There are a number of ways in which heat exchangers can be cleaned and condenser tubes and coils are eliminated of rigid and foulant deposits. Industrial cleaning companies offer various heat exchanger treatment methods that are effective and also keep the environment safe and sound. Foulant deposits from heat exchanger coils and tubes can be removed using water, chemical solutions, and other advanced technological techniques such as FINFOAM. However, for a large number of industrial applications, chemical cleaning of heat exchangers has proven to be the most effective and safest option.

Industrial chemical cleaning techniques make use of chemicals and compounds such as mineral acids, which can later be followed with the use of high-pressure water or steam to remove degraded or broken inorganic salt scales. Advancements have taken place in the chemical solutions and compounds that can mold cleaning methods to specifically cater to industrial requirements and make further cleaning procedures easier and quicker. Today, specialized chemical mixtures have been developed to suppress foaming or enhance foaming, negate emulsion formation or create nearly unbreakable emulsions, remove scales without the use of acidic liquids, make fluids non-viscous or make them thick. Every cleaning requirement can be met with great ease through industrial chemical cleaning solutions.

Operations performed for chemical cleaning of heat exchangers are done in such a way that does not harm or pollute the environment in any manner. In a conductive way, industrial chemical cleaning reduces the pollution on air, water and soil at work sites.

Things to remember while hiring experts for industrial chemical cleaning-

• In order to prepare the right chemical compounds and mixtures to clean your exchanger coils and tubes, experts will first evaluate petroleum-processing or chemical-manufacturing foulant deposits in the heat exchangers. A sample is collected and sent to the laboratory to be investigated for professionals to prepare the right chemical solutions. During this stage, it is extremely important to hire professionals with adequate knowledge of the industrial chemical cleaning process. This is because only experts can understand the nature of the debris that has been collected and select the appropriate products that go in the chemical mixture/compound. Even in the absence of samples, an expert with the understanding of chemical cleaning requirements can prepare the right compound for effective cleaning.
• Different kinds of chemical solutions are prepared and used for organic and inorganic deposits in heat exchanger coils and tubes. Inorganic deposits can be removed using acid-based solutions whereas organic deposits can be treated with basic or alkaline chemical solutions. Tars and polymer deposits can be cleaned using emulsifying agents with an aromatic solution. such varied chemical treatments for diver industrial applications help businesses find the best solution for chemical cleaning of heat exchangers that are not only effective but also saves time and keeps the environment protected.
• While cleaning large and heavy equipment might seem difficult, industrial chemical cleaning operations can also be carried out in ‘situ’ or mobile facilities. This is specifically for equipment that is too large or heavy to be moved. Mobile facilities can be used to ensure the best circulation of chemical solutions throughout the equipment. For example, for towers, steam is usually the mobile carrier that is used to circulate chemical solutions. This process is also known as steam-phase cleaning. Alternatively, the equipment can also be immersed in the chemical cleaning solution, however, this is only used to clean small parts or for equipment that cannot be cleaned in ‘situ’.
• It is also possible to do an off-stream chemical cleaning of heat exchangers by having the heating bundles cut out, removed to a cleaning yard and treated with high-pressure water blasters. This industrial chemical cleaning method comes to great use to clean banks of heat exchangers. If you wish to do an on-stream chemical cleaning, you must do so with careful consideration as the cleaning agents may end up contaminating the entire system due to unsuitable temperatures during the process.
• The reasons why specialized industrial chemical cleaning techniques are becoming widely popular is due to its improved effectiveness in reducing the chances of equipment breakdown and unit shutdowns. The equipment can be kept contamination-free for a long period of time once cleaned and treated with chemical solutions. Presence of hazardous materials in vessels, piping, and auxiliary equipment is the main reason for unit shutdowns, and this is exactly what is avoided with an effective cleaning process.
• To improve production capabilities of process equipment and industrial machinery, cleaning heat exchangers can ensure that the fouling debris from coils and tubes is removed thoroughly as the same impacts production capacities if not treated. Improve industrial productivity and output helps in improved business revenue generation.
• Oil refinery equipment with residual bulk hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon films and sludges can also be cleaned with specialized industrial chemical cleaning agents. This is considered as the safest option because chemical cleaning agents not only safely decontaminate a vessel but also allows for enhanced resource recovery of large amounts of valuable hydrocarbon streams for re-insertion into the oil refinery process. This reduces a considerable amount of time and money in disposing of waste and hazardous hydrocarbon materials after the cleaning has been completed.

Research and studies have shown that chemical cleaning for heat exchangers can reduce the time required during shutdowns by 50% or more. The time saved and the resultant increase in plant availability can often more than offset the costs of chemical cleaning.

Thus, hiring professionals for effective industrial chemical cleaning services can keep your heat exchangers functioning and running for a long time. Exchangers support a variety of industrial applications and therefore, maintaining an exchanger’s coils and tubes are highly important to reduce unit shutdowns and equipment breakdowns.

When two bodies like a shaft and bearing rub against each other they produce an enormous amount of heat that can, if not controlled, lead to catastrophic events. It happens due to the natural force of friction produced during such event. Friction not only leads to heat but it can also halt the motion of the machinery and thus lubrication is important. Following points will tell you the need of the lubrication:

1. Reduce the force of friction generated due to the motion.
2. Reduce the amount of wear-and-tear happened due to operations.
3. Reduce the corrosion of the hardware surface.
4. Help in reducing the contamination of the machinery.

In a nutshell, choosing an appropriate lubricant as per the material and operational needs of your machine can help your machines to operate smoothly for a long time.

Lubrication System

Once you have selected the lubricant, a proper use in a proper amount is crucial. Too little or too much of lubrication can lead to problems. This is where Lubrication System comes into action.

The Lubrication System is a pivotal system used for the storage and the application of the lubricants. It consists of:

1. The feeder, helping in the application of lubricant.
2. The container, containing the lubricant in a completely sealed environment.
3. The distributor, distributing the controlled amount of lubricant.
4. The monitoring units, pressure switch and other control units, controlling and monitoring the entire working of the Lubrication System.
5. Other fittings and extra accessories, assisting the proper working of the Lubrication System.

With all these major components, Lubrication System can either be portable like the hand-operated pumps or internal as found in the automobiles.

Types of the Lubrication System

A.T.E. provides the following different types of Lubrication Systems:

1. Portable and hand operated pumps that are suited for sites with compressed air or no electricity.
2. Air operated pumps helping to transfer the heavy duty grease at a high pressure.
3. DC battery automatic pumps used for the heavy construction machinery.
4. Air operated dispensers used either manually or automatically for discharging a precise amount of grease.

How to choose the proper Lubrication System?

With all these types, there are various features that we should look at while selecting the Lubrication System of our choice.

1. The material that is used for construction should be checked.
2. The system should be completely sealed so that there is no leakage and no contamination of the lubricant. Such systems can also be used to carry the lubricant from one place to another.
3. The site and the machinery play an important role while you are choosing the pump. For a heavy machine, you may need a DC powered lubrication pump. Whereas for a machine with lack of electricity and compressed air you may need a hand-operated and portable system.

Conclusion

Lubrication is necessary for the proper working of the machinery and Lubrication System is necessary for the proper application of the lubricant. One should carefully choose the lubricant and Lubrication System based on the type of machine, the area of application, operation principle and temperature range. It not only help in proper working of the machine but also ensures safety.

Advances in construction solutions are ongoing. In the recent years, a lot have only become possible through the corresponding development in cementitious product design. Today’s use of cementitious products in building, construction and mining including non-shrink cementitious grout is important and, in some cases, has reached the point where much of the product is a vital structural element of the building.

Grouting products are free-flowing, durable cement or synthetic resin-based mortars that are normally used for the filling of voids under machines and other structural elements as well as for grouting of anchors. A high quality blend of cement and non-shrink chemicals mixed with water produces a durable material which is useful for grouting and general concrete applicants on both indoor and outdoor projects.

As we approach the end of the decade, the fledgling environmental industry has become an essential source of jobs globally. By looking at newest tendencies of the green energy industry, we might project what job opportunities will emerge in 2017 and onwards. The renewable energy industry provided nearly 10 million jobs globally in 2016 and is likely to exceed 10 million. A closer look at that the breakdown of the renewable energy industry shows we may expect better part of the development to manifest in wind and renewable energy generation. Even though newest political developments in the U.S. might stall the development of the renewable energy sector in america, the U.S. represent less than ten percent of the worldwide renewable energy market.

This probably implies that governmental hangups may have small impact on the worldwide trends in renewable energy jobs creation. Protection of U.S. land and natural sources continues to be on high priority. The trump government has proposed nearly $1 billion in financing for the U.S. Geological Survey at 2018 with emphasis on science systems and research methods, ecosystems investigation and recovery, water resource management, and property resource management. If congress follows the principles laid out in this spending budget proposal, the U.S.G.S. alone could supply thousands of projects in resource management by the end of 2017 and in 2018. As the world population surpasses 7.5 billion, urban centers are growing rapidly. Top universities are offering state-of that the art programs in the field of modern urban planning to deal with the rapidly increasing need for urban planners. Conferences on the subject of urban planning continue to shed light on the diverse skill set needed to deal with that the needs of urban populations in that the next few years, including big data and an advanced energy industry.

The scaffolding of systems in Australia is one of the main requirements of any building builder when performing any type of construction or repair work. One of the most popular systems for creating a stage structure is the Kwikstage or Quickwedge system, which is a modular scaffolding system in which the wedges meet all the requirements to secure all access scaffolds, thus eliminating all loose ends. The wedge fixation of the logs and crossbars offers a simple and efficient way to provide access to the scaffolding in the Kwikstage system. It has an inflexible and well-defined four-way fixation that provides a fixed location without any unwanted movement in the system. This structure provides a guaranteed vertical alignment through a highly effective spike and wedge fitting.

Quickwedge Standards / Vertical

It is made of standard high-grade scaffolding tubes and finds its application in the creation of the support or uprights used in the structure. This product forms a location for ledgers and crossbeams and consists of a series of welded components with V-pressure. It can be used together with an integral wedge shank or as an open end variant.

Quickwedge Ledger / Horizontal

Scaffolding tubes with wedge fixation devices are used to make this component, which is placed on the uprights or standards longitudinally. They can be used both inside and outside the scaffolding in WA, at the level of the platform in the interior and as a handrail on the outside.

Quickwedge crossbar

Used to form a frame as well as to set the internal and external standards transversely while used in conjunction with V-pressed verticals, these cross members are T-sections that have wedge fixing components at the ends.

Access ladder access

It is a simple part that is used to create an easy way to access the platform via stairs. This component links the coupler to a ledger, while the “C” is placed in the opposite ledger and the slat tables are secured together with the transom.

Scaffolding Bracing

It is used to form a facade reinforcement by securing its captive pivoting wedge accessories, which are welded at each end to the vertical pressure / verticals.

Toe Board Bracket

It is subject to the verticals located at the end of the system of stages to hold the board of tips of wood or steel.

End Toe Board Bracket

The components of this scaffolding system in Perth are painted for corrosion resistance and revised quality for low or no maintenance costs.

Collet Racks

Collet racks are used in the industry for a very long time. These collet racks are used to hold collet chunks safely and securely.

Collet racks what Uratech manufacturers are made of cold rolled steel and powdered coated to avoid rusting. But there are many different types of collet racks available. They have specifications like ER, DA, TG and etc. In this article we are going to see about these specifications.

A Collet is a subtype of chuck that forms a collar around an object to be held and exerts a strong clamping force on the object when it is tightened, usually by means of a tapered outer collar. It may be used to hold a work piece or a tool. These collets are small in size, different varieties of collets were used for different tools, and hence a CNC or a VMC machine needs more collets in their workplace.

Due to its size and quantity scattering it in the workplace may make the area very clumsy. Whenever we are searching for those collets, it’s very hard to find all the things in the same place or there might be more opportunity for losing some or getting damaged.

For collecting these collet chunks there are tray like structures available in the market. Uratech too designs one such product called collet racks and we have some special unique features that make us to stand different in the market.

Most probably these collet racks simplifies the work and sets all the collet chunks in a single place for handling and cuts off its maintenance cost.

ER

• How does the name ER exists? The “ER” name came from an existing “E” collet (which was a letter series of names) which Rego-Fix modified and appended “R” for “Rego-Fix”, who developed this system and got patent for this.
• The ER collet is well-suited only to cylindrical parts due to its geometric specifications, and not typically applied to square or hexagonal forms of collets.
• It can hold any diameters ranging from its nominal size to its 1mm-smaller collapsed size.

DA

• Double Angled (DA) collet rack is another type of collet holder model according to the chunks specifications.
• Provides a strong grip for most drilling, reaming, and tapping applications.

TG

• TG collets are highly efficient and more accurate, but a little expensive too.
• More tool holders are available in ER style than TG. Both have about same TIR (single value for the runout) accuracy.
• Yes TG collets can grip more than ER collets, 90% or the applications ER collets are more than strong enough.

Each of them differs in the range of mm to drill the accuracy. Collet rack is one such a beautiful invention to keep these effective collet chunks grouped in one rack, which makes it more efficient for the employers to access all the chunks in a single rack.

People living in the block of flats often face the problem of low water pressure. One solution to this issue is to keep the buckets filled, but this turns out to be a tiresome process.

There are numerous other ways to tackle this. One such approach can be installing your water storage system on height and using a pump along with that. The height of the tank will generate pressure for the items below it which will ensure a high-pressure flow for you.

But with the advancement in technology, the problem can be solved by installing a Water Pressure Booster System.

What is a Water Pressure Booster System?

It is a system which provides an accelerated flow rate to slow running water. It is considered one of the best solutions. After all, the low-pressure water supplies are quite annoying and inconvenient.

There can be a number of reasons that answer the question – “Why my pressure system is not as good as before?” Some of them are:

1. Dirt or inclusions within the pipe which provides a restricted flow to the water.
2. Aging of pipe i.e. wearing away of minerals within the pipe which causes decreased flow rate and diameter.
3. Usage of the same water line by a large number of people etc.

In order to figure it out, the following steps should be followed:

1. Firstly, you need to find out the reason for causing restricted pressure flow within the pipe.
2. To check the pressure, check the gauge on the water pump when the pump is in running condition.
3. If the case is of leakage, and that too at few points, then it can be fixed easily.
4. If the pressure still doesn’t improve, a water pressure booster system can be installed to increase the pressure and flow rate within the system.

ATE Enterprises Private Limited has engineered a completely microprocessor-controlled pressure boosting system. HyP-EXE is designed to cater to the needs of both commercial and residential applications.

The unique features of HyP-EXE Water Pressure Booster System provide the following advantages:

1. Easy Installation:
   The basic advantage of these systems is that they are easy to install. All you need to do is take the pump out of the truck, connect it in its right place, connect it to the power supply and you are all good to go.
2. Single source of Responsibility:
   In case of any problem in the system, overview it and call the authorized person. They’ll fix it.
3. Efficient Manufacturing Processes:
   These systems are manufactured in a controlled and efficient environment which results in high-quality products. Consequently, it minimizes the risk of any further problems.

One thing that you should consider while equipping such systems is the size. It is primarily dependent on the number of users connected to the system & the volume of water.

The biggest transformation for mankind has been the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th Century. Jump up 200 years to the 21st Century and we have surpassed generations of technology and have entered an era we now know as “Industry 4.0”.

It’s the era of automation and manufacturing processes are now controlled by machines themselves unlike the manual intervention in earlier times. IIoT is categorically a sub-domain of the Internet of Things (IoT).

Industrial IoT is the integration of industrial equipment and heavy-duty manufacturing machines with computers and smartphones to provide Industrial Automation Solutions. The benefits of implementing Industrial IoT for manufacturing processes are vast and the evolving automation industry is now dependent on it more than ever.

Predictive Maintenance with Industrial IoT

IoT devices generate large amounts of data. Cisco, which does a pretty decent job of analysing such things, estimated that by the year 2020, we will be producing 14.1 zettabytes of data. That is an extremely massive amount.

Industrial IoT with the integration of Machine Learning and Big Data, analyses the huge amounts of data produced by the interconnected machines, constantly interacting with each other. Industrial Automation Solutions then generate efficient models for subsequent maintenance sessions.

Downtime costs manufacturing industries millions of dollars on an average. Predictive maintenance significantly reduce downtime losses and not just saves money, but also saves the most valuable time.

Efficient Asset Management

An efficient asset management system is a predominant application of Industrial IoT. Spread across various sectors, it can be used to assess the value proposition of each functioning asset of the company. Most importantly, it will prevent over utilisation and under utilisation of an asset along with monitoring its location, lifetime value, and their overall worth. Another study by Cisco shows that in the next ten years, most companies will be leveraging Industrial Automation Solutions to harness over 25% of profits with effective asset management. Industrial IoT brings specificity for each manufacturing type to ensure the most efficient asset management.

Remote Control and Diagnosis

The fundamentals of IoT were developed for the purpose of remote controlling and diagnosis with minimal human intervention at the physical end. Most processes can be controlled at a central server end.

Smart Industrial Automation Solutions along with predictive maintenance help in initiating diagnosis and repair solutions remotely from the software end. It also lets you manage the automated supply chain processes with just your smartphone.

Industrial IoT also helps analyse the working conditions of your warehouse and adjust elements like temperature, vibrations, and many more parameters required for optimal functioning of the procedure.

The industrial era we live in will have become completely automated with Industrial IoT by the year 2020 and is expected to touch the 3 trillion USD mark as predicted by the authoritative NASSCOM.

Companies have leveraged the powerful implementation of IIoT in not just manufacturing firms but in every sector of the market. This smart paradigm shift has resulted in better safety, efficient production and significant cost-reduction.
