Benetech, Inc. Dust-control Systems Give Bulk Material Handlers Greater Command of Fugitive Dust
Benetech’s focus has been advising bulk material handlers on dust collection, containment and suppression for restricting fugitive dust that can endanger both plant personnel and the greater community. The airborne dust can be categorized as inhalable dust, respirable dust or combustible dust.
Aurora, IL (PRWEB) August 16, 2017
Benetech, Inc. is continuing to apply its research and development resources to dust-control solutions that establish material flow safety and a dust-free work environment for bulk material–handling companies.
A main area of Benetech’s focus has been advising bulk material handlers on dust collection, containment and suppression for restricting fugitive dust that can endanger both plant personnel and the greater community. The airborne dust can be categorized as inhalable dust, respirable dust or combustible dust.
Inhalable dust is larger, heavier particles that can often lodge in the nose, throat or upper respiratory tract. Respirable dust is smaller, finer particles that can make their way deeper into the lungs and respiratory system; they evade the body’s natural cleaning systems, such as mucous membranes. Combustible dust is flammable particles that can spontaneously ignite under the right conditions. All three forms of fugitive dust pose serious hazards to the safety of employees who work in dust-producing environments.
The amount of fugitive dust that collects in the air and on surfaces determines its degree of risk, and the threat is limited only by how far the dust can travel.
Beyond its risks to health and safety, fugitive airborne dust can result in damaged equipment, lost resources to correcting the dust problem, higher insurance expenses and costly regulatory penalties.
Benetech helps bulk material handlers control and remove fugitive dust from their material flow through:
Dust Collection – applying a mechanized, engineered process to remove fine airborne dust particles from the material-handling system
Dust Containment – restricting and reducing airborne dust with engineered transfer chute technology that draws less air into the transfer point; seals leaks where dust can escape; and controls the material from the head box to the tail pulley instead of letting it ‘free fall’ through the transfer system
Dust Suppression – applying a solution to the fugitive dust through a mechanized process that increases the surface tension of the water in the solution to better capture dust particles and return them to the main material flow
“Benetech is a dedicated partner in helping its customers strive to create a dust-free work environment,” said Benetech Vice President Paul Moran. “Our resources cover the dust-control spectrum from inspection doors that give easy access to hidden areas to belt support and containment that block the escape of fugitive dust. We also evaluate existing dust collection, containment and suppression systems and advise on any ways in which they need to be strengthened. This allows bulk material handlers to secure much safer working environments while achieving greater regulatory compliance.”
Benetech provides complete, performance-based solutions for dust mitigation and bulk material–handling systems. Its products, services and technologies reduce dust, prevent spillage, improve material flow and reinforce compliance. A partner in planning, engineering and operating dust-control and material-handling systems, Benetech helps companies assess challenges, establish priorities and achieve the results they require.

Live Report: Øya Festival 2017
Oslo event continues to impress, with The xx, Cashmere Cat and more standing out...From the club day scattered around Oslo’s many venues, to all eyes fixed on the bombastic finale in the Tøyenpark Amfi, *Øya Festival *offers a rare diversity of local up and comers alongside some of the most eminent artists that 2017 can offer.
The club day is an interesting affair. With gigs all over the city it seems impossible to catch even half of what you want to see, yet supergroup, *Imitating Aeroplanes* managed to stand out and impress, playing most of their forthcoming debut, ‘Planet Language’.
The pouring rain is certainly beneficial for anyone playing one of the few tent at Øya this Wednesday, and the poly rhythmic productions of electro-DJ *Umfang* please the soaked crowd who snuggles in the Hi-Fi tent this afternoon.
From one pulsating beat to the next. As the sky clears, Migos kicks up with the best intensions. Despite a stumbling start, the trio excels with a hit parade strong enough to, almost, make up for rough time management. Enthusiasm can reach a long way.
- - -
- - -
Trying conditions aside, even the weather seems to bow for the untouchable queen of the night. When *Lana Del Ray* sways the park into a daze of Hollywood glamour with a Twin Peak-esque vibe, it’s a moment of Øya magic. It’s in her darker territory that the vocal efforts thrives, and the distinct seductiveness is palpable on song like ‘Blue Jeans’. The cinematic live extravaganza offered a varied collection from her previous releases alongside tracks of her newest Lust For Live. As ‘Off To The Races’ rounds of the show, there is a stoic sense of melancholy and hope lingering long after the lights are out.
Thursday is off to a sunlit start as *Sigrid* takes to stage. Amazed by the meet up, the 20-year old gave everything as she twirled across the stage, backed by a solid effort from her live band. With fan favourites such as ‘Don’t Kill My Vibe’s anthem like, hard-hitting chorus, and the power drops of ‘Plot Twist’ Sigrid is well-equipped for a stunning show. Though her singalong tunes are the stars of the gig, it’s the yet to be released ones that takes the crowd by surprise. Proving she has way more up her sleeve, Sigrid elevates her live-show from merely a reconnect with familiar tunes, to a true experience of her artistic abilities.
Gazing over the hill by the Amfi stage, you cannot help but getting hit by the powerful juxtapose between the dazzling sunlight and the sludgy darker vibes of Feist’s music. Her fluid vocals lingers and draws every moment out into eternity, toying with the nonchalant crowd that thought they’d just ‘drop by’.
Having played the exact same stage in 2014, Øya is a welcome reunion for *Mac DeMarco*. With his absurd humour and slacker-rock, Demarco is almost disarmingly charming. Unleashing the full extent of his abilities as an entertainer, the Canadian singer’s slow vocals pierce through even the most oddball jokes. From fidget-spinning with crowd members onstage, to gleefully inaccurate covers of Vanessa Carlton’s ‘A Thousand Miles’, DeMarco’s sense of irony and spontaneousness is just as important elements of his live show as his intelligent lyrics and swaying melodies.
Though most acts seemed excited to play, no one was as overjoyed as Iffy Orbit. The Oslo outfit was voted in by their fans to play the festival, and seemingly had everything to give. Their funk-rooted indie took a turn of it’s own, dipping into a shoegazing dreamscape as the boys revealed material from their upcoming debut.
- - -
- - -
From the seductive lure of the intro, *The xx* owns the crowd. Bolder and more powerful than ever they dare to step out of their introverted space into a more experimental soundscape. There is still a lingering sense of escapism through their set, yet the rhythmic confidence peers through making The vulnerability in Romy Madley-Croft and Oliver Sim’s vocals. Contrasting ominous bass with intimate silence, the trio are unbeatable. The grand yet playful feel is all summed up as the coloured lights from ‘I See You’ hit ‘On Hold’ fades out, and Romy’s voices the end with breath-taking ‘Angles’. It’s a finale that stops time, capturing the essential power of The xx calibre delivered in the most simplistic manner.
Having barely shaken off the stunned feel *The xx *left us with Friday is off to a very Norwegian start, with native favourites such as Kaja Gunnufsen, Daniel Kvammen and Bergen rappers Hester V75 all performing.
The LA-based producer *Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith* plays the Hi-Fi tent with her underwater electro; by intertwining elements of jazz into the concoction, Smith stands out from the homogeneous DJ scene.
This certainly is the day for nostalgia, and with both The Shins and Pixies those indie rock are palpable as James Russell Mercer & Co. step up to the stage. The joyous set is filled with classics from the their first three releases. Though new tracks such as ‘Name For You’ and ‘Painting A Hole’ grace the set list, it’s clear that the crowd are all for nostalgia. Despite the hype, Angel Olsen seems untouchable at the Vindfruen stage this afternoon. The faded sunlight matches up with the slow mood of the gig. Olsen certainly possess a ballsy attitude and an impressive vocal and lyrical spectre there is a spark missing. Sharp lyrical wordplay is wrapped in sweet innocence and nostalgia, and her sharp charisma falls as she struggles to create a connection with her crowd.
*Pixies* finish off The Amfi for the evening, and there is certainly anticipation in the air. The 90’s legends stood as a beacon of enigmatic energy, but for an audience that expected the nostalgia that Pixies possess, the setlist might have been a disappointing affair. Though the technicality and musical effort is glittering, there is little to give as the band fails to connect with their core audience. The classics engage, but the overall feel seems to be alienation between the band and their fans.
As Friday closes out, we dive into the pink cloud that is* Cashmere Cat’s* set might seem like an odd ending after the stoic effort from Pixies. However, the mesmerizing EDM is as much for the dancing legends as it is an ode to the loner and the geeky outsider. The spacious melodic twists that Cashmere Cat grasps so cleverly is exactly the grand finale you didn’t even know you wanted.

ROBINHOOD COFOUNDER: Millennials are following one of the classic rules of investing
Sometimes the best opportunity to invest in a stock is when everyone else is selling and its price is declining. On Wall Street, this strategy is known as buying the dip. And it's popular because it allows investors to get into a trade at a discounted price. (It can also backfire of course. Just because a stock drops, doesn't mean it's going to go back up.)
That's exactly what investors using smartphone brokerage app, Robinhood, are doing, according to cofounder Baiju Bhatt.
During a wide-ranging interview with Business Insider, Bhatt said users of Robinhood, who skew younger, viewed a market downturn in the first quarter of 2016 as a buying opportunity.
Anxiety over the Chinese economy sent stocks into a tailspin for a few days, ushering in the worst start of the year for the markets on record. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined about 8% between December 31 and January 15.
"Those were the days we saw the biggest net deposits we had ever seen," Bhatt said."With this younger generation, when the market takes a slide, they see it as an opportunity to buy."
This, according to Bhatt, provides a counter to the argument that investors using pure-play mobile investing apps, which lack the human element of incumbent brokers such as Charles Schwab and TD Ameritrade, would pull their money out if the markets were to witness a major downturn.
Charles Schwab, the $3 trillion asset manager, released a study showing 75% of millennials reported they would want to talk to a human adviser during "complicated" situations. A note out by a group of analysts at Morgan Stanley, led by Giulia Aurora Miotto, supports the thesis of the Schwab study.
"The financial sector consumer often needs some sort of human contact, especially when abrupt market moves lead to unexpected losses," the analysts wrote.
Robinhood's brokerage app launched in March 2015 and quickly became a favorite among younger people looking to invest without paying a commission for buying and selling stocks.
Since its launch, Robinhood has amassed over 2 million users who have bought and sold billions of dollars' worth of stocks.
*Here's the relevant passage from the interview:*
*Frank Chaparro:* You mentioned the Great Recession. And that makes me think of this question hanging over the investing space regarding apps like Robinhood and other online investment startups. Without someone to guide them through the bad times, do you think investors are more prone to pull their money out if there's a major correction?
*Baiju Bhatt:* That's an interesting question because we have actually seen a correction since Robinhood launched. Granted, it was not on the same scale as what happened in 2008.
But if you remember, in the beginning of 2016 there was a pretty significant sell-off in Q1. And there were multiple days when the markets witnessed single-digit drops in the S&P, and that was kind of interesting. Because we saw for the first time how people behave when the market is going down. And the behavior we saw was actually pretty interesting. Those were the days we saw the biggest net deposits we had ever seen.
With this younger generation, when the market takes a slide, they see it as an opportunity to buy. They view the market as being on sale. It's kind of interesting, because I remember during Brexit, Betterment decided they wouldn't let their customers withdrawal money. I think that stems from this mindset of not thinking people should be in control of their money. It tends to be better to give people control over their money, rather than restricting their access to money during such times, because they're more likely to wait it out.
