Through environmental engineering products, water that passes through pipes and waste are cleansed. It is important for these to be used appropriately.
Handling of Pipes
For a compressed air system, allot more time for the steel pipe. Threading is necessary for this kind of pipe. Fittings have to be proper and the pipes have to be joined together. Equipment for special threading is used. Only employees of the piping contractors in Singapore who are skilled for the craft may do the installation. The value for the labor is higher than the regular kind of employee. Expect the employees to do the dirty work in a satisfactory manner.
A good thread is produced from fluids that are cut. These are cleared up on the pipe in using the system. In the process of threading, debris may be present. Maintenance and modification of a steel pipe is challenging. The heaviness is evident than other kinds of materials. When there is moisture found in the steel pipe, rust has potential visibility. Despite having a trap for moisture, it is possible for corrosion. In the presence of corrosion, there is restricted air flow.
Deposits of loose scale accumulate as time goes by. Pressure drops are created for the air compressor to function better. The presence of loose scale causes a clogged line and equipment to be damaged. Quality of air becomes affected and is not favourable when clean air is present. Threading on pipes may cause leakage. When the system has compressed air, approximately eight to 10 percent may leak. Cost for utility may rise because of compressors that operate longer.
Wastewater Treatment
Wastewater treatment in Singapore is necessary because of contaminants. Biological organisms that are aerobic need biochemical oxygen demand. Organic matter is broken down into tiny particles. When there is a high level of this contaminant, biodegradable material may have higher volume. A runoff of fertiliser or the presence of fecal waste may cause this material. With a raised level, the necessary oxygen is decreased.
There are pathogens in the form of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microorganisms. When these are present, acute sickness, death or extreme digestive concern is possible. In the scenario of not being cured, diseases may develop. Among them are cholera, salmonellosis, botulism, dysentery, and hepatitis A. Food and drink that are contaminated with these pathogens cause harm to the body. It is important to make sure that clean beverage is drank.
Phosphates and nitrates in wastewater may increase biochemical oxygen demand. An increase in weed, phytoplankton, and algae is possible. Lower volume of oxygen in the water known as eutrophication occurs. Organisms are killed and dead zones in the environment may exist. Waste from people and food, pesticides, and detergents may enter the wastewater. These cause contamination in the water quality and spreads into the surroundings.
At Glasmat, environmental engineering products are offered. These enable the quality of water supply to be favourable.
