A food processing plant in Maracaibo, Venezuela has seen significant benefits following the installation of Hydropaths patented AquaKlear system. Previously, the plant experienced scale and bio-fouling problems in its cooling towers as it is located in a hard water area. This resulted in the management using costly anti-scale chemicals to eliminate the effects.
The solution to this problem was the introduction of the AquaKlear P120 unit. Two clean cooling towers were used to trial the technology, to allow a fair comparison. During the initial stage, cooling tower 1 continued using anti-scale chemicals to remove limescale deposits and the results were recorded. During the second stage the plant ceased using chemicals, and the AquaKlear unit was installed. Cooling tower 2 provided the

The new Draeger X-plore 6000 range of Full Face Masks combines quality and reliability with comfort and ease of use. As successors to the popular Panorama Nova Standard threaded mask, this economical range is available in five different versions and features an integral bar code and a variety of fresh new colours. Ideal for use in any application requiring reliable respiratory protection and clear vision, the masks are fully compatible with all Rd40 standard thread filters, as well as powered air purifying respirators and normal pressure compressed air breathing apparatus.
The new integral barcode means that not only is the mask uniquely identifiable and, therefore, more hygienic in use, but it can also be easily tracked for inventory and maintenance purposes. Available in one universal size and featuring a triple sealing action, the X-plore 6000 range also benefits from a double-layered face seal to offer the highest possible protection for every type of face.
The Huge Instantaneous Impact on Your Business of Defect Cost and Failure Cost. When a failure incident occurs there is a consequential loss of profits and a massing of costs. The cost of failure includes lost profit, the cost of the repair, the fixed and variable operating costs wasted during the downtime and a myriad of consequential costs that reverberate and surge through the business. These are all paid for by the organisation and seen as poor financial performance. The costs of failure cannot be escaped and are counted in millions of dollars of lost profit per year. Total defect and failure true costs are not normally recognised by managers, yet they can send businesses bankrupt. In the instance of a failure all its costs and losses are automatically incurred on the business. These costs can only be prevented by precluding the failure in the first place. This article explains the 'instantaneous cost of failure' (ICOF) and introduces a proactive technique, 'Defect and Failure True Costing', that adds economics to RCM and FMEA to help companies recognise and prevent this tremendous waste of money.
The Cost of Failure to a Business
When a business operates it expends fixed and variable costs to make a product which it sells for a profit. Figure 1 is graphical representations of a business in operation. The business produces a product that requires an input of costs which it sells to pay for them and make a profit.
