Ngomcimbi woSuku Lwezemvelo Lomhlaba, i-Emirates ikhombisa indlela yokuhlanza indiza ehambisana nemvelo eye yasiza inkampani yezindiza ukuthi yonge izigidi zamalitha amanzi njalo ngonyaka. I-Emirates isebenzisa indlela ye-'aircraft drywash' ukuhlanza indiza yayo. Njengoba kuboniswa igama, kuhileleke amanzi amancane noma awekho nhlobo ekuhlanzeni indiza, okuphambene nezindlela ezivamile zokuhlanza indiza ngokuvamile ezisebenzisa izinkulungwane zamalitha amanzi ngokuwasha ngakunye.
Phakathi nesikhathi ngasinye sokundiza, indiza inqwabelanisa uthuli nenhlabathi ngaphandle. Ngaphezu kokwenza indiza ibukeke ingcolile futhi ingakhangi kangako, ukungcola okunqwabelana endaweni yendiza nakho kwandisa uphethiloli ewusebenzisayo ngokwenza indiza ibe nzima futhi ingabi namandla emoyeni. Ngokwesiko izindiza zihlanzwa ngokusebenzisa amanzi anomfutho omkhulu phakathi kwezikhathi ezine kuya kweziyisihlanu njalo ngonyaka. Nokho, ngokwesilinganiso le ndlela isebenzisa amalitha amanzi angaphezu kuka-11,300 ukuhlanza indiza eyodwa ye-Airbus A380 kanye namalitha amanzi angaphezu kuka-9,500 ukuhlanza indiza ye-Boeing 777 njalo.
Kusukela ekuqaleni kuka-2016 i-Emirates ibilokhu isebenzisa indlela yokugeza indiza ukuhlanza umkhumbi wayo wezindiza ezingaphezu kuka-250. Kule nqubo, umkhiqizo wokuhlanza uketshezi kuqala usetshenziswa ngesandla kuyo yonke indawo yangaphandle yendiza. Indwangu ehlanzekile ye-microfibre ibe isisetshenziswa ukususa umkhiqizo wokuhlanza owomile efilimini, kukhishwe ukungcola kanye nawo futhi kushiye indiza ihlanzekile futhi iphucuziwe. Indiza ishiywe nefilimu yokuvikela enhle evumela indawo ependiwe ukuthi igcine isicwebezelisi eside futhi icwebezele. Kuthatha ithimba labasebenzi abangu-15 cishe amahora angu-12 ukuhlanza i-A380 kanye namahora angu-9 ukuhlanza indiza ye-Boeing 777.
Buka ividiyo we-Emirates Airbus A380 egezwa ngamanzi e-Emirates Engineering hangar eDubai.
Kunezinzuzo eziningi zokusebenzisa inqubo ye-drywash. Esokuqala ukuthi kuncane ukusetshenziswa kwamanzi ukuhlanza indiza. Lapho ihlanganiswa phezu kwemikhumbi yayo yezindiza ezingu-260, i-Emirates yonga amalitha amanzi angaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-11 njalo ngonyaka. Ukwengeza indlela yokugeza indiza engenamanzi iqinisekisa ukuthi indiza ihlala ihlanzekile isikhathi eside ngaleyo ndlela inciphisa inani lezikhathi lapho indiza okufanele iwashwe cishe izikhathi ezintathu ngonyaka, futhi inciphisa nokusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli endizeni ngenxa yokunqwabelana okuncane kokungcola. .
Ukusebenza, kungenzeka ukuthi omunye umsebenzi wokulungisa wenziwe endizeni ngokuhambisana ngesikhathi sokugeza okomile okungenakwenzeka lapho indiza igezwa ngamanzi ngenxa yokuzwela kwezinsimbi emanzini.
I-Emirates izibophezele ekubeni yinkampani yezindiza enakekela imvelo futhi isebenzisa enye yezindiza ezincane kunazo zonke futhi ezonga uphethiloli kakhulu emhlabeni. Ngaphezu kokwamukela i-drywashing endizeni yayo, inkampani yezindiza yamukele inani lezinye izinhlelo zokonga ugesi kuyo yonke imisebenzi yayo.
Ubunjiniyela Nokunakekela
I-Emirates isebenzisa indlela emisha yokugeza igwebu yokuhlanza izinjini zezindiza evumela inkampani yezindiza ukuthi yonge cishe amathani angama-200 okukhishwa kwesikhutha ngonyaka kuwo wonke umkhumbi wayo. Ezinye izinhlelo zibandakanya ukufakwa kwe-megawatt eyodwa yamaphaneli ezithombe ze-solar photo voltaic endaweni yobuciko I-Emirates Engine Maintenance Center e-Dubai. Amaphaneli aphehla ugesi wamahora angaphezu kuka-1,800 wamamegawathi njalo ngonyaka, asize ukonga cishe amathani angama-800 ekukhishweni kwesikhutha. I-Emirates Engineering iphinde yafaka izibani ze-LED ezonga amandla ezibangelwa izinzwa ezinyakazayo ezehlisa kakhulu ukusetshenziswa kukagesi.
Imikhiqizo ye-Inflight
I-Emirates yethule izingubo zokulala ezizinzile ezikhiqizwe ngamabhodlela epulasitiki agaywe kabusha angu-100%. Kusetshenziswa ubuchwepheshe be-ecoTHREAD™ obunelungelo lobunikazi, ingubo ngayinye yenziwa ngamabhodlela epulasitiki agaywe kabusha angama-28. Kulinganiselwa ukuthi ekupheleni kuka-2019, izingubo zokulala ze-Emirates ecoTHREAD™ zizobe sezihlenge amabhodlela epulasitiki ayizigidi ezingama-88 ezindaweni zokulahla indle.
Kusasa Okuhlaza Kakhudlwana
Ngohlelo lwayo lwe-'A Greener Tomorrow', i-Emirates ihlinzeke ngezimali izinhlangano ezingenzi nzuzo emhlabeni wonke ezisebenzela ukulondoloza nokuvikela indawo yazo yasendaweni. Izimali zalolu hlelo ziqoqwa ngokuphelele ngezinhlelo zangaphakathi ze-Emirates Group zokuvuselela kabusha.
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- Additionally the waterless aircraft wash technique ensures that the aircraft remains cleaner for a longer period of time thereby reducing the number of times the aircraft has to be washed to about three times a year, and also reducing the aircraft's fuel consumption because of less accumulation of dirt.
- Ukusebenza, kungenzeka ukuthi omunye umsebenzi wokulungisa wenziwe endizeni ngokuhambisana ngesikhathi sokugeza okomile okungenakwenzeka lapho indiza igezwa ngamanzi ngenxa yokuzwela kwezinsimbi emanzini.
- As indicated by the name, little or no water is involved in cleaning the aircraft, which is in contrast to conventional methods of aircraft cleaning which typically use thousands of litres of water per wash.
