Kyle Petitt What is Desalination? Desalination is the process of removing the salt from saline water to make it into drinkable freshwater. Once in the form of fresh water it can be distributed for consumption, agriculture, and other industrial processes. While roughly 70% of the earth’s surface is covered by water, only approximately 0.007% of […]
Product safety and quality are paramount in the food and beverage industry. For many products, those factors rely on pasteurization systems that use electric heaters. The Use and Importance of Pasteurization in the Food Industry The pasteurization process applies heat to the food industry and beverage industries. Although the technology has evolved, the fundamentals of […]
Electric heaters play a critical role in power generation. In nuclear power they are a driving force, creating the steam that turns in the turbines. Although gas turbines use combustion, not steam, electric heaters can still play an important part in safety and in ensuring the longevity of the turbine system. This is achieved through […]
A long-lived, efficient heating system relies on proper maintenance and regular cleaning. Industries that use hydraulic or lubrication systems need oil flushing to keep equipment in good working condition. Although there are three main different methods of industrial oil flushing they all serve the same basic purpose. Removing contaminants from hydraulic and lube oil […]
Guest Post: Professor Alina Adriana Minea Fluids are essential for many heat transfer processes in the majority of engineering equipment. Conventional heat transfer fluids include water, ethylene glycol, thermal, and engine oils. Modern processes present a tremendous need for enhancing thermal processes. Especially regarding finding new solutions that may favor the miniaturization of components for […]
