All about Industrial waste management and industrial solid waste management

Industrial waste management

The management of industrial waste fellow or industrial waste management is a critical process for any industry. Waste management is about the handling and disposal of industrial waste safely and responsibly. It includes everything from the initial waste generated at a facility to the final disposal of waste.

The process

The process is not something that can be done by anyone or at any time. The waste must be generated at the facility. This can be done through manufacturing, packaging, and other processes. Next, the waste must be collected and transported to a disposal facility. Finally, the waste must be disposed of safely and responsibly. The management of waste is a critical process for any industry. It is important to ensure that waste is generated, collected, and disposed of in the right way.

The Necessity

The industrial revolution led to an increase in production and consumption. This, in turn, resulted in a sharp increase in the amount of waste being produced. With the growth of cities and the rise of factories, this waste began to build up and create problems. Management of waste is another thing that has come up with the rise of the development of these industries. It is a crucial part of any industry and is necessary to protect the environment and public health. There are many different methods and the most effective approach depends on the type and quantity of waste being produced. The waste can be recycled, incinerated, or treated with chemicals. Landfills can also be used. Our environment deserves all of our attention and care. It needs to be checked. We all have to check what steps can be taken.

Effective Solid waste management

Industrial Solid waste management is critical to the health and well-being of our communities. It helps to protect the environment and human health, and can even boost the economy. However, managing solid is a complex task, and there is not an easy solution. The best methods for managing solid will vary depending on the type and quantity of waste, the available resources, and the other things that need to be checked and known.

Waste management is not easy

Waste management is not an easy task. It may feel but the reality is very different. It requires careful planning and execution. There are many other types of waste, and each type requires its disposal method. In addition to the different types of waste, there are also different disposal methods. Some methods are more environmentally friendly than others, and some are more expensive. After careful evaluation, we can select the required way. As a result, it is important to carefully consider all options before deciding on a disposal method. With all of these factors to consider, it is no wonder that waste management is not an easy task. However, it is a necessary one, and we all have a responsibility to help manage our waste in the best way possible. Especially with the threat of rising pollution, we must do the required work.

Mycotech: The Indonesian Startup Biofabricating novel materials from mushrooms

Called Mycotech Lab, the company was inspired by tempeh, the traditional Indonesian food made from fermented soybeans, and came up with its own technology to grow its ethical and carbon-friendly mycelium-based materials. 

Mycotech Lab decided to experiment with the fermentation process used to make tempeh to make a new fabric out of the complex root structure of mushrooms, otherwise known as mycelium. It was a lengthy trial-and-error process that kicked off in 2016, but “finally, we found one mushroom with a mycelium that can be made into binding material,” said Erlambang Ajidarma, head of research at the startup, in conversation with Reuters. 

The final product, developed with fungus grown on sawdust that then gets scraped off and dried and cut into different sizes, is Mylea, a fibrous but tough material that acts just like the real thing. It’s waterproof, pliable, durable, and most importantly, is far more sustainable than existing plastic-based synthetic leathers or carbon-intensive real leather made from hide. 

Mycotech also uses natural dye extracted from roots, leaves and food waste in the region to colour their leather alternative, which again is a process that is far less polluting than traditional tanning processes used for real cowhide that leaves behind solid and liquid waste that contains chromium and other hazardous compounds.

Since its inception, Mycotech has managed to grow its client base with no marketing budget because the demand for sustainable alternatives has grown alongside awareness of the damaging effects of animal-based materials in the fashion industry.

MORE SHIPRATS

More specifically about the suits. I'm picturing cyberpunk type stuff but lets be honest, Humans are humans. There's going to be helmets covered in fauxhawks and stickers, someone's going to opt out of everything practical in preference of a prehensile tail, we're going to express ourselves in thousands of ways. But functionality/general aesthetic I'm picturing for Katie, at least, is starting to form in my mind so you're going to get that. I mentioned a back mounted drone thing and I'll be honest, it's pretty inspired by Stray. One shoulder has a little thing like that, but probably in grey or black to blend in with the average guts of a ship. Maybe the drone itself is clear so that it's even harder for the giants to notice. The other shoulder has a speaker that can pop out that amplifies her voice to communicate if need be. I picture the grappling system to launch from the wrist but the line is actually attached to the waist and the suit works and supports like a rock climbing harness. Backpack is full of all sorts of tools, and Human-Grade adhesives and anchors. Cable management is hella important and superglue and duct tape have evolved to have built in pest repellent.

The Helmet itself is pretty cliche cyberpunk, but it's definitely got gills for aqua or other liquid adventures. There's a mic and earpiece in it of course, often synced to the little drone so she can scout rooms without exposing herself. It's got a little projector as well, mostly used to throw schematics up in place while you work on a problem. (think Ironman).

People have mentioned Magnet boots in the tags and replies, and there's definitely something there. I joked about rollerskates because I LOVE the idea of a little human zooming around underfoot across the smooth floors of a ship. Katie probably has some highly grippy-yet-silent shoes that are closer to those a rock climber would wear; form fitting but not restraining, flexible but still supportive. You need to be able to FEEL your foot placement running across wires and climbing up cables. There's also some ship-rats who insist on running around barefoot. there always have been and there always will be.

I like the idea of the suit having instead of typical oxygen tanks, algae tanks of some kind? like the oxygen is coming from plants that are growing symbiotically from the wearer's waste. They would be small. I Don't like putting too much on the back of this kind of thing because humans need to roll to absorb impact, and even with lower gravity there's a lot of fall risk in this industry. That's one of the reasons as much as possible is on the toolbelt and only bulkier tools would be in the back pack. in emergency you can attach it to the drone and have that hover in a safe spot until you call retrieval. So maybe the plants would be in a living space and the air just circulates through the suit, then you hook up to the plant take to refresh overnight? We know that For sure there's lots of plants and algae tanks in the homes of humans living in space, but Brownies like Katie don't exactly settle well. She's got the wanderlust in her that her parents realized they couldn't conquer, so instead they bought the best gear they could.

That is why short of getting crushed she's not going to be very seriously injured; she could survive in the void for a short period of time in that thing, it's puncture and slash proof, basically anything but blunt force trauma is going to bounce right off. The suit is armor, and it's all about safety. grapples and ziplines and tools are all well and good, but they mean nothing if you get cut in half by a cord snapping or a pissed off space-bug.

Obviously phasers and blasters and all sorts of weapons exist. We love making every kind of science into weapons. Katie relies on what the galactic committee classifies as a "Laser cutter and defabricator" and what humans call "Laser Rifles." She's also got a bunch of tools for cutting through metal that would work on pretty much anything if she needed it too. One of the most important tools, though, would be the spray can- (What did you think i was going to say?) A little can nozzle that can be dipped in anything you use to write, and then sprays it on a surface. Humans communicate through ten foot tall letters out of necessity when talking to Giants, and Graffiti artists figured that shit out forever ago. Katie's model is fancy and can dye the ink different colors if needed. Spray color coding wires and parts is always helpful, especially working in unfamiliar systems.

Swedish researchers say they have developed a new method of recycling batteries from electric vehicles that allows recovery of 100 percent of the aluminum and 98 percent of the lithium.

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have presented the efficient way to recycle metals from spent batteries, and at the same time minimize the loss of valuable raw materials such as nickel, cobalt and manganese.

Furthermore, no expensive or harmful chemicals are required in the process because the researchers use oxalic acid—an organic acid that can be found in the plant kingdom.

“So far, no one has managed to find exactly the right conditions for separating this much lithium using oxalic acid, whilst also removing all the aluminum,” said Léa Rouquette, PhD student in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. “Since all batteries contain aluminum, we need to be able to remove it without losing the other metals.”

In the Chalmers battery recycling lab, Rouquette and research leader Martina Petranikova showed how the new method works—taking the pulverized components in the form of a finely ground black powder and dissolving it in a transparent liquid – oxalic acid.

Rouquette produces both the powder and the liquid in something reminiscent of a kitchen mixer. Although it looks as easy as brewing coffee, the exact procedure is a unique scientific breakthrough. By fine-tuning temperature, concentration and time, the researchers came up with a new recipe for using oxalic acid, an environmentally friendly ingredient that can be found in plants such as rhubarb and spinach.

“We need alternatives to inorganic chemicals. One of the biggest bottlenecks in today’s processes is removing residual materials like aluminum,” says Martina Petranikova, Associate Professor at the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Chalmers. “This is an innovative method that can offer the recycling industry new alternatives and help solve problems that hinder development.”

The aqueous-based recycling method is called hydrometallurgy. In traditional hydrometallurgy, all the metals in an EV battery cell are dissolved in an inorganic acid. Then, you remove the “impurities” such as aluminum and copper. Lastly, you can separately recover valuable metals such as cobalt, nickel, manganese and lithium. Even though the amount of residual aluminum and copper is small, it requires several purification steps and each step in this process can cause lithium loss.

With the new method, the researchers reverse the order and recover the lithium and aluminum first. Thus, they can reduce the waste of valuable metals needed to make new batteries.

The latter part of the process, in which the black mixture is filtered, is also reminiscent of brewing coffee. While aluminum and lithium end up in the liquid, the other metals are left in the “solids”. The next step in the process is to separate aluminum and lithium.

“Since the metals have very different properties, we don’t think it’ll be hard to separate them. Our method is a promising new route for battery recycling – a route that definitely warrants further exploration,” says Rouquette, who published her results in the journal Separation and Purification Technology.

COOL IDEA: Scientists Power Tesla on 9,400-mile Journey With Rolled-up Printed Solar Panels

Petranikova’s research group is involved in various collaborations with companies to develop electric car battery recycling and is a partner in major research and development projects, such as Volvo Cars’ and Northvolt’s Nybat project.

The research was funded by the Swedish Energy Agency, BASE Batteries Sweden, Vinnova.

Scientists from The Australian National University (ANU) are drawing inspiration from plants to develop new techniques to separate and extract valuable minerals, metals and nutrients from resource-rich wastewater.

The ANU researchers are adapting plant 'membrane separation mechanisms' so they can be embedded in new wastewater recycling technologies. This approach offers a sustainable solution to help manage the resources required for the world's food, energy and water security by providing a way to harvest, recycle and reuse valuable metal, mineral and nutrient resources from liquid wastes.

The technology could benefit a range of industries such as agriculture, aquaculture, desalination, battery recycling and mining. It could also help companies rethink their approach to how they deal with waste by creating a way to extract value from wastewater. The research also has implications for flood- and drought-prone areas across Australia.

It's estimated global wastewater contains three million metric tonnes of phosphorus, 16.6 million metric tonnes of nitrogen and 6.3 million metric tonnes of potassium. The recovery of these nutrients from wastewater could offset 13.4 per cent of global agricultural demand for these resources.

two separate things i've started but i don't know if i should finish fsdfjlks

one:

'don't be afraid to show your teeth,' your father had said, his hand caressing your face before the departure back to your homeworld, 'don't be afraid to use them.'

so you weren't. no matter the rage that brought you here, no matter the way you wanted to tear and rip and eat everything that hurt you -- your family included, you swallowed it down. let it burn in the pit of your belly like wildfire.

you had all the poise and proper of your house, how you were raised to be. a weapon instead of a woman. strategic mind, knowing the ins and outs of a blade. you could handle yourself, you've faced death and came back screaming and smiling.

but you didn't know if you could survive feyd-rautha harkonnen.

he'd been told to keep you alive, your houses' deal on the line. that didn't meant he had to keep you pristine. or keep you at all, you found.

so busy with his pets, his training, his na-baron duties, he sparsely spares you a glance.

...

two:

all glitter and gold, silver in the moonlight. cutting like a blade into the room where your deft fingers roam, across the bedsheets, over your stomach. shadows are sharper though, they always are, how they mold your bedchambers into a dungeon of your own making every single night.

breathe in, bleed out.

that's the motto you've been taught and that's the one you're sticking with, probably until the day you die. that might not be far off, you think, closing the corner faster than you can think to fear it. but harkonnens do not fear. and so, you don't think you can. you don't think you will.

on your nightstand, your knife glitters in the twilight, whispering that it knows all of your secrets. all of the pretty things you trace over your skin, all of the disgusting thoughts that cling to your skull in the wake of it. the liquid heat that cascades over you, a molten cage that cools and hurts.

today, you'd had another suitor. from a noble family that you were well aware of, from watching in the shadows and watching in the court. you'd seen his intentions long before they'd the chance to glint in his dark eyes. but you hadn't been the only one. you scarcely remember the words he'd managed before dark blood spilt from him like wine, like ink.

your father, standing over him, not bothering to wipe the blade clean with his own tunic.

harknonnens did not fear. they do not abide weakness. and that young noble was weak, he'd told you, he was unworthy. maybe that was true. you hadn't really cared to find out one way or another, not-so-secretly grateful that you'd yet to be married off like a broodmare.

the daughter of feyd-rautha harkonnen is highly sought after, of course.

far be it for you to know your father's will, but you know yours. it lies quietly, heavily, behind pretty dresses, sharp blades, and a mouth that can hurt and hurt and hurt. that's how you've been raised, to be an animal. to be a goddess.

trapped here, in your pantheon of industrial waste.

but being caged isn't so bad. it keeps you near the parts of the fortress that warm you, though they are always fleeting. at the foot of a throne or with arena sand in your teeth, you catch it whenever you can manage. easy enough to do when you've always been a shadow, always at its side.

and he's always let you.

his perfect creature, his masterpiece that he showcases more often than your brothers. his only daughter, his pretty little bird with clipped wings.

...

✦ Yin-Yang 陰陽 ✧

—Sypnosis; In which two ex-actors now models, Yin Mei and Yang Jungwon, who usually take single shoots offers, meet as opposites.

—Pairing; Korean Model Yjw x Chinese Model Fem!Reader (under the name of Yin Mei)

—Genre; Fluff, au, strangers to lovers, soulmates-ish, opposites attract, Chinese history related/mentions (personality, physic touch-ish.

—W.C.; 2,803 (I really think I should do longer stories TT)

—A/N; I am Chinese myself so I sort of got inspired by that and built up a story plot from it ^^ Hope you all enjoy!! Do leave a review of what you think of it, it’d be greatly appreciated! THIS IS NOT PROOFREAD!! I apologize if there's any mistakes!

Sitting down and sipping on your cup of coffee at the local cafe near your place, you read the online articles to, for the third time today, see those usual posts about yourself quitting the acting industry. Of course it wasn’t easy to leave it after having quite the successful career due to your famous company, but the mistreatment was getting too much and the diets that were imposed are getting out of hands. Noticing how even your fellow friends had to go through a lot, you all decided to drop out of the well known corporation.

‘Yin Mei, the Chinese acting prodigy, quitting so suddenly?!’ ‘Why did Mei drop out of the industry? She was one of my favourite actress!!’ ‘Yin Mei leaving acting already?’

All of the above are only some of the examples of what you’ve been seeing ever since you departed from GY entertainment. Distracted by the online texts infront of you, you felt a hot liquid dripping onto your lap which made you realize that your coffee was now on the table sideways with all its content emptied and now on you. Looking around, you noticed someone’s eyes on you from outside the glass windows and you managed to notice some of their features before they quickly ran away not wanting to attract trouble since they probably were the person who accidentally spilled your drink while you zoned out.

The person heavily reminded you of a cat because of their sharp eyes. They also had dark brown hair and wore a black mask, probably to hide their identity. You usually did the same so you wouldn’t get attention from all the paparazzis and the recent news.

Checking your phone, along with the time, you mentally told yourself that it was time to go to work.

Honestly, you could’ve taken a pause from the public’s eyes to avoid getting questions on your past occupation, but you wanted to do something and not just stay home all day even though that’s probably what most people in your situation would do. You love being in the entertainment industry and acting wasn’t the only option for you since you’re a natural. Modeling, singing, dancing were all skills you accomplished and mastered early on in only a few months by attending classes for each ones of them. However, the only one you were acknowledged for was acting which, according to your close friends who do know about everything you can do, is a waste, since if the public would know about all your talents, you’d probably gain even more fame. As mentioned, your passion for entertainment brought you to the decision of doing modeling under a different company hoping to not get mistreated but still be able to follow your dreams. A friend of yours, that is already signed up under that same agency, recommended going to Ebyh corporation. After thinking about it for a few days and enumerating the pros and cons, you decided to audition there as a model this time. Showing up there a few hours later had all of the staff member’s eyes wide open and mouths on the floor. You walked throughout the hallways and made your way to the office of the founder of Ebyh who already knew about the visit due to your friend that mentioned it to him. As you knocked on the door, you heard a “come in” from the inside of the room and opened the door to find a man that looked in his 50s sitting down along with another person that looked about your age.

Walking towards the middle aged man, you could feel the stare from the presence on your right. Right before being able to take a glance at them, the founder coughed signalling something to the other guy which made him leave instantly.

“Welcome to Ebyh corporation, my name is Bang Si Hyuk. We’re glad to have a talent like yours join our company.” He started, smiling at you kindly.

“Thank you for having me.” You replied at his compliment.

“So, I suppose you’d like to become an actress-”

“Actually, I’m auditioning to become a model instead. I’m afraid that I will not take any acting offers if that’s what made you instantly call me here.” You cut what he was about to say with a stern voice.

Still under slight shock, he thought for a moment about having you partake a different route than what he thought and if you were really skilled enough to be a model. He wouldn’t want to invest in someone for no reasons. Of course he believes in your overall skills and appreciates everything you’ve shown to the audience so far, but he won’t just let you become a model like that without knowing if your success is close to guaranteed. Which is why he thought of an idea.

“To make sure that you truly are skilled in modelling aswell, I’ll train you by giving you a few offers to start off and depending on where it’ll lead you to, we’ll make you sign an official contract with us so you can officially be apart of Ebyh corp.” He proposed and without hesitation, you gratefully accepted.

“Here’s the first shoot you’ll have to attend. Since you’re already quite famous, I’ve gotten a few requests from well known brands.” Mr. Bang said as he gave you the detailed informations and where the photoshoot will be taken.

A few days later

As you came out of the building where was located your 5th photo session, you immediately went back to your company and headed to Si Hyuk’s office. Opening the door, after knocking a few times and hearing the usual ‘come in!’ from inside, you saw the familiar man that you had seen previously along with the owner of the office chatting together. You stood there until the older man spoke.

“Mei, I’d like to introduce you to a partner that you’ll be matched up with for your next task.” He said directing my sight to the guy next to him. “Here’s one of our best male models, Yang Jungwon.”

Taking a good look at the fellow model, you could definitely understand why he was working under this industry. He had somewhat familiar cat eyes and brown hair. You couldn’t really remember who or where, but you knew that you’ve already seen him before.

“Hey um… do I know you by any chance?” You asked confused.

He looked at you then had the same confused expression as yours till realization hit him.

He small gasped and put one of his hand over his mouth. Then he nervously spoke. “Ah… well I think, correct me if I’m wrong, that I’m the person who may have ACCIDENTALLY hit your drink at the cafe…?”

You tapped your chin looking up a few times before remembering the scene.

“Oooooh you were that guyyy…” you said with your mouth forming an ‘o’ shape.

“Well looks like you two have already met…” Bang Si Hyuk said as he looked at the both of you. “That’ll make it easier then because you both will have to do a duo shoot together. I already talked about it with Jungwon and he agreed so if you don’t mind.”

You looked uncertain since the person before you was still a stranger and you both barely talked before. As you thought of the situation, Si Hyuk broke the silence and added. “If you do that offer, I’ll allow you to sign a contract with Ebyh corporation.”

You smiled cheekily. “Well then, you got your deal old man!”

Jungwon looked at you and Mr bang’s interactions. To then smile and chuckle lightly making his dimples visible.

When you spun your head around as you heard the faint laugh, you could feel heat rising up to your face. Looking away in embarrassment, not wanting to show it to the two men, they looked at you confusingly and just shrugged it off to talk about the upcoming duo project between you and the new acquaintance you just made.

Later when you all finished talking, well mostly them and not you since you're quite introverted unlike that other guy Jungwon, you went back to your place to eat diner. When you were done eating, you laid down on your bed and looked up your coworker for your next shoot which is tomorrow.

'Yang Jungwon' you typed on the search bar to find a lot of articles and profiles about him. You found out a few things about him. For example, he has a very outgoing personality, he's extroverted, sociable and carefree. Of course there were other information like his physical appearance and things such as his favorite color, etc. Reading a few things and watching a few interviews about him made you think that you both were polar opposites. You also wondered what theme you'd have to demonstrate with Jungwon as you drifted to sleep.

+++

This morning went by like usual. Waking up, eating breakfast, the usual routine. Now, you were standing infront of the two men, yet again, to attend your photoshoot.

As you sat down in the car with Jungwon facing you and Bang Si Hyuk in the front seats with your manager, your coworker decided to initiate a conversation. Otherwise, from Jungwon's perspective, the way to go would feel long and boring. The awkward tension made him want to say something which he did.

"Are you excited for the shoot?" he asked leaning forwards as he looked at you.

You paused, looking back at him calmly, contrary to him, you were leaning backwards with your arms and legs crossed.

"Yeah, I mean after this I'll finally be able to become a model under Ebyh corporation." you replied unwantingly being dry.

He nods awkwardly. "That's great..."

You reply a quick 'yeah' and instead of continuing the conversation, you just look out the window. Your introverted side showing itself while Jungwon sat there wanting to say something.

'Well that didn't go as planned..' thought Jungwon as he sighed.

The both of you barely exchanged any words for the rest of the way there. Though you did feel his stare on you from times to times.

+++

When you arrived and got out of the vehicule, the personnel and your work partner entered the building. You all followed the guide to the destined set. Once you entered the room, you saw a few props along with the cameras and the necessary materials. A man with jet black glasses and hair stood there. He smiled as he looked at us to then talk to Ebyh's chairman. While they talked, a woman came up to you and told you to go change which was also requested to Jungwon.

As you came out of the changing room, all eyes were on the both of you. Some of the females exchanged glances as they whispered looking at the man you were going to work with while some guys had their jaws dropped on the floor.

You even heard some comments, of course, some about your previous career, but also some about you and Jungwon's relationship. Some of the girls shot daggers at you with their glares when your back was facing them which your coworker noticed and just chuckled off. The cameraman that was talking to Si Hyuk came up to you both and asked you to go sit on the decorative couch. You had to strike a few poses solo and so did Jungwon until it was time for the duo poses at the end. You personally thought that it'd be some normal postures and so did the he but when you saw the reference picture from the camera guy, your eyes and mouth went agape, and so did his. To describe it, it's something like Jungwon laying down horizontally on the sofa with his head on the arm-rester, while you had to sit down on the lower elevation, somewhat diagonally, with your head lying on his chest.

"Um- I'm sorry but isn't that too much? " you said after a few seconds of looking at the picture. Truth is, you actually didn't mind, but you didn't want to make our partner uncomfortable.

"Y-yeah she's right..." said Jungwon embarassed.

The photoshoot leader then replied with a confirmation of whether yes or no we wanted to do the shoot. Since you couldn't refuse due to the offer from the chairman, you had to accept.

"fine, I'll do it." you replied looking away thinking that either way was okay with you.

You could feel Jungwon's eyes on you, however you couldn't tell what his expression meant. Well he doesn't have a choice, no way you’re declining the offer. You have to get in the industry.

You both went towards the canape. Jungwon was looking down while you walked forward.

"You can lay down and we can get this over with." you said wanting to make this quick.

He raised his head and he looked at you. He nodded shyly and laid down on the couch. You sat on the slightly elevated floor, and gently put your head on his chest just like the reference.

You both looked at the camera and acted as natural as possible.

Though the both of our hearts were beating like crazy.

As you got up to look at your shoot partner, you could see the slight tint of pink under his makeup. You smiled which he returned sheepishly.

"Good!" Said the camera person. "nice work you two."

"thank you" you both said in unison.

Then a girl that looked a bit younger came up to you with a serious look on her face.

"Are you guys dating?" she asked pouting.

You shook your head no as you felt your blood rise up to your cheeks.

"of course not, why would you think that?" you ask trying to keep composure. Blushing was never your thing because of your rather calm and composed personality, and even your few close friends thought that it was unusual, considering the fact that you've never had a boyfriend ever since high school. You were beautiful. Of course you are, but the fact that you didn't really talk to anyone or made any effort to socialize made it hard for any guys to approach you since they didn't think that even if they did ask you out, you'd reply positively. You were also quite naive when it came to that so when they were very transparent with their feelings, you could barely notice the signs they gave you.

Again, you found yourself thinking about how, unlike you, Jungwon is more of the popular type and probably played the role of the school president or something when he was in high school. And as you predicted, it was infact true.

"I mean you both seemed quite close, but I'm glad honestly!" the girl replied grinning. "that means I still have a chance with him!"

"yeah right..." you thought out loud scoffing.

She looked at you confusingly. "What was that?"

'oh shit'

"Nothing, don't worry about it." you said not wanting any unwanted attention on you both.

"I'm still here by the way?" the man next to you said.

The girl before you smiled widely once she looked at him.

"Ah, yes Jungwon! Sorry about that" she giggled and walked away.

"tsk who does she think she is..." you muttered under your breath.

Jungwon looked at you and chuckled warmly. "I'm glad that we did this shoot together Mei." he said.

"Likewise, it was a pleasure." you bowed.

Still looking down, you saw a phone appearing under your face.

"Hm?"

"Do you mind giving me your number?" he asked smiling with his dimples showing which made your heart melt.

"O-oh... yeah sure!" you took his phone and inserted your contact infos under the name 'Yin Mei'.

As he took it back, he walked away heading towards the door. He flashed you a smile again and mouthed a 'thank you'.

+++

When you were back home, you received a text from unknown.

It was Jungwon.

You obviously replied back a 'hey' and then changed his name to 'Yang :)'.

At the other side of the phone, he did the same and changed it to 'Yin :)'.

Coincidences huh? Opposites yet so similar...

THE END!!

Hydrovac Excavation: A Sustainable Approach to Subsurface Utility Projects

In the realm of construction, the impact on the environment is a significant concern. The integration of environmental sustainability technology is pivotal in mitigating this impact while maintaining cost-effectiveness in debris removal. Project Sustainability Management (PSM) is becoming increasingly relevant in this context. PSM encompasses the planning, monitoring, and control of project delivery and support processes, taking into account environmental, economic, and social factors throughout the project's lifecycle. One key aspect of this is the sustainable management of excavated materials, which can be repurposed, thereby reducing waste.

Aussie Hydro-Vac Services stands at the forefront of environmental sustainability. The company is renowned in the vacuum excavation, drain cleaning, and cable location sectors, adhering to ethical operating and contractual practices. By incorporating environmental sustainability technology, Aussie Hydro-Vac Services effectively addresses complex project issues and crisis situations.

Enhancing Safety in Exposing Subsurface Infrastructure

The construction industry is increasingly adopting environmentally sustainable practices, particularly in projects involving sensitive subsurface utilities. Hydrovac excavation plays a crucial role in this shift. This technique transforms soil into a slurry, which is then easily suctioned and vacuumed into a tank. Compared to traditional mechanical digging methods, hydrovac excavation is safer, reducing the risk of cave-ins and other hazards associated with conventional excavation.

Hydrovac excavation employs a specialised vehicle equipped with a hose or wand. This wand injects water under pressure into the soil, breaking it up and transforming it into a slurry. The slurry is then vacuumed into a tank attached to the vehicle, keeping the worksite clean and orderly.

Precision and Control in Urban Environments

Hydrovac excavation is particularly useful in urban settings where precision and minimal impact are essential. It offers greater directional control, allowing technicians to work more accurately, especially near underground utilities. The technique is faster than traditional digging, minimising disruption in densely populated areas. Hydrovac excavation is ideal for city installations, sewer repairs, and plumbing, among other applications.

Environmental Sustainability in Project Management

Aussie Hydro-Vac Services leverages environmental sustainability best practices in project management, offering competitive advantages and economic benefits. The company utilises hydrovac excavation techniques with vehicles designed for non-destructive methods. This approach is particularly effective around sensitive infrastructure, offering a safe and efficient process.
