Free Webinar Addresses HP Waterjet Waste

Tuesday, February 15, 2011

More items for Surface Preparation

Containment and disposal of High Pressure Waterjetting waste will be the focus of a free upcoming webinar presented by JPCL and SSPC.

"Containment and Disposal of Waste Water in UHP Operations" will be presented from 11 a.m. to noon EDT Feb. 22, as part of the SSPC/JPCL Education Series. Registration is free.

High Pressure Waterjetting (HPWJ) and Ultra High Waterjetting (UHPWJ) are becoming more common in industrial painting for surface preparation of steel and removal of coatings containing lead and other heavy metals.

Application of waterjetting for preparation of steel surfaces with coatings that contain toxic metals carries the same waste-management responsibilities as abrasive blast cleaning.

This webinar will present current management practices for the containment and disposal of HPWJ and UHPWJ generated waste.

The presenter will be Richard Burgess, Senior Consultant, KTA-Tator Inc. of Pittsburgh.

The webinar is sponsored by NLB Corp., manufacturer of HP and UHP water jet systems.
