Safety Considerations for Pneumatic Pressure Testing
Message Message Safety Considerations for Pneumatic Pressure Testing Safety Considerations for Pneumatic Pressure Testing Published October 2023 Download (coming soon) Keywords Pneumatic Pressure Test Stored Energy Minimum Safe Distance Scaled Consequence Factor ASME PCC-2 Repair of Pressure Equipment and Piping Share Summary Pneumatic pressure testing poses a significant health and safety risk due to the stored energy of the test gas, especially on larger volume piping. This can affect the operations of clients or construction activities and should be considered when specifying pneumatic pressure tests. Safe distances for personnel are proscribed in ASME PCC-2 Repair of Pressure Equipment and Piping. Minimum safe distance is 30m (100ft) and increases with stored energy and risk of fragments being thrown. The safe distance can be reduced utilizing mitigation techniques included in ASME PCC-2. When specifying a pneumatic pressure test always consider stored energy and look to eliminate the need for the testing or substitute hydrostatic. Reducing the safe distance below 30m (100ft) should [...]
Dual DAF Wastewater Treatment System for a European Plastic Recycling Company’s New Facility
JNE Environmental has designed and is currently manufacturing a 40 m3/hr dual Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) wastewater treatment system for a European plastic recycling company that is building a new facility in Canada. This plastic recycling process represents a unique and significant impact to the environment and JNE is proud to play a role in the process. This project is the largest project in JNE Environmental’s history and is commissioning in late 2019.
JNE at Connect to Careers 2019
The JNE Group participated in the annual Connect to Careers job fair at the FirstOntario Centre in Hamilton, Ontario. From new grads to seasoned professionals, the event is a great opportunity to connect and network with local talent. Representatives from JNE and TCE groups and engineering disciplines were on-hand to educate thousands of attendees about The JNE Group's services, culture, and potential career opportunities.
JNE’s Inaugural Movember Challenge
Our team at JNE set out to raise awareness about some of the biggest health issues faced by men, including prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health and suicide prevention by growing our moustaches throughout the month of November. Through this initiative we have learned more about each other, sharing stories and experiences, and we are stronger for it.
JNE Consulting Provides Mentorship and Sponsorship to MEC 2018
The McMaster Engineering Competition (MEC) is a two day competition that gives undergraduate students from McMaster University a chance to demonstrate engineering skills in a competitive environment, as well as receive the professional counsel of mentors from a variety of companies. In addition to sponsoring the event, two JNE team members participated on the judging panels of the Consulting and Re-Engineering categories.
Solving Excess Wastewater Problem for Greenhouses
Greenhouse growers may run out of holding capacity for rainwater during the Spring and Fall rainy seasons. Because this rainwater and plant run-off contacts rooftops, floors, plants, etc., it often has pollutant levels surpassing provincial limits for discharge to the natural environment. By reversing a standard wastewater treatment process, JNE’s pilot plant can safely discharge excess water run-off while recycling and storing nutrient-rich water for production use.
Wastewater Treatment: Drilling, Tunneling, and Mud Separation Polymers
Modern day mining, tunneling, jet and pressure grouting, drilling, and similar activities require a lot of water for operation. These industries use water to remove ground material, cool and lubricate machinery, and control dust. This contaminated water cannot go back into the ground as it may bring these pollutants directly into other important underground water sources such as aquifers and water tables. Luckily, JNE Environmental has the solution.
Wastewater success for skin care and beauty products manufacturer
Wastewater from skin care and beauty products manufacturing can be very difficult to treat due to the complex ingredients used. When JNE Environmental was approached to perform testing on wastewater from a cosmetics manufacturer, we were excited to see how we could treat all levels to within sewer by-law compliance limits.
