Chemplast Sanmar Wins Prize For Its Industrial Garden

The “Industrial Garden” of Chemplast Sanmar at Karaikal was awarded the 1st prize at the 16th Annual Flower Show held here. Experts from the Agriculture Department and the Karaikal College of Agriculture, adjudged Chemplast Sanmar’s spread of green around their plant as the best in the “Industrial Garden” category. The annual event recognizes individuals, households, farmers and industries for their efforts at greening their surroundings.

Speaking about the challenges towards this success, S Palaniappan, Plant Head, Karaikal explained that the main difficulty was in working with the salty soil, especially since the tsunami. “While Karaikal is an agricultural belt, the soil in Keezhavanjoor is salty post-tsunami.  The judges were able to appreciate the additional efforts that have gone in, to set up and maintain the garden.”

The Karaikal plant of Chemplast, which has a green belt of over 16 acres, also houses over 3500 trees. The support and active participation of the local community, has helped in the process. Chemplast acknowledges the support of the local community and traditional know-how with the organization’s will and inclination towards the cause of environment, which has helped in the task of dealing with a difficult terrain.  The casuarinas and Korean grass, a welcome sight at the plant, are testimony to these efforts.

Chemplast has won this recognition from the Puducherry Government, several times in the past few years. This is the 7th time that they are receiving an award in this category.

Resolving pest issues in food areas

US 22nd November 2010th _Imagine you are eating foie gras, caviar, some nice medium rare steak and some delicious wine to wash everything out, somewhere within the depths of the restaurants; little critters are having their very own feast. Restaurants and food establishments work with food all the time. Food is an organic product. We need food to live. The thing is that we are not the only ones lining up for the treats. Rats, cockroaches, ants’ flies and other kinds of pests could be lurking on the kitchen or the main restaurant hall. In a place like New York where food establishments are very massive industries, it is possible that there will be some kind of threat with the pests.

From Chinches de cama to ants, pests can show up in a restaurant kitchen that is not tidy and is not sanitary. It is the role of food places to ensure that the kitchen and the counters up to the last square inch of space from floor to ceiling are clean so that it will not attract insects and prevent them from populating the area. Food establishments would often time stock up on food. It is necessary since they need spices and other kinds of food stuff. It is important to keep them sealed and protected against any foreign intruders. This will seal the freshness and of course this will protect your investment since food prices are all raising, you would not want to waste any ingredients because of some pest loitering in your food containment units.

What if there is an infestation? What if there is something out there that is trying to eat with you and taking your food that you have worked hard to cook? In restaurants and even in regular home kitchens, when you see a pest, it is necessary to call experts as soon as possible. Getting exterminador Nueva York is necessary. Pest control is not just killing them. It is the proper detection, proper eradication and proper disposal of the pests. From the first signs of infestation from ants to rats to Chinches de cama, calling experts will help you in recognizing the problem.

Think about it. They would not be able to come in the house without a certain opening. It could be an open door that allowed rats and mice to come in. it could be a crack on the wall where ants and cockroaches move across. There is always a logical reason how they got in and that is the business of the exterminador Nueva York. They detect and find areas not only the isolated areas where you saw them. Chances are there are more of them in places adjacent to you. They could be on the garbage bin just outside your door that is full or organic matter. That is like a signal for pests to feast around your home and consequently, go inside your home for more.

For restauranteurs and food service owners, you would not want to go to the fumigador Nueva York to eradicate the problem. This only means that you have a massive infestation and you know how bad it can strip off the quality of your business and consequently, it could render you without any customers left. That is how scary the pest problem could be.

Scaling Caused by Hard Water Can Be Prevented Without Using Environment Damaging Chemicals

The presence of calcium carbonate in water gives rise to the formation of a deposit of hard scale on surfaces particularly when water is heated. In dairies this is a severe problem where it forms on stainless steel and is required to be removed by using chemicals. These chemicals then have to be thoroughly rinsed off before equipment is reused to avoid contaminating the milk. Of course all the chemicals being rinsed off go into the drains and then into streams and rivers. But there is also another problem caused by the scale. In addition to being difficult to remove and reducing the efficiency of the plant presence of calcium provides a surface upon which protein matter can deposit and bacteria can then breed. This deposition is called milk stone.

Stainless steel is used for good reason in dairies because it is not prone to corrosion and has a very smooth surface… But Scale destroys all this and leads to the requirement to spend hours chemical cleaning and scouring.

Lalu Farms of Sparta Tennessee found a solution to this problem, one that was totally environment friendly and that saved hours on manpower, eliminated chemicals and reduced the risk of bacterial contamination.

By installing a Scaletron catalytic water conditioner manufactured by Fluid Dynamics International they were able to neutralise the calcium carbonate in the water so that it did not form a hard scale and did not stick to the pipework or other stainless steel surfaces. The end result as the owners of the dairy say in their report is that they “saved huge amounts of chemicals and tons of man hours and considerable amounts of money”. Milk stone has been totally eliminated since the installation of the Scaletron Catalytic conditioner that treats all the water coming from a well with 400ppm of hardness.

The Scaletron works by imparting a small electrical charge into the water and this affects the calcium carbonate in such a way that it does not form a hard scale. The technology developed by Fluid Dynamics is used worldwide in the food industry, engineering, motor manufacturing and buildings. Clients range from Unilever to Honda and from the City Mall in Jordan to the Kempinski Hotel in Dubai and include Cambridge University in England. Simply installed in the pipework the product requires no maintenance and has no moving parts. Over 250,000 are installed worldwide.
