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.
Made in Canada: New Coagulants for Improved Wastewater Treatment Chemistry
JNE Environmental is excited to announce the development of our very own line of engineered wastewater treatment coagulants manufactured in-house with both Canadian and internationally sourced raw feedstocks.
Cheesy Wastewater Treatment
JNE Environmental was recently approached to investigate performance issues with a Southern Ontario cheese manufacturer’s wastewater pH correction system. Their existing system was not adequately meeting sewer discharge limits and thus a more capable system was required to achieve compliance.
Control System Testing and Quality Assurance
Are you facing pressure to get a process back up and running within a strict shutdown window? Our specialists have developed standard testing, simulation, and onsite practices that can reduce the risk of delayed start-up and minimize effects on your production schedule.
Deep-Fried Wastewater Treatment
A potato chip manufacturer in the Toronto area approached JNE Environmental to tackle a problem with their oily wastewater. The wastewater from their production lines was packed with starches, fats, oil, and grease; all emulsified with cleaners. This creates a particularly difficult concoction for treatment systems to treat the wastewater to sewer compliance.
JNE at Specialty & Agro Chemicals America 2025
Representatives of the JNE Group of Companies attended the Specialty & Agro Chemicals America event — a forum that promotes chemical manufacturing, chemical technologies, and related chemical industry services that have specific applications for the agrochemical and specialty chemical markets — in Savannah, Georgia in July 2025.
Oxygen System Velocity and Material Requirements
The intent of this knowledge file is to study the velocity limitation and material selection considerations in an oxygen system as per CGA G-4.4 code for oxygen piping systems to mitigate the risk of oxygen fires/explosions.
AIST Women In Steel Conference
Representatives of the JNE Group of Companies are attending the AIST Women In Steel Conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania from September 16–18, 2024. The second annual conference is a two-and-a-half day event supporting recruitment, engagement, and professional development of women in the global steel industry.
