  • Biogas: The Renewable Answer To The Fuel Crisis
    By: Danny Miller Hamilton | - Biogas is a form of biofuel that utilizes a system of collecting waste from agricultural sources and processing them to produce a mixture of methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3). Utilising the process of anaerobic digestion, otherwise known as fermentation, waste is left to decompose artificially (with an airtight digester tank) or naturally (in landfills). The gases generated from this system are harvested as Biogas. The converted raw material is as comb ...

  • Precaution Against Mine Gas
    By: tom d. mary | - For every ton of coal removed from the working face, anything up to 200 m3 (7000 ft3) of mine gas is released; the average amount in the Ruhr coal-mining district is 30 m3 (about 1000 ft3). This gas consists of hydrocarbons, chiefly methane (CH4) and is known as firedamp, more particularly when it occurs in an explosive mixture with air (when the gas concentration in the air is between 4.5 and 14.5%). Methane is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas.

  • The Harms Of Greenhouse Effect
    By: Chenxia Wang | - Greenhouse effect is mainly caused by excessive burning of coal, petroleum and natural gas, as well as the large number of exhaust emissions in modern industrial society. After being burnt, these fuels will release a lot of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which will then lead to greenhouse effect.

    Greenhouse effect brings a lot of harms to human world, mainly as follows:
    First of all, it leads to the change of the climate and causes global warming. The assessment report fr ...

  • Isn't The Whole World Our Environment?
    By: Knight Pierce Hirst | - The orangutans in Borneo are in danger of extinction. Although in 2010 it's estimated there are 11,000, they could be gone in 60 years because of inbreeding and loss of habitat. The long-term solution is reforestation. Forests have been cut for development, logging and palm oil plantations, isolating groups of orangutans on opposite sides of rivers. Because finding new mates will increase the species chances for survival, old fire hoses have been slung across rivers or used to make bridges. Oran ...

    By: Conspec Controls | - Natural gas from the Marcellus Shale is a potentially vast energy resource and there are many reasons for tapping the natural gas in the shale. The supply of natural gas in the United States is more reliable than imported fossil fuels and the delivery system is less subject to interruption. Natural gas has a high energy content (about 30 kJ/m3 [1000 Btu/ft3]). It is efficient and clean burning, emitting approximately half the carbon dioxide (CO2) than that emitted by coal burning, as well as low ...

  • Gas Detectors: A Way To Save Your Building
    By: Aditi Pareek | - A gas detector is a device which detects the presence of various gases within an area, usually as prototype of a system to inform about gases which might be harmful to inhabitants or animals. Sometimes there can be any type of leakage in gas cylinders which are dangerous for humans as well as animals. To effect rid of this problem or to detect if there is any sort of gas leakage, gas detectors are very helpful.

    The advance detection today consists of censors and distinguishes the l ...

  • What Are Top Three Uses Of Unconventional Gas
    By: Santee Jordan | -
    Unconventional GasUnconventional gas, in essence, is the exact same as conventional gas, and is therefore used in the same ways. The major difference between traditional gasoline and unconventional gas is in the way it's harvested.

    Unconventional gas is only deemed unconventional due to the areas in which it's found. Numerous times, it is from areas which up until recently were too expensive to mine from. In numerous cases as well, what's now 'conventional' gas, was at one time ...

  • Monitoring Plant And Stack Emission
    By: John Morris | - Historically, combustion exhaust is analysed for species such as O2, SO2, CO2, CO, total hydrocarbons, NO, and NO2 using multiple single gas analysers. These individual analysers have a high initial cost, continuing maintenance cost and cannot measure wet sample streams, so sample condition systems must be installed to remove moisture. The conditioning process can affect the measurement quality and remove compounds of interest.

    In addition, current combustion analysers cannot mon ...

  • Why Gas Detection And Gas Monitoring Are Crucial
    By: Gateway Fasteners | - Coal-fired power plants and co-generation power plants rely on coal-burning facilities. CO and methane are two combustible gases that are byproducts of coal. Thus, to prevent fire or explosion, power plants using coal should have in place an integrated CO gas detection/gas monitoring and control system, to warn of potential fire in coal-handling facilities. When CO levels increase, there may be danger of fire or explosion. And since CO is a tasteless, odorless gas, a good risk management plan fo ...

  • Biogas And Issues Which Arise In Its Production
    By: Steve D Evans | - Biogas production is achieved as the result of the controlled microbial breakdown of organic materials such as animal manures or food scraps in an anaerobic digester. An anaerobic digester is the name of the plant that makes the gas and is operated at a controlled temperature, pH and loading rate to encourage the growth of microorganisms that eat the organic matter and produce biogas and a more biologically stable liquid effluent.

    Biogas is a mixture of about 60-70% methane (natu ...

  • Asian Coal-bed Methane Brews As A Potential Hot Energy Play
    By: Dolly Tayal | - Massive stores of methane gas buried deep inside Asia's coal beds could be shaping up as the next hot energy play.

    Trillions of cubic meters of clean-burning methane are trapped in Asia's coal deposits. The gas -- which produces lower levels of air pollution and carbon emissions than oil or coal -- could be used to meet some of the region's huge power needs. Merrill Lynch says China alone holds nearly 30 trillion cubic meters of methane gas, about three times the U.S. amount.
