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 [...]
Carbon Dioxide pH Correction System is an Eco-Friendly Treatment Solution
JNE Environmental has developed a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly pH correction solution — using the same principles as carbonated soda. This process can achieve the desired pH correction without the use of expensive plastics, dangerous industrial acids, or specialized protective equipment, and does not result in the addition of Chlorides or Sulfates.

JNE to present at AU Las Vegas 2019
In November 2019, JNE will be presenting at AU Las Vegas — Autodesk’s premiere North American conference. JNE’s presentation, an instructional demo on 3D multi-disciplinary plant engineering, was selected from over 2,400 applications. This is a tremendous opportunity for JNE to share our knowledge of 3D software and applications on a world-class stage.
Overcoming Obstacles to Treat Ultrapure Water in Automotive Manufacturing
JNE Environmental has a lot of history and experience with fluoride removal techniques from wastewater in the automotive sector; however, the wastewater from this particular client is unique in that their wastewater stream is actually ultrapure water. Ultrapure water poses a challenge because, at this purity, the water behaves like a solvent making it difficult to remove targeted impurities, such as fluoride.

Life Membership with the Association for Iron & Steel Technology is awarded after 35 consecutive years of membership. Please join us in congratulating Joe for this recognition!
Pilot Plant Automation and Upgrades
Continuously looking to improve our products, we identified an opportunity to automate our wastewater treatment pilot plant, reducing the required labour to maintain efficient operation. We also installed mixed reaction tanks below the existing plug flow reactor and made the various chemical reaction systems selectable via a tee branch system.
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.
