How Industrial Analyzers Promote Environmental Sustainability

Image
We are currently living in an era where sustainability is a top priority for businesses worldwide. Organizations are continually searching for innovative ways to reduce their environmental impact while maintaining efficiency. One of the most effective strategies involves the use of industrial analyzers, particularly in sectors that heavily rely on acid-based processes, such as semiconductor manufacturing, mineral processing, and metal finishing. These analyzers play a crucial role in acid management, waste reduction, and resource conservation, thereby contributing significantly to a greener industrial landscape. What are industrial analyzers? Industrial analyzers are advanced instruments utilized to monitor and control chemical processes in different industries. These devices measure crucial parameters, such as acid concentration, pH balance, impurity levels, and overall process efficiency. By providing real-time information and insights, industrial analyzers help industries optimize r...

ASRA – HIGH SOLIDS REMOVAL SYSTEM

Image
The ASRA system is specifically designed to effectively remove high to very high concentrations of suspended solids from mixed and single acid processes. These processes include hot rolled and annealed stainless and titanium flat product pickling, de-glassing, and pickling of stainless extruded products. Thanks to its efficient filtration technology, the ASRA eliminates the need for cleaning solids accumulation from the process bath, enabling almost indefinite operation. This makes it a highly efficient alternative to sedimentation and other traditional filtration methods that are often inefficient in high-solids applications.

Health and Safety Risks Associated with Waste from Stainless Steel Production

Image
 Modern industry has kept stainless steel production as a cornerstone that provides important materials for – automotive, construction, medical equipment and numerous other sectors. However the process of manufacturing stainless steel produces significant waste that gives birth to serious health and safety risks if not managed properly. This blog will explore the probable risks and demonstrate the innovative acid management solutions of Scancon to mitigate all the issues. The Nature of Waste in Stainless Steel Production During the stainless steel production process, a variety of hazardous wastes are generated. These include: Spent acid solutions Stainless steel finishing processes, including passivation and pickling, rely on strong acids, including hydrofluoric acid (HF) and nitric acid (HNO3). After long period, these solutions become contaminated with dissolved impurities and metals that create spent acid waste. Metallic sludge The chemistry between acids and s...
