7 Tank Phosphating Demystified: A Journey into Metal Transformation

The 7 Tank Phosphating technique is a respected and transforming approach in the field of metal finishing, allowing a journey into the realm of metal metamorphosis. This sophisticated procedure, which is generally regarded as both an art and a science, is critical in improving the quality, longevity, and look of metal surfaces. Let's go on a voyage to uncover the secrets of 7 Tank Phosphating and see how it revolutionizes metal transformation.

The Fundamentals of 7 Tank Phosphating Process

The 7 tank phosphating method is essentially a succession of precisely controlled chemical baths that a metal substrate goes through. Each of the seven tanks represents a different stage of the transition. Cleaning, rinsing, surface conditioning, phosphating, post-rinsing, passivation, and drying are common steps in the process. The magic happens when these stages work together to create a surface that is not only corrosion-resistant but also favorable to subsequent coatings.

Visit Website: https://officefurnitureindia.in/7-tank-phosphating-process/

The Combination of Art and Science

Knowledge 7 Tank Phosphating necessitates an understanding of the complex balance between art and science. The science is in the chemical processes that are precisely planned to change the metal surface at a tiny level. This modification, known as phosphating, produces a phosphate coating that improves the adherence of future coatings such as paints or lubricants.

The artistry, on the other hand, derives from mastery of the method. Professionals versed in the subtleties of 7 Tank Phosphating may adjust the treatment to particular metals, applications, and desired outputs. The art is in the finesse with which each tank is treated, ensuring that the metal substrate emerges not just altered but also optimized for its intended use.

Decoding the Transformation

Cleaning

The trip starts with a thorough washing of the metal surface. This process eliminates pollutants, oils, and other impurities that may interfere with the future stages.

Rinsing

Following cleaning, the metal is meticulously rinsed to remove any leftover residues from the cleaning stage.

Surface Preparation

The metal surface is prepared for phosphating at this stage. It entails etching or conditioning to improve the phosphate coating's adherence.

Phosphating

The process's heart, phosphating, takes place in this tank. When metal reacts with phosphoric acid, a phosphate coating is formed, which enhances corrosion resistance and promotes coating adhesion.

Post-Rinsing

Following the phosphating stage, a thorough washing is performed to remove excess chemicals and ensure the phosphate coating's resilience.

Passivation

Passivation is the process of treating a metal surface to improve corrosion resistance and optimize its chemical state.

Drying

The final process ensures that the metal substrate is properly cured, preparing it for further coatings or applications.

The results reflect the full brilliance of 7 Tank Phosphating. The improved corrosion resistance, paint adhesion, and overall durability of the altered metal surface. This procedure is widely used in industries ranging from automotive and aerospace to appliances and construction, where metal component quality and lifespan are critical.

Conclusion

In conclusion, 7 Tank Phosphating is a journey into the realm of metal transformation, not merely a method. The delicate ballet of chemical reactions and great craftsmanship results in surfaces that not only stand the test of time but also serve as a blank canvas for future improvements. As we unravel the mysteries of 7 Tank Phosphating, we discover a realm where art and science meet to improve the very essence of metal finishing.

AAAYYYYEEEE AQUARIUM EMPLOYEE SOLIDARITY!!!! do you work directly with the animals? i’m on the environmental quality team at mine, so i spend the majority of my time up in the lab or down in the pump rooms, and i’m always so envious of our galleries team for getting to have problems like ‘one of the penguins keeps fake sneezing because she loves getting attention from the vet team and wants a checkup every day or she’ll scream at us because she’s a special princess’ and ‘our moray eel found a new hiding place and we’ve yet to figure out where it is so if anyone sees him please email the head aquarist’ as opposed to ‘who the fuck used the last of our phosphate reagents and forgot to order new ones GOD DAMN IT’ and ‘alright who wants to stick their arm into the freshwater sump to retrieve the pH probe we need to calibrate?’ like it must be so wonderful to always be in such close proximity to so many little beasts and creatures. do you have a favorite kind of animal to work with/observe? i’ve always been partial to the tunicates and coldwater soft corals/sponges we pick up whenever we do collections on local coastlines. i ❤️ blob animals

Right now my aquarium is kind of a disaster (middle of massive renovations) and we have as few employees as possible so we all kind of do everything, which is sort of nice because I get to do public education and animal care and behind the scenes stuff and help with research!

I ALSO LOVE TUNICATES!!!!! They’re so cool. I especially love surprising people by telling them that tunicates are chordates that are closer related to them than anything else in the touch tank. Blob animals are the best. You should look through my moon snail tag for the biggest blob you’ll ever see

Wildfire & Environmental Health

Here's a few interesting studies I read recently at work that were related to wildfire. Y'all know I find wildfire to be an interesting topic, and I'm an environmental scientist who primarily works in the public health sphere, so I thought I would share them!

The first is about metals found in wildfire suppressants. You know, the stuff they drop from planes?

This one immediately caught my interest since I primarily work in theings related to lead, which is a heavy metal. I had not thought about heavy metals in wildfire suppressants before, but it did not suprise me given our track record with fire fighting products in the past (PFAS in fire fighting foam and asbestos as a flame retardant....)

This study looked at fire suppressants approved by the US Forest Service and consumer use to see if it could contribute to increased heavy metals found in soil and water in areas following a wildfire. They looked at vanadium, chromium, manganese, copper, arsenic, cadmium, antimony, barium, thallium, and lead and found councentrations 4–2,880 times greater than drinking water regulatory limit. At least 8, if not all, of the above metals were found in every fire suppressant tested. The products themselves are not meant to be ingested, obviously, but the concern was that if it were many times above the drinking water maximum contaminant level, that it could still be high enough to impact drinking water quality if it ran off into a reservoir used for that. The Forest Service does have buffer zones around bodies of water where fire suppressants should not be dropped, but accidents happen frequently. They estimated that "fire retardant application in the U.S. contributed approximately 380,000 kg of toxic metals to the environment between 2009 and 2021."

All fire suppressants must be tested by the US Forest Service and have their full ingredient list disclosed, but for public facing material safety data sheets up to 20% can be considered "proprietary" and not disclosed. Chromium and cadmium are effective as aluminum corrosion inhibitors, so they have been added to prevent the product from corroding the aircraft's tanks. Chromium, cadmium, lead, copper, manganese, arsenic have all been documented a contaminants in phosphate ores, which could explain some of the heavy metal concentration in fire suppressants that contain phosphates (but not all of them contained phosphates.) Leaching from metal storage/production tanks could also potentially explain some of the metals in the fire suppressants.

This is an interesting article to me. The authors did not mention it, but I want to note that heavy metal contamination can be just as harmful to wildlife as it is to humans, so even if this contamination did not actually enter human drinking water, it could still kill wildlife. This is also just a terrible glimpse into the way we damage ecosystems. Decades of total fire suppression and poor forest management has lead to increasingly worse wildfires with more fuel to burn, and climate change is fueling through hotter and drier seasons, changed weather patterns, and more. Worse wildfires means fires that are harder to control, and thus fires that need increased use of fire suppressants....which are also toxic. Sigh.

The other one is a new study I just saw today, about the potential link between wildfire smoke inhalation and dementia:

This study looked at 1.2 million people in Southern California to see if long term exposure to wildfire fine particulate matter (PM2.5) was associated with dementia diagnosis. PM2.5 exposure is already known to be a risk factor for dementia but wildfire smoke is an increasingly common source of it that can have different chemical and physical properites than other sources of PM2.5. Wildfire-generated PM2.5 now accounts for "over 70% of total PM2.5 exposure on poor air quality days in California."

They found that for every one microgram increase in wildfire PM2.5 per cubic meter of air over the course of 3 years, the odds of dementia diagnosis rose by 18%. For comparison, the odds of dementia diagnosis for the same parameters of non-wildfire PM2.5 only rise by 3%. (This is compared to everyone's baseline risk, so it is still a fairly small risk over the total population.) The difference could because wildfire smoke participles often have higher concentrations of oxidative or inflammatory compounds, have a smaller average particle size, and typically spike intermittently at high levels at certain parts of the year. Low income communities and people of color were noted to be at higher risk—potentialy due to housing quality (air filtration) and systemic discrimination compounding their risks later in life.

This study is very full of statistics and analysis, so in full disclosure some of my summary is also based off a paywalled article I read first on it. It is an intersting study for sure—I would not have guessed that wildfire smoke specifically had so much higher of an impact than other sources of particulate matter.

Uh, happy Wednesday!

cutting the light levels on the reef tank while i attempt to get a handle on the phosphate induced algae problem but it’s making me sad because i love having fish tank lights illuminating my entire room

[copperbora]

Meet Purrling Reef, aka the 13.5 gallon Fluval Evo reef aquarium that I forgot to tell you all about before: in today's episode: in which Moby scares the sh-! out of me (he's good at that.)

This is Moby, my baby Amphiprion ocellaris clownfish, who, providing that he survives my relative incompetence may live 15+ years. Clownfish are known for being quite hardy fish and people used to use them to cycle their aquariums which is now recognized by many reef aquarists as mild animal cruelty. (Therefore I cycled Purrling Reef using pure ammonia instead.) Along with my (probably female) yellow watchman goby Clyde, Moby has been in Purrling Reef for about a month now.

Things are going well; ammonia is at 0 ppm, nitrates are usually at 0 ppm, phosphates are usually at .25 ppm, salinity is stable at 1.025, and my PH hovers at a somewhat soft but okay 7-7.5. Having at last gotten through the worst of the summer heat and having finally figured out how to set up my inkbird temperature properly, Purrling Reef's waters stay a comfy 25°C (78°F,) all day and night long.

Things are going well, so naturally Moby opted to scare the crap out of me this morning by acting like he was dying.

WTF MOBY.

Terrified for his life I promptly did a water change and dosed the tank with Seachem Prime (which detoxifies ammonia as well as chemicals like chlorine,) then Seachem Stress Guard (which soothes fish.) My ammonia was at zero but I thought that the Prime was a good idea anyway.

Moby promptly stopped looking like he wanted to be crab food, so I went to work; when I came home he was back to his annoying ol' habit of chilling by the filter outflow.

WHY FISH.

After testing all of my water parameters again and finding that all seems well I turned my attention to my newest addition to my reef: Spook the Halloween Hermit crab. I actually call him Captain Spook because he is rather overwhelmingly the least useless member of my cleanup crew. Usually, since I got him he clams up at my approach, sucking as much of his body as he can into the enormous conch snail shell which he adopted as his mobile home.

Chances are he murdered the original inhabitant of this shell.

Today though Spook decided not to spook at my approach which I have two theiries for:

1. The vast anti-Keplar fortifications that I set out around the aquarium double-sided tape traps are working! Yay! (Keplar must not be scaring my aquarium inhabitants as much anymore.)

2. My water is still screwed up so Spook is feeling weird. Given that I have only been at this for like three months... yeah, I can't ignore this possibility.

It was rather remarkable getting to see his white carapace up close for once. While it reminded me that he is in fact a sea bug, but I refuse to hold this against me due to his janitorial awesomeness and the fact that he is much less anxiety inducing than Moby. (Although I live in fear of him eating one of my two puny dwarf hermit crabs.

I can't wait until I can adopt more livestock; Purrling Reef definitely has a job opening available for an emerald crab! (Captain Spook does not like salad.)

Also, here's

Also, here's Clyde the yellow watchman giby who would like me to mention her job a for a pistol shrimp; in the wild watchman gobies live with these shrimp.

If she gets a pistol shrimp friend maybe she'll coe out of her den more often.

[Morocco World News is Moroccan Media]

29 Jun 23

In December 2020, a month after the end of the ceasefire between Morocco and the Polisario, then-President Donald Trump declared U.S. support for Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara. The recognition contravened the United Nations’ position, which considers Western Sahara a “non-self governing territory,” a euphemism for a colony. In return for U.S. support on Western Sahara, Morocco joined the Abraham Accords, a series of diplomatic deals brokered by Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, that resulted in the United Arab Emirates, Sudan, Bahrain, and Morocco normalizing relations with Israel. Since then, Rabat has gone from having covert ties with Tel Aviv to becoming its open ally, and Israel has sold at least 150 drones to Morocco.[...]

Since 2020, the two countries have implemented a long series of economic and military agreements beyond the sale of drones. For the first time, Israeli troops from the elite Golani unit participated in Africa Lion, an 18-country joint military drill in Morocco, which completed on June 18. In 2021 and 2022, respectively, Gantz, Israel’s then-minister of defense, and then-Head of Israel Defense Forces Aviv Kochavi visited Morocco and signed several military deals, including a $500 million contract for the delivery of the Barak MX missile defense system to Rabat. Early this year, one of the Pentagon Discord leaks allegedly revealed that the system was scheduled to arrive in Morocco in mid-2023. Morocco is reportedly also in advanced negotiations to receive Israeli Merkava tanks. Rabat and Tel Aviv are also cooperating at an intelligence level. Morocco has widely been reported (and accused by other countries) as one of the most eager users of the Pegasus spyware developed by the Israeli NSO Group. Meanwhile, economic cooperation is booming. According to U.N. data analyzed by The Intercept, in pre-Abraham 2019, trade between Israel and Morocco was at $70.7 million. In 2022, the figure reached $178.7 million, and Tel Aviv has declared it is targeting $500 million. From 2019 to 2022, exports from Israel to Morocco increased tenfold, from $3.8 million to $38.5 million. Western Sahara plays an important role in the love story between the two countries. In 2021 and 2022, two Israeli companies, Ratio Petroleum and NewMed Energy, obtained from Morocco rights to research and potentially exploit two separate offshore blocks in the Atlantic Ocean just off Western Sahara’s coastline. Moroccan local news also announced Israel’s Selina group would soon open a hotel in Dakhla. For Morocco, foreign investments in what it considers its “southern province” mean external recognition of its claims on the territory.[...] In March last year, WSRW reported the first shipment of phosphate rock from Western Sahara to Israel. Erik Hagen, board member of WSRW, told The Intercept that the cargo was very small, and it is the only one they observed toward Israel. OCP, the Moroccan company extracting and exporting phosphate rock in Morocco and Western Sahara, hasn’t replied to a request for comment about the episode.

[Atalayar is Spanish Media]

As part of the US Senate debate on the National Defence Authorisation Act (NDAA) for fiscal year 2024, a law that supports the Armed Forces, modernises the Air Force and strengthens US national security, Arizona Democrat Senator Mark Kelly proposed integrating the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces (FAR) into military exercises led by the US Central Command (CENTCOM). Part of this law states the need to assess threats in order to reduce those related to Iran's nuclear capabilities: 'It seeks to improve coordination between the United States and regional partners to counter the shared threat from Iran by supporting Morocco's integration into military exercises led by CENTCOM', as reported by media outlets such as Yabiladi and Morocco Latest News.  The operations carried out by this body seek to "improve coordination" between the US giant and "regional partners" in order to counter the threat posed by Iran to the whole. The US Central Command is one of nine unified security commands within the US Department of Defense and is responsible for US interests in 27 nations, operating in the Middle East, Central Asia and South Asia. [...] Morocco is a permanent partner of the US Africa Command (AFRICOM) and an important player in the annual 'African Lion' exercises, in which a large number of African nations cooperate with the United States to promote defence and security against threats such as jihadist terrorism and organised crime. Now, it appears that Morocco may be close to joining the US military command in the Middle East (CENTCOM), and in addition to the scheduled AFRICOM exercises, Morocco may be called upon to participate in exercises organised by the US military in the Middle East region, thanks in part to a proposal by Senator Mark Kelly. [...] With this possible entry into CENTCOM as the second African country after Egypt, Morocco, a great ally of the United States on the African continent, would thus strengthen its military and security cooperation with the US and, by extension, with other allied partners such as Israel. This privileged position gives Morocco the option of having access to an important market for weapons and technology produced by the US and Israel, which further strengthens the Moroccan military.

cyanobacteria is kicking my ass again so here are some PRO TIPS‼️ for dealing with it:

if you smell the Cyanobacteria Smell then take care of it soon!! do a water change and check your plants!! don’t ignore it just because it’s hard to see!

if there’s mats of it, it can usually be siphoned off easily. trying to swipe it off with your fingers is futile just use a hose.

it mainly shows up when the water has consistently low nitrates and high phosphates. i think that generally happens in heavily planted tanks with lots of decaying material (plants, food, dead things etc) and infrequent water changes

the way i’ve dealt with it then is by doing more water changes, heavily trimming plants, & over-dosing liquid fertilizer to keep the nitrates above 0. i’ve read some people add straight nitrate, but i’m not sure how happy shrimp would be with that..

a way to tell if it’s growing is if all the worms disappear. the cyanotoxins it puts out are ruthless to them, even when there’s only a bit of it!! the smaller crustaceans are always fine, im not sure about shrimp. fish get lethargic and stressed from it (and die if there’s a lot).

IF YOU HAVE DUCKWEED AND GET CYANOBACTERIA. TAKE THE DUCKWEED OUUUUUUUUUT

or any floating plant that covers a lot of the surface really!! i had water lettuce before and it was a nightmare, because right at the top of the water near the light & tucked into roots is the perfect place for cyanobacteria to be. duckweed is the main thing though, since if it builds a layer & then dies off, that can cause a bloom.

its a really cool bacteria, it’s been on earth for 3.5 billion years, it was the first thing to photosynthesize and it’s still around, it’s just that adaptable, and it’s awesome. unfortunately it also sucks for fish tanks. 💔

Unlocking the Secrets of the 7 Tank Process for Powder Coating Success

Powder coating has become a popular finishing method due to its durability, aesthetics, and environmental benefits. The 7-tank procedure stands out among the many ways as a thorough and effective approach to achieving exceptional powder coating outcomes. In this blog, we'll delve into the complexities of the 7-tank process, revealing the secrets that contribute to its success in producing high-quality, long-lasting coated products.

Learning the 7-Tank Process:

The 7-tank process is a precisely constructed approach that consists of seven separate steps, each of which is critical in preparing the substrate and guaranteeing optimal powder coating adhesion and endurance.

Visit Website: https://officefurnitureindia.in/7-tank-phosphating-process/

Pre-treatment:

The procedure begins with pre-treatment, which involves thoroughly cleaning the substrate to eliminate impurities such as oils, grease, and rust. This step is critical in achieving a clean surface that facilitates good powder adherence.

Rinsing:

The substrate is rinsed after pre-treatment to remove any leftover cleaning agents. This ensures a clean surface for the powder coating process's future steps.

Phosphating:

Phosphating is a chemical process that coats the substrate with phosphate. This coating improves powder adherence and adds corrosion resistance, making the completed product more durable.

The Second Rinsing:

A second rinse cycle is used after phosphating to eliminate any surplus chemicals and by-products. This thorough rinse is required to prepare the substrate for the subsequent phases of the process.

Drying:

The substrate is then completely dried to remove any remaining moisture. A totally dry surface is necessary for proper powder adherence and the prevention of flaws in the finished coating.

Application of Powder Coating:

The powder coating procedure begins once the substrate has been thoroughly prepared. Powder particles that are electrostatically charged stick to the substrate, resulting in a uniform and robust covering.

Curing:

The powder-coated substrate is then baked to cure in the final stage. The heat causes a chemical reaction, causing the powder to melt, flow, and cure into a long-lasting finish. Curing is critical for getting the desired coating qualities, such as hardness and chemical resistance.

The 7-Tank Process Success Secrets:

Surface Preparation is Critical:

The thorough preparation of the substrate is what makes the 7-tank procedure so effective. Thorough cleaning and pre-treatment guarantee that the surface is clean and free of impurities, resulting in a perfect canvas for powder coating.

Chemical Accuracy:

Accurate chemical formulations in each stage, particularly phosphating, contribute to the process's effectiveness. Exact chemical treatments improve adhesion and corrosion resistance, raising the overall quality of the powder-coated product.

Timing and Temperature:

It is critical to maintain strict control over the curing process. The proper curing temperature and duration ensure that the powder coating reaches maximum hardness and endurance. Deviations from these specifications can result in coating problems.

Source URL: https://theomnibuzz.com/unlocking-the-secrets-of-the-7-tank-process-for-powder-coating-success/

Powder Coating Materials of High Quality:

It is critical to use high-quality powder coating materials. The selection of powders with the proper composition and properties is critical in obtaining the required finish and durability.

Conclusion:

The 7-tank process for powder coating success displays the value of accuracy, thoroughness, and attention to detail in surface preparation and finishing. Uncovering the secrets of each stage enables manufacturers and finishers to create powder-coated goods that meet high quality, durability, and aesthetic appeal on a consistent basis. Businesses can upgrade their powder coating processes and assure customer satisfaction with goods that stand the test of time by learning and adopting these secrets.

Hi! Any tips for algea control in a planted tank?

I will be dead honest, I've given up on controlling algae in any tank. It's just a given. If you are having a MASSIVE algae outbreak there's a few things to think about:

are you doing enough water changes? Water changes will lower all the levels of stuff that algae thrives on (very technical I know, sorry, but that's the basics of it).

Are you fertilizing? If yes, your ferts may need to be uh, recalibrated. Might be too much phosphates, or too much nitrates, or it might be a combo of the ferts plus your lighting schedule. Algae monopolizes ferts and light as it grows faster than most aquarium plants, and sometimes shortening your light time and adjusting your ferts will help you control the algae while still allowing your tank plants to grow well.

Is it something really annoying like BBA or the slimy stuff? Or, ugh, hair algae? Staghorn? Many of these are both prolific and really really difficult to get rid of. Most algae eating aquarium denizens won't touch them, or won't be able to put a dent in them. In that case, you'll need to look up the specifics of fighting that algae off. Doing the one- or two-day blackouts, using hydrogen peroxide on a spot by spot basis (using syringes or eye droppers or turkey basters), and possibly other algaecide measures (altho those are not recommended to use in tank since they can harm your plants) are some of the things you can do.

One thing you SHOULDN'T do is introduce more fish/shrimp/snails into your tank for the sole purpose of getting rid of algae. That's not fair to them and you won't get the result you want. If you wanted Otos or Amano shrimp or Nerites or Ramshorn snails then yeah go for it and they'll help with algae issues. But getting tank denizens you weren't planning to get just to try and control algae never works out the way you want.

Anyways, personally I've lowered my fertilization schedule, shortened the photoperiod, and I have So Many Ramshorn snails right now that they literally don't have enough to eat it looks like (it's a little sad how many shells there are on the bottom of the tank, I need to supplement with more food if I want to keep more alive longer). So right now I don't have what I'd call 'issues' with algae. I do have some algae here and there but that's a natural part of having an aquarium.

So I know I shouldn't be hatewatching fatphobic people on Youtube because it fucking tanks my mental health but it's a bad habit of mine, so anyway I saw this video on "the most obese country in the world" and I'm like ohh boy here comes the painting obesity as a sign of a nation "failing" but it was so much worse than that

PSA TO EVERYONE ON THIS WEBSITE, THE YOUTUBER KIANA DOCHERTY IS SO MUCH WORSE THAN JUST A FATPHOBE

She specifically targets fat activists to ridicule them in her videos when they're doing nothing but trying to make people feel better about their weight

In her video on the most obese country in the world (I'll save you a click it's Nauru) rather than focus on the colonialism and environmental practices that basically changed the entire culture of the island she just uses them to further paint obesity as "how it all went wrong." She could've made an insightful video about how the western world owes reparations and support to the island's people for destroying the environment and their traditional way of life but NO she got on her moral soapbox just to demonize obesity amongst people WHO ALREADY HAVE A GENETIC PREDISPOSITION TO STORE FAT ANYWAY. AND SHE SAW THIS IN THE VIDEO. She showed the video of the native people of the island before the phosphate mining decimated it and the colonialism took over and she SAW that the natives were visibly fat and she thought NOTHING of it.

And on top of all that Kiana is incredibly ableist. She mocked Tess Holiday for claiming to have an eating disorder just because she didn't believe fat anorexics exist, and she tried to armchair diagnose Tammy from 1000 lb Sisters as a narcissist which already further stigmatizes people with NPD especially the way she presented her

KIANA DOCHERTY IS A MANIPULATIVE BULLY, A RACIST AND A REALLY UGLY ABLEIST.

Please, if you have anyone in your life who is a fan of this person please tell them these things. And if they refuse to see reason you have all right to cut them out of your life.

I have a school of these in my 130 litre tank.

I’d always wanted some but I worried because I’d heard they were a particularly nervous fish so I wasn’t sure how well they’d go.

Turns out they’re easier than I’d thought to keep happy if you have them in a group and in a planted tank with a slight current.

They’re really a beautiful fish and just like the ones shown in this post they do have an iridescence to them from certain angles and seem to have specific spots in the tank they like to hang out.

I have mine in neutral pH with the water kept at 26��C and my tank planted with blue stricta and my canister filter is 3 stage with 2 different sized sponges in the first stage which traps debris, ceramic noodles and lumps in the second stage which form a surface for beneficial bacteria colonies and the third stage I’m using bituminous carbon, zeolite and Seachem Phosguard which works to help keep the water clear and controls phosphates, nitrates and ammonia. I’ve also got two air stones in the back corners of the tank and they seem to be thriving.

These innovations help farmers to increase the level of their production in a responsible manner in order to sustain the growing demand for food worldwide.

Sustainable Farming Practices to Influence Market Growth

The goal of sustainable agriculture is to grow food that does not harm the environment, supports biodiversity, and does not consume the resources of the earth more than it can replenish for future generations. In this context, organic farming is an essential aspect as it refrains from the use of artificial chemicals and pesticides, relying instead on natural fertilizers, compost, and crop rotation to maintain soil quality while preventing erosion of the soil. Governments worldwide are promoting the concept of organic farming to align with global sustainability goals. In fact, according to a USDA study released in November 2023, in 2021, the total area of land in the United States that is certified organic reached 4.89 million acres. Over the last two decades, a higher amount of government spending has been approved for the USDA initiatives that enhance organic research. The mandatory spending cap for the Organic Agriculture Research and Extension Initiative has undergone enormous changes, from USD 3 million in the year 2002 to USD 50 million for the year 2023.

Other sustainable practices include the diversification of crops and the application of integrated pest management (IPM) techniques to minimize chemical usage and enhance the biological equilibrium. The incorporation of these methods leads to increased farm output and improved climate change resilience while striving to achieve high yields without compromising on environmental protection and soil health for the future.

Nitrogen-based Fertilizers Hold a Significant Market Share

The global fertilizers market is dominated by nitrogen-based fertilizers, which are important for increasing crop yield. The development of a plant cannot take place if nitrogen is absent since this is an important component for photosynthesis and protein synthesis, which are essential for the growth and translocation of nutrients in the plant. Most farmers use nitrogen fertilizers because of the nutrient’s quick effect on crop growth, especially for cereals and grains with high demand.

The ever-increasing need for nitrogen fertilizers is further driven by the global concern for food supply as they allow farmers to fully utilize the minimal cultivable land. However, the environmental issues associated with nitrogen leaching and emissions are leading to the emergence of controlled-release and precision application technologies that help to enhance productivity while ensuring the principles of sustainability are respected. For instance, in September 2024, Malaysia-based National Farmers’ Association (NAFAS) introduced its latest nitrogen-based controlled-release liquid fertilizer, Peladang 25, created to guarantee that its nitrogen content is released gradually, giving plants consistent and efficient nutrition throughout their growth stages. The fertilizer is suitable for crops such as oil palm, Napier grass, rice, and pineapple and is compatible with herbicides and fungicides.

North America to Dominate the Market Growth

North America is positioned at the forefront of the primary nutrient fertilizers market owing to the high level of development in agriculture and the wide use of sophisticated techniques for farming. This is mainly driven by large-scale agriculture practiced in the region that uses substantial fertilizers to improve crop production, especially in key crops such as corn, wheat, and soybeans. Advanced fertilizer technologies such as controlled released fertilizers and precision agriculture have been adopted in North America to maximize farm inputs and protect the environment from pollution associated with fertilizer use. Strengthening its position in the region, in June 2023, Everris International B.V. launched a new line of advanced foliar and fertigation products under the brand name Nova in North America. The objective is to provide high-quality water-soluble N-P-Ks and micronutrients to the crops. The range includes Nova FINISH, Nova PULSE, Nova ELEVATE, and Nova FLOW. These products primarily aim to bring the crop nutrients more efficiently to the intended site of action and are designed to achieve maximum solubility and good compatibility with most herbicides and crop protectants.

By encouraging the use of fertilizers and advances in sustainable agriculture practices, governmental backing and conducive agricultural policies come into play. Nevertheless, as awareness of environmental consequences rises, the North American market is progressively making a turn to organic fertilizers aiming at sustainability and environmental conservation without compromising agricultural efficiency.

Key Components of an Industrial Effluent Treatment Plant

An Industrial Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) is essential for ensuring that the wastewater or effluent generated by industrial processes is treated before being discharged into the environment or reused. With industries contributing significantly to water pollution through the release of harmful chemicals, heavy metals, and organic pollutants, ETPs play a crucial role in mitigating these risks. Understanding the key components of an industrial ETP can help businesses design, operate, and maintain an effective wastewater treatment system that adheres to environmental regulations.

In this blog, we’ll explore the fundamental components of an industrial effluent treatment plant and how each plays a vital role in ensuring the treated effluent is safe for discharge or reuse.

1. Inlet Chamber

The inlet chamber is the first point of contact for industrial effluent as it enters the treatment plant. This chamber serves several critical functions:

Preliminary Screening: The inlet chamber typically includes screens to remove large solid particles such as plastics, metals, and other debris that could damage or obstruct the treatment equipment.

Flow Regulation: It helps regulate the flow of effluent entering the plant, ensuring that the treatment processes function efficiently.

2. Primary Treatment Units

Primary treatment is the initial stage of effluent treatment that focuses on removing large solids, oils, and floating debris from the wastewater. The main components involved in primary treatment are:

Coagulation and Flocculation Tanks: These units are used to add chemicals (coagulants) that help aggregate smaller particles into larger clumps (flocs), making them easier to remove.

Settling Tanks or Clarifiers: These tanks allow suspended solids to settle at the bottom due to gravity. The heavier particles form sludge, while the cleaner water moves on to the next treatment stage.

Purpose: Primary treatment mainly reduces the load of solid waste and removes larger particles, oils, and grease.

3. Secondary Treatment Units

Secondary treatment is the biological treatment phase, aimed at reducing organic matter and dissolved pollutants in the effluent. This stage often employs microorganisms to break down organic substances, making the water cleaner.

Key components in secondary treatment include:

Activated Sludge Process (ASP): This is one of the most common biological treatments. Microorganisms are introduced into the effluent to consume organic pollutants. The treated effluent is then sent to a settling tank to separate the activated sludge (microorganisms) from the water.

Trickling Filters: In this system, effluent is passed over a bed of microbial growth media (such as rocks or plastic) where microorganisms break down the organic matter as the water flows over them.

Aeration Tanks: These tanks are equipped with diffusers that inject air into the effluent to encourage the growth of aerobic microorganisms, which are crucial for breaking down organic matter.

Purpose: Secondary treatment is designed to remove dissolved and colloidal organic materials, reducing biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD).

4. Tertiary Treatment Units

Tertiary treatment is the final polishing stage of effluent treatment. It further improves water quality and ensures that the effluent meets the required discharge or reuse standards. Common tertiary treatment components include:

Filtration: After secondary treatment, the water passes through filters to remove any remaining fine particles. This can include sand filtration, activated carbon filters, or membrane filtration systems like ultrafiltration (UF) or reverse osmosis (RO).

UV Disinfection: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is used to kill any remaining microorganisms, ensuring that the treated water is free from pathogens.

Chemical Treatment: In some cases, chemicals may be added to remove residual contaminants, such as phosphates or heavy metals, through precipitation or adsorption.

Purpose: Tertiary treatment ensures that the water is sufficiently clean and safe for discharge into water bodies or for reuse in industrial applications like cooling or irrigation.

5. Sludge Treatment and Disposal

The treatment of sludge is a crucial part of an industrial effluent treatment system, as sludge can contain harmful pathogens, chemicals, and other contaminants. Effective sludge treatment reduces its volume and makes it safer for disposal or reuse.

Common sludge treatment components include:

Sludge Thickening Tanks: These tanks help concentrate the sludge by allowing the solids to settle, making subsequent treatment processes more efficient.

Sludge Dewatering: Technologies like belt filter presses or centrifuges are used to remove excess water from the sludge, turning it into a more manageable, solid form.

Sludge Drying or Incineration: Depending on the type of effluent, the dewatered sludge may be dried or incinerated to reduce volume further or for safe disposal.

Purpose: Proper sludge treatment prevents the risk of pollution from untreated sludge and helps manage waste effectively.

6. Disinfection Unit

After the effluent has undergone primary, secondary, and tertiary treatment stages, it often undergoes a disinfection process to kill any remaining bacteria, viruses, or pathogens. This step ensures that the treated effluent is safe for discharge into water bodies or for reuse.

Methods of disinfection include:

Chlorination: The effluent is treated with chlorine or chlorine compounds to disinfect it.

Ozonation: Ozone gas is used as a powerful disinfectant, breaking down organic and inorganic contaminants.

UV Radiation: As mentioned earlier, UV light is used to deactivate microorganisms, making the water safe.

Purpose: Disinfection ensures that the treated effluent does not pose any health risk to humans, animals, or aquatic life.

7. Effluent Monitoring and Control Systems

An integral part of modern ETPs is the monitoring and control system, which ensures that the treatment processes are operating effectively and in compliance with regulatory standards. These systems include:

Flow Meters and Sensors: To measure the flow of effluent and ensure that treatment processes are working at the correct capacity.

Online Monitoring: Instruments that provide real-time data on parameters like pH, dissolved oxygen, BOD, COD, and turbidity.

Automation and Control Systems: These systems help operators monitor plant performance, adjust parameters, and manage energy consumption efficiently.

Purpose: Monitoring and control systems ensure that the treatment plant meets environmental regulations, reduces operational costs, and minimizes environmental impact.

Conclusion

An industrial effluent treatment plant consists of several critical components that work together to remove harmful pollutants from wastewater before it is either discharged into the environment or reused. Each stage— from inlet chambers and primary treatment to sludge management and disinfection— plays a vital role in ensuring that effluent is treated effectively and meets environmental standards. Understanding these key components can help industries design, operate, and maintain ETPs that support sustainability while ensuring regulatory compliance. By investing in advanced treatment technologies and effective sludge management, industries can significantly reduce their environmental footprint and contribute to cleaner, safer water for future generations.
