What are Air Handling Units?  Air handling units or air handlers supply and circulate air in a building. Mechanical consultants recommend Air handling units, or AHUs, to extract air and contaminants and form a part of the HVAC system of the building.  Benefits of AHU AHU systems are a critical part of the HVAC system in any facility. These systems help in environmental control and the well-being of the workforce. These well-engineered systems are crucial in providing clean air inside the building. Some other benefits are:  Contaminant Mitigation: Industrial processes gener ..read more

Chilled water process cooling systems remove heat from industrial processes or equipment by circulating chilled water. Mechanical engineering design consultants use them commonly in manufacturing facilities where maintaining specific temperature conditions is crucial for efficient operation. Key Components The key components and features of process cooling systems based on chilled water are: 1. Chiller: The chiller is a central component of the system. It works as a refrigeration machine that removes heat from the water, lowering its temperature. Air-cooled and water-cooled chillers are common ..read more

What is industrial ventilation? Industrial ventilation means bringing in fresh outdoor air. Ventilation also helps control the environment by using airflow.  Types of ventilation The types of ventilation are as follows: General or dilution ventilation: This type of ventilation controls airborne contaminants and removes fumes, dust, and vapours. This type of ventilation supplies and exhausts large quantities of air from a building. The MEP consultants recommend this system to improve the air quality. As a result, the factory has a healthy and safe working environment. General ventilation c ..read more

Importance of industrial ventilation systems Industrial ventilation systems are pivotal in any industry. MEP design consultants for industrial projects design the ventilation system to maintain optimal indoor air quality, temperature, and overall environmental conditions. As MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) design consultants, and HVAC consultants in particular, are well aware, these systems are essential for the well-being of workers, the efficient operation of machinery, and compliance with safety regulations. Designing Industrial Ventilation Systems MEP design consultants, especia ..read more

Sewage and effluent wastes in industries Sewage and effluent are terms used to denote wastewater. While “Sewage” refers to wastewater from human waste from toilets, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, canteens, etc., “effluent” refers to industrial waste that is a process’s by-product. Both sewage and effluent systems form a part of the environmental engineering. Industrial Mechanical design consultants ensure that the treatment methods for both sewage and industrial waste are as mandated by the codes and standards.  Source:  Sewage primarily is the wastewater from toilets, sinks, showers ..read more

What is a Fire Hazard?  Fire hazards are a broad category of hazards in the workplace that have the presence of a flame, increase the probability of an uncontrolled fire or increase the severity of fire in a potential fire incident. Fire hazards also include anything that restricts the function of the fire protection system. Obstacles in the evacuation passage of the occupants is also a fire hazard.  Fire hazards are workplace hazards that either involve the presence of a flame, increase the probability that an uncontrolled fire will occur, or increase the severity of a fire should o ..read more

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
