Desiccant cartridges are extremely important to help prevent moisture from entering the ISO side drum as well as the recirculation line (if applicable) on the ISO. When we pump material out of the drum it is replaced with air. The air we vent the ISO drum with needs to be dry air and these desiccant cartridges do exactly that.

It's a business no-brainer that happy employees make happy customers. But how do you get happy employees that deliver the best possible customer service? It requires employees to move beyond simple compliance of workplace rules and become truly committed to the jobs they do. And motivating people to commit requires positive reinforcement from the leadership hierarchy.

The Alliance to Save Energy (ASE) is building a new initiative called Energy 2030 On the Road: A State and Local Campaign that will launch in May 2014. The purpose of this campaign is to build awareness of the Energy 2030 policy recommendations and goal of doubling energy productivity by 2030. In order to design a roadmap for the campaign, ASE sent an Energy 2030 survey to nearly 400 state and local officials to assess the current landscape of energy efficiency policies and programs. The results are in, and there was a clear consensus on the campaign.
