This document discusses the conditions needed to fulfill offshore project finance for renewable energy projects. It addresses how levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and internal rate of return (IRR) can evolve from pilot to commercial-scale projects. The main points discussed are how risk mitigation and access to public financing can be leveraged to optimize project finance structures and lower LCOE. Examples from the UK and Europe show how IRR has fallen for offshore wind projects, contributing to a decrease in LCOE. The appropriate IRR requirements to launch the first floating offshore wind projects are also considered.

This document discusses how to optimize the development and structuring of offshore wind farms (OWFs) in order to minimize costs. It examines different spatial planning and development processes used in Europe. The optimal process balances minimizing development risks and contingencies during the tender with efficient timelines between tender award and final investment decision. Processes that involve securing permits after the tender carry more risk, while those involving preliminary technical studies before the tender help reduce development timelines and costs. The document analyzes examples from France, the Netherlands, Denmark, and the UK to determine the most effective approach.

Indonesian ports saw container handling increase from 8.8 million TEU in 2009 to a forecasted 17.2 million TEU in 2015 and 26 million TEU in 2020, with Tanjung Priok port expected to increase from 3.9 million TEU handled in 2009 to 7.7 million TEU in 2015 and 11.4 million TEU in 2020. This growth will require investments of $731 million by 2015 and $610 million by 2020 to expand port capacity and hinterland connections as container traffic increases exponentially. Proper coordination of various stakeholders across different levels of government and sectors is needed to integrate plans for water management, land use, transport, traffic, and port development to accommodate the rising demand.
The document discusses cautious investment strategies for container terminals given economic uncertainty. It suggests that ports optimize their existing infrastructure through low-cost practices to prepare for potential growth. Specifically, it recommends that ports (1) combine inbound and outbound container movements in one quay cycle to improve equipment productivity, and (2) pre-marshal containers to minimize rehandling and free up space for more productive activities. Overall, the document advises ports to practice for busy days through infrastructure optimization rather than large investments, in case economic recovery does not materialize or sustain.
The document discusses port congestion issues facing cruise ports in Canada, New England, and Atlantic Canada.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
