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.

OBS

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%.

OBS

Infilco Degremont’s Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) System integrates water, wastewater and chemical management programs within a power plant. All plant wastewater streams are incorporated, essentially "closing the loop."

The heart of Russia's power system is its Science Power Platform. It ultimately will have eight solar array wings with a span about 100 ft. They will be attached to the top of one of two segments that will form a tower some 26-ft tall. The complete assembly will be mounted on the top port at the Service Module's aft end. In addition to the solar array wings, the Science Power Platform will be equipped with radiators, pressurized storage space, and thrusters to aid in Service Module roll control. Attached to one of the Platform segments will be the European Robotic Arm and its transport trolley.

Usachev and Voss moved a docking cone from storage and installed it in the lower port hatch during the 19-minute procedure, which lasted half as long as expected. The move was required before the Zvezda module can mate with a Russian docking module, which is expected to arrive in August or September. Later on, the docking equipment will help connect a Russian science lab to the modular complex, which resembles a string of giant tin cans linked together like sausages.

CONT

The primary function of a port grain terminal is either to load or unload ships, depending on whether it is an export or an import facility. In transshipment facilities, both functions are involved. Regardless of the type of terminal, however, the emphasis is on throughput. Storage capacity is incidental and can normally be limited to the minimum required to eliminate interruptions in the transshipment function. Other factors of course can have a bearing on storage capacity, such as the existence of local onshore markets or anticipated lengthy delays in ship movement. The geographical location of the terminal will determine which of these or other factors must be considered.

Un silo portuaire est principalement conçu pour charger ou décharger les bateaux, selon qu'il sert aux activités d'exportation ou aux activités d'importation. Les silos de transbordement servent aux deux types d'activité. Quel que soit le genre de silo, la capacité de traitement demeure le facteur primordial. La capacité de stockage n'a qu'une importance secondaire et peut normalement être restreinte au minimum requis pour assurer un transbordement ininterrompu. Il existe certes d'autres facteurs susceptibles d'influer sur la capacité de stockage, notamment l'existence de marchés à proximité ou encore de longs retards anticipés dans le mouvement des bateaux. L'emplacement géographique du silo déterminera lequel de ces deux facteurs, ou d'autres facteurs, doit être pris en considération.

Basic system operation and performance allow for the processing of contaminated JP-5 fuel that consists of any combination of particulates, water, and aviation fuel. Contaminated fuel is loaded into the process tank via a defueler truck used to collect the segregated JP-5 from squadron hazardous waste storage sites. The fuel is circulated at 15 gpm through the system until it is determined to be visually clean via a sampling port. A gravity drain valve allows for the discharge of wastewater stripped from the fuel during circulation. Depending on the level of particulate contamination, the fuel may be considered clean(less than 2mg/1 particulates, less than 5ppm free water) after one pass through the system or several. A sample of the fuel is then sent to the laboratory for further testing, especially with respect to the flash point. The system can only remove water and particulates.
