Dehumidifiers help frozen food factory combat moisture problems after daily wash downs

In the food manufacturing industry, ensuring product safety, and adhering to stringent regulations is of utmost importance. The Ore-Ida plant, known for its production of frozen foods like the popular Bagel Bites, tater tots and frozen french fries, faced a recurring challenge with condensation during their production process. However, by embracing the concept of desiccant dehumidification, Ore-Ida discovered an effective solution that not only reduced fog and condensation but also improved overall operating efficiency.

Lock coating with lead abatement and climate control

The Okeechobee Inland Waterway connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Gulf of Mexico, allowing boats to pass through Florida from the city of Stuart on the east coast through Lake Okeechobee to Fort Myers on the west. Along this 152-mile waterway are five locks, which allow the vessels traveling through to ascend as much as 13 feet at a single lift. Along with navigation, the waterway has been built to provide Florida citizens with multiple benefits of reduced flood damage, environmental protection, and recreation.

Water disaster at LA Courthouse

Experts estimated that nearly one million gallons of water gushed out of a broken water main and across the first floor of the Los Angeles Federal Courthouse before it found its way to the building’s basement. When the flooding stopped, much of the first-floor office space was severely damaged and the 70,000-square-foot basement had four feet of standing water. Lower locations, such as the elevator shaft and the building power vault, had much deeper water. To make matters worse, the flood-damaged power vault housed transformers that supplied power to the city for blocks around.
