English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
  • Research Experiments in Space
OBS

The Astro/PGBA [Astro/plant generic bioprocessing apparatus] experiment hardware is contained in a double locker that will be installed into the EXPRESS Rack after the Shuttle is in orbit. The hardware consists of a plant growth chamber with a 10-inch by 12-inch growth area that allows 10 inches of plant height and 2 inches of roots. Fluorescent or LEO lighting will simulate sunlight, and an atmospheric control system will maintain set levels of carbon dioxide and humidity while scrubbing volatile organic compounds, such as ethylene, that can accumulate and inhibit plant growth. Plant transpiration water, collected from a dehumidifier system, can be recirculated back into the root matrix. A computer system will control experiment operations and provide engineering and video data for downlink to investigators on the ground.

OBS

The PGBA has successfully supported plant experiments that examine changes in plant lignification and related downstream biochemical consequences, especially production of secondary metabolites.

OBS

astro/plant biogeneric processing apparatus: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

The highly-integrated complex makes ExxonMobil the single largest investor on Jurong Island and Singapore's biggest foreign investor. It is now supplying petrochemical products to the marketplace. Singapore Chemical Complex has four plants designed to deliver a wide range of petrochemical products to its customers. Its centrepiece is an 800, 000-ton-per-year steam cracker, which produces ethylene, propylene and other products for several downstream chemical plants in and around Singapore. Other features of the facility includes a polyethylene plant, the largest single reactor of its type in the world, a polypropylene plant, an oxo-alcohol plant and a cogeneration unit which provides power to both the refinery and the chemical plant.

Subject field(s)
  • Water Supply
CONT

Monitoring of water quality during capital and maintenance dredging with a cutterhead dredge in the Bécancour harbour between 1983 and 1984 showed that the critical suspended solids concentration threshold of 100 mg/L was rarely exceeded close to the raw water intake of the Gentilly nuclear power plant 1 km downstream.
