Webinar - Technologies for the Electromagnetic Processing of Materials - Ener...Leonardo ENERGY
The webinar demonstrates how electromagnetic processing of materials (EPM) provides significant opportunities for saving primary energy and reducing carbon emissions in industrial thermal processes. Potentially electricity can replace up to 100% of other energy carriers currently used for process heat. For the time horizon from now to the year 2050 transition scenarios are developed and described where the industrial processes are gradually switched from the actual situation to a situation with 100% electrically operated processes. As the average primary energy factor (PEF) gradually decreases from 2.5 currently, to 1 for a 100% renewable electricity system, the benefits of EPM will gradually increase. For each step in the development of the PEF the annual primary energy savings and annual reductions in greenhouse gas emissions will be described.

The presentation is intended to give an insight into the overall project and the technical challenges associated with the £3.7million electrical and lighting refurbishment contract at Erskine Bridge:
As an introduction Louis will provide some background into the project and justification for the decision to go ahead with the LED replacement and inclusion of the CMS system.
He will then highlight some of the technical challenges which had to be addressed, the solutions which were developed, and explain the reasoning behind some of the decisions taken. This will include elements of the DSEAR Regulations and the need to consider the internal bridge structure as a hazardous area. He will also discuss elements of the buildability issues which were encountered and the development of bespoke products (column baseplates, Aircraft Navigation Lights etc.) which had to integrate with the existing bridge structure and the importance of consideration of safe methods of working at the design and planning stage, and the benefits of implementing these methods when it came to construction stage.
Louis will then describe and discuss the various elements of the construction and handover phases, leading to successful completion of the project.

Amey PLC has recently completed the core investment programme for Sheffield PFI.
One of the challenges for Amey was the inclusion of about 30 famous listed sewer lanterns and lighting columns distributed throughout the city that were in varying stages of decay. Not only were the columns listed but the residents were fiercely protective of their architectural history and in some cases, had taken charge of the asset themselves.
So, what’s the problem then? Replacement lanterns and a lick of paint should do the trick.
Unfortunately, there was no available electrical supply to most of the columns as most of them were connected to the gas grid, about three still worked.
Though the lighting designs did not rely on the sewer lanterns for light distribution, some vociferous residents had been misinformed that they were going to be replaced with modern LED lanterns and naturally were very concerned as to their impact on the environment.
The costs and associated disruption of connecting electricity supplies to some architecturally sensitive areas together with gas supply company’s concerns in maintaining a safe supply on the street meant an innovative approach had to be taken. This project was originally given to the Electrical Engineering faculty of Sheffield University who were unable to develop a workable solution. Jonathan Skill of Amey then approached Pudsey Diamond Engineering Ltd to see whether their recently solar bollard technology could be adapted and incorporated into the sewer gas lantern to allow the lanterns to be in light.
This was a very significant challenge. English Heritage were concerned that the exterior of the lanterns were not to be altered and further, the lanterns were to be reworked where possible, repaired and not replaced with replicas.
The authors of this paper will explore the significant challenges presented with the audience and demonstrate how leading edge technology of 3D printed gas mantles combined with LED modules driven from innovative and unique solar capture units with energy storage using lithium iron batteries within the lantern allowed this project to be delivered to the satisfaction of English Heritage and the residents of Sheffield.

Coal is composed primarily of carbon along with variable quantities of other elements, chiefly hydrogen, sulphur, oxygen, nitrogen. Ultimate analysis is also known as elemental analysis, it is the method to determine the Carbon,Hydrogen,Nitrogen,Sulphur and Oxygen content present in solid fuel.

Coal is composed primarily of carbon along with variable quantities of other elements, chiefly hydrogen, sulphur, oxygen, nitrogen. Ultimate analysis is also known as elemental analysis, it is the method to determine the Carbon,Hydrogen,Nitrogen,Sulphur and Oxygen content present in solid fuel.
this presentation deals with the types, formation, depletion, conservation of coal. it also includes the various advantages and disadvantages of it. other sources of energy are also include.
All of us want an affordable and reliable energy source which we can only get by using coal energy. Although using coal energy is very significant for us and living without it would become impossible, we should always open our minds to the damage the continuous use of coal energy will eventually bring to us and to our environment.
Webinar: 'Applying carbon capture and storage to a Chinese steel plant.' Feas...Global CCS Institute
The Global CCS Institute has recently published a feasibility study report on applying carbon capture and storage (CCS) to a steel plant in China. Toshiba was commissioned to conduct the study in collaboration with Chinese corporations.
The feasibility suggests that carbon capture in Chinese steel plants is a cost effective means of reducing carbon emissions compared with similar plants around the world. In this webinar, Toshiba presented on the major findings of this feasibility study.
