Achieve precise fluoride analysis

The advancement of chemical sensing techniques has enabled online monitors to be applied in analysing and controlling the fluoride concentration in water. An understanding of their limitations, however, is essential in ensuring the validity of the results and the capability to comply with regulatory standards.

Are you making the right decision with your old UPS?

Within a data centre there is the inevitable choice of what to do with an old UPS. Selecting the right option is not as straightforward as one may think. Should you replace the UPS with a new one? Upgrade the current UPS and extend its life? Or do nothing and run it to fail? While pondering these questions you need to simultaneously take into account the present UPS conditions and its capabilities, and keep in mind your future requirements and constraints.

Poor compressed air servicing bloats energy costs by 25%

Poorly maintained compressed air systems can increase energy costs by more than 25%. But businesses using compressed air often rely on ad hoc servicing, which is not sufficient to keep the systems in shape.

Energy management is no longer just for power hogs

Companies that are not in energy-intensive industries, such as discrete manufacturers, have long been sceptical that investing in energy management pays off. But the endless drive towards efficiency, higher energy costs and stricter regulations are about to change the game.

Precise measurement key to biogas meeting its green promise

Biogas produces clean, green electricity capable of helping reduce global CO2 and methane emissions. But producing biogas itself is a dirty process, prone to wide variations in operating conditions and product throughput.

Confined spaces in the water industry - the risks and how to address them

Some of the worst places to work in are confined spaces, the main reason being that they are not built for that purpose - their purpose is the storage of equipment or they are used as an entry/exit point for inspections and tests, etc.

Don’t just go with the flow

Magnetic flowmeters are ubiquitous in many water and wastewater industrial and residential applications. Most know the many benefits and importance of the accurate measurements achieved using magnetic flowmeters; however, many may not realise that diagnostic advances have made these instruments easier to use and even more valuable.

The top five ways to start reducing your energy costs

Find out which are the top five energy measurement priorities to best initiate savings and eliminate waste.

Proper instrumentation can help you to identify where and how energy is being consumed, so that you can start using less and saving more.

Hidden energy savings: how your pumps can save you money - an eBook

Unseen, and these days often unheard, pumps are at the very heart of most industrial processes. In fact, the huge number of pumps in action worldwide means that pumping systems account for a high percentage of the global energy use. But being ‘out of sight and out of mind’ and usually highly reliable, it is easy to ignore the impact pumps can have on bottom lines.

Save up to 15% of your company’s annual fuel cost

Fuel is the largest fleet operating expense, so efficient fuel utilisation is essential for running a profitable business.

What does green retrofitting mean for you?

The new trend for designing sustainable, energy-efficient buildings has taken a further step: green retrofitting of existing corporate properties.

The human element of the Safety Advisor's job - things that can (and do) go wrong

Health and Safety Advisors are the heart of the organization in terms of knowledge about health and safety issues and preventing incidents. However, they are still humans, which means that they too can make mistakes.

Improve operational efficiency and provide a better customer experience

The cloud has taken the place of expensive and often limited on-premise infrastructure. With unprecedented integration to back-office information, the data becomes a new value-creating capability.

Now, there is an even greater opportunity for transformational improvements in productivity and service levels. What is this innovation?

 

Magnetic flowmeters - improved technology delivers overall savings

So many companies operate on status quo and lag behind when it comes to effective purchasing based on capital outlay versus ongoing operational cost...

Designing a metering system for small and medium-sized buildings

With rising energy costs, environmental pressures and unreliable power supply, there is a need for sustainable design and energy efficiency in new and existing commercial properties. There are a number of ways existing building owners and facilities managers can adapt and benefit by installing an effective WAGES (water, air, gas, electricity, steam) metering system. The ultimate goal is for buildings to produce more energy than they consume.
