  • Theory of Operation: How Parts Cleaning Works
    Theory of Operation: How Parts Cleaning Works MART defines the term to clean as to overpower the soils. The MART Parts Washer is a high-impact pressure, high-temperature, industrial water-based cleaning system that uses a combination of the following factors to achieve cleaning results: Power x Temperature x Chemical x Time = Clean The relationship of these variables can be varied in an infinite number of ways to achieve the same level of cleanliness. Your own needs determine the relative value of each variable. Keep in mind that the MART Parts Washer provides one of the highest blasting powers in the cleaning industry, allowing you to reduce the wash-cycle times for your parts to a minimum. Additionally, the high blasting power allows you to operate the washer at lower cleaning temperatures, thus saving energy, and using less chemical than spray washers The exact combination of the factors must be determined for your application, based on the types of soils to be removed, the degree of cleanliness required, the cycle time required, the types of parts to be cleaned, and so on. How the Parts Washer Works The parts washer operates on a timed cycle. The operator places the parts to be cleaned in the washer on the turntable, closes and latches the door, and then starts the timed cleaning cycle. During the cleaning cycle, a high-temperature, high-pressure, water-and-detergent cleaning solution blasts soils from the parts. After the cycle has stopped and the steam has exhausted, the operator removes the cleaned parts. The parts washer utilizes closed loop, waste minimization technology, continuously reusing its cleaning solution and effectively reducing pollution potential.

  • The Biomatic® Parts Cleaning System Is…
    BIOMATIC® The Environmentally Friendly Bioremediation Parts Washer 1 The Biomatic® Parts Cleaning System Is… • A Bioremediation System. The Graymills Biomatic Parts Cleaning System uses the natural technology of microbial bioremediation to reduce oils, greases and other hydrocarbons introduced into the cleaning system to water and carbon dioxide (CO2). No oil and hydrocarbon buildup means the unit continues to clean parts indefinitely (we recommend cleaning the tank once a year, but the fluid can be put back in for continued use if desired.) • A Waste Minimization System. Talking to your customers about “waste minimization” will get their attention. With the Graymills Biomatic Parts Cleaning System, users will go from monthly dumping of fluid and unit cleanup…to once a year. That’s a “waste minimization” sales story few customers can resist. • A Tough Cleaner. Aqueous based Super Biotene® is pH neutral with a mild, pleasant odor. A mixture of emulsifiers and surfactants, they contain no VOCs, so they’re EPA and air quality friendly! Super Biotene cleans grease and grime off even the dirtiest parts, then the microbes go to work, reducing the hydrocarbon contaminants (oils, greases) to water and CO2. • A Good Investment. Recycling costs are slashed…parts cleaner waste is minimized…the dirtiest parts come clean…and the system is operator friendly. 2 How The Biomatic® Parts Cleaning System Works It is important to understand that the Biomatic® Parts Cleaning System is more than individual products - it is a total cleaning environment. The Biomatic Parts Cleaning System relies on the perfect balance between the Super Biotene® cleaning solution and the microbes introduced into the system.

  • Civil Engineer Vs Architect- Differents in Job, Salary
    Civil engineer vs Architect- Differents in Job, Salary If you are a civil engineer or an architectural engineer then I think I need not describe about Civil engineer vs Architect to you. Right?. You should already have some knowledge about them. Don’t you? Not to worry even you don’t know, I am here to explain it to you. But, if you are choosing to be graduate among civil engineering and architectural engineering, then you are at the right place to know “Civil engineer vs Architect” In any construction work or creation of structure like a bridge, building, airport, etc there require good knowledge and understanding of civil and architecture engineers. The skill of both professions is most required for the aesthetic and stable structure to be made. If the structure is attractive in look but not safe for landing or using, then there is no point in constructing a structure or if the structure is safe but not well manage for efficient work then also there is no point in constructing the structure. So, in short, you can understand the work of an architectural engineer is to manage and give an aesthetic look to the structure and the work of a civil engineer is to analyze and make a safe structure. However, there are some considerable differences between Civil engineer vs Architect. Let us discuss this. Civil engineer vs Architect S.N Architecture Engineer Civil Engineer Architecture engineers initialize the construction through their design. The After that the remaining designing of structure for 1 work for civil engineers aesthetic purpose means to give to proceed.

  • FACTSHEET 3: Introduction to Solar Thermal Heating
    FACTSHEET 3: Introduction to Solar Thermal Heating Introduction The sun’s energy is free and abundant, and can be used to provide green and renewable hot water for a variety of domestic and commercial situations. For Solar Thermal Water Heating systems solar collector panels are installed on roofs facing between South West and South East (the more south facing the bet- ter the performance). These collectors absorb the sun’s energy and change it into heat, which is then used to heat water. There are two main types of col- lector plates, and several different ways these can be used to provide hot water. 1. Types of Solar Collector Plates a) Flat Plate Collectors The most common panels for solar water heating are FIGURE 1: INSTALLATION OF EVACUATED TUBES flat-plate collectors.

    ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING SCHX1001 Course Material UNIT I INTRODUCTION TO ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES AND NATURAL RESOURCES Environment [1] The complex of physical, chemical, and biotic factors (as climate, soil, and living things) that act upon an organism or an ecological community and ultimately determine its form and survival. The aggregate of social and cultural conditions that influence the life of an individual or community. Biotic and Abiotic Components of Environment Natural environment includes all the living and non-living components occurring naturally on Earth. The biological components of the ecosystem that is the biotic components interact with the physical entities (abiotic components). The scientific study of the interaction of biotic community with each other and with abiotic components is known as Ecology. Abiotic Components The abiotic components are also known as the abiotic factors. The abiotic factors in ecology consist of the non-living and physical factors of the environment. Non-living components like pH value, solids, water, intensity of light as energy source, temperature of the atmosphere, humidity, physical factors of land like altitude, gradient and region and microclimate. The abiotic components have a strong influence on the distribution, behavior, relationship and structure of the living organisms. Biotic Components Biotic components are the living factors of the ecosystem. A biotic factor is any living component that includes a number of interrelated populations of different species in a common environment. A biotic factor can be any organism that affects any other organism including animals that consume other organism and food the organism consumes. Biotic factors in an environment require food and energy to survive.

It begins with an idea and culminates in a structure that may serve its occupants for several decades, even centuries. Like the manufacturing of products, building construction requires an ordered and planned assembly of materials. It is, however, far more complicated than product manufacturing. Buildings are assembled outdoors by a large number of diverse constructors and artisans on all types of sites and are subject to all kinds of weather conditions. Additionally, even a modest-sized building must satisfy many performance criteria and legal constraints, requires an immense variety of materials, and involves a large network of design and production firms. Building construction is further complicated by the fact that no two buildings are identical; each one must be custom built to serve a unique function and respond to its specific context and the preferences of its owner, user, and occupant.
