Gravity Flow Piping Design
Whenever liquid flows by gravity out of a vessel or down a pipe there is a potential problem of entrainment of gas by the liquid. Entrained gas not only raises the pressure drop but also reduces the static head available to drive the flow and overcome the created pressure drop. These effects can reduce the flowrate drastically below the design value.
Emulsified Oils vs. Grease Traps: What You Need to Know
Are you considering installing a grease trap or oil interceptor at your facility to fix high FOG in your wastewater? There is more to this process than meets the eye. We often have new customers come to us after installing large, underground grease traps and interceptors with little to no reduction in FOG. Before taking action, we encourage you to learn from our experience with emulsified oils in grease traps, which can help you make a more informed decision with your wastewater treatment and save money for your business.
Ontario Premier Ford meets with JNE Consulting team at Algoma EAF milestone event
The Algoma Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) project reached a major milestone in late February with the erection of the first sections of structural columns for the new melt shop building. JNE Consulting was invited to a photo commemoration ofthe event that included Ontario Premier Ford, Minister Pirie, Mayor Shoemaker, and Mr. Ross Romano, MPP for Sault Ste Marie.
JNE reaches annual Movember fundraising target
With this year’s fundraising total, JNE has raised over $25,000 towards men's health awareness since the team’s formation in 2018. We are extremely grateful to everyone who supported our efforts this year and helped us contribute towards a global mission of reducing men's mortality rate by 25 per cent by 2030. We are proud to support the Movember Foundation and look forward to future fundraising efforts.
JNE at the OSPE Engineering Conference 2022
Representatives of the JNE Group of Companies attended the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE) Engineering Conference in Ottawa, Ontario on November 3, 2022. The event, Canada's largest forum for engineering, diversity, and recruitment, was a fantastic opportunity to connect with young professionals, students, and subject matter experts in the engineering industry.
Electrical Clearances: Best Practices
When sizing a room, or an area that will house electrical equipment, there are many variables to consider. It is clearly stated in the Ontario Electrical Code book that “electrical equipment shall be installed and guarded so that adequate provision is made for the safety of persons and property and for the protection of the electrical equipment from mechanical or other damage to which it is likely to be exposed” (OESC 2-200). This can be done with a dedicated electrical room/space, signage, physical barriers, and training. When working with other disciplines, the electrical team must communicate the physical size, and space needed to follow all of the rules stated in the OESC, of the chosen electrical equipment.
Pre-Start Health and Safety Reviews (PSR): An Overview
The purpose of this knowledge file is to provide a basic overview of what a pre-start health and safety review (PSR or PSHSR) is in order to facilitate the planning and coordination of PSR projects.
Trunnion Strength Evaluation
The purpose of this file is to share information on trunnion supports. Sometimes in piping design, a trunnion is needed. When designing a trunnion, there are many factors to consider and best practices to follow.
