Why do so many specifiers and businesses not replace old inefficient oil boilers with modern high-efficiency LPG boilers?
Historically there have been a number of reasons. However, there have never been so many financial, social and operational benefits that an LPG heating solution can now offer, over oil.
Keith Higginson, Calor’s commercial marketing manager, suggests that LPG could now be the most viable heating fuel for rural businesses.
Calor is on a mission to set the story straight for LPG by revealing its advantages over oil, to off-mains gas businesses. Any business or heating consultant intent on reducing heating costs and lowering carbon output need look no further than the cost effective, environmentally friendly option of a modern LPG-based heating system.
"Thanks to recent developments in technology certain LPG boilers solutions can now offer much higher ‘heating system’ efficiencies, and therefore, greater savings than new oil boilers," he said. "Before we consider these, let’s first tackle some of the reasons why LPG has too easily been dismissed in favour of oil.
"Calor’s experience suggests that LPG has often not been the specifier’s first option when considering replacements options for an existing oil boiler. As a consequence LPG’s benefits are not even considered or compared. We have also found that when LPG was
given consideration, it was regularly dismissed based on historical views about the product, rather than the modern energy solution
that Calor can now offer.

The document summarizes a case study of obtaining an air permit for a new natural gas-fired power block at an existing power plant facility. It describes identifying the project, applicable air permitting regulations, unique solutions to air permitting issues like modeling for particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide standards, and an 18 month timeline. Key lessons learned include planning ahead, developing an air quality modeling protocol early, and identifying emissions reduction credits upfront.
The document summarizes guidance from the EPA and state regulatory agencies on the process of inter-precursor trading (IPT) for ozone precursors nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). IPT allows emissions offsets between NOx and VOCs since both contribute to ozone formation. The guidance outlines tiered screening and modeling approaches to determine area-specific or case-specific IPT ratios. A case study demonstrates how different ratios can result from EPA versus state guidance. Key differences that impact projects are highlighted. Planning ahead and understanding facility profiles and credit sources is advised.
The document provides an overview of air quality regulations applicable to the oil and natural gas industry, including:
1) Federal regulations like NSPS Subparts OOOO, OOOOa, and NESHAP Subparts HH cover emission sources like well completions, compressors, storage vessels, and glycol dehydrators.
2) Pennsylvania regulations require air permits for construction or modification of sources and exemptions like exemption 38 for certain oil and gas facilities. General permits like GP-5 cover natural gas compression facilities.
3) The presentation discusses upcoming changes like EPA's information collection request and Pennsylvania's proposed GP-5A to replace exemption 38 and potential revisions to existing GP-5.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
