Ngokonga amanzi ukuya kuthi ga kwi-97%, uAngo noSomelos babambisene ekuphuhliseni inkqubo entsha yokudaya nokugqiba.

I-Ango kunye ne-Somelos, iinkampani ezimbini eziphambili kwishishini lempahla, zidibene ukuze ziphuhlise iinkqubo ezintsha zokudaya nokugqiba ezingagcini nje ngokugcina amanzi, kodwa zikwanyusa ukusebenza kakuhle kwemveliso. Eyaziwa ngokuba yinkqubo yokudaya okomileyo/yokugqiba inkomo, le teknoloji iphambili inako ukuguqula ishishini lempahla ngokunciphisa kakhulu ukusetyenziswa kwamanzi nokuphucula uzinzo.

Ngokwesiko, ukudaya kunye neenkqubo zokugqiba amalaphu zifuna amanzi amaninzi, angadli nje kuphela izixhobo zendalo kodwa abangela nongcoliseko. Nangona kunjalo, ngenkqubo entsha yokugqiba idayi eyomileyo/i-Ox eyaziswa ngu-Ango no-Somelos, ukusetyenziswa kwamanzi kuye kwehla kakhulu - ngama-97%.

Eyona nto ibalulekileyo kulondolozo lwamanzi lukwilungiselelo ledayi kunye neebhafu zokunyibilikisa ioksijini. Ngokungafaniyo neendlela zemveli, ezixhomekeke kakhulu emanzini, le nkqubo intsha isebenzisa amanzi kuphela kula manyathelo abalulekileyo. Ngokwenza njalo, uAngo noSomelos baphumelele ekupheliseni isidingo sokusetyenziswa kwamanzi ngokugqithisileyo, nto leyo eyenza ubuchwepheshe babo bube nobunobuhlobo nokusingqongileyo kwaye bube luncedo kwezoqoqosho.

Ngaphezu koko, ukonga amanzi kule nkqubo akuyonto ibalulekileyo kuphela. Ulwelo lwe-Archroma Diresul RDT luncitshisiwe kwangaphambiliiidayi zesalfureZisetyenziswa kwinkqubo yokudaya ukuqinisekisa ukuba kulula ukuhlanjwa nokuqiniswa kwangoko ngaphandle kokuhlamba kwangaphambili. Olu phawu lutsha lunciphisa ixesha lokucubungula, lwenza imveliso icoceke kwaye luphucula ukuqina kokuhlamba ngelixa lugcina umbala ofunekayo.

Amaxesha okucubungula amafutshane ayinzuzo enkulu, njengoko engagcini nje ngokwandisa ukusebenza kakuhle kwenkqubo yemveliso, kodwa ikwavumela amaxesha okuguqula ngokukhawuleza. Ngokunciphisa ixesha elifunekayo lokudaya nokugqiba, i-Ango kunye ne-Somelos zenza abavelisi belaphu bakwazi ukuhlangabezana neemfuno ezikhulayo ngelixa benciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwezixhobo.

Ukongeza, imveliso ecocekileyo ngenkqubo yokugqiba idayi eyomileyo/iOxford inegalelo kwindalo esingqongileyo esempilweni. Ngokususa isidingo sokuhlamba kwangaphambili, ukukhutshwa kweekhemikhali eziyingozi kwimijelo yamanzi kuncitshiswa kakhulu. Oku kuthetha ukuba umgangatho wamanzi uphucukile kwaye impembelelo yokusingqongileyo inciphile, nto leyo ehambelana neenjongo zika-Ango noSomelos zokuzinza.

Ukumelana okuphezulu kokuhlamba okufunyenweyo ngale nkqubo intsha lolunye uphawu oluphawulekayo. Ukulungiswa kombala ngokuthe ngqo ngaphandle kokuhlamba kwangaphambili akugcini nje ngokusindisa amanzi nexesha, kodwa kuqinisekisa ukuba imibala ihlala ikhanya kwaye ihlala ixesha elide nasemva kokuhlamba izihlandlo ezininzi. Olu phawu luthandwa ngabathengi njengoko luqinisekisa ukuba iimpahla zabo zigcina umbala wazo wokuqala kunye nomgangatho wazo ngokuhamba kwexesha.

U-Ango no-Somelos bazimisele ukukhuthaza uphuhliso oluzinzileyo kunye nokuphuhlisa izisombululo ezintsha eziza kunceda ishishini kunye nokusingqongileyo. Intsebenziswano yabo kwinkqubo yokudaya/yokugqiba inkomo ibubungqina bokuzinikela kwabo ekudaleni ishishini lelaphu elizinzileyo ngakumbi. Ngokubeka imigangatho emitsha kwiindlela zokuvelisa ezinobuhlobo nokusingqongileyo, bavula indlela yokuba ezinye iinkampani zilandele kwaye zinegalelo kwikamva elizinzileyo ngakumbi.

Ukuqukumbela, uAngo noSomelos baphumelele ekuphuhliseni inkqubo entsha yokudaya nokugqiba engagcini nje ngokugcina amanzi amaninzi kodwa ikwanyusa ukusebenza kakuhle kwemveliso yelaphu. Inkqubo yabo yokudaya eyomileyo/yokugqiba i-Ox isebenzisa amanzi kuphela ekudayiseni nasekufakeni i-oxidizing baths, inciphisa ixesha lokucubungula, iphucula ukuqina kokuhlamba, kwaye iqinisekisa imveliso ecocekileyo. Besebenzisana, uAngo noSomelos bamisela umzekelo weendlela ezizinzileyo nezintsha kwishishini lelaphu.
