Industry cleaning experts have created an online Product Quality Cleaning Workshops (PQCW) On-Demand Aqueous Cleaning Program. Barbara and Ed Kanegsberg, from BFK Solutions, and Darren Williams, Ph.D., leader of the Cleaning Research Group and professor of physical chemistry at Sam Houston State University, have combined their extensive parts cleaning knowledge to create the PQCW On-Demand Aqueous Cleaning Program.
The program is a four-part, on-demand tutorial/demonstration program, which is divided into one-hour segments. Participants who pass the quizzes earn a certificate of successful completion, as well as 4 hours of continuing education credit from Sam Houston State University.
Participants can also take advantage of a bonus 30-minute discussion/consultation with a PQCW instructor with the option to group the teleconference with your colleagues (for example, four colleagues can discuss issues for a total of two hours).
This course helps participants learn critical cleaning from unbiased, dispassionate experts — not sales pitches. The information attained can help manufacturers improve the current process to achieve rugged, reliable aqueous cleaning; and find the best substitutes for solvent cleaning. The program also helps employees understand and minimize negative impacts of cleaning process changes by suppliers.
Parts of the program will be familiar. Basic principles apply to most critical product cleaning. The team has added material essential to achieve success with aqueous cleaning. Learn what is unique (and sometimes annoying) about aqueous cleaning; aqueous cleaning and the supply chain information; and how to make the most of aqueous cleaning – even if a solvent process seems simpler. The program also includes choices in cleaning forces with an enhanced tutorial on ultrasonics; and details on fixturing for successful aqueous cleaning.
The program includes a special discount offer for past workshop participants as well as a group rate savings when registering one or more colleagues. For more information, visit SHSU Online — PQCW On-Demand Aqueous Cleaning Program.
