FRP Training Courses Slated for Houston and Frankfurt

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:11:40 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ St. Louis, Missouri - February 7, 2012- The Materials Technology Institute (MTI) is sponsoring a two-day training program on Inspection of New FRP Equipment & Piping March 5-6 in Houston, Texas and a one-day session in Frankfurt, Germany March 26. These unique programs will provide a comprehensive overview of the areas that are of critical importance for evaluating the quality and conformance of new FRP equipment and piping.

The classroom sessions are intended for personnel who are professional inspectors, but have little or no background in FRP inspections. An engineering degree or certificate and/or experience in fabrication, repair, or inspection of FRP equipments are recommended prerequisites.

"While there are quite a few public courses, seminars, and training classes to help younger and less experienced Inspectors develop inspection competencies for metallic equipment, the same does not apply for fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) equipment," points out Hardin Wells, Sr. Advisor - Mechanical Tech Service at Albemarle Corporation and MTI Project Champion. "The membership of the Materials Technology Institute recognized the lack of similar training for FRP equipment. The MTI FRP Inspector training class is designed as a first step towards filling that void.

"Unlike metallic equipment, where the raw materials (plate, pipe, fittings) are homogeneous and built in accordance by others per longstanding industry standards, the FRP materials used for FRP equipment are very much non-homogeneous, and are created by the fabricator as the equipment is being produced," explains Wells. "These features create significantly greater inspection challenges than are present for metallic equipment, where the inspector must validate both the creation of the raw material alongside creation of the equipment."

Presenter and FRP inspection expert Juan Bustillos, Bustillos & Associates, LLC, will cover the following topics in the training sessions:

• FRP Materials - Resins, Reinforcements & Cure Systems
• FRP Manufacturing Methods Overview
• Manufacturing Specifics - Vessels & Piping
• Inspection & Testing
• Inspection Safety
• Applicable Codes & Standards
• Flaw Definitions - Descriptions of all common flaws
• FRP Flaws & Imperfections
• Dual Laminates (Frankfurt session only)

In addition to classroom training, attendees will receive a CD including all course materials and presentations. Upon completion of a comprehension test (Houston-only), attendees will also receive a certificate.

For more information or to register for the Houston event, contact Lori Elgin at lelgin@mti-global.org. For the Frankfurt session, contact Katherine Reinecke at kreinecke@mti-global.org. Please be aware that space for these sessions is limited.

SWAT Radon Reduction - Radon Gas Issues During the Winter Months - Is Your Family at Risk?

Mon, 19 Dec 2011 08:49:35 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ Lansing, MI - December 16, 2011 -- Winter brings families closer as they spend more time indoors together, but that indoor time can lead to a significant increase in dangerous radon gas exposure. Testing your home for radon gas during the winter is an important part of keeping your family safe. The lack of airflow and increased time indoors that many families experience all winter long can greatly increase the levels and exposure time to radon gas, creating a danger in homes all over the world.

Why Is Radon More Dangerous In the Winter?

• Homes Are Sealed - Radon levels go up in the winter because people close up their homes to keep out the cold. When your windows are closed and sealed for winter and air stops moving in and out of your home on a regular basis, radon gas has a chance to build up with no way to escape. This sealing makes winter the most dangerous time of the year when you're worried about what may be leaking into your home. Carbon monoxide deaths go up during the winter, and silent radon exposure that can lead to lung cancer goes up right alongside it.

• People Stay Indoors - Winter months bring inclement weather in with them, leaving your family stuck indoors when they would otherwise be out. When you stay in your home for the winter, you increase the exposure time you and your family have around anything in the air inside your home. Radon gas buildup is higher in the winter, and you and your family are spending more time in the house breathing it.

How Does Radon Get In During the Winter?

• Cracks - Homeowners often have small cracks in the floor and walls of their home that end up being vulnerable to the elements. Radon present in the dirt around and under your home can leech in through cracks and joints throughout the house. While this radon would simply disappear into the atmosphere outdoors, it builds up in the air inside your home when windows are closed and areas are weatherproofed for winter.

• Gaps And Cavities - The gaps under your floor and in the walls can be a simple vector for radon gas looking for a way into your home. Radon built up in the dirt around and under your house can seep in through the external openings and cracks in your siding, getting caught in the insulating gaps between your home's exterior and interior. This gas will slowly leak into the living areas of your home, exposing you and your family to danger. The sealed atmosphere of most homes during winter makes it easier for radon gas to seep in and get stuck.

• Concrete Foundation - Concrete is a porous material, and radon gas can pass through the concrete foundation because of this. The radon gas is small enough to pass through even the smallest of voids and openings, even small enough that they may not be visible without magnifying equipment.

What Can You Do?

The first step toward dealing with a winter radon exposure problem is getting your home tested for the presence of the hazardous gas. SWAT Radon Reduction offers radon testing options that can help make sure your family is protected from the long term cancer risks associated with radon gas. If you find out that your home's winter radon risk is higher than it should be, SWAT Radon Reduction can help you lower radon levels significantly at a reasonable price in order to keep your family safe. Call SWAT Radon Reduction with any questions regarding radon gas testing or radon reduction: 1-800-667-2366 or visit the SWAT Radon Reduction website at: www.RadonSystem.com

MPE Inc., Established Leader in Disposable Protective Clothing, Offers Tyvek Disposable Shoe Covers

Mon, 10 Oct 2011 18:57:09 +0000

A leader in supplying high-quality, recycled, disposable clothing for more than 20 years, MPE offers Tyvek(R) disposable shoe covers for the best balance of comfort, protection and affordability.

/EINPresswire.com/ HAMMOND, IND. - Committed to providing quality disposable protective clothing since its founding in 1987, Miller's Precision Enterprises Inc. supplies Tyvek disposable shoe covers for effective protection in medical, industrial, manufacturing and other industries.

"I am proud to say our shoe covers are the industry standard for dry particulate barriers," said Mike Miller, CEO of MPE, Inc. "Even microscopic particles as small as 0.5 microns can't pass through them. Their barrier is so durable, it's practically impenetrable, hard to scratch or wear away — meaning workers are protected from contamination as well as the possible spread of harmful materials."

Designed to be slipped over a worker's shoes and then thrown away after use, MPE's disposable shoe covers are not only durable but also six times more breathable than alternative microporous film garment materials, made of 100% High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). Because they can be discarded after use, they are effective at protecting against the spread of blood, bodily fluids, chemicals and other harmful substances. Because they are breathable, they allow for air and moisture to pass through easily.

"What's so important about breathability is that it helps reduce heat stress, a serious problem in hazardous environments," Miller said. "Often, for individuals working in hazardous environments, their bodies radiate heat and moisture. When protective materials cannot let those materials escape, the worker deals with serious heat stress, a factor that not only distracts from work but also compromises safety."

MPE's shoe covers provide a barrier throughout the entire fabric, unlike similar versions that have film or coating easy to scratch away. The level of security they offer means reliable protection and consistent durability.

About Miller's Precision Enterprises: Miller's Precision Enterprises Inc. (http://www.disposable-garments.com) is an Indiana-based company that specializes in protective clothing. With items like disposable shoe covers and disposable pants, the company's products are useful in many industries.

Recycled Clothing Provider MPE Inc. Offers OSHA-Approved Disposable Lab Coats

Mon, 03 Oct 2011 15:13:39 +0000

A leader in supplying recycled disposable clothing for over 20 years, MPE caters to the medical industry with disposable lab coats that are OSHA-approved as barrier lab coats for blood borne pathogens.

/EINPresswire.com/ HAMMOND, IND. -- Miller's Precision Enterprises Inc., a leader in presenting affordable disposable clothing to the public since 1987, meets the unique demands of the medical industry with disposable lab coats that are OSHA-approved for blood borne pathogens. Featuring elastic cuffs that are pulled over a worker's latex gloves, these coats are designed to fully seal the arms to protect from exposure to blood borne pathogens or other contaminants.

"At MPE, we are proud to offer lab coats approved by OSHA as effective barriers to hazardous materials such as blood or bodily fluids," said Mike Miller, CEO of MPE, Inc. "Especially in the medical industry, barrier controls are necessary to prevent hazardous materials from spreading, spraying, splashing or otherwise contaminating workers. Our protective garments shield both workers and their clothing from harmful exposures."

The Tyvek(R) disposable lab coats that MPE offers are made of 100% High Density Polyethylene, (HDPE), which creates an impenetrable barrier throughout the entire fabric. Difficult to tear or scratch, these coats stand up to any liquids or solids to which a worker may be exposed. What's more, Tyvek(R) lab coats are made to be breathable, allowing for air and moisture to pass through the material rather than get trapped inside and increase heat stress.

"Our lab coats truly offer the best combination of comfort, protection and affordability," Miller said. "For any office or lab where a threat of exposure to blood borne pathogens exists, our OSHA-approved coats provide the level of security that is needed — without sacrificing on the comfort, costs or quality that MPE is known for."

Thu, 29 Sep 2011 06:04:27 +0000

Leading recycled Tyvek clothing supplier MPE provides recycled Tyvek(R) suits at a fraction of the cost of new suits, for clothing that is durable, breathable and affordable

/EINPresswire.com/ HAMMOND, IND. -- Miller's Precision Enterprises Inc., the Indiana-based company known for its commitment to high-quality protective recycled clothing since 1987, is offering customers a better alternative to plastic suits. With recycled Tyvek(R) suits, MPE provides a practically indestructible suit that blocks even microscopic particles, is fully breathable to allow the body to expel heat and moisture, and is very affordable — at a 40% lower cost than new suits.

"These multipurpose suits are comfortable, breathable, and so strong that you can keep wearing them over and over again," said Mike Miller, CEO of MPE, Inc. "Yet at the same time, we price them so low that it's easy to throw them away when you need to. Bottom line, you can't get a better suit than these."

Crafted from Tyvek's patented material that has been recycled and repurposed, MPE's Tyvek(R) suits are made to protect workers from all kinds of harmful liquids and airborne particles, whether that means dirt, paint, solvents, chemicals, oils, grease or pathogens. What's more, these powerfully durable and protective recycled suits are made to be cost-effective, starting at prices as low as $3.10 each for a 25-case lot.

"With recycled suits, companies can truly feel good about doing something that helps the environment," Miller said. "And along with that, they're also saving good money. Even though they are just as good as brand-new suits, our recycled suits are up to 40% cheaper than new ones."

Top 5 Green Chemistry Trends

Wed, 24 Aug 2011 14:36:28 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ These five trends are some of the ways we're hearing that chemical companies are adopting green chemistry concepts for the corporate sector to gain a competitive advantage, make their offerings more sustainable, and fulfill corporate social responsibility mandates.

Assess the product life cycle: Chemical technology groups are now making more systematic efforts to define their product systems using life cycle assessments. This approach to identifying environmental and economic factors that can enhance the value proposition of a company's offering is an emerging way to compete in the chemical industry.

Focus on catalysis: Catalytic reagents are superior to stoichiometric reagents. Chemical companies are often seeking out new reaction conditions and methods that enhance their yield. Searching for and identifying the latest, innovative catalysts, using a workflow tool like Reaxys, a database of experimentally validated reaction and substance data, is one way to do that.

Use renewable feedstock: Use renewable raw material or feedstock whenever practical. From biopolymers to biopesticides to bio-based commodity chemicals and fuels, focusing on delivering sustainable products made from alternative sources is a major growth platform for chemical companies. Elsevier Biofuel is one such tool that enables comprehensive research in scientific, industrial, and commercial biofuel data.

Optimize processes: Process intensification is one of the most discussed technical topics across multiple sub-segments of the chemical industry. Smaller-scale intermediate and ingredient providers are focusing more on developing safe, continuous processes with microreactors. And high-volume commodity chemical producers continually seek smaller and more efficient plants to help address the problems of increasingly high costs of capital investment.

Do your research: We continue to hear that the value of researching what has already been done and what the latest technologies are. For example, using tools like SciVerse ScienceDirect — a database of more than 10 million peer-reviewed, full-text scientific journal articles and book chapters — is incomparable in helping to avoid costly mistakes, either in new product development, or process design and scale-up.

Learn more about using Reaxys, Elsevier Biofuel, or SciVerse ScienceDirect for your chemistry research at www.elsevierchem.com.

Macki Named MTI Fellow

As Executive Director since 1998, he has helped guide MTI's growth and other important goals set forth in its Strategic Plan.

In 2000, MTI began recognizing individuals who have been instrumental in the development and progression of the organization over a period of at least 10 years. Macki was the 12th member to be elected to its prestigious roster of Fellows.

"Being a Fellow is the highest honor MTI can bestow upon an individual, which is why there are so few despite all the talented and committed people that have touched the organization since its inception," says Ed Naylor, MTI Chair. "Jim Macki has humbly guided MTI through turmoil, economic instability and good times with fervor and grace such that the organization continues to thrive and demonstrate excellent value for membership. MTI Fellows are those who demonstrate exceedingly high commitment to the health, well-being and future of MTI and the principles for which it stands."

Macki's many achievements include overseeing the organization's expansion into Europe and Asia. "MTI members and staff continuously solve engineering problems globally," he reports, sharing credit for the accomplishments. "MTI has grown globally in recent years mainly because of the willingness of the members to adjust to other cultures. I am especially proud of how we were able to figure out how to service our members in China and Asia."

"It is all too easy to take a quiet contributor like Jim for granted," concludes former Chair Gary Whittaker, a Materials Engineering Fellow at Eastman Chemical Company. "I thought, in this case, he should be recognized while he is still an active part of MTI."

Macki embraces the job and the opportunities that lie ahead. MTI's newest Fellow is having the time of his life contributing to the organization and watching it continue to grow as an important materials engineering resource for processing industry companies around the world.

MPE, Providing Protective Workplace Clothing Items, Offers Cost-Effective Clothing Lines Crafted to be Breathable, Protective and Environmentally Safe

/EINPresswire.com/HAMMOND, IND. - MPE Inc., a leader in protective disposable clothes, understands that many businesses are in need of cost-effective alternatives to Tyvek protective clothing. MPE clothes, such as MaxShield brand items, provide strength, comfort and protection at a lower cost than Tyvek.

"The ability to dispose of a soiled garment, such as a lab coat or a set of smocks, is a significant benefit for people who wear our clothing while working in hazardous environments," said Mike Miller, CEO of MPE, Inc. "Our line of MaxShield products are disposable for ease of use and convenience, while still boasting superior protective features that keep wearers safe."

MaxShield products are made by binding a micro porous polyethylene film to a polypropylene spunbonded substrate to be highly durable and protective. The polyethylene film on the outside of the disposable coverall provides strength and protection from solid particulate and liquids.

MPE sells clothes that are crafted with sturdy, high-density fabric that protects the wearer from outside contaminants. MPE clothes protect against such harmful materials as blood-borne pathogens, aerosols and paints.

MPE specializes in many different types of disposable clothes, including jumpsuits, footwear, fire-retardant apparel, biohazard suits, coveralls, aprons, smock, pants and lab coats.

"Our disposable clothing lines are durable, sturdy and very breathable for comfort; heat and sweat vapors can pass through, but harmful materials can't," Miller said. "We have a reputation for providing high-quality clothing, and we're certain that you'll feel comfortable relying on us to keep you safe and dry."
