Professional Asbestos Removal for a Safe and Clean Environment
Leave a CommentAsbestos is a hazardous mineral fiber known for its heat resistance and insulating properties. Prolonged exposure to its fibers can lead to serious health risks, including lung diseases like lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma. Due to their harmful effects, the removal and disposal of asbestos-containing materials must be handled by trained professionals following specific safety […]
Insulation for Maximum Performance in Facilities
Leave a CommentInsulation Uses: Thermal control: Prevents heat gain or loss. Keeps processes at a controlled regulated temperature. Freeze Protection: For water systems susceptible to below-freezing temperatures, insulation in combination with electric heat tracing is a technique used to prevent ruptured pipes and equipment. Condensation control: Prevents sweating or water buildup on the surface or other areas […]
Process Piping Systems
1 CommentSpecialized equipment installed in manufacturing facilities will require mechanical piping systems that are engineered to handle the rigorous conditions of their processes. Some of these conditions are: Temperatures: (Cryogenic -267F to Saturated Steam 2000F plus) Pressures: (Vacuum to HP steam at 2,000 psig ) Fluid types: Acids, caustics, corrosive and flammable chemicals, at various viscosities […]
Freeze Protection of Piping
Leave a CommentFreeze protection of water piping located outside or exposed to cold temperatures requires planning and adherence to proper specifications. Thermal insulation alone, even when applied correctly and in the proper thickness, does not necessarily prevent freezing. All electrical heat tracing manufacturers provide a specific heat loss calculation chart for selecting the proper heat trace wattage, […]
