As beer lovers, we are pretty certain that we know the beer brewing methods used by the mega-breweries pale in comparison to the love and attention we lavish on our own home brew recipes whether they be from the commercial brew brewing kits or our very own recipes.

But we owe a great debt to the commercial breweries and their history of improving the brewing process to the point where we can enjoy home beer brewing as the satisfying hobby that it is.

Way back in Mesopotamia some 50 centuries ago beer and bread were staples of the daily diet and both were produced in individual homes by the women of the time. While the process of fermentation was understood very early on, the various technologies required to centralize the brewing process into one location in greater quantities did not begin to come into use until the tenth century when European monasteries began to expand their beer brewing methods to include additional product which could be used as payment for the monasteries bills. The monks are also credited with much improving beer brewing recipes by coming up with adding hops to the process. The addition of hops was first mentioned in the eighth century and again in the tenth. This transition from primarily home brewed beer to also marked the exclusion of women from brewing responsibilities.

These early breweries were almost always built in multi story buildings and arranged so that the earliest stages of the brewing process took place on the highest floors so the brewers could depend on simple gravity to help move the product from one brewing stage to the next. The state of the brewery, with relatively few improvements such as the use of copper vats instead of wood, remained pretty much the same for several hundred years. It wasn’t until the 1700s that the brewery started to take on the appearance we would be familiar with today.

The development of the steam engine in 1765 brought the ability to mechanize aspects of the brewing process including the mixing and stirring of the batch. Pumps operated by steam power were also developed which gave the brewers the ability to mix more reliably while heating which reduced the possibility of the mash scorching. Overall, steam power gave the brewery the ability to produce larger quantities of beer since they no longer had to rely on just human powered mechanisms.

The next great improvement in brewery technology was in the late 1800s when the capability to refrigerate the beer was introduced. Before refrigeration, because yeast is extremely temperature sensitive, most beer was brewed in the cooler winter months in great enough quantities to last through the warm summers. With the ability to maintain the desired cool temperatures yeast requires, beer could now be reliably brewed all year round.

The work of Louis Pasteur was to also greatly influence beer brewing methods. The discovery that yeast is a living microorganism that fermented the wort lead to the development of pure yeast cultures chosen for their fermentation ability and flavors they produce.

Today’s modern brewery, whether huge or a local micro brewing operation, are almost all constructed from stainless steel which has distinct advantages over the materials used in years past. It does not flavor the beer itself in the way wood casks did, and it is very easy to clean since it doesn’t react with many chemicals.

Heating is now done with pressurized steam but some smaller breweries do use direct fire methods. Cooling is achieved by installing cooling jackets on the tanks. This arrangement helps control the temperature of each tank individually and very accurately.

Perhaps the best improvement in today’s breweries is the amount of testing that takes place for quality control. Not only is the batch sampled many times during the process for any impurities or unwanted variations, so also are the incoming shipments of the raw ingredients tested for compliance to quality standards.

Waste water refers to all effluents and sewage coming from various sources like industries, houses, agricultural activities etc.

On the basis of its origin waste water are mainly classified into two categories:

• DOMESTIC SEWAGE

• INDUSTRIAL SEWAGE

Domestic sewage includes all used up and spent water from houses, residences. It mainly carries water from kitchen, toilets and laundries.

Industrial Sewage is generated from water released from different commercial and manufacturing units such as textiles, printing, F&B, and production to name a few.

Waste water from all these sources contain suspended solids, hazardous substances, etc. which may cause serious threat to the environment. Thus treatment of this water is very necessary before discharging it into fresh water bodies.

In water treatment pollutants which causes harm to the environment are removed. These pollutants impose serious threat to the aquatic life and may also cause many water borne diseases.

The main objective of waste water treatment is thus removal of all impurities, toxic components from water so that it can be returned safely to the environment.

Coagulation and flocculation are the two most important processes carried in waste water treatment program.

Coagulant

Impurities are mainly present as colloidal suspensions in waste water. But the suspended solids settle out very slowly because they carry like electrical charges on the surface which cause repulsion.Thus coagulants carrying opposite charges are added to water which neutralize this surface charge and destabilize the repulsive forces among the colloids.

Both inorganic and organic coagulants are used in waste water treatment. An appropriate blend of both coagulants are very efficient in sludge generation.

Coagulant chemicals catered by Chemtex are:

• Polyamine,

• Poly DADMAC,

• Poly DCDA

• Ferric Chloride,

• Poly Aluminium Chloride.

This range of chemicals are very efficient in causing charge neutralization of water particles and help in easy settling of solid particles.

Flocculants

Flocculation is a very important process for waste water treatment. It is a physical process in which the coagulated particles are clumped together forming flocs. The flocculating agents are mainly polymeric compounds which form linkage among the flocs. The polymer chain gets adsorbed on the surface of the particles and the small flocs bind together forming bigger clumps or agglomerates.

Different types of poly electrolytes are used as flocculating agents.

The products which CHEMTEX cater under Polyelectrolyte Flocculant are Non-ionic Polyelectrolyte, Secondary Flocculation with polyelectrolyte, Dewatering Polyelectrolyte, Deoiling Polyelectrolyte.

These polymers have precise pH value and are water soluble which make them suitable for different industrial application.

Crawl spaces are a very important part of your home and could be costing you thousands of dollars each year without your knowledge. Your home works as a system, and that system plays a dramatic and important role that has the tendency to affect the entire structure of your home. Your crawl space could begin to develop black mold or dry rot if the proper steps are not taken to protect it. These elements could cause your home to experience structural problems or structural weakening, and this could cause foul odors, as well as affect children and adults suffering with breathing difficulties and asthma.

Moisture Sources

A majority of homeowners overlook windows, doors and vents as a possible source of moisture. By properly sealing off all windows, doors and vents, you can help prevent cold air, moisture and humidity from entering your crawl space. With the proper process, your crawl space expert can protect your home, reduce your monthly cooling and heating costs, saving you and your family money.

Structural Weakening

Structural weakening should be a huge concern to every homeowner. To protect your home from structural weakening it is highly recommended to schedule routine examinations. A large majority of homes that have structural problems or structural weakening show signs of uneven or warped floors and noticeable cracks on the interior walls, usually on dry wall or sheetrock, and damaged or rotted floor beams and floor joists. Structural weakening is caused by moisture, dampness and wetness in your basement. Sagging, uneven or warped floors are a very common problem, and caused by moisture in your crawl space. If this occurs it is best to resolve the problem before it becomes too significant. It is less costly to make small repairs than it is to replace an entire foundation.

Foul Smells, Odors and Mold

Typically basements and crawl spaces tend to be dark, cold, damp, occupied by bad smells and foul odors, and hazardous mold can develop. A majority of the time foul odors or bad smells coming from your crawl space is a sure sign your home has a hidden problem with mold.

There are various forms of mold that can quickly invade your home. The most effective way to rid your crawl space of foul odors and bad smells is to clean your space regularly, perform routine inspections looking for sources of dry rot or hollowed wood, and by using products recommended by your waterproofing contractors.

It’s best to find an expert that has a way of protecting your home from the elements that can take a toll on your home and your health, with the best and most proven products for long lasting crawl space solutions.

Solution

The best and most effective way to protect your home from moisture is to contact a certified crawl space contractor in South Carolina. A certified contractor will complete an on-site inspection, provide a professional consultation, provide a free estimate and recommend the best and most cost efficient way to solve the problem, discuss your options and give you plenty of time to make the best decision.

The precipitation-hardening stainless steels are iron-nickel-chromium alloys containing one or more precipitation hardening elements such as aluminum, titanium, copper, niobium, and molybdenum. The precipitation hardening is achieved by a relatively simple aging treatment of the fabricated part.

The two main characteristics of all precipitation-hardening stainless steels are high strength and high corrosion resistance. High strength is, unfortunately, achieved at the expense of toughness. The corrosion resistance of precipitation-hardening stainless steels is comparable to that of the standard AISI 304 and AISI 316 austenitic alloys. The aging treatments are designed to optimize strength, corrosion resistance, and toughness. To improve toughness, the amount of carbon is kept low.

The first commercial precipitation-hardening stainless steel was developed by US Steel in 1946. The alloy was named Stainless W (AISI 635) and its nominal chemical composition (in wt. %) was Fe-0.05C-16.7Cr-6.3Ni-0.2Al-0.8Ti.

The precipitation hardening process involves the formation (precipitation) of very fine intermetallic phases such as Ni3Al, Ni3Ti, Ni3(Al,Ti), NiAl, Ni3Nb, Ni3Cu, carbides, and Laves (AB2) phases. Prolonged aging causes the coarsening of these intermetallic phases, which in turn causes the decline in strength, due to the fact that dislocations can bypass coarse intermetallic phases.

There are three types of precipitation-hardening stainless steels:

– Martensitic precipitation-hardening stainless steels, e.g., 17-4 PH (AISI 630), Stainless W, 15-5 PH, CROLOY 16-6 PH, CUSTOM 450, CUSTOM 455, PH 13-8 Mo, ALMAR 362, IN-736, etc., – Austenitic precipitation-hardening stainless steels, e.g., A-286 (AISI 600), 17-10 P, HNM, etc., and – Semiaustenitic precipitation-hardening stainless steels, e.g., 17-7 PH (AISI 631), PH 15-7 Mo, AM-350, AM-355, PH 14-8 Mo, etc.

The type is determined by the martensite start and the martensite finish temperature (Ms and Mf) as well as the as-quenched microstructure.

During the heat treatment of precipitation-hardening stainless steels, regardless of their type, austenitization in the single-phase austenite region is always the first step. Austenitization is then followed by a relatively rapid cooling (quenching).

Martensitic Precipitation-Hardening Stainless Steel

During the heat treatment of precipitation-hardening stainless steels, regardless of their type, austenitization in the single-phase austenite region is always the first step. Austenitization is then followed by a relatively rapid cooling (quenching).

The martensite finish temperature (Mf) of the martensitic precipitation-hardening stainless steels – such as 17-4 PH (AISI 630), Stainless W, 15-5 PH, CROLOY 16-6 PH, CUSTOM 450, CUSTOM 455, PH 13-8 Mo, ALMAR 362, and IN-736 – is just above room temperature. Thus, upon quenching from the solution-treatment temperature they transform completely into martensite. Precipitation hardening is achieved by a single aging treatment at 480 °C to 620 °C (896 °F to 1148 °F) for 1 to 4 hours.

The martensite start temperature (Ms) of the martensitic precipitation-hardening stainless steels is required to be above room temperature in order to ensure a full martensite-to-austenite transformation upon quenching.

One of the empirical equations that is often used to predict the martensite start temperature (in °F) is as follows:

Ms = 2160 – 66·(% Cr) – 102·(% Ni) – 2620·(% C + % N)

where Cr = 10-18 %, Ni = 5-12.5 %, and C + N = 0.035-0.17 %.

Precipitation hardening in the martensitic steels is achieved by reheating to temperatures at which very fine intermetallic phases – such as Ni3Al, Ni3Ti, Ni3(Al,Ti), NiAl, Ni3Nb, Ni3Cu, carbides, and Laves phase – precipitate.

A lath martensite structure provides an abundance of nucleation sites for the precipitation of intermetallic phases.

Austenitic Precipitation-Hardening Stainless Steel

The austenitic grades are the least widely used of the three types of precipitation-hardening stainless steels. From a metallurgical point of view, they can be considered to be the precursors of the nickel-based and cobalt-based superalloys. An example would be the work on Fe-10Cr-35Ni-1.5Ti-1.5Al austenitic precipitation-hardening alloy, which was conducted before the Second World War.

The martensite start temperature (Ms) of the austenitic precipitation-hardening stainless steels – such as A-286 (AISI 600), 17-10 P, and HNM – is so low that they cannot be transformed into martensite. The nickel content of the austenitic precipitation-hardening stainless steels is sufficiently high to fully stabilize austenite at room temperature.

The highly stable nature of the austenitic matrix eliminates all the potential problems related to embrittlement, even at extremely low temperatures. The austenitic precipitation-hardening stainless steels are therefore very attractive alloys when it comes to cryogenic applications.

Strengthening is achieved by the precipitation of very fine, coherent, intermetallic Ni3Ti phase, when the austenite is reheated to elevated temperatures. Precipitation in austenitic precipitation-hardening stainless steels is considerably more sluggish compared to either martensitic or semiaustenitic precipitation-hardening stainless steels. For example, in order to achieve near-maximum hardening in A-286 (AISI 600), 16 hours at 718 °C (1325 °F) is required.

Like all precipitation-hardening stainless steels, the strength of A-286 (AISI 600) can be further increased by cold work prior to aging.

The austenitic precipitation-hardening stainless steels contain no magnetic phases and, in general, have higher corrosion resistance than the martensitic or semiaustenitic precipitation-hardening stainless steels.

Semiaustenitic Precipitation-Hardening Stainless Steel

The semiaustenitic precipitation-hardening stainless steels are supplied in the metastable austenitic condition. They may also contain up to 20 % of delta ferrite in equilibrium with the austenite at the solution temperature. The metastable nature of the austenitic matrix depends on the amounts of austenite stabilizing and ferrite stabilizing elements.

The martensite finish temperature (Mf) of the semiaustenitic precipitation-hardening stainless steels – such as 17-7 PH (AISI 631), PH 15-7 Mo, AM-350, AM-355, and PH 14-8 Mo – is well below room temperature. Consequently, their microstructure is predominantly austenitic (and highly ductile) upon quenching from the solution-treatment temperature.

After forming, the austenite-to-martensite transformation is achieved by a conditioning treatment at about 750 °C (1382 °F), whose main goal is to raise the Mf temperature to the vicinity of room temperature by the precipitation of alloy carbides (mainly chromium-rich M23C6 carbides). This, in turn, reduces the carbon and chromium content of the austenite (see the above given formula for Ms temperature which shows that if the amount of dissolved carbon and chromium in austenite is reduced, the Ms temperature is significantly raised). The transformation to martensite is completed upon cooling.

A cryogenic (subzero) treatment is required if a high conditioning temperature is used, typically 930 °C to 955 °C (1706 °F to 1751 °F). At such high temperatures, the amount of alloy carbides that precipitate is relatively small, rendering the Mf temperature well below room temperature. The strength of the martensite that is formed in this way (high-temperature conditioning + cryogenic treatment) is higher than that formed by transformation at lower temperatures, due to a higher carbon content of the former.

Stainless steel is steel which has chromium added to it. This gives the steel corrosion resistance properties, and these properties give the steel certain advantages. There are many different types of steels, and they are used for various applications such as sinks or basins and steel cutlery to name just a few.

Steels are graded according to their properties. Some may be very ‘hard’ and difficult to machine/fabricated (milling & turning etc.) whilst others may be relatively ‘soft’ and fairly easy to machine. Tough ones will reduce the life of the cutting tool whilst relatively softer steels will machine more easily and the life of the tool will be prolonged.

Duplex stainless steels are very resistant to corrosion and also have a high resistance to intergranular corrosion. They exhibit very high resistance even in sulphide and chloride environments, and have a high resistance to stress corrosion cracking. Super duplex grades exhibit even higher resistance to corrosion.

Due to the high content of chromium in them, temperatures of over 300 degrees centigrade can cause embrittlement, however at lower temperatures the steel has better ductility than ferritic and martensitic grades. Duplex grades of stainless steels can be readily used down to at least -50 degrees centigrade.

When machining or fabricating any types of steels, only tools dedicated to stainless materials should be used. Work and tooling surfaces should be clean to avoid any cross contamination by easily corroded metals that may discolour the surface of the machined product.

They do not harden if heat treated but it can be work hardened. Annealing (a softening up process) may be carried out by rapid cooling after heating to about 1100 degrees centigrade.

Due to the properties of duplex steels machining can be quite difficult, but the machining may be enhanced by using the following procedures;

o Dull edges cause work hardening so keep cutting tools sharp

o Light cuts should be taken but deep enough to prevent skimming the surface

o Use adequate amounts of coolants and cutting fluids

Some typical applications for duplex steels can include chemical processing, marine environments, oil and gas refining and pulp and paper manufacturing.

Hydronic heat exchangers or “steam” systems have been around with us since the 1800’s at the dawn of the Industrial Age. Steam engines changed the world of transportation almost overnight and steam heat or hydronic heat exchanger systems did the same thing residential and commercial heating.

Almost at the same time that the first steam boilers were made power the great railroad engines, manufacturing mills and cargo ships, steam heat found its way into the home. This is not an unnatural course of events considering the amount of heat that can be put out by steam; as anyone who has ever sat for long in a moist sauna can testify to.

The Theory behind Hydronic Heating Systems

These systems are actually very simple. The most common hydronic heat exchanger consists of three main components: the boiler (the heating source), the piping array and the heat exchangers (which transfer the heat from the water into warmth for the room.)

The process goes like this: water is heated and then either turned into steam or very near to boiling and is then piped to radiators (located through-out the house) or to thermal mass floorings (which absorbs the heat and slowly releases it into the room).

The 3 types of fuel sources for a hydronic heat exchanger are electric, gas or oil-fired boilers. Boilers can be made from cast-iron, stainless steel or copper. While there are different ways that each of these boilers are constructed, each with their own advantages and disadvantages, the main idea to understand that is each boiler is basically heating a closed-water system.

This means that any chronic lost of fluid can cause a problem. This is why the type of piping array becomes critically important to the overall system.

The Three Types

As you may have guessed by now, hydronic heat exchangers are most often classified by their piping arrangements:

o One-pipe or single pipe
o Two pipe
o Loop series

The oldest of their designs is the one-pipe array. A single pipe carries steam from the boiler to every radiator in the structure. The single-pipe has a layout made so that eventually gravity will pull the condensed water in the piping back into the boiler tank. A two-pipe system uses a second return pipe instead of gravity-induced flow to bring water back to the holding tanks.

Both single and two pipe systems were designed for steam-based heat exchangers but most modern units use hot water in a loop series of pipes as the heat conductors. This type of system offers a slimmer wall-mount, stainless steel heat transfer unit and has better energy-efficient water to air heat transfer rates.

Another advantage of this kind of hydronic heating is that if properly equipped will heat water for domestic uses like cooking, washing or bathing as well as water for external uses such as swimming pools, spas, hot tubs, garages or greenhouses. Plus looped pipe hydronic heat exchangers will not only provide heat in the winter months but can be used to circulate chilled water in the summer months to aid in overall cooling.

So as you can see modern hydronic heat exchanger systems can not warm you and your family in those cold winter months but also provide a low cost method of central air cooling as well.

Heat Pumps are devices which use small quantities of energy in order to move heat from one place to another. Usually they are used to pull heat from the air or the ground in order to warm a building. They can also be reversed in order to cool a building. They work much the same way as air conditioners do, except that they can do the work of both an air conditioner and a furnace. Therefore, when using heat pumps it is not necessary to install both heating and cooling systems – a single system performs both jobs. They are also more efficient than furnaces because they merely transfer heat rather than burn fuels to make it; but as a result, they work better in moderate rather than extreme climates. For people in moderate climates like Arizona, using heat pumps Arizona rather than furnaces and air conditioners can save considerable money on utility bills.

There are different types of heat pumps, but all of them operate on the principle of heat transfer, which means moving heat from one location to another rather than burning fuel to create it. Because of the second law of thermodynamics, heat naturally tends to flow from a place with a high temperature to one with a lower temperature. They use small amounts of energy to reverse that process, pulling heat from low temperature areas and moving it to high temperature areas – from a heat source such as the ground or air to a heat sink such as a building. A common type of heat pump is an air source one, which removes heat from air outside a building and pumps it through coils filled with refrigerant to the inside.

Air source heat pumps AZ consist of two fans, the refrigerator coils, a compressor and a reversing valve. One fan is used to bring outside air over the refrigerator coils, which transfer the heat inside where it is blown from the coils by a second fan and distributed through the building. The purpose of the reversing valve is to reverse the flow of refrigerant so the system operates backwards. Instead of pumping the heat inside the building, it releases the heat, like an air conditioner does. Then the refrigerant absorbs the heat inside the pump and carries it outside where it is released. Then the refrigerant cools down and flows back inside to take more heat.

Ground source heat pumps work the same way as air source ones except they absorb the heat from the ground, or from a body of water under the ground, and then transfer the heat indoors or vice versa when working in reverse mode. An absorption heat pump AZ is an air source unit which is powered by solar energy, propane, natural gas, or geothermically heated water instead of by electricity. The chief difference between air source models and absorption pumps is that instead of compressing the refrigerant, absorption ones absorb ammonia into water then a low power pump pressurizes it. The heat source boils the ammonia from the water and the process begins anew.

I love the fact that both soy and palm wax are eco-friendly, “green” waxes. A simple online search will tell you both waxes are plant based and virtually smoke and soot free. However, a side-by-side comparison of the candle making process with these two waxes is starkly different.

When it comes to eco-friendly wax, most of the candles you see for sale are made from soy. As a consumer, I didn’t care much for soy wax candles. To me, they had a strange odor to them. Refining processes have changed somewhat over the years and now odorless soy candle wax is available.

I had been making my own palm wax candles for months, but special attention is needed in order to achieve optimum beauty. To me it was well worth the extra effort to get the beautiful crystal patterns from the various types of palm wax; frosty crystals, billowy feathers, vertical grains, and even a puzzle-like tortoise shell designs.

After months of creating strictly palm wax candles, I decided to give soy a try and purchased some Golden Brands 464 soy wax. My first batch of candles was a disaster. I figured it had to be something I was doing wrong because everyone else loved the wax. I poured the candles in a stout 8 oz Mason jar, the square kind with rounded corners. After the candle hardened, the wax had formed a cloverleaf design with visible air pockets. That was easy enough to cover up with a blast from a hot hair dryer to remelt the wax, but I wanted to know what was causing it.

I thought maybe it had something to do with the candle dye, but a dyeless candle did the same thing. I had to dig deep on the search engines to troubleshoot my problem, but I eventually found it. I was heating the containers like I had done for palm wax. Heated containers and slow cooling are necessary for the crystals to form, however not for soy wax.

If you’re accustomed to making palm wax candles and would like to give soy a shot, here are some tips for getting the best results. Take note in the vast handling differences between the two waxes.

Palm Wax

Containers: Warm glass containers on lowest oven setting around 160-170 degrees.

Melting: Heat wax to 200 degrees or crystals won’t properly form.

Pour: Pour between 185-195 degrees into warmed containers.

Cooling: Cover with cardboard box until cooled to retain heat for as long as possible.

Soy Wax

Containers: Room temperature.

Melting: Heat wax to 185 degrees.

Pour: Pour at 135 degrees.

Cooling: Uncovered, out in the open.

Ice Makers are very easy to maintain and its functionality is very simple. The major three things that we need is electricity, water supply and a smooth floor drain. However, it is always advisable to read thoroughly the manufacturer’s literature before making a purchase to understand what your particular under ice machine will require. Even though after you bought the machine from market, you need to know its cleaning process for ice is also food that we eat. Often you have to so little bit maintenance not only to keep your ice tasting great but also it will prolong the life of your machine.

If you want to save money when shopping for an ice machine then there are some ways to be followed. However, it is for sure that your each purchase is an investment. Also it is necessary to check whether the Ice Machines you are going to purchase for your restaurant or hotel provide better energy.

We know that Ice Machines are the important commercial kitchen equipment and commercial restaurant equipment for a food service company. These machines come in an affordable price and simple to operate and maintain. Consider the things like size, Ice type, cooling system type, reliability, condenser, etc. Generally Ice Makers produce three different types of ice including different cube sizes and designs as well as flaked or nugget ice. The two types of cooling systems – air cooling machines, water cooling machines are the prime essential things to grow your business profits.

Commercial Ice Machines can be your big investment but by choosing a unit that works for your particular needs and situation is solely important. The size should be big indeed because if you need to large amount of ice to keep up with peak demand. However, ice producer is not only used in the food production arena but it can also be placed in the accommodations, healthcare centers, bars, etc.

One should pay proper care on maintenance of the ice machine especially in the areas where ice is produced and stored. That is why it is very important to follow a regular cleaning schedule for your ice machine. Hire a specialized ice machine cleaner to have a good result at least once in a month.
