I-Ango ne-Somelos, izinkampani ezimbili ezihamba phambili embonini yezindwangu, zihlanganyele ukuthuthukisa izinqubo ezintsha zokudaya nokuqeda ezingagcini nje ngokusindisa amanzi, kodwa futhi zikhuphule ukusebenza kahle kokukhiqiza. Eyaziwa ngokuthi inqubo yokudaya okomile/yokuqeda inkomo, lobu buchwepheshe obuphambili bunamandla okuguqula imboni yezindwangu ngokunciphisa kakhulu ukusetshenziswa kwamanzi nokuthuthukisa ukusimama.
Ngokwesiko, ukudaya izindwangu kanye nezinqubo zokuqeda zidinga amanzi amaningi, angagcini nje ngokudla izinsiza zemvelo kodwa futhi abangela ukungcola. Kodwa-ke, ngenqubo entsha yokuqeda udayi owomile/i-Ox eyethulwe yi-Ango ne-Somelos, ukusetshenziswa kwamanzi kuye kwehla kakhulu - okuhlaba umxhwele ngo-97%.
Isihluthulelo salokhu konga amanzi okumangalisayo sisekulungiseleleni udayi kanye nokugeza nge-oxidation. Ngokungafani nezindlela zendabuko, ezithembele kakhulu emanzini, inqubo entsha isebenzisa amanzi kuphela kulezi zinyathelo ezibalulekile. Ngokwenza kanjalo, u-Ango no-Somelos baqede ngempumelelo isidingo sokusetshenziswa kwamanzi ngokweqile, okwenza ubuchwepheshe babo bube nobungane emvelweni futhi bube nenzuzo kwezomnotho.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukonga amanzi kwale nqubo akuyona yodwa inzuzo yayo. Uketshezi lwe-Archroma Diresul RDT luncishisiwe kusengaphambiliudayi wesibabulezisetshenziswa enkambisweni yokudaya ukuqinisekisa ukuthi kulula ukuhlanza nokulungisa ngokushesha ngaphandle kokuwasha kusengaphambili. Lesi sici esisha sinciphisa isikhathi sokucubungula, senza kube lula ukukhiqizwa okuhlanzekile futhi sithuthukise ukuqina kokuwasha ngenkathi kugcinwa amandla ombala afunekayo.
Izikhathi zokucubungula ezimfushane ziyinzuzo enkulu, njengoba zingakhulisi nje kuphela ukusebenza kahle kwenqubo yokukhiqiza, kodwa futhi zivumela izikhathi zokuguqula ngokushesha. Ngokunciphisa isikhathi esidingekayo sokudaya nokuqedela, i-Ango ne-Somelos zenza abakhiqizi bezindwangu bakwazi ukuhlangabezana nesidingo esikhulayo ngenkathi benciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwezinsiza.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukukhiqizwa okuhlanzekile ngenqubo yodayi owomile/yokuqeda i-Oxford kunegalelo endaweni enempilo. Ngokususa isidingo sokuwasha kusengaphambili, ukukhishwa kwamakhemikhali ayingozi emifuleni yamanzi kunciphisa kakhulu. Lokhu kusho ikhwalithi yamanzi ethuthukisiwe kanye nomthelela oncishisiwe emvelweni, okuhambisana nemigomo ka-Ango no-Somelos yokuzinza.
Ukumelana okuphezulu kokuwasha okutholakala ngale nqubo entsha kungenye into ephawulekayo. Ukufakwa kombala ngqo ngaphandle kokuwasha kusengaphambili akugcini nje ngokusindisa amanzi nesikhathi, kodwa futhi kuqinisekisa ukuthi imibala ihlala ikhanya futhi ihlala isikhathi eside ngisho nangemva kokuwasha kaningi. Lesi sici sithandwa ngabathengi njengoba siqinisekisa ukuthi izingubo zabo zigcina umbala wazo wokuqala kanye nekhwalithi yazo ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
U-Ango no-Somelos bazibophezele ekukhuthazeni intuthuko esimeme kanye nokuthuthukisa izixazululo ezintsha ezizuzisa imboni kanye nemvelo. Ukubambisana kwabo enkambisweni yokudaya/yokuqeda inkomo eyomile kuwubufakazi bokuzibophezela kwabo ekudaleni imboni yezindwangu esimeme kakhudlwana. Ngokubeka amazinga amasha kumasu okukhiqiza anobungani nemvelo, bavula indlela yokuba ezinye izinkampani zilandele futhi zifake isandla ekusaseni elimeme kakhudlwana.
Ekuphetheni, i-Ango ne-Somelos baphumelele ukuthuthukisa inqubo entsha yokudaya nokuqeda engagcini nje ngokusindisa amanzi amaningi kodwa futhi ikhulisa ukusebenza kahle kokukhiqizwa kwezindwangu. Inqubo yabo yokudaya okomile/yokuqeda i-Ox isebenzisa amanzi kuphela ekudayiseni nasekufakeni i-oxidizing baths, inciphisa isikhathi sokucubungula, ithuthukisa ukuqina kokuwasha, futhi iqinisekise ukukhiqizwa okuhlanzekile. Besebenzisana, i-Ango ne-Somelos babeka isibonelo semikhuba eqhubekayo nemisha embonini yezindwangu.
