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.
Ensuring your firm is sustainable will save you money, improve your operational efficiency, and help you attract eco-friendly consumers.

The 2024 RadTech UV&EB Technology & Conference, the world’s largest event dedicated to the educational, technical, and scientific advancement of ultraviolet (UV) and electron beam (EB) technologies, will take place May 20-22 at the Hyatt Regency in Orlando, Florida. This year’s theme is “Today’s Choices, Tomorrow’s Future: UV+EB for Sustainable & Responsible Manufacturing.”
Mercury vapor, light-emitting diode (LED), and excimer are distinct UV-curing lamp technologies. All three are used in various photopolymerization processes, but understanding the differences between them is instrumental in application and formulation development, UV-curing source selection, and integration.
Manufacturing processes in the coatings industry often result in significant waste generation and environmental impact. This article will explore how liquid product recovery
technology is revolutionizing the paint and coatings industry by minimizing waste, reducing resource consumption, and improving overall efficiency.
