INS-CS-0035 Leak Detection by Groundwater Monitoring

Hydrocarbon leakage, from Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) and from the bottoms of aboveground tanks, can seep into the groundwater, where it forms a floating oil sheen, growing to a thick oil layer over time. This layer, if left undetected, will eventually dissolve and cause severe damage to water quality.

INS-CS-0034 Groundwater Remediation

The unique capabilities of the Leakwise Oil on Water Monitoring Systems enable remote measurement of oil presence for: Site assessments, Recovery wells and remediation systems, Well closures. The data can be transmitted to remote data loggers or computers via local wired processor or via satellites, cellular, or point-to-point wireless communications.

INS-CS-0033 Above Ground Oil Storage Tanks

Leakwise Oil Spill and Leak Detection systems are installed in many oil/fuel storage facilities all over the world. The systems are being used in a variety of applications to address health and safety directives, environmental regulations and economic necessity.

INS-CS-0020 Desalter Interface Control

It is all too easy to forget that the primary function of the desalting system is the removal of inorganic chlorides and other water-soluble compounds from crude oil. One need not be a corrosion specialist to realize the acids that form from these compounds can do tremendous, long-term damage in downstream processes of the refinery (as the inspection of crude tower overhead condensers can prove).

MAT-CS-0002 Polaris

This purpose of this vehicle is primarily as a light weight personnel carrier that can be rapidly deployed on rail and used for rail inspection. With rail in good condition, it can get to the job site very quickly at 60km/hr.

MAT-CS-0001 Unique Scania Rail Truck Design (1)

HMA Materials Handling designs and builds a unique package for Scania. The rail truck is to be deployed by the rail infrastructure unit within the Department of Planning Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI) in South Australia.

WEA-CS-0035 Cobre Panama project

HMA Wear Solutions has collaborated with design engineering company Lycopodium on the ceramic piping specification for the Cobre Panama project by First Quantum Minerals Ltd. of Canada. This $6.3 billion copper project is anticipated to be one of the few new ‘red metal’ mines to enter production by the end of the decade.

WEA-CS-0001 Classification Cyclones

A cluster of four 380mm De-watering Cyclones were sent in to HMA for refurbishment. They were originally lined with 12mm alumina tiles.

INS-NCS-0008 Phenol In Water

A plant located in the eastern United States manufactures phenolic resin for applications in plastics molding. This plant uses well water for cooling its reaction process and then discharges the water into a local creek.

INS-NCS-0008 Oil In Cooling Water

A municipal power plant in the southern United States operates more than 10 stationary power plant engines capable of producing 52 megawatts of electric power. The plant is part of a larger statewide power grid system.
