Kimre™ Technology

The introduction of Kimre™ patented high-performance, interlaced mesh structure revolutionized the technology of process fluid separation and air pollution control. This unique, innovative concept is far superior to the usual tower packing, chevrons, and mesh pads used for mass and heat transfer, particulate removal and mist elimination. As a result, industries around the world have increased production, reduced energy and maintenance costs, and reduced emissions to comply with ever more stringent air and water pollution control standards. The Kimre interlaced mesh structure is simple, yet surprisingly effective. The basic structure of the mesh forms a ladder-like arrangement of thermoplastic filaments, forming double-V systems that intersect each other at right angles. Our engineered mesh construction has a large surface area and void space. The choice of filament diameter and the physical arrangement of mesh layers optimize the effectiveness and range of solid or liquid particle removal. A variety of thermoplastic filament materials allows for continuous service from -320° F to 400° F (-195° C to 204° C). The thermoplastic media eliminates problems associated with corrosion, contamination, and erosion. The lightweight material is flexible, offers exact fit and is easy to install, remove, and maintain. Kimre offers a range of products, all based on its unique media that effectively removes solid and liquid particles below one micron while draining large volumes of liquid. Kimre products are so effective they make traditional tower packing and metal pads obsolete.

Car-cooling glass OK'd, but pollution fee is put off

SACRAMENTO – The state Air Resources Board yesterday unanimously ordered automakers to gradually install sunlight-reflecting glass designed to keep cars cooler, improve gas mileage and help battle global warming.
By lowering interior temperatures, regulators said, motorists would not be as tempted to crank up their gas-gobbling air conditioners. In turn, that would save fuel and cut greenhouse-gas emissions.
But in a surprise move, the board postponed imposing the nation's first carbon fee on most industries that release greenhouse gases. Board members said they wanted to review a potential conflict with federal law.
The carbon fee would raise about $52 million a year initially, later dropping to $36 million, to cover administrative costs for the state's program to cut greenhouse gases. That plan would cost California households an estimated $4 a year if utilities, refineries and others passed along the fee, according to air board estimates.
The decision came after several electricity providers warned that California might inadvertently put a fee on energy that is moved through but not used in the state. That would violate federal energy laws.
“We don't want to proceed with anything until we're absolutely confident what we're doing will meet every legal and constitutional test,” said Mary Nichols, air board chairwoman.

The World’s Biggest Pollution Factory

The coal that has powered China’s economic growth . . . is also choking its people. – Elizabeth C. Economy At the root of many of China’s air-quality problems is its heavy dependence on relatively high-sulfur, low-quality coal for everything from electricity generation and industrial production to cooking and space heating in the home. China relies on coal for almost 75% of its energy needs. In fact, each year, China consumes more coal than Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States combined. The scale and scope of China’s coal power plant construction program is almost beyond one’s imagination. Consider that every single week, China adds one new large coal power plant to its energy base. Every single year, China builds enough new coal plants to light up the entire British Isles. In any given year, the amount of coal-fired capacity that China is building amounts to more than double that of the entire electricity-generating capacity of the state of California-more than 100 gigawatts. That China’s coal appetites are voracious is aptly captured in this passage from the Wall Street Journal: ”On a recent hazy morning in eastern China, the Wuhu Shaoda power company revved up its production of electricity, burning a ton and a half of coal per minute to satisfy more than half the demand of Wuhu, an industrial city of two million people. “It’s not just the quantity of coal used by China that matters.

Green Roofs to be Mandatory on New Toronto Buildings

All new residential, commercial and institutional buildings with more than 2,000 square meters of floorspace in the City of Toronto will soon require a vegetated area, known as a green roof, on a portion of the rooftop. Toronto says it is the first municipality to pass a mandatory green roof bylaw, effective February 2010.
"The City of Toronto s leadership on all things green took another major step by making it obligatory to have green roofs for all types of new buildings," says deputy mayor Joe Pantalone. "This bylaw is a major part of the solution to climate change, the creation of green jobs, and it represents a whole new mindset on how our cities approach the 20 per cent or so of surface area that are roofs."
Steven Peck, president of the not-for-profit industry group Green Roofs for Healthy Cities says Toronto s bylaw "breaks new ground on how to structure a mandatory green roof requirement and the construction standard also contains important best practices that may prove to be a model for other cities."
Green roofs offer environmental benefits such as reducing storm water runoff, cutting en

China Will Be Testing Two Maglev Systems to Transport Freight: Up to Three Times Cheaper than Trucks or Rail

China is installing two prototype magnetically levitated (maglev) systems for transporting coal in Inner Mongolia in an attempt to increase transport speeds and efficiencies, and to reduce pollution. Cost studies show $0.13 to 0.017 per ton-mile depending upon the length of magnetic pipe. Rail and truck costs are in the $0.35 to 0.05 per ton-mile cost range.


Magplane Magpipes
Magplane Technology designs and fabricates pipeline transport systems using the linear synchronous motor technology developed for the Magplane system. Typical applications for pipeline transport range from priority mail packages to ore transport. A typical ore application would have an underground pair of 60 cm diameter pipes for outbound and returning capsules, and typically carry 10 millions tons per year over a distance of 50 km.

Electromagnetic drives for pipeline systems are intended to replace pneumatic capsules. Pneumatic capsule pipelines have a long history, and there are several large scale systems in current use. Conventional pneumatic systems use external blowers to move the column of air together with the capsules in the pipe. Full-diameter valves are used to control the injection, removal and subsequent return of capsules. Various practical limits constrain the throughput of these systems and limit their cost effectiveness.

A demonstration project which uses a linear synchronous motor to move vehicles has been constructed at the IMC-Agrico Company in Lakeland, FL. The demonstration utilizes 200 m of 60 cm diameter cylindrical cast "waste water" fiberglass tube, and includes a 60 m long accelerator/decelerator section, a switch, and load and unload stations. The test vehicle traverses back and forth at a peak speed of 65 km/hr. The 1.8 m long wheelbase vehicle uses six-wheel assemblies at each end of a rotating hopper, and has a payload capacity of 270 kg. The vehicle carries an array of neodymium-iron boron permanent magnets which interact with the linear motor mounted on the outside of the tube to provide propulsion, and with external coils to provide an electromagnetic switch function.

Proposed federal emission rule threatens cement plants

Two major local employers, Lehigh Southwest Cement Company in Tehachapi and CalPortland Cement in Mojave, are facing a stringent new federal emission rule that may be impossible to meet.

Both plants fall short of the proposed standard for mercury emissions, but the Lehigh plant has a far greater challenge ahead of it to meet the demands of the Environmental Protection Agency.

The proposed standard for mercury is “very low,” said Kern County Air Pollution Control Officer Dave Jones.

“Our plant has been on this site for the last 100 years and now the United States Environmental Protection Agency has determined if we cannot meet their proposed emission levels, the plant would be required to close,” said Lehigh Plant Manager Craig Mifflin. “Lehigh is in the process of preparing pilot plant studies to determine the ability of existing control technologies to control these pollutants. The challenge of course, will be the ability to meet all of the parameters' extremely low limits.”

BP: 'We share concerns about benzene'

By Gitte Laasby Post-Tribune staff writer

On June 2, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced it had cited BP Whiting for environmental violations. For nearly six years, the refinery emitted cancer-causing benzene at its wastewater treatment plant without proper air pollution control equipment.
Under the Clean Air Act, BP is required to manage and treat benzene waste from its wastewater treatment plant. But not all emissions from the waste were controlled as required.
In 2008, BP totaled 95 tons of benzene waste — nearly 16 times the amount allowed, according to the EPA. Similar violations took place between 2003 and 2008.
BP self-disclosed the violations to the EPA in a required annual report for 2008 submitted on Feb. 10 this year. BP spokesman Scott Dean said BP discovered the problem when a third party audited the treatment plant in the fall as part of an effort to improve operations.
EPA's announcement led 19 congressional legislators from Great Lakes states to send a letter to EPA, demanding it investigate whether BP complies with its environmental permits.
The EPA is preparing a letter in response.

Wet Scrubbers: Pros and Cons

Table 1. Relative advantages and disadvantages of wet scrubbers compared to other control devices
Advantages	Disadvantages
Small space requirements Scrubbers reduce the temperature and volume of the unsaturated exhaust stream. Therefore, vessel sizes, including fans and ducts downstream, are smaller than those of other control devices. Smaller sizes result in lower capital costs and more flexibility in site location of the scrubber. No secondary dust sources Once particulate matter is collected, it cannot escape from hoppers or during transport. Handles high-temperature, high-humidity gas streams No temperature limits or condensation problems can occur as in baghouses or ESPs. Minimal fire and explosion hazards Various dry dusts are flammable. Using water eliminates the possibility of explosions. Ability to collect both gases and particulate matter	Corrosion problems Water and dissolved pollutants can form highly corrosive acid solutions. Proper construction materials are very important. Also, wet-dry interface areas can result in corrosion. High power requirements High collection efficiencies for particulate matter are attainable only at high pressure drops, resulting in high operating costs. Water-disposal problems Settling ponds or sludge clarifiers may be needed to meet waste-water regulations. Difficult product recovery Dewatering and drying of scrubber sludge make recovery of any dust for reuse very expensive and difficult.

Rekindling Wood Energy in America

Clean-energy opportunities are many and will be realized if energy policy can both promote the efficiency of our energy system and sustainable development of a full complement of renewables: solar, wind, geothermal, hydro, and biomass.

As America begins to back away from fossil fuels, consumers are more and more ready to transition to affordable and sustainable sources of renewable energies. The recently proposed Renewable Electricity Standard (RES) is gaining considerable support in Congress and among the general public. As written however, it inadvertently is poised to waste large amounts of renewable thermal energy and needs more careful crafting.

One of the largest sources of renewable energy available today is one of the oldest, that is direct combustion of wood. Recent European developments in advanced wood combustion (AWC, defined as automated, high-efficiency wood-fired energy systems with strict air pollution control) have wood supplying thermal and electrical energy cleanly and reliably to thousands of communities in Europe and increasingly in North America. AWC minimizes air pollutants including fossil greenhouse gases.

AWC is so clean and safe that AWC systems are commonly deployed in the midst of picture-perfect European towns and villages. Because AWC systems can be developed in community-sized increments of 0.1 to 20 MWth, they can be managed to meet community needs and not overwhelm the productivity of local woodsheds.
