Understanding Arc Flash Electrical Hazards
Arc flashes, one of the most disastrous and least understood electrical hazards in the workplace, are usually caused by inadvertent contact between an energized conductor with another energized conductor or a grounded surface. These can cause devastating injuries and equipment damage. JNE can provide complete short circuit, arc flash, and relay coordination studies of your facility to help ensure the latest regulations are maintained and employee safety remains a top priority.

Cutting Costs on Cutting and Drilling Fluids Disposal
Cutting and drilling fluids contain a variety of oils and emulsifiers that make wastewater difficult to treat once the fluid is no longer usable. As a result, fluids are often disposed of as hazardous waste, incurring high operating costs to your company. JNE Environmental has developed a process that allows you to treat this wastewater at your own plant, leading to significant cost savings.
