We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Environment Agency",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Free guide helps cut hazardous wastes from
HAZRED, which we summarised at the time by saying "The HAZRED catalogue is a searchable database which brings together examples of best practice from participants, as well as other previously published case studies".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Company supplies flood forecasting technology from
CSE Seprol: "CSE Seprol is set to provide outstations that control the Anglian area's flood warning sirens to alert local people of impending severe flooding".
In March 2007, we covered the news from Mono Pumps
concerning its Mono's Widethroat W range pump
- take a look at Pump supports geothermal drilling
which says: "Mono's Widethroat W range pump forms an essential part of Sintec's mobile system by pumping the thicker grout mixes more quickly and efficiently".
Take a look also at the news release from Gambica, WEEE compliance scheme is approved,
as well as Guidance on new nuclear power station designs from Health and Safety Executive,
and Flowmeter is approved for self-monitoring from Krohne.
