Working towards net zero - What can be done with low-grade waste heat during the summer?
More than two years in and the Boden Type One DC (BTDC) project is still evolving with the team seeking new ways to increase efficiency and achieve carbon neutrality in the testbed facility. The recovery of waste heat from data centres is becoming a major issue. In a normal data centre, all of the electricity supplied is rejected as low-grade heat. There are working examples of linking data ...

Aerovit Installation - Orlén Refinery, Lithuania - Case Study
Situation BEFORE Aerovit Installation Orlen Lietuva Refinery has two boilers which are losing a considerable amount of heat due to catalyst dust build-up in the tubes. After two month of operation the boilers tubes are fully covered by catalysts dust, but Orlen ´s technicians cannot stop them for manual cleaning because it would imply the whole refinery to shut down. The diagram shows ...

The problem of NOx emissions
The problem of NOx emissions The problem with Nitrogen compounds (NOx) emissions is that they contribute to generating the greenhouse effect. For example, N2O causes 300 times more damage than CO2. In addition, NOx combines with the humidity of the air in the atmosphere and is the cause of acid rain and is therefore very dangerous for the environment. ...

Cleaning Up Gasification Syngas
Documento sin título Introduction By definition, gasification is the art of changing a non-gaseous substance, such as a liquid or a solid, into a gas. By this definition, processes such as combustion, anaerobic digestion and pyrolysis would be classified as gasification. However, in today’s world, gasification is defined as any process, which produces a “synthesis gas” or a ...
