Benefits of Dry Ice Blasting

What is Dry Ice Blasting?

Dry Ice Blasting, a kind of abrasive cleaning, is a process whereby dry ice (the solid state of Carbon Dioxide) is accelerated in a pressurized air stream to remove any undesirable contaminant off the underlying surface area of a material. These soft dry ice pellets are shot at high speeds to clean equipment in industries, such as semiconductor, food and aerospace, besides general maintenance works. 

Benefits of Dry Ice Blasting

• Effective Cleaning

Dry Ice blasting is one desirable cleanup process as it thoroughly cleans equipment. When the dry ice pellets hit a surface, it immediately undergoes sublimation, where the substance directly changes from solid to gas state without undergoing the intermediary liquid state. Thereby, it leaves only the residue of the undesirable contaminant and no secondary residue to be cleaned, which is the case of other procedures like sand blasting and water blasting. Additionally, the dry ice cleans crevices which are not reachable by hand or undetected by the naked eye. This eliminates the probability of a potential future leak. 

• In-Situ Cleanup Process

Dry Ice blasting is hassle free as it doesn't necessitate the need to disassemble and dislodge movable property that doesn't need cleanup. Due to the sublimation process, all the solid CO2 will disappear, leaving back only the residue. Therefore, in case of other types of blasting, there is no risk of other equipment in place getting hit by the harsh sand particles or getting wet by water.

• Saving Labour and Secondary Cleanup Cost

Due to the fact that Dry Ice Blasting is an in-situ cleanup process, the additional costs of manual labour of disassembling, moving equipment and transport are saved. Similarly, like water blasting or sand blasting, there is no additional residue like sand or water that needs to be cleaned up. The secondary clean-up process can turn out to be the actually challenge and Dry Ice Blasting eliminates that. This also saves a great deal of precious time and work can resume quickly due to the relatively less time required for cleanup. 

• An Eco-friendly Cleanup Process

With the rising environmental consciousness, Dry Ice Blasting is gaining the nod of many industries as the most viable and most eco-friendly cleanup method available. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) highly recommends CO2 blasting to industries. At the outset, this process uses Carbon Dioxide, which can be an industrial by-product. Thus, it recycles what would have been an industrial waste that would haphazardly affect our ozone layer. Secondly, it doesn't use harmful solvents. The sublimated CO2 gas is in turn used by plants and trees for photosynthesis, thus not affecting the ecological cycle.

Indicators for Identifying a Meth Lab

Meth labs are usually clandestine laboratories. Due to this, they might evade your eye and also due to the fact that meth labs use commonplace items that look ordinary to attract detection. With the following signs, one can identify a Meth lab and report to the local authorities for due further action.

• Due to their secretive nature, it is likely that the windows of the Meth house is covered with shades or foil with a “No Entry” sign.

• The dust bin indicates a lot of what a person habitually uses. Huge heaps of trash is a sure shot indicator of Meth labs. Meth cooking produces a large amount of chemical waste. Watch out for these ingredients: acetone, brake fluid, used cloths, cold tablet packaging, battery acid, sodium hydroxide, red phosphorous, bottles, paint thinner and antifreeze. However, do not venture to touch these, as they can be potentially harmful. 

• Alternatively, check out for burn pits or dead vegetation.

• Meth labs have a peculiar odour about them. These smells are like a hospital smell (ether), urine (ammonia), rotten egg stink or vinegar/sour (acetone).

• Pseudoephedrine is an important ingredient in Meth cooking. A large number of cold medication packages indicate the presence of a Meth lab. 

• Look out for propane tanks that have been discoloured to a blue-green tint. Meth lab cookers use these to store anhydrous ammonia, which is used in their cooking processes. Brass valve of propane tanks react with anhydrous ammonia.

Things you need to know about sewage problems!

If you're a homeowner, this is one of the worst nightmares you can experience. A sewage problem can be a nuisance, loss to property and as well as a huge health hazard. Torrential downpour deluge your property and neighborhood with rainwater, overwhelming your home’s sewer system or your sump pump’s ability to handle the water runoff.

Most people don't realize they are responsible for the maintenance and repair of a sewage system. Over a period of time, the sewer lines can easily deteriorate, crack, collapse or be obstructed. You might not have a clue that this kind of damage is occurring. One severe rainstorm may be all it takes to bring the problem to a head.

Here are some facts on sewage:

• Sewage is the term used for wastewater that often contains faeces, urine and laundry waste. 
• There are billions of people on Earth, so treating sewage is a big priority. 
• Sewage disposal is a major problem in developing countries, as many people in these areas don't have access to sanitary conditions and clean water. 
• Untreated sewage water in such areas can contaminate the environment and cause diseases such as diarrhea. 
• Sewage is treated in water treatment plants and the waste is often disposed into the sea. 
• Sewage is mainly biodegradable and most of it is broken down in the environment. 
• In developed countries, sewage often causes problems when people flush chemical and pharmaceutical substances down the toilet. When people are ill, sewage often carries harmful viruses and bacteria into the environment, causing health problems.

How can you help to reduce sewer overflows?

Sewage is a water-carried waste in solution or suspension that is intended to be removed from a community. Domestic households, industrial and agricultural practices produce wastewater, which can cause pollution of many surroundings, lakes and rivers. It is also known as wastewater. It is more than 99% water and is characterized by volume or rate of flow, physical condition, chemical and toxic constituents! It is harmful for human health and is needed to get rid off as soon as possible.

So how can you help to reduce sewer overflow?

• Take care of cracked pipes: Tree roots can invade even the smallest cracks in pipes. As the roots grow, so does the size of the cracks, take care of broken pipes and growing trees. As they say, precaution is better than cure.

• Broken pipes: Broken sewer pipes not only let stormwater in, they can also allow untreated waste to enter the soil and create unhealthy conditions. If you suspect broken pipes, have your system inspected by Bio Cleanse Pty. Ltd.

• Boundary traps: This acts as an inspection point on the sewerage system. It also stops sewer odours from reaching the property. 

• Direct connection: Sometimes direct connection to the sewerage system may seem easier. The effect of doing so is overflow of diluted raw sewage further down the system. This is a major cause of sewer overflow.

• Inspection holes: Poorly fitted, cracked or broken inspection holes on the main sewer system can let water into the sewerage system.

• Low-lying gullies: A gully is an open pipe which is covered with a grill. It is used to release any backflow from blocked sewer pipes and make sure it doesn't overflow inside the house.

Guidelines to prevent Mould damage

Moulds are a large and diverse number of fungal species where the growth of hyphae results in discoloration and a fuzzy appearance, especially on food and wet areas. Moulds cause biodegradation of natural materials, which can be unwanted when it becomes food spoilage or damage to property. 

Here are some guidelines on how to go about preventing mould growth in your house or work place:

1) In some cases, mould growth may not be visible or obvious; it may be possible that mould grows on hidden surfaces such as the rear of a dry wall, the top of ceiling tiles, underside of carpets and pads, etc. There is a need to check for such areas before looking at the more obvious options. 

2) You are required to clean and dry, wet or damp spots within 48 hours.

3) Maintain low indoor humidity; below 60% relative humidity.

4) Perform regular inspections and maintenance and keep it as scheduled.

5) Keep heating, ventilation, and air conditioning drip pans clean, flowing properly, and unobstructed.

6) Building materials and furnishings that are contaminated with mould growth and are not salvageable should be discarded and not kept to be recovered. 

7) And last but not the least, always use gloves and eye protection when cleaning up mould! 

Hope these tips will help you in getting rid of small mould problems. At the same time there is a need for professional help for a bigger and more dangerous situation of mould damage recovery operations.
