Save Time, Water, Energy, and Money with Instant Hot Water! - Having instantly available hot water at the fixture when you reach for the faucet saves you not only time, but water as well. You don’t have to stand there running water down the drain while you wait. Lots of folks have fixtures so far away from the water heater that they turn on the hot water and go do something else instead of standing there waiting. When they return the water is hot. That means they have been running hot water down the drain. The energy to heat water is much more expensive than the water itself. This is a huge waste of energy and contributes to the emission of green house gases as well. An instant hot water system eliminates this waste of course. 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. 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. Most people are familiar with storage (tank type) water heaters, where you have a big tank of hot water ready and waiting when you need it. Can Your Closet Go Green? - Finding eco-friendly alternatives for your home is an important step towards helping our environment thrive. The greatest impact can be made if we each do our part. You may not have the money to make your house completely eco-friendly, but small steps can help you to lower your bills and save energy. You can even boost your health! One easy and inexpensive place to start is your lightbulbs. Incandescent light bulbs use a lot of energy and put out a lot of heat. In fact, they are so inefficient that Congress actually plans on banning them within the next few years, saving Americans billions of dollars in energy costs over the next decade. Incandescent bulbs can be a real fire hazard as well. Do It Yourself Green Project - Faster Hot Water - Itching to get your hands on a good do it yourself type project? Something you can do with your own two hands and feel good about when you finish? 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. Obviously faster hot water means you don’t have to wait as long for it, saving you time. Since these systems do not run water down the drain when delivering the hot water, they save a lot of water. Tankless Water Heater? Turn it Green with Faster Hot Water! - There are hot water pumps designed specifically to get you your hot water faster, and they eliminate running water down the drain while you are waiting. These pumps or pumping systems are called “Demand “hot water systems. There are several manufactures of such systems. Let’s take a minute and examine the reasons for the lengthy delay in obtaining hot water at the fixtures. Back in the old days, when there were no low flow fixtures, you could get your hot water pretty fast, but you still used just as much water. 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%. Work Stress? It’s a State of Mind - Unhappy at work? Change your attitude. It can make all the difference. Take an average weekday and measure the number of hours you’re awake. If you’re a working woman, the majority of them are probably spent in the office. And if that environment is an unhappy one, you’re probably going home in a bad mood, which means your family and friends are suffering too. Running Riot - No matter what your fitness level, this program gives you everything you need to get moving, do a 10km – or just feel great. Even if just the thought of running a road race makes you expire, you’ll be ready to go by the end of this program. Honest. Its 12 weeks that will change the way you think of yourself. The bonus? How to Design and Operate a PX System - Part 1 - 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%. Hot Water – Why Does It Take So Long? - Do you have to stand naked and shivering waiting for the shower to get hot? Why does it take so darned long to get hot water to the fixture? There are a number of variables involved in getting the hot water from your water heater to your fixtures. Potable Water from Sea and Wind - Western Australia's Water Corporation is on track to produce drinking water form a 45GL/a desalination plant located in Kwinana, 25km south of Perth. The plant is being built by proAlliance - a 50/50 joint venture between West Australian construction company Multiplex and French water treatment company Degremont. Degremont will operate the 140,000m3/d plant for 25 years under a public-private partnership with the West Australian government-owned Water Corporation. The construction cost is $387 million. Drought Problems? Instant Hot Water Really Helps! - If you are suffering through drought conditions, then you already know that every drop of water is precious. There are of course, many ways to save water. Most methods of saving water involve giving up something or suffering in some manner. You have to give up washing the car, or watch your lawn die. Low flow toilets and shower heads are not a great deal of fun either. Clean Coal and Business As Usual - The difficulties we face in weaning ourselves off fossil fuels are immense. Renewable energies are still small players in the global power scene and biofuels have their own inherent problems. None of these energy sources are yet poised to rescue us from our fossil addiction. Biofuel or Biofool? Biofuel Production Needs Careful Planning - While we strive to deal with the imminent decline of world oil supplies we also need to consider the impact of oil alternatives. Biofuel production has been held up as a solution to our oil dependence. Biofuels have also been promoted as a replacement for oil, implying that we will be able to maintain our lifestyles even after the oil supply has run dry. This is certainly a worthy goal, but how realistic is this and at what cost will this fuel be produced? The basis of biofuel production is the conversion of plant sugars into ethanol, which can then be used as a fuel. Water Desalination Makes Seawater Palatable - These days, when mankind finds a way to run a natural resource dry, it seems to find an answer to its replenishment. Gasoline prices in the U.S. are soaring, but alternatives abound in the form of ethanol, bio diesel, and even recycled kitchen grease. In the past, when draught has reared its parched head, people turned to a multitude of things – water rationing, trading front lawns for yards full of quartz, even infrequent flushing. Thankfully, there is a highly effective and more practical answer to the world water crisis, in the form of water desalination. San Leandro based Energy Recovery Inc. (ERI), founded in 1992, has developed a method to make water desalination simpler and far more affordable – in some cases, less than $2 for every 1,000 gallons. Peak Oil And The Looming Energy Crisis - The world is rapidly approaching and may even have passed peak oil production. Given the lack of serious alternative energy production facilities in place, our reliance on coal and oil may well have very immediate and significant political, social and economic consequences. What is Peak Oil Production? This refers to the point where production of oil cannot meet demand, thereby causing a shortfall. This does not necessarily relate to the actual quantity of oil in the oil fields, but rather the rate at which it can be extracted and refined. The reality of Peak Oil is also unrelated to the origin of oil. There has been a debate running for some time as to the origin of oil. What Is Transformational Human Development? - Human Development describes the way people grow and change over their life span. Everyone who has a child is familiar with stages of child development. Babies start out helpless only able to cry and eventually move on to crawling, walking and talking. Transformational Human Development recognizes more than the physical, mental, and emotional stages. Transformational Human Development recognizes that development goes on throughout the life span. It includes spiritual development. It recognizes the extraordinary nature of cosmic energies that predispose and pressure you in ways that affect what you think and feel. Desalination Part 4 of 4: Measuring the Impact - Continued from Desalination Part 3: Getting Better All the Time... A bigger problem may be the leftover brine, which typically contains twice as much salt as seawater and is discharged back into the ocean. So far little scientific information exists about its long-term effects. In the past, most big seawater-desalination plants were built in places that did not conduct adequate environmental assessments, says Peter Gleick, president of the Pacific Institute, a think-tank based in California that published a report on desalination in 2006. But as plants are built in areas with tighter environmental restrictions, more information is becoming available. Some recent measurements from Perth are encouraging. Initially scientists from the Centre for Water Research feared that the brine discharge from the plant would increase the saltiness of the coastal environment. Desalination Part 2 of 4: No Salt, Please - Continued from Desalination Part 1: Tapping the Ocean This reduced the energy consumption of sugar refining by up to 80%, says James Birkett of West Neck Strategies, a desalination consultancy based in Nobleboro, Maine. But it took about 50 years for the idea to make its way from one industry to another. Only in the late 19th century did multi-effect evaporators for desalination begin to appear on steamships and in arid countries such as Yemen and Sudan. A few multi-effect distillation plants were built in the first half of the 20th century, but a flaw in the system hampered its widespread adoption.
