Clean Energy Solution - What is Plasma Gasification? - Plasma Gasification Process (PGP) is a thermal process that involves the application of intense heat to waste materials in a completely closed, controlled, and oxygen-starved environment. This process converts waste materials into a clean synthetic gas and heat that can be used to generate electricity. Is the Plasma Gasification Process (PGP) just another form of incineration? No. Zero Waste Solution - Waste to Energy Technology - Some things are very difficult to recycle. Most of the time, leftover waste will end up in landfills or incinerators. This is where the “Plasma Gasification Process (PGP)” comes in. The process offers a zero waste solution to converting garbage to a clean synthetic gas and other products to make electricity, fertilizer, construction material, salt and clean water. PGP is a thermal process that involves the application of intense heat to waste materials in a completely closed, controlled, and oxygen-starved environment. This process converts waste materials into a clean synthetic gas and heat that can be used to generate electricity. This is not an incineration process because no burning occurs.

Supercharge Your Tankless Water Heater - Get Fast Hot Water and Be Green! - While it’s true that tankless water heaters save energy and can provide an endless supply of hot water, it’s also true that tankless units take longer to get the hot water to the fixtures. Since a tankless heater needs to heat the water before it can deliver hot water to you, you have to wait longer. The only way to get the hot water of course is to run the faucet. So while you run the faucet and wait, you are dumping gallon after gallon of pure clean water down the drain. Water that required energy for pumping and treating it. Be Green! Stop Running Water down the Drain! - If you are like most people, you start your day by running water down the drain while you wait for hot water to arrive at the shower. If your home has the water heater on one end of the house, and the master bath on the other end of the house, then you may have quite a wait. In such homes it is not uncommon to find that the occupants leave the hot water running in the shower while they go do something else, and return to find the water hot and ready for their shower. This means that not only is water being wastefully run down the drain, but it’s hot water as well. Heating the water is actually much more expensive than the cost of the water.

Simple, use a hot water circulating system or a hot water demand system to provide you with fast hot water and to eliminate the running of water down the drain while you wait. Modern Alchemy: Wind to Water - The Perth SWRO plant in Western Australia utilizes a combination of clean wind power and the highest efficiency ERD available for one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly desalination plants in world. A Thirsty Nation The ongoing population growth in Australia's coastal communities combined with the worst drought in a century have unhappily converged creating the necessity for the Australian government to find water sources that are both located near to the large coastal communities that need them and that aren't subject to the whim's of changing weather patterns. The Solution Facing impending water shortages, in April 2005, Western Australia's (WA) Water Corporation made a decision to form a public-private partnership with global water treatment company DegrÃ©mont. DegrÃ©mont has a 25-year operation agreement with the government owned Water Corporation. Tankless Water Heater or Storage Type? Which Is Right For You? - Tankless water heaters sales have been booming lately. Unlimited hot water and energy savings are the features most often touted by the tankless water heater industry, and a smaller footprint is often mentioned. While they do provide an unlimited supply of hot water they are not without their own problems. Storage type water heaters have been the standard in the United States, but recently tankless water heaters have begun to make an impact. Beijing Air Not The Only Focus During The Olympics - Beijing air quality has been the focus of foreign reporters since a long time ago.

Here is such a project. It’s not difficult, highly rewarding, and not only is it environmentally friendly, but it ads convenience to your daily life. A win-win if there ever was one. Fast hot water delivery systems, commonly known as hot water circulating or recirculating systems, provide a number of benefits. Plastic Pollution And The Plight Of The Planet - By negligently discarding plastic items, especially plastic water bottles, fishing gear and plastic bags, people are unknowingly causing the deaths of millions of mammals, fish, birds and reptiles each and every year. We defile the face of the earth with plastic refuse creating waterway contamination. Since the invention of plastic earlier this century, it has become a popular material used in a wide variety of unique and innovative applications. Plastic is used to make, or wrap around, many of the items we buy or use. The problem comes when we no longer want these items and how we dispose of them, particularly the throwaway plastic material used in wrapping or packaging. Plastic is handy, lightweight and easily discarded. Too easily discarded. Plastics are utilized because they are easy and inexpensive to manufacture, strong and durable. Hurricanes: Are They Getting Worse? - Since the year 2000, it seems that tropical storms and hurricanes are occurring more frequently, and with more intensity. Are hurricane seasons getting progressively worse? There are many differing opinions within the scientific community. To form your own opinion, it’s helpful to review the number and types of storms we’ve experienced in this decade. The first year of the new millennium saw a total of 4 tropical depressions, 7 tropical storms, and 8 hurricanes. Bottled Water Is An Environmental Disaster! - Do you wish to live in a way that protects our children’s future? Do you want to live in the greenest world possible with a conscience, respect and appreciation for the environment?

We endeavor to make environmentally beneficial choices in many aspects of our daily living, yet we ignore one of the major contributors to the plight of the planet. How to Design and Operate a PX System Part 2 - ABSTRACT The new pressure exchanger (PX) device transfers the energy from the concentrate stream directly to the feed stream. This direct, positive displacement approach results in a net transfer efficiency of over 95%. Although application of the PX technology is simple in both theory and practice, in order to get the most benefit from this technology it is important to reconsider the SWRO design and operation approach. Pertinent design considerations include pre-filtration, conversion rate optimization; Climate Change Psychosis And Lily Pad Cities - There is a new psychiatric malady reported in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry. Dr. Joshua Wolf and Dr. Robert Sato of the Royal Children's Hospital have documented a case of a "previously unreported phenomenon" which they are calling Climate Change Psychosis. Indeed, it is a name which describes a very serious mental malady. The psychiatric case was described in the Journal as follows; The Folly Beach Turtle Watch Program - Loggerhead sea turtles come ashore Folly Beach, SC to lay their eggs between May and October. Despite popular belief, the females only nest every two or three years, and during their nesting season they can lay anywhere from two to five separate batches of eggs. Each of these batches, or nests, usually contains about 100 eggs which incubate for approximately 45 to 60 days.
