The NGT on May 14 expressed its displeasure at the delay by the West Bengal government in submitting the report on introduction of Zig Zag technology for brick kilns in the state and gave two months more time for furnishing the report and said that failure to do so would lead to coercive action including payment of heavy penalty.

After the Tedx talk, and his subsequent decision to drop out of university, Slat taught himself more about ocean plastic, oceanography, and engineering. He is the only member of his research team who does not have an advanced degree. But, according to Arjen Tjallema, the technology manager, he keeps pace. Rick Spinrad, one of the members of the Ocean Cleanup scientific advisory board, and, until 2016, the chief scientist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, recalled having been skeptical when he first met Slat, in 2016: “I started asking more technical questions, on windage and the relative velocity of plastic particles, on what physical oceanographic models he was considering using. His answers were sophisticated, savvy, and quite candid. When he did not have the tech answer, he certainly knew how to get that answer. It was obvious to me that he had been talking with the right folks.” The list included scientists at the Delft University of Technology and at the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research.

In regards to the boom and arm assembly, the boom is a two-piece boom that is adjustable to accommodate both physical site limitations as well as lifting capabilities. By adjusting the boom, the load can be picked and carried much closer to the machine’s center of gravity. While almost every manufacturer offers a two-piece boom, the way in which the Liebherr is hinged is different from others. Instead of connecting the boom cylinders to the hinge point itself, which is the weak point of the system, the cylinders are connected to their own separate position on the boom, allowing for maximum lifting capabilities.

Gnat Nix is a pelleted product made out of recycled glass and intended to stop fungus gnats from breeding in houseplant soil.

Maynilad’s Dagat-Dagatan Sewage and Septage Treatment Plant in Caloocan and Tondo Sewage Pump facility also hold international standard accreditations on Quality, Environmental, and Occupational Safety and Health Management. Maynilad also has an STP in Project 7, Quezon City and in Pamplona, Las Piñas designed to treat wastewater collected from the septic tanks of Maynilad customers from the north and the south, respectively – which can treat up to 250 cubic meters of septage per day.

Hoenderdos estimates rolling benches allow up to 90 percent space utilization versus 60 percent for fixed tables.

Getting another contractor to do part of the work adds to the complexity, he says. “You can end up having conflicts of equipment and operators and trucks; whereas, when it’s in-house, it’s an operation they do with their crews.”

IBC tote wicking beds — each tote makes two — aren’t all that complicated to build, and much of the rest of the materials can likely be sourced secondhand in reclamation shops, such as Habitat for Humanity Restores. Besides the tote itself, making each bed will require:

While predicting a rise in case of acute diarrhoea, enteric fever, viral hepatitis and cholera, the NGT has said responsibility needs to be fixed so an epidemic can be prevented.

Infiltrator says its team built three of the world’s largest injection molding machines in-house to produce some of the largest injection molded parts in the world.

Raed Al Nuaimi, group chief executive officer of Dubai Properties, said, “As one of the top 20 happiest countries in the world and the happiest in the Arab region, according to the World Happiness Report 2018, the UAE is a keen supporter of sustainable living environments that are known to enhance the quality of life and elevate happiness levels.”

Though, the importance of the geotextiles is on the rise globally, as synthetic geotextiles are petrochemical based products, they cause carbon emissions, due to stringent government regulations to reduce the carbon footprint, the growth in the global geotextile market is inhibited.
