The Highlights of the Mold Removal Process


Mold is a usual element of our natural environment. It reproduces with spores that usually fly in the air attached to dust particles. It is present in every home or commercial building, but it's not considered dangerous until a certain point.

Mold can become a problem when it starts growing on a surface. This might happen under certain conditions, when four main factors for mold growth come together - moisture, lack of ventilation, temperature over 3A°C and organic surface. Organic building materials, like wood, bricks, drywall or concrete, are a perfect feeding source for mold. When mold spores attach to an organic surface that is moist and improperly ventilated, they form a colony and start growing. The way most of the buildings are constructed and maintained nowadays provides multiple choices of places for mold growth. Usually they are basements, attics, cold rooms, showers and bathrooms, sometimes mold grows under the carpet or even inside the walls! But no matter where it is, mold needs to be removed, and the affected surface needs to be replaced.

Mold removal process, as any other reconstruction or restoration process, has some peculiarities:

Any mold removal job should be preceded by a proper mold inspection. Mold inspection should be done by a certified inspector, who will examine the mold affected site visually or using special equipment (moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, relative humidity meters, etc.) if necessary. Special equipment might be needed to detect a leak or other possible source of moisture, if it's not obvious. Mold inspection should result in expert conclusions and an estimate with a thorough scope of work.

Some cases of mold detection and inspection can be complicated by the absence of any visible signs of mold. When mold is growing inside the walls, in insulation or drywall, and hasn't grown out to the surface, it's challenging - you can only assume it's there by detecting moisture with the equipment mentioned above. But if the source of moisture has already been eliminated - then even the equipment is helpless. In such cases air quality testing comes to help. This procedure involves taking air samples from outside and inside of the affected building and analyzing them in a laboratory. As a result - you will receive a lab report outlining the details of air components in your house. The report will state if the level of mold spores in your house is elevated (more than normal) or not. This will let mold specialists decide on the further remediation steps.

One of the most important things in mold removal process is preventing cross-contamination. Nobody wants mold spores to travel from the affected area to other places of your house. Especially, because some types of mold can release hazardous toxins that can cause various health problems - from headaches to allergies and asthma! That's why proper containment is the first crucial step of mold remediation process. Plastic barricades will provide substantial isolation of the area, and negative air machines will efficiently filtrate the airflow. Mold remediation company has to follow all safety instructions provided by the regulatory bodies, like IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration).

These basic facts about mold removal process should help you understand that mold remediation is not a do-it-yourself project! It involves a lot of professional knowledge and technical skills, and should only be done by a specialized company.

Process Sensors And Their Role In Industrial Environments


Just as technical advancements have made our life easier and more comfortable, they have also had a positive and impressive impact in our working environment. Business organizations rely on computers and machines to satisfy their customers' expectations all year round and all day round and in almost every case to ensure high levels of productivity.

Industries and factories also require technical devices to help them perform at their best level, keep up with their clients' expectations and comply with the industry standards. Thus, industries and factories many a time rely on process sensors to make sure that the products being manufactured are being produced within the acceptable standards.

There are different process sensors available in the market. Some of them are specific to some industries while others can be shared by many. Two of the most popular ones are humidity sensors and temperature analyzers. We are going to deal with both of them in this article as they are quite generic and they are widely used in several industries.

HUMIDITY SENSORS

Humidity sensors are also popularly referred to as moisture analyzers or hygrometers. They are highly sophisticated instruments that allow factory owners and operators make sure that the product being manufactured is not exposed to the wrong levels of humidity and that it is being produced in an environment that has the right content of moisture. Believe it or not, this is quite a serious issue that has to be handled with accuracy and care. There are many products that can be ruined if they are exposed to more wetness than what they really need. For instance, if potato chips are packed wet they will taste sour when we eat them and coffee beans may smell sour and rotten if they are packed when they are not well dried enough. The wood industry also needs moisture analyzers: wood has to be dry enough to be able to cut it into pieces but wet enough to remain flexible. Industries use different hygrometers along the manufacturing process to keep close track of the humidity conditions in the environment.

TEMPERATURE METERS

Temperature meters are usually called thermometers and, as their name suggests, they are used to measure the temperature present in the manufacturing environment. They play an essential role in the chemical industry as chemical compounds cannot be exposed to dramatic changes in temperature or to very high or low temperatures under the risk of losing their properties.

The Process and Future of Solar Energy


Our planet receives enough raw energy in the form of sunlight in sixty minutes to illuminate all of the worlds lights for a full year. Unfortunately, a very small part of it can be harnessed so most of the population still gets most of its energy from power plants that burn fossil fuels. Fortunately for our environment, we have recently seen an increasing trend in the demand for solar energy. This is partly due to the fact that solar panels are becoming cheaper as technology advances.

At the equator, the Sun provides approximately 1000 watts of energy per square meter on the earths surface. That means that 1 square meter of each panel can generate approximately 100 GW of raw power per year. That amount of power is enough to illuminate more than 50,000 houses. The entire area that would need to be covered by solar panels to power the entire world for a year would be the equivalent to one percent of the entire space of the Sahara Desert. The amount of power solar panels can generate on a given day depends on a few variables like smog, cloudy days, low temperatures and humidity.

Solar panel farms are a lot like other normal power plants with the only big difference being that most power plants get their energy from fossil fuels. And when conventional plants burn fossil fuels, they generate the by products which are contributing to global warming. Solar panel farms or solar heat plants (or CSP plants) absorb the rays of the sun to generate electrical energy.

This process of energy conversion in solar heat plants rather simple. The panels absorb the rays of the sun, which then shines on the power receiver. In this receiver, the energy is converted into steam from the suns rays. The steam is taken to tanks where it will be used to spin turbines and generate electricity. The process is clean because it requires no fossil fuels to be burned. It is safe for the environment and doesn't contribute to global warming like conventional power plants.

If more solar panel farms are implemented, the demand for oil will be reduced sharply. Today, there are many households that use solar panels for energy and more people are adding panels every day. When this demand for solar energy and other alternatives goes up, fewer people will use gas and fossil fuels, and the prices for these will surely drop as well.

If you use solar energy, you may actually be able to use "negative energy". Because every house is connected to the city's power system, the extra energy that your panels produce will go back into the grid and can be consumed by other households. This will result in you being sent a check by the electric company for the energy you put back in. Even if you panels are small, you will see a huge reduction in your bill. These solar panels, aside from being good for the environment, are good for your pocket!

Even though the initial investment into your solar panel system is a bit expensive, the panels will undoubtedly pay for themselves in the long run. Not only do you save money and perhaps even make some with your panels, you help the environment by reducing greenhouse gases and emissions. These systems are so durable they have been known to last years. PV cells are supposed to stay good anywhere from twenty-five to forty years. Most suppliers of solar panels have a standard twenty-five year warranty.

Finally, solar panels take minimal maintenance and they can be placed basically anywhere that gets a good amount of sunlight all year.




There is no question that alternative energy IS the future and the future is right now.
