants can be of varied types such as nuclear, solar, coal, renewable, coal, fossil fuels and more. Irrespective of the type, the main goal of each plant is to produce electricity for varied purposes. To ensure each plant can perform up to its optimum potential, it needs to be well-operated and maintained. The following pointers explain why maintenance of power plant operations is required. Let’s get started. To improve voltage As mentioned earlier, the sole purpose of any plant is to produce power. When not appropriately maintained, a lower power factor causes a higher current flow for a given load. Due to this, the line current and the voltage drop in the conductor increases. This may result in a lower voltage at the equipment. To avoid this, plant manufacturers should get in touch with companies who offer power plant operations services. Such com...
