How embossing impacts toilet tissue aesthetics and consumer buying behavior

The origins of toilet tissue embossing are rooted in practically. The three-dimensional patterns increase surface area and liquid absorbency of the tissue, and also keep multiple plies from peeling apart.

The time to act is now

Climate change mitigation is a challenge we all need to consider in our actions. The recently published IPCC Climate Change Mitigation report paints a grim picture. Unless emissions are reduced immediately and deeply across all sectors, limiting global warming to 1.5 °C will be beyond our reach. On the other hand, the report showed we have options in all sectors to at least halve emissions by 2030.    

Validated processes and competency enable long-term, safe operation of oxygen service valves

Oxygen service valves operate in one of the process industry’s most hazardous environments. Oxygen is not flammable but supports and accelerates combustion. This means that oxygen service valves need to be designed, manufactured, tested and maintained to prevent this by mitigating the ignition source and contact with fuel. This article focuses mainly on cleaning, inspection methods and guidance on packaging, storage, installation, operation, and maintenance.

Reliable operations secured at Michigan Sugar with Flowrox™ valves and pumps

It is obvious that for the process to work efficiently and without problems, it is necessary to choose the right equipment in the right places for the process. This once again proved to be true, when Michigan Sugar was facing problems with valves in a well-oiled, meticulous system that was getting jammed up by a simple cast-iron butterfly valve. Another problem they faced was with pumping calcium. The plates of the pump were wearing out too fast and the costs were thus unbearable.
