Eliminate sensor fouling

Article Abstract:

Donaldsonville, LA-based Melamine Chemicals Inc has installed a highly effective water management program for its plant cooling system. The company's new, Stranco Products-made Strantel 930 system is based on flow cell technology and is self cleaning, thereby avoiding the fouling or corroding of heat exchanger tubes and ensuring reliable readings. It has enabled Melamine Chemicals to increase the number of cycles for cooling water from five to eight, save $60,000 in overtime pay and cut operating costs by $6,500 per year and chemical demand by one-third.

Sludge hydrolysis boosts throughput in sewage treatment plants

Article Abstract:

Cambi AS, based in Oslo, Norway, has designed a hydrolysis process that could boost the capacity of anaerobic digesters and increase biogas production. The new treatment technology that could also boost the dry solids consistency to 35% in the final product applies direct steam injection at 160 degrees celsius to 180 degrees celsius and six to 10 bars to examine sludge prior to a conventional anaerobic digester. The company has forged a joint venture with Simon-Hartley in England, UK, to market the new technology.

Waste-gasifier will be tested for its liquid fuels potential

Article Abstract:

Thermogenics Inc., based in Albuquerque, NM, will build a facility for the conversion of organic wastes into a hydrogen-carbon monoxide syngas. The plant, slated for construction by October 1998, will use a modified air-blown thermal gasifier to convert as much as 1,000 lb/h of municipal solid waste, tires and wood into a syngas suitable to be used in the production of liquid fuels. Meanwhile, the first two commercial types of air-blown gasifiers will be used by Ontario Hydro in Toronto, Ontario.
