Oxidizers And Green Cars

Posted on April 20, 2012 by nicolet

The number of people looking for more fuel efficient and environmentally safe cars is constantly rising. With gas prices skyrocketing and the threat of global warming waving above our heads, people are finally being forced to take action. People want to save money in gas and help save the environment; it is no longer solely about having the “sweetest” looking and fastest car available. While The Fast and the Furious may always be a dream for many, it is no longer realistic for the majority. Since 1968, when national regulations on emissions became increasingly strict on cars, the industry has been trying to find the most environmentally safe options possible. The method to achieve this cleaner air is oxidizers, and they are being perfected everyday, the resulting in more efficient products. Continue reading →

IQS Newsroom Featured Profile: Ultra-Flow, Inc.

Posted on October 25, 2010 by Breana Cronk

In 1992 a technical sales agency under the name of Quality Air Management began serving industry with dust collectors and accessories. It soon became evident that the provision of standard systems was not enough for consumers’ constant demands for the most advanced pollution control equipment to parallel rapidly developing applications. By 2003 QAM changed its name to Ultra-Flow Inc. and changed its focus to the design and manufacture of advanced dust collection systems and innovative accessories previously unavailable. Though successful in its former role, the Ultra-Flow has since become an industry leader in the development of new dust collection equipment. As technology is often revolutionized much faster and with more frequency than many applications can afford, the Ultra-Flow team also retrofits existing systems for improved efficiency and effectiveness. In these ways and more Ultra-Flow has not only grown as a business, but is responsible for much of the growth in the industry at large. Continue reading →

GREEN WEEK Environmental Regulations: What Manufacturers Should Expect in the Next Decade

Posted on April 21, 2010 by Todd Halt

As you’ve probably noticed, environmental regulations in this country have been getting tighter. Due to a high degree of waste and pollution in the manufacturing process, the green movement is affecting us first and foremost. Within the past decade, the dangers of global warming and greenhouse gas emissions have transformed from hear-say to a huge, pressing problem that is impossible to ignore. The changes and restrictions in recent years and those that are soon to come will change every US industry, whether they like it or not. Regardless of the high cost and struggles it is likely to cause, green manufacturing is no longer just an option. The manufacturing sector wastes energy, pollutes our air and water, and generates mass quantities of solid, liquid and gaseous waste. Continue reading →

Posted on December 3, 2009 by Todd Halt

Carbon fiber and graphite reinforced polymers are materials that have, and will continue to revolutionize the products we use everyday by making them stronger, lighter and more durable. However, the manufacturing process can have serious environmental ramifications and immediate danger to human health if careful consideration is not given to emission control at the production phase of these materials.
