A variety of products that are created by the chemical industry have a massive impact on our lives. While some of these products are purchased directly by the consumer, for example, detergents and soaps, many other creations are used as intermediates to make other products. Hence, the chemical companies in India play a crucial role in the way we lead our lives. In this article, we will go over the various types of chemicals created by these companies and how it impacts our lives. Primarily, the products created by chemical companies can be divided into three broad categories. 1. Basic Chemicals Usually produced in large quantities, basic chemicals are either sold within the chemical industry or to other industries who then use them for creating a product that will be used by consumers. For example, ethanoic acid is sold within the chemical industry to make esters, which is then sold to make paints, which is ultimately sold to the consumer. Basic chemicals are further divided into ...

The progress and prosperity of every country depending on the generation and availability of electricity. This is primarily because the consumption of electricity acts as a barometer of a nation’s economic well-being and determines the standard of living of people. If a country can generate abundant and cost-effective electricity, it has a positive impact on the growth of industries, transport, as well as agriculture. Hence, the importance of generating sufficient electricity for any country cannot be stressed upon enough. However, major electricity in India is generated by non-renewable resources that aren’t going to be around forever. Hence, the power generation companies in India are focusing on generating electricity through conventional methods. In this article, we have covered the different types of electricity commonly generated in power generation companies in India. 1. Hydroelectricity The future of India and its success greatly depends on how we can generate and make use...

With the rise in factories and plants that release Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere, the need for air pollution systems cannot be stressed upon enough. These systems help to clear the air from harmful components like sulfuric gases, fumes, odours, and vapours. These gases pose a threat to the environment, local ecosystems and even human health, as they cause acid rains, smog, carbon emissions, etc. Alarming Statistics About Air Pollution Each year, 7 million people due to air pollution as the level of harmful pollutants remain on an all-time high across many parts of the world 14 out of the 15 top polluted cities in the world in terms of dangerous PM2.5 particles are in India 9 out of 10 people in the world are exposed to and breathe polluted air Most of the world’s megacities exceed WHO’s guideline levels for air quality more than five times, which is the main risk to people’s health 120 million children under the age of fiv...

Raw water is a term used for any untreated water that is naturally found in the environment. These include water sources like rainwater, groundwater, wells, lakes, and even rivers. Before this water can be used for cooling, rinsing, product formulations and even human consumption in industry settings, it needs to be adequately purified. Water purification systems are used to treat raw water, generally to use the water to improve the production process and overall performance for a particular application, for example, feed-water, production water and water for drinking. Raw water treatment is focused on protecting the equipement through which the water will pass from scaling, fouling, corrosion and any other forms of damage or wear due to the contaminants present. The water purification systems are used to remove any colloidal solids, silica, iron, bacteria and hardness. How Do Water Purification Systems Treat Raw Water The treatment process of raw water is customized based on the ...

Septic tanks and sewage treatment plants often are used interchangeably, considering they both are used to process wastewater. However, besides this similarity, there are multiple differences between the two machines. In this article, we have covered the differences between the two machines and have determined which system works better and is more efficient for industrial use. Before we delve into the differences, let’s first understand what septic tanks are and how do sewage treatment plants work. What is a septic tank? Generally, septic plants are usually buried underground and are split into multiple chambers. To process wastewater, it enters from one end of the septic tank, wherein it is separated into solids, also known as sludge, and oils, also known as scum. The separated wastewater, now known as the effluent, leaves the tank through an outlet and goes into a drainage field. Once the water reaches the drainage field, the effluent is percolated through the fields, where...
