For this case study we'll be looking at the needs of a client within the infrastructure construction sector, and the challenges faced with boring tunnels and bentonite.

They needed a unit to undertake testing of various blends of battery slurry coatings and perform experiments with the ability to not only control how much material was applied to films, but also ensure a wide range of high viscosity mixtures could be handled utilizing differing blends of chemicals.

We were approached by one of the World leading technical consultancies to the oil and gas industry with a unique requirement. They supply technical advice and services for all upstream operations, including onshore and offshore oil and gas exploration, production, delivery, storage, and processing. One of their processes involves coating the insides of pipework with a hot wax and sand mixture, normally 5 to 10% concentration. They heat the wax in a large tank to 70°C to lower the viscosity enou...

Ceramic slurry has been an important part of our history, for centuries we have used this clay slurry to create pottery and moulds for other materials such as metal, plastic, and rubber. Also referred to as slip, Barbatine and slip casting, this mixture is poured into a mould and heat is applied to harden it, either for a mould to create other items like tools or to create pottery, for example plates and cups.
