Safety Considerations for Pneumatic Pressure Testing
Message Message Safety Considerations for Pneumatic Pressure Testing Safety Considerations for Pneumatic Pressure Testing Published October 2023 Download (coming soon) Keywords Pneumatic Pressure Test Stored Energy Minimum Safe Distance Scaled Consequence Factor ASME PCC-2 Repair of Pressure Equipment and Piping Share Summary Pneumatic pressure testing poses a significant health and safety risk due to the stored energy of the test gas, especially on larger volume piping. This can affect the operations of clients or construction activities and should be considered when specifying pneumatic pressure tests. Safe distances for personnel are proscribed in ASME PCC-2 Repair of Pressure Equipment and Piping. Minimum safe distance is 30m (100ft) and increases with stored energy and risk of fragments being thrown. The safe distance can be reduced utilizing mitigation techniques included in ASME PCC-2. When specifying a pneumatic pressure test always consider stored energy and look to eliminate the need for the testing or substitute hydrostatic. Reducing the safe distance below 30m (100ft) should [...]
Incoming plant power distribution design and upgrades
Looking to expand your plant or replace aging infrastructure? We work with you to ensure your power system is robust, safe, and reliable to help bring your process goals to reality. Through collaboration with process owners, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), local utility companies (LDCs), and other key stakeholders, our team can gather the appropriate data to model and simulate the behaviour of plant power systems to develop applicable equipment specifications to meet your process needs.
Coming clean about soapy wastewater treatment
What happens to soapy water after it goes down the drain? The events of the past two years have seen everyone keeping clean by thoroughly washing their hands and constantly rinsing with soapy water. But how do you clean the water that is used for cleaning? JNE Environmental was approached to solve this exact problem.
Automatic Foam Detection and Suppression in Wastewater Systems
JNE Environmental was contracted by a soap manufacturer in the Toronto area to design and build a foam detection sensor package to enhance foam suppression measures within their plant. This new sensor package, capable of measuring foam height, automatically deploys water spray and anti-foam suppression measures when a specific height of foam accumulation is detected.

JNE at the OSPE Engineering Conference 2022
Representatives of the JNE Group of Companies attended the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE) Engineering Conference in Ottawa, Ontario on November 3, 2022. The event, Canada's largest forum for engineering, diversity, and recruitment, was a fantastic opportunity to connect with young professionals, students, and subject matter experts in the engineering industry.
Made in Canada: New Coagulants for Improved Wastewater Treatment Chemistry
JNE Environmental is excited to announce the development of our very own line of engineered wastewater treatment coagulants manufactured in-house with both Canadian and internationally sourced raw feedstocks.
Cheesy Wastewater Treatment
JNE Environmental was recently approached to investigate performance issues with a Southern Ontario cheese manufacturer’s wastewater pH correction system. Their existing system was not adequately meeting sewer discharge limits and thus a more capable system was required to achieve compliance.
