Desulfurization and reduction of siloxanes in biogas

Reducing the carbon footprint of our society is essential. This can be achieved by capturing and confining anthropogenic CO2 emissions, as well as by replacing fossil fuels with renewable fuels. MCFCs (Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells) are the only ones capable of doing both. Thanks to their principle of operation, CO2 can be extracted from a gas stream on the cathode side and fuels such as biogas ...

Shredding of RDF, TDF and SRF

Energy recovery via RDF shredder in a power plant producing from refuse-derived fuels is prevalent in 1990. Tons of waste dormant in landfills are not reusable or recyclable but can be a great source of fuel because they contain a high caloric value. Similar to RDF shredder, TDF shredding and SRF shredding use two shaft shredders to downsize the waste. Understand MSW/RDF/TDF/SRF MSW: Abbreviation ...

Getting Better All the Time: How Lean Management is Helping Transform GE

In the 1970s, a team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology traveled to Japan to figure out why that country’s automakers were delivering cars faster than their competitors in Detroit. Their search led them to Toyota and its Toyota Production System - a set of management principles focused on boosting safety, quality and efficiency, reducing waste and creating more ...

Using Thermal Insulation in Offshore Wind Farms

Thermal insulation reduces the transfer of thermal energy between objects which have different temperatures or are within range of radiative influences. Heat flow is an inevitable outcome when objects of different temperatures interact. Thermal insulation provides a region in which thermal conduction is reduced or thermal radiation is reflected by the lower-temperature ...

High Water: This Pumped Storage Tech will Help Power Austria`s Trains and Balance the Grid

Austria might be landlocked, but it has a special relationship with mountains and water. It is home to emerald-green alpine lakes fed by majestic Tyrolean glaciers, and the river that inspired that immortal waltz: “The Blue Danube.” Water was also Austria’s lifeblood ever since it started building hundreds of hydropower plants to propel the economy forward a century ago. ...

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. ...

Hydropower: Why Use Thermal Insulation in Hydroelectric Plants?

Thermal insulation is a means of stopping heat transfer from one object to another. It is usually used to decrease levels of heat transfer via conduction, requiring objects to be in direct contact, and can also be used to prevent heat transfer via radiation. Thermal conductivity of materials determines the rate of heat transfer between objects. Ceramics and metals which have high thermal ...

Keep Flowin`: GE Spins Up Supercomputer Models to Zero in On Energy Loss in Turbines

High-pressure turbines are complex pieces of engineering and vital components of gas turbines used to propel jet engines. The more efficient these jet engines are, the better the outcomes for the aircraft industry. The turbine blades rotate behind the combustion chamber in an engine, and they must endure the hot gas that spews out, accelerating them to high speeds. Because they are crucial to ...
