Surface care for water storage tanks: above the waterline

Article Abstract:

Makers of water storage tanks and engineers should consider rustbleed alternatives based on the severity of the rustbleed problem and age of the structure. Other factors that must be considered are the total length to be sealed, the expected long- or short-term effectiveness of the method, mobilization (required rigging), ease of application and/or process involved, and cost. Rustbleed, which the appearance of reddish-orange discoloration and streaking along the surface or crevices, can be prevented or eliminated through seal welding, which permanently fills in small gaps; caulking or elastomeric sealants; and the application of seam sealers, also known as epoxy fillers.

Disposal method converts animal waste into fuel

Article Abstract:

EnerTech Environmental has developed the SluryCarb Process, which converts high moisture organic wastes into a clean, useable fuel. The process' ability to handle waste in liquid form and reliance on chemical engineering principles to carry out the job transforms waste into fuel and removes harmful elements from the fuel products before they form pollutants. With permission from the US Department of Agriculture, EnerTech Environmental will develop the process for pig, chicken and cow manure as well as other forms of biomass.

Market for physical waste treatment to gain five percent by 2003

Article Abstract:

The value of the physical waste treatment market will reach almost $6 billion in 2003, a 5% increase from 1999 figures. The study, conducted by the Business Communications Company Inc, looked into such technologies as filtration, absorption/adsorption and solidification/stabilization. The study also discussed hybrid technologies and other emerging waste treatment techniques. The study points to filtration as the technology that is currently enjoying the most interest.
