Ripstop nylon is a light-weight nylon fabric with inter-woven ripstop reinforcement threads in a crosshatch pattern. The material comes in many different colors and sizes, including thickness. It is woven with coarse, strong warp and filling yarns spaced at intervals so that tears will not spread. Ripstop nylon produced for various purposes may be waterproof, water resistant, fire resistant, or have zero porosity(will not allow air or water through), and can come in light, medium and heavy weights. Textures range from a soft and silk-like material to a crisp or stiff fabric that sounds like a paper bag when moved. 6, record 2, English, - ripstop

The existing plant is equipped with four Babcock & Wilcox once-through oil-fired supercritical boilers. Three of the units will be converted to coal, while the fourth will be dismantled. The [Torrevaldaliga oil to coal] conversion project’s main elements are: - ... construction of a sea port for coal and lime unloading and for ash and gypsum loading; construction of closed storage and handling equipment for coal, lime, gypsum and ash; and installation of zero liquid discharge equipment. 1, record 4, English, - zero%20liquid%20discharge%20equipment

Installing an Ionics RCC Zero Liquid Discharge system was ... the needed solution to address the Jacksonville, Florida community’s environmental concerns around building the 250 MW [coal-fired cogeneration] plant. A membrane-based process (RO) was used to preconcentrate the plant’s wastewater, thus minimizing the feed volume to the Ionics RCC Evaporators. The RO product water is returned to the cooling tower for makeup and the RO reject is fed to two Ionics RCC Brine Concentrators which recover the feed as high quality distillate for additional makeup. Subsequently, the evaporator brine is concentrated in a 50 gpm Ionics RCC Crystallizer, producing dry solids for disposal. Total water recovery from the zero liquid discharge system is 98%. 3, record 4, English, - zero%20liquid%20discharge%20equipment
