Case Study 42 – Removing Iron Stains

Case Study 42 – Removing  those  ugly iron stains

Bore water that contains iron bacteria and rusty metal create a ugly stain build up over time.

The only way we have found to remove this is by using X-FE and X-FE Forte, We have had customers who come back regularly to purchase regularly and when the repurchase they have all stated the same comment, it is the only stain removal that works and it’s guarantied.

One of our customers came in very upset he had accidently put the sprinklers on and allowed it to spray onto the clean light brown sand stone bricks on their new home, when the wife came home she found all these ugly stains on the bricks and immediately hit the roof, The husband purchased our iron stain removal and went home to clean the bricks, it was the only product that would do the job satisfactory.

XE will remove stains such as ceramic tiles, porcelain, outdoor furniture, boats and other non porous surfaces.  Plus we guarantee this product.

We cannot find a better product on the market.

But I Noticed Something Interesting

Recently I had a someone come to paint my house. His work looks great.

He was very neat and  had a very steady hand so all the
corners looked great.
 
But I noticed something interesting.  He did NO preparation work.

I remember when my mum did the painting, she cleaned the surface to
be painted and then removed any loose flakes and sanded.

Next came the primer, undercoat and then a couple of top coats.
 
The main difference is that my mum was preparing the foundation for a
successful and lasting job.
 
This applies to you and me in life. Unless we prepare a strong
foundation such as education etc. we may not have a strong future.
 
The leaning tower of Piza clearly did not have a strong foundation.
 
Here at Deps I started building a strong foundation  immediately as
I knew we needed to grow and be strong.

This was done by having strong ideals and ensuring everything that
was done was heading towards our goals of making a stronger business,
so we could survive and look after our clients well into the future.
 
Are your foundations strong?

Case Study 41 – Water Bore Screen Velocity

Case study 41 – Water Bore Screen Velocity

There have been many tests and studies by various people looking at what happens when the water enters the sand screen in a bore.

The Aqua that the screen is placed in may have natural sands or a gravel pack may have to be constructed. The speed at which the water enters a PVC screen or a stainless vee –wire screen is called the Entrance Velocity; this is where many of the studies have looked at to see what happens at different entrance velocities.

What has been found is that for the optimal rate of a sand spear to keep the entrance velocity down and water turbulence to a minimum the so called perfect velocity is 0.03 meters per second.

In some of the studies there is talk about velocities of flows up to 0.07 MPS, but the optimum is 0.03M per second or 0.1 ft per second of flow. Johnson Screens or Weatherford also state in there documentation this rate.

If you need to calculate this velocity then we can help as Deps has designed a calculator to come up with this answer

We Take Responsibility

I hope you had a great Easter spending time with your family and friends.
I certainly did, especially spending time with the grandkids.

We were all riding push bikes, motor bikes, horse riding , going for
walks with the dog and a lot more.

On another note; yesterday I overheard someone saying they got
bashed by someone.

Unfortunately they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. The next
word was “ They should sue someone for allowing this to happen.”

What is it that many people think that it’s someone’s fault when things
go wrong?  The person who did the damage should pay, not the system or
government.

We have to take responsibility for our own actions, home, work or play.

We have tried hard to have the word “responsibility” built into the culture at
DEPS, to show you that we care, have pride and stand up for our responsibilities. 
Not just blame someone when something goes wrong.

In the unlikely event it does go wrong, you can be assured we will do our best to
fix it as quick as possible.

In 2012 we will even try harder in these areas, so we can offer you a better service.

Case Study 40 – Why use ABS Pipe?

Case Study 40 – Why use ABS pipe?

ABS pipe main attributes are –

1: The high impact strength compared to PVC pipe

2: Corrosion resistance

3: Size range

ABS which stands for Acrylonitrile Butadiene styrene has a huge impact strength compared to PVC, you can hit ABS with a sledge hammer and it will not shatter, you can drop it and it will not smash.

ABS is mainly used in the chemical field as it is highly resistant to many chemicals, if there are hydro carbons in the ground then ABS would be a better choice than PVC as PVC breaks down when coming in contact with Hydro Carbons.

With the larger range that ABS is manufactured, larger bores of up to 750mm can be installed, PVC is mainly 375mm dia max.

ABS pipe can be joined together in a couple of ways; it can be glued together using standard couplings. Note – Special ABS glue has to be used, or it can be threaded – male and female flush threaded – this gives it instant strength, and on many projects in Queensland we have machined a flush taper joint that is glued and then a couple of stainless screws are screwed in to obtain instant strength so the pipe can be lowered  continuously.

ABS can be slotted in the same patterns as PVC pipe, but cannot be slotted in the finer slots as we have to use special blades for ABS pipe.
