UPS - The heart of the systemBy Ian Bitterlin , International Sales Director for ChloridePublished: 29 May, 2008Lead-acid accumulators are amongst the earliest examples of electrical technology and remain as one of only two electrical devices that cannot be isolated. Over 90% of the worlds' UPS population is supported by lead-acid batteries and dominated in Europe by Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) technology. However, despite their long and largely unchanged technological heritage, VRLA battery technology, which was established, predominately in the 1990s, has a chequered reputation of indefinable lifespan and questionable reliability.
Water Treatment - Hidden dangers in water systemsUK outbreaks of Legionnaires Disease have risen sharply in recent years (The Health Protection Agency reports 163 cases during the first half of 2007, compared with 120 cases the year before and 103 cases in the same period in 2005). Ralph Coney, a Director of GB Environmental, discusses the possible sources of Legionella infection and outlines a water treatment solution that his company has designed specifically to tackle the threat of Legionella and other water-borne pathogens in water supply systems.Published: 29 May, 2008Schools and colleges
Traditionally school water tanks were designed to hold a day's supply of water, but in those days a higher volume of water was used in the preparation of school dinners and shower facilities after field sports. Today, the same schools use a lot less water and so the water level in the tank moves very little, remaining stagnant for some time, which provides optimum conditions for the development of Legionella.
