Tough hot gas filter developed
Article Abstract:
The Asahi Glass Co. has come up with a tube filter configuration for advanced coal fired power generation systems such as pressurized fluidized bed combustion (PFBC) and integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC). The configuration uses big open-end tubes, around 6.5 inches in diameter by 10 feet long, installed between cooled tube sheets in multiple compartment vessels. The guarantee plant availability and to avoid unscheduled plant closures, hot-gas filter elements have to be sufficiently rugged to endure the mechanical and thermal conditions linked with a power plant environment. The mechanical environment covers shipping, installation and inspection/removal.

1st fuel cell home lights up in N.Y
Article Abstract:
Plug Power LLC, a fuel cell design and production company and a joint venture between DTE Energy and Mechanical Technology Inc., has turned on the first residential fuel cell to provide electricity to a house in Latham, NY. The prototype, which is a 7 kW proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell, depends on hydrogen as the proton donor in the chemical reaction that supplies the electricity. Commercial devices, which are anticipated to be offered by 2000, will use natural gas, methanol or propane as fuel. Customers is many markets can expect an instant 20% cost reduction from existing electricity expenses with the use of a residential fuel cell.

New corrosion inhibitor resists chlorine
Article Abstract:
In the presence of oxidizing biocides, a new halogen resistant azole or HRA for protection of copper and its alloys from corrosion is said to be more effective than Tolytriazole or TTA. HRA reportedly exhibits excellent copper corrosion inhibition in chlorinated systems with less copper dissolved as water becomes more aggressive toward steel. The new molecule, which demonstrates a very low reactivity with oxidizing biocides, also decreases the amount of oxidizing biocide required to maintain good microbiological control as a significant environmental benefit.
