What's involved in wastewater treatment? Wastewater is the combination of liquid and water waste from homes, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities. Wastewater treatment is a process of water and sewage purification, where contaminants are removed from effluent to allow the water to be returned to the water cycle with an acceptable impact on the environment. This process is commonly known as water reclamation. A wastewater treatment system should be made up of several technologies that...

What is HAZMAT? HAZMAT or Hazardous Materials are chemicals or agents that can injure humans or animals and damage the environment. These dangers can occur from either the hazardous materials themself or by interacting with them.  Materials such as chemicals, dust, fumes, vapours, biological agents, and gases can all be seen as hazardous materials. Any of these materials that are deemed as dangerous materials can cause serious harm, so it is vital they are handled correctly. Workers must ...

Gas in the Marine Industry  Several fuels, chemicals, and gases (sometimes liquid) can present themselves in the marine industry. These vary depending on the task at hand or the type of location in the marine industry. Still, all can be detected through fixed, portable or area gas detection and protected from using a range of personal protection equipment. Typical applications or locations within the marine industry that may be subject to the exposure of gas, or use gas as part of their proc...

Risks in the Construction Industry The construction industry and other associated trades are often at risk when building, digging and engineering at work sites. Working at a height and around gas can often put workers at risk, but they can also become subject to dust produced from the activities on site. Therefore, equipment should be in place on-site to reduce these risks by preventing incidents from occurring and protecting personnel. Gases Typically Found in the Construction INDUSTRY ...

  Chlorine (Cl2) is a gas that appears green/yellow and has a pungent, suffocating smell associated to the smell of bleach. Chlorine is in the ‘halogens’ gas family, alongside fluorine, bromine, and iodine. It is a toxic and corrosive gas that can irritate the human eyes and respiratory system. Chlorine doesn’t burn but supports combustion, similar to oxygen.     The creation of Chlorine dates back to the presence of ...

Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) is a chemical asphyxiant with a musky and almond-like smell that is slightly light blue in colour. However, some people often cannot smell it, making it even more dangerous as people can often not be aware of its presence, regardless of the concentration levels. Hydrogen Cyanide also mixes very well with air and can create a hazardous explosive mixture. HCN's boiling point is 26 celsius and its melting point is -13 Celcius.  Hydrogen...

  Nitrous Oxide (N2O) is a colourless gas used to induce drowsiness and pain relief and make people feel drunk or high. Dentists and medical professionals routinely use it to sedate patients undergoing minor medical operations. When used as a propellant for whipped cream, it is also a culinary additive, and it is utilised in the automobile industry to improve engine performance.   Infertility can result from long-term exposure. Liquid nitrous ox...

Use our colour-coded Gas Icon Key to determine whether gas is Toxic, Flammable, a VOC or Exotic. A B C D ...

  Phosphine (PH3), commonly known as hydrogen phosphide, is a colourless, flammable, highly poisonous gas with a garlic-like odour. Although phosphine is structurally identical to ammonia (NH3), it is a considerably worse solvent and is much less water-soluble.   When a strong base or hot water reacts with white phosphorus, or when water reacts with calcium phosphide (Ca3P2), phosphine is generated. Phosphine (PH3) has a boiling point...

  Oxygen (O2) is a colourless, odourless reactive gas. It is the most prevalent element in the earth's crust, mostly in oxides, silicates, and carbonates, and makes up just under 21% of the atmosphere. In addition to its usage as a respiratory gas in healthcare, oxygen possesses strong oxidising capabilities that can assist various businesses by increasing yields, enhancing performance, lowering costs, and lowering carbon emissions compared to alternativ...

What Gas Detection is Required in Distilleries? Those who operate a distillery or work in the administration and operation of one realise the significance of being aware of and protecting themselves from the harmful vapours that are produced in these surroundings. Distillation of biologically generated alcohols extracted from the fermented mash of various agricultural crops such as grain, wheat, rice, corn, sugarcane, and potatoes produces alcoholic spirits. The distillation process involves heating...
