What is solid waste management? Solid waste management refers to collecting, treating and disposing of solid wastes. These solid wastes come from different sources. Solid waste can be domestic, agricultural or even industrial wastes. Additionally, solid waste management needs monitoring of the entire process from collection to disposal. Solid waste can be recyclable also. Recycling at the sources reduces waste clearance costs. However, it is imperative to have a proper waste disposal process in place. The Central Pollution Control Board shares that the total solid waste generated daily in Indi ..read more

Ducting and piping are crucial components in many industrial processes. Mechanical design consultants use these terms commonly in industrial projects.  What is ducting and piping?  Ducting refers to a system of pipes or channels that convey air, gas, or liquid from one location to another. Piping transports liquids or gases within a facility from the storage location to the point of usage. Both ducting and piping are essential for maintaining the efficiency and safety of industrial operations. Both ducting and piping transport materials and products in different production stages. Du ..read more

The role of MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) consultants in industrial projects is very critical. They ensure through the design that there is an energy-efficient operation. These consultants collaborate with clients, architects, and industrial design consultants to design the MEP services in an industrial project. Responsibilities of MEP consultants in industrial projects: These consultants design Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing works in industrial projects. They ensure that the design complies with local regulations.  Coordination: These consultants collaborate with team ..read more

What is an electrical fire? An electrical fire is caused due to a failure or malfunction of electrical components of the equipment. Factory Fire safety consultants understand the importance of proper risk management before designing the fire risk management system. Electrical fire is one of the commonest causes of fire accidents in industries. Industrial fires due to faulty or broken electrical equipment cause about 70 per cent of industrial fires. A major reason for an industrial electrical fire is the lack of inspection, and a failure to adhere to safety regulations are the primary causes of ..read more

What is backup power?  Backup power is a device that provides instantaneous, uninterruptible power. Industrial consultants for electrical design recommend backup power in industries as the power supply from the Discom may not be reliable. It also means that backup power is a source of electricity at all times.  Typically, electrical design consultants for industrial projects use backup power for industries, security systems, servers etc. The backup power is recommended in places where the loss of power impacts productivity or causes a significant impact financially. Moreover, downtim ..read more

Why do we need lightning protection in industries?  Lightning protection systems help to reduce or avoid damage to the buildings and equipment inside the buildings from lightning. The electrical design consultants in industrial projects recommend lightning protection systems to protect electrical components and prevent fires and electrocution.  A lightning protection system’s main function is to intercept, conduct and disperse lightning to the earth.  Furthermore, large surface areas are more prone to lightning attacks. Industries that have flammable materials must have lightnin ..read more

What are Fire Suppression systems? Fire suppression systems are fire protection systems that extinguish, control and sometimes even prevent the spread of fires. Industrial consultants for fire safety prefer this system as they extinguish fires through heat absorption and depletion of oxygen.  Fire safety consultants use fire suppression systems for an extensive range of applications. These systems differ from fire sprinkler systems as the suppression agents are gas, chemical or foam instead of water. Heat, smoke or both activate the fire suppression systems.  When do consultants ..read more

Mechanical consultants for industrial projects use the words Utility piping and process piping very frequently. There is a difference between the two. However, both are a part of plant piping.  Pipes carry liquids, gases, slurry, and fine particles. The piping system includes pipes, pipe fittings, pumps, valves, and tanks. Process piping is needed in the food, chemical, textile, paper, and pharmaceutical industries. Mechanical consultants for industrial projects design a utility and process piping system that is suited to the project requirements. What is utility piping? Utility piping is ..read more

A gas suppression system is a fire safety system that suppresses fire with the help of gases. Consultants for industrial fire safety recommend a Gas suppression system for areas where water can damage the electronic equipment. So, this suppression system is used for server rooms, data centres, power stations, and electrical rooms.   The gas suppression system uses gaseous suppression agents to suppress the fire. The components in a gas suppression system include the agent, storage containers, release valves, fire detectors, agent delivery piping and dispersion nozzles.  How ..read more

What is a fire alarm system?  A fire alarm system is a device or a set of devices that sets off a visible or audible or visible and audible alarm in a fire incident. The industrial fire design consultants design the fire alarm system based on the project’s requirements. Usually, in a “Total Design” project, the fire safety consultants form a part of the project team from the start. They participate in the design charrette. This helps in a proper understanding of the area allocation in the facility.  Additionally, this helps in optimising the design. A fire alarm system enables the oc ..read more
