Valves are an essential component in many industries. They're used to control the flow of liquids, gases, and other substances. However, with so many different types of valves and valve components available, selecting the right one is a challenging task.
A baghouse is a type of air pollution control equipment which is used to remove particulate matter, or dust, from industrial processes. It works by filtering air through a series of fabric bags, capturing the dust and particles before they are released into the atmosphere. Baghouses are responsible for cleaning the air, which is especially important for workers in an industrial setting. Otherwise, these workers would be left to inhale dust and other potentially harmful particles.
Steam valves play a vital role in the operation of many industrial facilities, like power plants and biomass power stations. There are many rules and regulations around them. For example, it is a legal requirement that high-pressure steam valves, including manual valves, control valves and safety valves, are serviced each year following PSSR regulations.
Manual machining is a dying art, and is desperate need when you suffer a breakdown in an industrial environment. London used to have blossoming engineering support particularly in and around the docklands area. When a breakdown is suffered, a CNC machine will rarely be the answer. CNC machines are used for latch batch production and the item that will get you out of trouble may just be a one off. This is when you need a skilled manual machinists who can reverse engineer to precision, working 24 hours a day with stock of raw materials to minimise breakdowns.
As the world's population grows, so does our general waste output. London alone produces between 1.5 million to 1.75 million tonnes of food waste per year. That's a lot of waste, and if it goes to landfill, then it has a huge impact on the environment. If this residual waste is burnt in the open air, then it produces carbon dioxide, further harming our planet.
To be able to burn waste at energy from waste power stations, waste grabs must be fully maintained. A grab refurbishment is like a car MOT on steroids. You can do the bare minimum, or you can upgrade hydraulic faults and solve wear issues to dramatically increase the working hours thus reducing downtime.
