The world has shifted focus to reducing greenhouse emissions and introducing carbon-neutral and carbon-negative technologies. To accomplish this, scientists are developing new innovative tech such as electric immersion heaters. With a smaller environmental footprint and no loss in efficiency, electric heaters are driving these goals forward in all major industries. In large part, this is […]

Aboveground tanks come in all shapes and sizes and are used for storing everything from rainwater to petroleum, are generally constructed of long-lasting durable materials.
