Brampton, Ontario - Custom Thermal Applications Inc., a global provider of industrial High Volume Process Water Heating solutions, was contracted to implement an upgrade of the high volume water heating system at a leading meat processing company that improved water temperature control and process demands mandated by increased volumes of sanitation hot water.

The upgrade incorporated Custom Thermal Applications' QuikWater Direct Contact Water Heater thereby: Increasing sanitation hot water capacity Reducing sanitation times Increasing sanitation effectiveness while substantially reducing the energy requirements needed to heat the water

Custom Thermal Applications designed the new system application for the client's 24/7 business operation by integrating with the old, so that - in the event of emergencies there could be a quick switch-over to a back-up system (even though it is dated and is no longer performing to the customer's high standards).

The project required Custom Thermal Applications to design, install and test new systems and modifications for gas, air, water, pumps and control panels.

The new QuikWater provides: Greater water heating capacity an output of 272 USGPM heating the water from 2C(35F) to 63C(145F) Dramatically increased fuel efficiency from about 65% to 70% for the old steam/heat exchanger system to 99% for the QuikWater. This qualified the client for a rebate from the gas company. Steady output water temperature even during fluctuating or peak plant demands for hot water.

QuikWater Direct Contact Water Heaters operating on gas or propane have no tubes separating the water from the combustion gases. The water passes directly through the combustion gases and this "Direct Contact" results in rapid transfer of heat from the combustion gases to the water.

The water is heated from as low at 0C (32F) to as high as 93C (200F) in a single pass. Water quality is actually improved (potable in means potable out) and the resultant thermal efficiency is 99% (for the standard units heating to 82C (180F) or 98% for the QuikWater MegahHeater which heats to 93C (200F).

Emissions are correspondingly low and the exhaust leaves the heater at only 6C (10F) above the inlet water temperature.

Saline County Health Department employees received good news and bad news Tuesday morning.

The good news was a favorable decision by county commissioners on workers' sick-leave policy. The bad news, at least for those housed in the former Rema Bakeware facility on East North Street, was showing up for work after a three-day weekend and finding several inches of water on the floor from a burst water heater.

Back to the good news.

Sick leave bank

In action that Commissioner John Price termed "crazy generous," county health department workers who had at least five years of service with the former city-county department at the end of 2013 and who were paid for a third of their accrued sick leave now will have the other two-thirds placed in a "time bank" for use after exhausting sick leave accrued beginning Jan. 1, when their services were absorbed into Saline County.

The sick-leave issue had been hanging for some months, and commissioners wanted staff to hash out tax, legal and bargaining issues that might be associated with sick-leave adjustments.

During their study session before their official 11 a.m. meeting, commissioners heard from Human Resources Director Marilyn Leamer.

"The hours would be put into a sick-leave credit," Leamer said. "Those hours would be made available to that employee."

She used a hypothetical example of an employee with 1,500 hours of accrued sick leave who was paid for a third of those hours, in accordance with Salina-Saline County Health Department policy, leaving 1,000 hours.

(WPRI) Numerous volunteers helped in their communities on Tuesday, donating their time and effort to shovel out elderly and disabled residents.

More than 115 residents in and around the capital city asked for help shoveling outside of their homes after almost one foot of snow was dumped in the area.

On Tuesday, 29 Serve Rhode Island volunteers helped to shovel out driveways, walkways and steps for 65 residents. One volunteer took on six shoveling jobs, while several took on three or more volunteer assignments.

According to Serve Rhode Island, 30 residents are still in need of snow removal. Some volunteers who couldnt take assignments on Tuesday will plan on snow clean up Wednesday.

Volunteer Jon Marland told Eyewitness News that his goal is to pay it forward.

"Somewhere down the road, I'm going to need the same thing and maybe people will come to my house and be able to thank me when I need it, he said.

Theres nothing funny about falls Fort Belvoir Installation Safety Office/News release Belvoir Eagle |

Slips, trips, and falls have been a sure way to get a laugh in many cultures over the years. Human beings have been falling over their own feet ever since they first began to walk. However, except in slapstick comedy, falls are simply not funny. In fact, the subject of falls is extremely serious. Did you know that falls are one of the top leading causes of accidental deaths? In case you are thinking that falls are only a danger to people who work on scaffolds and steel girders up in the sky, think again. Most falls actually occur on the same level and are caused by just tripping over an obstacle or slipping on something.

Here are some ways to prevent falls:

Falls are a hazard at work any time of the year. But winter weather adds a greater element of danger:
