Out of waste comes a clean, high-octane fuel
Article Abstract:
Pure Energy Corp., based in New York, NY, is planning to market the P-series fuel, with 87 to 93 octane. The fuels, produced from cellulosic wastes, contains 45% to 50% of ethanol, 15% to 20% of methyltetrahydrofuran and 30% to 35% of pentanes-plus. The fuels, which are also proposed to be designated as an alternative fuel by the US Department of Energy, can reduce hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions by 35% and 15%, respectively, according to company vice president Irshad Ahmed. P-fuel is developed by Stephen Paul of Princeton University, NJ.

Fouling strikes out
Article Abstract:
Several chemical products and systems aimed at preventing coke formation are presented. Surface Engineered Products of Edmonton, Alberta, has launched its line of coatings designed to reduce the rate of carbon buildup, while Klarex Technology has introduce an external-circulation self-cleaning heat exchangers that prevent fouling buildip. Other innovative products are WSA Engineering Systems' automatic cleaning systems for shell-and-tube and plate-on-frame heat exchangers, and Pall Corp's PallSep vibrating membrane filter.

Pressure points for contaminant-free gas
Article Abstract:
The pressure regulator is the most common source of contamination in gas delivery systems. Thus, a high-purity pressure regulator would help in minimizing contamination. The selection of a regulator should be based on several factors including the requirements of process application, body types, single vs dual stage, flow regulation curves.
