Benefits of Solvents in the Industrial World

Benefits of solvents in industrial plants

In industrial, machinery and Equipment when they are using for a long time the various stains are usually to be appeared. The substances inside will be stick and create deep stains in the equipment that is not an easy task for cleaning. In the traditional way of cleaning method is omeone scrubs with a brass brush. Using the automatic brush set and even high pressure water jets are used to extract those stains. It is necessary to remove those parts and put them back again which takes a lot of people and time (Man-hours) to clean at one time.
 

Solvent in industrial applications


“Proper use of (solvent)” by simply adding solvent Let the equipment and let it melt that spot and leaks out of our equipment without damaging the material. Rinse with water and you're done.
 
 
Currently, it is found that Solvent substances are widely used. and can be used in many ways in the industry, including:

• Cleaning equipment in the factory such as Heat Exchanger, Boiler, Fired heater.
• Solvents in glue 
• Coating work and metal melting work in the electronics industry
• Ink production factory
• Polishing work
• Asphalt cleaning work
• Ingredients in detergents or surfactants
• Solvent for distilling and separating substances to make them pure which we called "Liquid-liquid extraction".

This article focuses on cleaning work. Because it's used a lot and is really seen the most in the industry, such as cleaning work for Heat Exchangers, Boilers, Fired heaters, and other equipment where mechanical cleaning can't be done thoroughly. Cleaning the device brings its performance back close to the new one and make the factory save energy as well.

The principle of washing is we must know the type of dirt that we want to wash out. Select the most appropriate Solvent by choosing from the solubility properties of the solute (dirt). For example, an organic substances (Hydrocarbon fouling) must be used as organic solvents such as Toluene, Hexane, Benzene, etc. But if it is rust or sulfur stains, then choose a solvent that is acidic in order to wash away rusting scale or corrosion scale. The cleaning contractor's company will choose the solvent and evaluate the cleaning method to prevent damage from washing also.

What are Volatile Organic Compounds?

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) or commonly known as VOCs refer to a group of organic compounds that can easily evaporate into vapor and disperse in the air at normal temperatures and pressures. The main components of the substance are carbon atoms, hydrogen, and other elements such as oxygen, fluoride, chloride, bromide, sulfur, and nitrogen.

Nano Plastic in Drinking Water

“Plastic bottled water” is a popular product that is indispensable in daily life. In addition to the convenience of purchasing and carrying according to the modern lifestyle. It has also been advertised as It is clean and safe. Free from chemical residues, good for health, including the deep-seated belief that it is a choice “Safer” than water coming out of the “faucet”. But a new research study by a team
of scientists from Columbia University in New York City and Rutgers University of New Jersey, USA, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reveals shocking results, indicating that bottled water has a much worse effect on humans than the global plastic waste crisis.

“Phi Seua House”, a prototype clean energy home that produces 100% of its own electricity from solar and hydrogen.

On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the
“Phi Suea House Project” in Chiang Mai Province,
a residential building project that uses green hydrogen energy, a pioneering project in sustainable housing development, organized the “Hydrogen Summit 2025”, opening the Phi Suea House to visitors, revealing the project development guidelines, the advancement of hydrogen technology, and opening a forum for experts to exchange ideas on promoting the hydrogen economy both in Thailand and internationally.
