THIS PROPOSAL PRESENTS A CONCEPT FOR A CHEMICAL MONITOR BASED ON DIFFERENTIAL CATALYTIC REACTIVITIES AND LARGE REACTION EXOTHERMICITIES. THE SIMPLICITY OF THE PROPOSED SENSOR CONCEPT PROMISES AN ECONOMIC AND RELIABLE MONITOR FOR IN-SITU MEASUREMENT OF A VARIETY OF GASES. IN THIS PROJECT, ENVIROCHEM, INC., WILL INVESTIGATE THE APPLICATION OF THIS CONCEPT FOR MEASURING AMMONIA IN FLUE GASES. A SENSI ...

FOSTER-MILLER PROPOSES TO UTILIZE SCRAP PREPREG WASTE AS A REINFORCEMENT IN RECYCLED POLYETHYLENE. BY REINFORCING RECYCLED PLASTICS SUCH AS POLYETHYLENE WITH SCRAP PREPREG AND SUITABLE BINDERS, AN ECONOMICAL USEFUL PRODUCT CAN BE OBTAINED. AT THE SAME TIME, THIS INNOVATION WILL ALSO HELP TO REDUCE 2.5 MILLION POUND/YR OF HAZARDOUS WASTE -- UNCURED PREPREG SCRAP. FOSTER-MILLER IS WORKING WITH A COM ...

RESEARCH WILL BE CONDUCTED BY HICHEM CORPORATION, TO DEVELOP A NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR PYROLYSIS OF SCRAP TIRES. DISPOSAL OF USED TIRES IS A BIG PROBLEM IN THE WORLD, ESPECIALLY USA, SINCE MORE THAN 2.5 MILLION TIRES ARE DISCARDED EACH YEAR. MOST OF THESE TIRES ARE DISPOSED IN LANDFILLS. PYROLYSIS OF SCRAP TIRES HELPS TO RECOVER AND REUSE MOST OF THE VALUABLE CHEMICAL AVAILABLE IN TIRES. PYROLYSIS OF S ...

PROTECTION OF GROUND-WATER AND MARINE WATERS IS A COMPLEX ISSUE AND A VITAL PUBLIC CONCERN. ONCE CONTAMINATED,IT CAN BE TECHNICALLY DIFFICULT AND ENORMOUSLY EXPENSIVE TO CLEAN UP. ONE WAY TO PROTECT THESE WATERS FROM CONTAMINATION IS THOUGH THE CONTROL OF INDUSTRIAL DISCHARGES. OFTEN THOUGH, CONTROL PROCESSES ARE NOT PRACTICAL IN TREATING HIGH FLOW RATES OR THOSE WITH RELATIVELY LOW CONTAMINANT CO ...

Continuous emission monitoring (CEM) systems to record the discharge ofpollutants have become an integral part of utility power and industrial processplant operations. The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) require that specificsources install and operate CEMs to provide an accurate measurement of SO2, NOx,CO2, and opacity. Emission data is used to insure compliance with current acidrain regul ...
