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.
Incoming plant power distribution design and upgrades
Looking to expand your plant or replace aging infrastructure? We work with you to ensure your power system is robust, safe, and reliable to help bring your process goals to reality. Through collaboration with process owners, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), local utility companies (LDCs), and other key stakeholders, our team can gather the appropriate data to model and simulate the behaviour of plant power systems to develop applicable equipment specifications to meet your process needs.
Coming clean about soapy wastewater treatment
What happens to soapy water after it goes down the drain? The events of the past two years have seen everyone keeping clean by thoroughly washing their hands and constantly rinsing with soapy water. But how do you clean the water that is used for cleaning? JNE Environmental was approached to solve this exact problem.
Automatic Foam Detection and Suppression in Wastewater Systems
JNE Environmental was contracted by a soap manufacturer in the Toronto area to design and build a foam detection sensor package to enhance foam suppression measures within their plant. This new sensor package, capable of measuring foam height, automatically deploys water spray and anti-foam suppression measures when a specific height of foam accumulation is detected.

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.
Typical Utility Station Details and Design
Utilities in a process plant are services which are not integral to the process, however, are still essential to plant operation.
Hydraulic Modeling of Complex Fluids
Modeling of complex fluids like non-Newtonian fluids or settling slurries should not be intimidating. The basic steps are very similar to that of conventional hydraulic models for single-phase, Newtonian fluids like water.
