Hazardous Waste Disposal

Hazardous waste is found in many areas of work, the main sector being (but not limited to) the medical and care industry, businesses such as factories, and car body shops as they use many types of paints and adhesives. All waste must be separated at the time of use, and non-hazardous waste must not be mixed as this can cause harm to the environment, animals and humans. How waste is disposed of is an important factor with laws and regulations that surround this process. Failure to comply with these laws could face prosecution.

Types of hazardous waste include:

  • Hazardous containers
  • Fridges
  • Solvents
  • Asbestos
  • Chemical waste such as brake fluid or vehicle oil
  • Pesticides
  • Batteries

All flammable, corrosive, and toxic waste also fall under the hazardous waste category and must be disposed of correctly.

How do I dispose of hazardous waste? 

The disposal of hazardous waste is important and can cause confusion if trying to do this yourself. Although local recycling centres do accept hazardous waste some rules must be followed, this type of waste has to be booked prior to your arrival and there is a limit to the amount you can take. A more convenient option is to arrange a hazardous waste company to collect and dispose of the waste for you. Many local companies can complete this as a one-off collection or a monthly, quarterly and yearly service.

All specialised companies must hold the relevant licenses and environmental permits to enable them to store, carry and safely dispose of any hazardous waste. There are a few items of waste that can be recycled. These include:

  • Cleaning fluids
  • Oil-based paints
  • Butane tanks
  • Batteries
  • Fluorescent light tubing

However, these can still be collected and will be transported and recycled by the waste disposal company.

Documents will then be provided as a receipt that the work was completed correctly. These documents must be stored for 3 years following the hazardous waste disposal service.

Restructuring and Insolvency

As many companies find out running a business is hard, there are many challenges that you can be faced with as a business owner. Financial difficulties due to unexpected events, new competitors, and economic downturns can all contribute to this.

So, restructuring and Insolvency can both be things that unfortunately have to be investigated.

Restructuring and Insolvency is a procedure that lawyers can investigate and act on behalf of their clients when a company is in financial difficulty. The restructuring will usually be the first step in the process, an agreement should try and be agreed with creditors to manage repayments, the next step will be insolvency, this is when a company, unfortunately, cannot pay the debts that they owe.

There are a few things that you need to do if your company is facing restructuring and insolvency is

  1. Contact all your creditors to see if an informal agreement can be reached.
  2. Put the company into administration
  3. Enter a company voluntary arrangement

You can also have the option to liquidate your company, this means the company will close and the assets from it will be sold and the proceeds will be distributed to people that are owed money.

The United Kingdom has an insolvency law that regulates companies that are unable to pay their debts. A bankruptcy law concerns the rules for the person, an insolvency term is generally used for companies that are formed under the companies act 2006. The word Insolvency basically just means being unable to pay any debts that you may owe.

Restructuring and Insolvency is a complex business, and we recommend that you seek legal advice with this matter, a good lawyer or legal team will be able to help you with the whole procedure.

Industrial Magnets

There is a huge demand for industrial magnets, the most frequently used industrial magnets are those that are made from neodymium and samarium cobalt, people also call these rare earth magnets, there are other types of magnets such as alnico magnets, electromagnets, and ferrite magnets.

Industrial magnets work by an attractive field that is generated by a coil that realigns the atoms in the metalcore. The tighter the coil and the material used inside the metal core will define how the device works and its power. The bigger these are the better the magnetic ability.

Industrial magnets are essential in lots of industries and make many work processes easier. In the mining industry industrial magnets are used to separate the gold pieces from the metal. In the pharmaceutical industry, they are used to remove iron particles in the production chain. Many magnets are used within the automotive industry, and in airports and big industrial warehouses.

Industrial

Neodymium magnets are the most powerful and strong magnets, they offer great holding force.

Samarium cobalt magnets are a magnet that offers some resistance to very high temperatures.

Alnico magnets are perfect for working as high-temperature magnets, they can withstand more than 400 degrees Celsius.

Electromagnets need electrical energy to work but can be automatically activated (these are used in escalators or automatic doors)

Ferrite magnets are perfect magnets to be used outdoors, they offer great resistance to humidity caused by the outdoor environment.

Industrial magnets are used in many different sectors, we suggest if you are not sure which magnet is needed for the job you require you contact a specialist industrial magnet manufacturer, and they will be able to specify your exact needs and advise you on the perfect magnet that will suit that.

Birmingham Welding

A wide variety of metal fabrication projects requires welding services. However, there are so many different methods of Birmingham welding, it can be hard to determine which method is best. The main two types are MIG and TIG welding.

Welding Services Birmingham

MIG welding (metal inert gas) is where a metal wire is continuously put into the weld. The weld acts as a filler to help join two metal objects together. MIG welding is ideal for larger projects, it is more forgiving of mistakes compared to TIG welding. As MIG welding uses a filler material, it can often help complete welds of thicker metals in less time than a TIG weld.

TIG welding (tungsten inert gas) incorporates a tungsten electrode which lets a current through the metals being joined together. TIG is applied in both the welding of ferrous and non-ferrous metals with a range of thickness, that doesn’t exceed 8mm. Because this process is slower, high-quality welding is produced with the perfect definition in aluminium, carbon steel and stainless steel.

TIG welding is best suited with smaller projects including more-exotic metals such as gold, nickel, and brass. TIG welding requires precise control over the timing and pressure of the electric current. It is easier to use with thinner pieces of metal as the welding must be hot enough to form a bond together.
