AI and machine learning inspire the discovery/design of new materials and the processes to manufacture them. Autonomous R&D pushes the envelope for building predictive models and platforms that drive high-throughput innovation. How did we get here so fast, and where will this global megatrend take us?
Moving industrial fluids can be dangerous and costly. Proper equipment can mitigate some of the challenges that come from liquid transfers. This article covers fluid-transfer equipment that promises to reduce spillage and waste, and eliminate downtime, among other benefits.
By using modern mixing and dispersing technology, and centrally controlled peripheral devices with automated feeding and dosing of powder and liquid components, a Norwegian anti-fouling coatings manufacturer successfully tripled its production capacity at its new site, while keeping its staff levels the same.
Electrostatic application has increased transfer efficiency compared to airless spraying, resulting in reductions in overspray and waste, which, combined with low-VOC emissions, can provide a cleaner operation for applicators.
It all begins and ends with a clean hull. Bio-fouling management is a key to a cleaner shipping industry, however, bio-fouling increases fuel use and slows ships. High-quality anti-fouling coatings, as well as proactive monitoring and cleaning, can address decarbonization, protect bio-diversity, and save fuel.
Hughes Safety Showers has put together a helpful guide of the five most common effects and health risks of not having safety showers and eye washes properly maintained or regularly serviced, alongside the health risks this could lead to should staff need to use the safety equipment.
