Around the home, at the office and on job sites—no matter where you are, it’s important for you to practice good electrical safety to prevent accidents and outages from occurring. Here are just a few important electrical safety tips in Carlsbad, NM for you to remember at all times: Practice good cord safety: You should always be mindful of power cords and extension cords. Keep in mind that extension cords are only designed for short-term use—they should not be a permanent fixture in your electrical system. Make sure to keep cords away from pets, and never use cords that appear... View Article
It is important for workers at oil fields to engage in regular inspection and maintenance of all equipment on site, and to make sure the operation is running safely and smoothly. This means, in part, taking proper measurements of oil production. On some days, the oil will be producing in greater volume than on others. For the most part, production will be steady, with these individual rises and falls being rather negligible over the long term. However, if you suddenly see a significant difference in yield, this could be a sign of a problem in your production that needs to... View Article
There are many different excavation processes used in construction and industrial settings, and the choice of method depends on the type of project. One such method is hydrovacing, which is the process of extracting or moving ground with pressurized water instead of with diggers. That ground and debris gets transferred through a vacuum or air conveyance to a debris tank. The idea is to create a safer, less destructive method of excavating soil to find or place underground utilities. This method of excavation has grown in popularity in recent years, and that growth in popularity really started in the oil... View Article
Crude oil is what remains after natural gas is extracted from the fluid pumped out of a well. It includes substances such as oil, paraffin (and other petroleum products) and water. In a tank battery, the crude oil system and lines are everything that exist after the separator, which includes the heater-treaters, stock tanks and various other types of tanks and lines. When setting up a tank battery for any industrial operation you have underway, you need to understand the way crude oil flows through a tank battery in Carlsbad, NM, as well as the various standards and regulations associated...

An arc flash is a type of electric discharge through the air from one voltage phase to the ground or to another voltage phase. This unwanted discharge creates a sudden rapid rise in air temperature and pressure between the conductors, which can result in an explosion referred to as an “arc blast.” The heat combined with these blasts can cause fires and flying shrapnel that can be extremely dangerous to bystanders, and cause significant property damage. In many cases, there is little to know warning of these explosions, and they can completely destroy electrical equipment. Therefore, it’s important to understand... View Article
