Benefits and Applications of Cogent Plant Projects
Leave a CommentCogeneration or Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is the simultaneous generation of electricity and other energy together, most often through an electrical generator to produce usable heat. More thermally efficient in using fuel than standard energy production, which results solely in unusable process heat, cogeneration better utilizes its resultant thermal energy in addition to the […]

Earth Day Update: Base Construction Works to Eliminate Wastewater Across All Industries
Leave a CommentWhat is Wastewater? Before we can create a construction solution, we need to know the origin of the problem. Wastewater is a by-product of domestic, commercial, industrial or agricultural activities that rely on or use water in any capacity. This puts the responsibility of preventing wastewater leakage squarely on the shoulders of all industries, sectors, […]
