Even when school is closed, air quality is important to maintaining a healthy indoor environment. Now that we are implementing reopening strategies, it’s imperative that we do all we can to protect students, teachers, and staff—and the families they will be going home to. While social distancing and face masks are still the most important protective measures against the spread of COVID-19 in schools, ventilation systems offer opportunities for prevention as well. The CDC and other advisory groups recommend that we “Improve central air filtration [...]

By Gerald Ondrey | July 1, 2020 Used for everything from purifying a liquid product, or recovering a solid product from a gas or liquid solvent, to environmental applications such as air-pollution control and wastewater treatment, filtration is arguably one of the most widely used unit operations in the chemical process industries (CPI). As a result, no single filtration technology dominates the CPI. Instead, a wide variety of application-specific methods are constantly being developed and improved upon to handle a smaller class of filtration issues. Recent developments are [...]

Non-Destructive Paint Removal and Degreasing

lklahr2020-06-30T20:48:44+00:00June 30th, 2020|Cleaning|

You may already know that wet blasting is a clean, safe way to remove grease and paint for MRO, MX, and Reman applications. Toxic coatings are safely removed and contained in our closed-loop systems—eliminating airborne dust and associated hazards—and the need for PPE. In addition to the safety and sustainability of the Wet Tech Process, precision is an important advantage. Wet Blasting can be completely non-destructive, maintaining critical tolerances and profiles. Even achieving selective removal of unwanted coatings, with the right system and appropriate [...]

Custom Engineered Wet Blast Systems for Emerging Applications

lklahr2020-07-02T14:22:19+00:00May 30th, 2020|Cleaning, Finishing, Uncategorized|

The Fourth Industrial Revolution, whether you call it Industry 4.0, or Manufacturing 4.0, is opening doors to higher productivity, smarter workflows, and safer work environments. As we integrate advanced robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), IoT, additive manufacturing (3D printing), and smart energy, why not reinvent the ways in which we approach surface finishing? Wet blast systems have proven to outperform conventional manual, chemical and dry blasting processes, with the ability to combine steps, speed production and eliminate airborne dust and hazardous chemicals. And, [...]
