Full-scale Experience with THIOPAQ® Technology from Paques - An Elegant Way to Desulphurise Biogas
European governments have increasingly recognised the fact that fossil fuels on earth are limited and that alternative energy sources need to be developed and implemented. Wind, sun and biomass are widely recognised as new sources of renewable energy. Most countries have set ambitious targets for the development of alternative energy sources. Germany with its Feed-In Tariff Program is one of the front runners for stimulating sustainable energy development and use. This programme is largely...
Enabling Carbon Management - Moving Beyond Carbon Measurement and Reporting
Creating a carbon footprint report has become a commonplace activity for most businesses. It is increasingly expected that they will participate in voluntary carbon reporting initiatives, of which there are an ever growing number, including the likes of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), as well as any compliance reporting obligations, such as the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC). On top of this the carbon footprint is often included in the annual CSR o...
Chinese Power Plants Emit as Much NOX as All the Passenger Cars in the World - McIlvaine Company
China has spent more on equipment to reduce NOx from power plants in the last two years than any other country, but it has a long way to go. The installed capacity of deNOx systems at the end of 2010 was 58,000 MW. This means that about 10 percent of the total coal-fired capacity of 600,000 MW is fitted with deNOx equipment. By contrast, two-thirds of the capacity is fitted with scrubbers to remove acid gases such as SO2. McIlvaine Company forecasts the market for deNOx systems in World NOx Cont...
Flexibility is Key to Solving Air Pollution Abatement Challenges - Trevor Lawton
Modern air pollution regulations increasingly demand the deployment of more flexible abatement systems to address the growing complexity of air pollution regulations, which have to address a multi-tiered array of local authority, national and international requirements. The ever increasing pressure to reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is making it more difficult for plant operators to determine the most suitable pollution system for their process. Many air pollution applications call for...
The Impact of Air Pollution Control Systems on Operating Costs: Modern Designs, Components, add-on Equipment Help Reduce Energy use and Improve Profitability
In real estate, there are three important factors: location, location, location. In manufacturing, there are also three important factors: operating costs, operating costs, operating costs. While the initial purchase price of any piece of capital equipment is certainly a critical element, the costs to run that same equipment will affect profitability for the entire life of the system.
Brofind Demonstrate How to Turn your VOC Abatement or Solvent Recovery Plant (New or Existing) into a Never-Ending Energy Source
Before the increase in Global ecological consciousness, air treatment plants were only required to comply with the norms set out for emissions from the stack.
Side Stream Air Lift MBR Development and Successful Application of a New Generation of MBR
One of the more recent applications of membrane technology is in membrane bioreactors (MBR). The MBR design target is an ideal combination of bacteria to reduce the organic content of waste and membrane technology to remove particulate matter to produce high quality water for reuse.
Biogas – Energy to Reckon With
Biogas is a green energy calling on more and more leading edge technical installations. Undoubtedly, the produced kW cost is not yet a competitor against nuclear or fossil fuel energies, but the systems installed are more and more efficient, and their financial profitability is increasing. In this field, Germany has built itself a world-leading position. Germany built 820 systems in 2006, increasing the total installed production units to 3700 and is now the No.1 world biogas base...
