Managing Waste under the New Hazardous Waste Generator Rule – Strategies for Success

Combustible dust poses a hazard to numerous industries, such as food, wood, chemical, plastics, and metals. Dust fires and explosions are relatively rare, but when they occur, they can be catastrophic. The first step to ensure safe operations involving combustible dust is to conduct a dust hazard analysis. This webinar will provide viewers with a guide to identifying combustible dust hazards in manufacturing facilities. The topics will include developing a dust sampling plan, principles of dust clouds and ignitable atmospheres, and mechanics of dust flash fires and explosions. The webinar will then cover how to analyze processes and buildings to determine where dust fire and explosion hazards exists by evaluating normal and abnormal operating conditions, potential ignition sources, and existing safeguards in place.

It is estimated that approximately 25% of the maintenance budget in process industries is absorbed by field instrumentation. Depending on their service, in-line pH measurements can burden engineers with a very high maintenance demand; not only with the frequent replacement of electrodes but also their cleaning and calibration which can take up to an hour per installation. With the revolutionary Intelligent Sensor Management (ISM) platform, METTLER TOLEDO has launched a breakthrough in pH measurement and maintenance.

PFAS are highly functional chemistries that have been used in consumer products such as textiles and leather for clothing and footwear, in non-stick cookware and in paints and construction materials.

The lab is running smoothly, but you are getting pressured to increase efficiency. You have hesitated to upgrade the lab data system; you fear it will be expensive and time consuming.
