# 29 Hydrostatic Pressure Testing of Shower Components

Hydrostatic (Hydro) Pressure Testing is a process whereby pressure retaining components, such as valves, piping systems, gas cylinders, boilers and pressure washers are tested for strength and leaks. Typically a hydrostatic test rig is used to test components and assess the capability and performance of components for industrial use. The term test rig is sometimes also referred to as test bay, test bench, pressure test facility and testing station, but they all refer to...Read more

 
# 28 IBC Cleaning
 

An intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) is a reusable industrial container used for the transport and storage of oil, chemicals, food/beverages, solvents, pharmaceuticals and other liquids. IBC's are made of polypropylene, encased within a mental cage and fixed to a wooden or metal pallet suitable for transportation by forklift, the most popular size is 1000L capacity. IBC's currently account for approx. 15% of the global packaging market; due to the high operational performance and cost efficiency the annual growth rate is around...Read More

#24 Coal-Bed Methane Extraction

Britain’s almost-forgotten coal seams are getting a wake-up call as engineers develop methods to realise the potential of coal-bed methane (CBM), the naturally occurring hydrocarbon gas that is trapped in the carbon structure of coal. At Doe Green near Warrington on the north bank of the River Mersey, Nexen Exploration UK Limited is now running a pilot production CBM extraction plant which is providing sufficient high quality gas to generate 0.5 megawatts of electricity (Fig. 1). Such is the quality of the gas and the potential resources available, further commercial exploitation is a distinct possibility. Read more
