Needing new equipment is a sign of growth for your operation, but it can also require a lot of planning and even temporary shut down. For many facilities, choosing a delivery date of their regular yearly shutdown allows for better time management and fewer hiccups–but that’s not all that goes into installation preparation! If you’re […]

Performing regularly scheduled preventive maintenance is essential for maximizing the lifespan and efficiency of processing equipment. General Kinematics equipment is integral to processes and challenging to replace quickly – especially if parts are not kept on hand or equipment manufacturers operate with long lead times. Additionally, regular preventive maintenance can minimize the amount of unscheduled […]

What is Incineration Ash? Waste-to-energy (WTE) incineration is the process of burning waste materials to produce heat that can thereafter be used to evaporate water and generate steam. As in coal and nuclear energy generation processes, that steam can be used to power a steam turbine which in turn generates electrical energy. However, because the […]
