It then explains the anatomy of a dust explosion, highlighting the five necessary parameters. The presentation emphasizes understanding dust reactions and properties that influence explosivity. It also covers generating design data through testing, identifying explosive dusts, and engineering controls to eliminate explosion hazards. Prevention focuses on proper design, equipment, procedures, training, and emergency response.
Ozonators were mainly used in mid-sized to large boiling houses and heat factories. Furnace ozonators could potentially remove some pollutants from exhaust, including volatile organic compounds (50% reduction), carbon monoxide (80% reduction), and nitric oxides (90% reduction for NO and 80% reduction for NO2 when using a steam moisturizer). However, furnace ozonators would not remove other pollutants like carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, or sulphur oxides (except a potential 20% reduction of SO2 with steam).
Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) is a process that removes sulfur dioxide from flue gases of fossil fuel power plants and industrial boilers. There are three main types of FGD processes - wet, dry, and semi-dry. The most common FGD technology uses a limestone/gypsum wet-process. Currently in India, only 1% of coal-fired power plant capacity has installed the mandatory flue gas desulfurization equipment to control toxic sulfur dioxide emissions, despite an estimated investment requirement of over 80,000 crore rupees.
The document discusses Novec 1230 fluid and FM-200, clean agent fire suppression systems. It notes that clean agent systems are increasingly necessary to protect critical electronics from fire damage. It provides information on Novec 1230 fluid and FM-200, their environmental and safety benefits over other agents, their applications in places like data centers, and Gielle's engineered systems that use these agents.

Flue gas desulphurization detailed processmay021994
Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems use alkaline reagents like limestone or lime to scrub sulfur dioxide from flue gases through wet or dry scrubbing. In wet scrubbing, flue gases are sprayed with an alkaline slurry, while dry scrubbing injects a dry alkaline sorbent. Both reactions form solid compounds that are removed. FGD systems can achieve 50-98% SO2 removal depending on the technology and have moderate retrofitting difficulty, but also have high costs and generate waste products.
This document discusses the importance of humidity control and humidification. Maintaining proper humidity levels indoors is important for human comfort, equipment performance, and material preservation. Improper humidity can damage materials and equipment or cause discomfort. The document outlines key humidity concepts like relative humidity and dew point. It explains how humidification can enhance indoor environments while also saving energy by reducing moisture absorption from other sources.
PREVENT FIRES BEFORE THEY START:
All traditional fire fighting technologies or methods have the same problem in common, they are being used once the damage has occurred already. Whatever media is in use, foam, water mist, sprinklers, gas or water they are being activated or used after a fire has been detected. With the common and known methods fire is being fought only reactively. Often the damage caused by the extinguishing media is worse than the damage caused by the fire itself. Furthermore, there are many applications such as Data Centers, Server Rooms, Cold Stores, Paper Mills and many more where the usage of water or gas would be fatal in its consequence.

Exploring Innovation in Action: The Dimming of the Light Bulb
In the beginning….
God said let there be light. And for a long time this came from a rather primitive but surprisingly effective method – the oil lamp. From the early days of putting simple wicks into congealed animal fats, through candles to more sophisticated oil lamps, people have been using this form of illumination. Archaeologists tell us this goes back at least 40,000 years so there has been plenty of scope for innovation to improve the basic idea! Certainly by the time of the Romans, domestic illumination – albeit with candles – was a well-developed feature of civilised society.
Not a lot changed until the late eighteenth century when the expansion of the mining industry led to experiments with uses for coal gas – one of which was as an alternative source of illumination. One of the pioneers of research in the coal industry – Humphrey Davy – invented the carbon arc lamp and ushered in a new era of safety within the mines, but also opened the door to alternative forms of domestic illumination and the era of gas lighting began.
But it was not until the middle of the following century that researchers began to explore the possibilities of using a new power source and some new physical effects. Experiments by Joseph Swann in England and Moses Farmer in the USA (amongst others) led to the development of a device in which a tiny metal filament enclosed within a glass envelope was heated to incandescence by an electric current. This was the first electric light bulb – and it still bears more than a passing resemblance to the product found hanging from millions of ceilings all around the world.
By 1879 it became clear that there was significant commercial potential in such lighting – not just for domestic use. Two events occurred during that year which were to have far-reaching effects on the emergence of a new industry. The first was that the city of Cleveland – although using a different lamp technology (carbon arc) – introduced the first public street lighting. And the second was that patents were registered for the incandescent filament light bulb by Joseph Swann in England and one Thomas Edison in the USA.
Needless to say the firms involved in gas supply and distribution and the gas lighting industry were not taking the threat from electric light lying down and they responded with a series of improvement innovations which helped retain gas lighting’s popularity for much of the late nineteenth century. Much of what happened over the next 30 years is a good example of what is sometimes called the ‘sailing ship effect’. That is, just as in the shipping world the invention of steam power did not instantly lead to the disappearance of sailing ships but instead triggered a whole series of improvement in that industry, so the gas lighting industry consolidated its position through incremental product and process innovations.

From CO2 to Coal: Turning Back the ClockDon Basile
Over the much longer term, global warming could cause countless animal extinctions and even threaten the very existence of mankind itself. Thankfully, several leading solutions are being developed that could rewind the CO2 emissions clock. While scrubbing carbon dioxide from the air might seem impossible, it is very close to becoming a reality.

A SYSTEMATIC RISK ASSESSMENT APPROACH FOR SECURING THE SMART IRRIGATION SYSTEMSIJNSA Journal
The smart irrigation system represents an innovative approach to optimize water usage in agricultural and landscaping practices. The integration of cutting-edge technologies, including sensors, actuators, and data analysis, empowers this system to provide accurate monitoring and control of irrigation processes by leveraging real-time environmental conditions. The main objective of a smart irrigation system is to optimize water efficiency, minimize expenses, and foster the adoption of sustainable water management methods. This paper conducts a systematic risk assessment by exploring the key components/assets and their functionalities in the smart irrigation system. The crucial role of sensors in gathering data on soil moisture, weather patterns, and plant well-being is emphasized in this system. These sensors enable intelligent decision-making in irrigation scheduling and water distribution, leading to enhanced water efficiency and sustainable water management practices. Actuators enable automated control of irrigation devices, ensuring precise and targeted water delivery to plants. Additionally, the paper addresses the potential threat and vulnerabilities associated with smart irrigation systems. It discusses limitations of the system, such as power constraints and computational capabilities, and calculates the potential security risks. The paper suggests possible risk treatment methods for effective secure system operation. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes the significant benefits of implementing smart irrigation systems, including improved water conservation, increased crop yield, and reduced environmental impact. Additionally, based on the security analysis conducted, the paper recommends the implementation of countermeasures and security approaches to address vulnerabilities and ensure the integrity and reliability of the system. By incorporating these measures, smart irrigation technology can revolutionize water management practices in agriculture, promoting sustainability, resource efficiency, and safeguarding against potential security threats.

Optimizing Gradle Builds - Gradle DPE Tour Berlin 2024Sinan KOZAK
Sinan from the Delivery Hero mobile infrastructure engineering team shares a deep dive into performance acceleration with Gradle build cache optimizations. Sinan shares their journey into solving complex build-cache problems that affect Gradle builds. By understanding the challenges and solutions found in our journey, we aim to demonstrate the possibilities for faster builds. The case study reveals how overlapping outputs and cache misconfigurations led to significant increases in build times, especially as the project scaled up with numerous modules using Paparazzi tests. The journey from diagnosing to defeating cache issues offers invaluable lessons on maintaining cache integrity without sacrificing functionality.
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

2. The fire protection industry has gone through an evolutionary technology process during the last four decades. During my professional career I had the pleasure
and the privilege of being among the first to introduce these outstanding developments to the Italian fire fighting industry. The guiding theme for these develop-
ments has been the protection of people, buildings and goods in the most effective manner.
Until recently, our focus was to discover a fire as quickly as possible and to extinguish it effectively. Technological progress, careful and meticulous studies
during these decades made it possible to greatly reduce the risk of fires in general.
However, a new method, based on the depletion of Oxygen, has opened completely new venues for us. We are now able to create fully protected environments
and to completely eliminate the fire hazard by changing the atmosphere within a building by allowing full access to people at the same time.
It is a revolution that finally, after decades of refining and re-inventing fire extinguishing technology again and again, the same maybe obsolete in many cases.
Thanks to a radical change of perspective, we now eliminate the possibility of a fire to get started instead of thinking about how to fight the fire.
Full Prevention:
„the depletion of oxygen“
Ing. Leonardo Corbo
3. 3
All traditional fire fighting technologies or methods have the same problem in common, they are being used once the damage has occurred already. Whatever media
is in use, foam, water mist, sprinklers, gas or water they are being activated or used after a fire has been detected. With the common and known methods fire is being
fought only reactively. Often the damage caused by the extinguishing media is worse than the damage caused by the fire itself. Furthermore, there are many appli-
cations such as Data Centers, Server Rooms, Cold Stores, Paper Mills and many more where the usage of water or gas would be fatal in its consequence. Whenever
electricity comes into play the usage of water could end in a total disaster. Huge storages like cold store could not be flooded from a gas reservoir for example.
Isolcell aims to provide the optimal solution for most of the above-mentioned applications to ensure absolute security by simply making the development of a fire
impossible.
„Completely eliminating the fire hazard and safeguarding people, buildings and it‘s content is possible with Isolcell‘s N2
Firefighter oxygen depletion systems.“

We were the first in Europe who developed and applied a technique that allowed generating a Controlled Atmosphere within a building. In 1958 we started
studying these technologies and shortly after we created the first plants with a controlled atmosphere for preserving food. From here it was the logical consequence
to extend the field of usage into various industries where a controlled atmosphere was of advantage to the quality of goods and the process of manufacturing, from
pharmaceuticals to chemicals, from plastic moulding to oenology or laser cutting. But also for fire prevention or the conservation of artistic heritage.
In the field of Controlled Atmosphere Isolcell is acknowledged to be the world leader. As part of an industrial group that owns “Finanziara Unterland”, Isolcell S.p.A. is
being represented around the globe by a network of accredited distributors and resellers. Needless to say that we are ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OSHA 18001 certified
and that our range of products and systems naturally comply with the strictest European and International Directives.
We offer to our customers highly customized and reliable solutions based on state of the art technologies.

our story is closely linked to development of controlled atmosphere technologies.
our experience is our capital for steady improvements and for the creation of innovative technologies.
our solutions reflect the demands of the market and are reference for new technological standards.
6. The ‘80s
1980
Isolcell introduces the first combustion generator applied
with a decarbonizer downstream of the combustion process
of its ISOGEN nitrogen generators thus being able to produce
nitrogen without carbon dioxide resedues. This evolutionary
feature is an inherent part of all machines from now on and
as of it´s appreciation by customers world wide it will last to
end of the 90´s.
1982
In the USA a new technology based on the principal of mole-
cular separation of the air has been discovered. Isolcell are
the first to introduce this revolutionary technology to Europe
and creates the first N2 separator for molecular filtration by
using a hollow fiber nitrogen generator.
Isolcell are the first to introduce the ULO (ultra low oxygen)
method for the fruit conservation market. Compared to the
classic refrigeration conservation extremely low levels of
Oxygen now triple the shelf life of fresh fruit in cold stora-
ges. With the introduction of Personal Computers Isolcell are
the first to monitor, control and to manage A.C. plants fully
electronically.
After the appearance of the first publications about the effect
of ethylene gas on the aging process of fruit and vegetables
Isolcell starts producing its own range of chemical scrubbers
and catalytic ethylene generators.
1984
We are the first in the world to utilize the Controlled Atmo-
sphere Technologies in the fresh fruit maritime transport
industry. Isolcell starts producing the first molecular sieve
nitrogen generators with PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorbtion)
technology.
The ‘70s
1970
We refine our catalytic technology by increasing its efficiency
and we create an open cycle propane combustion, ISOGEN.
With this technology we are the first in Italy producing pre
fabricated steel-polyurethane-panels for the quick and easy
erection of cold stores with controlled atmosphere.
Simultaneously we develop an innovative acrylic resin with
unique characteristics, high elasticity, mechanical resistance,
and easy to apply to achieve gas impermeability. Isolcoat
is a well recognized and highly demanded sealant, even today.
1972
Isolcell develops the first state of the art ultrasonic paramagnetic
analyser for accurate measuring of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Isolcell introduces automation ofA.C.plants by the use of electro
mechanical programming boards.
The head quarter moves from Bolzano to Laives, our current
location.
1978
We are the first in Europe using a low oxygen level atmo-
sphere to
disinfect food without using chemicals.This method will evol-
ve to
become the worlds standard for ecological disinfections.
The ‘60s
1961
Isolcell presents exclusively the first adsorber for “carbon
dioxide in diethanolamine” automatically regenerated by
applying heat, produced by Hall Thermotank, UK. Two years
later we start manufacturing the adsorber under license. The
strong demand for our products encourages us to focus on
exports, and to conquer country by country throughout Euro-
pe. In 1963 we developed the first CO2 adsorber based on a
solution of potassium carbonate.
1965
In partnership with “Sulzer, Switzerland”, the first adsorber
for CO2 in Regenerated cold active carbons is being de-
veloped. This machine revolutionizes the CO2 adsorbtion
technology, its principal is still the basis for modern and up-
to-date scrubbers.
1969
Isolcell designs DEOXO, a combustion catalytic converter for
decreasing the O2 content in the fruit conservation cells.
The ‘50s
1958
Formation of Isolcell´s first head office in Bolzano, Italy.
In Trentino Alto Adige the first storages (cells) with controlled
atmosphere for apples and pears were created.The very first
gastight storages were fitted with bituminized aluminum foil,
glued onto polystyrene panels.
Isolcell introduces the technology for the manual Volumetric
Analysis of O2 and Co2 by the ORSAT method.
In 1960, absolute tightness of the refrigeration cells is being
achieved by the revolutionary method of using polyester resin
reinforced with fiberglass.
7. The ‘90s
1990
The outstanding success of our PSA systems encourages us
to re-design our product line making it modular and scalable.
For the innovative system of regenerating carbon dioxide ad-
sorbers with nitrogen we get a patent granted.
The State Monopoly chooses our technique and builds the
first plant for disinfecting tobacco environmentally friendly
by eliminating tobacco infesting parasites without the use of
chemicals.
1994
Another patent is being granted. Isolcell introduces the first
low pressure and low energy consuming VSA (Vacuum Swing
Adsorbtion) system.
We enter the wine industry by proposing our nitrogen gene-
rators.
1998
The new oxygen adsorber “Adox” is being developed and
patented.
It is the evolution of the VSA, a system that until today is
unbeaten in it´s energy efficiency. Wherever the oxygen level
needs to be lowered in conjunction with maximum efficiency
“Adox” is the preferred solution.
CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE SINCE 1958
2000
We extend the range of our ethylene adsorbers by developing
“DEOXYL L.E.” (Low Energy) in order to achieve maximum
energy efficiency an to reduce the amount of heat in the fruit
storage cells.
2001
For the archeological museum in Bolzano (Ötzi), Isolcell de-
velops the concept for the “full protection of historical and
artistic discoveries” and the first show room with protective
atmosphere emerges.
Beside the control of temperature, relative humidity and resi-
dual oxygen the content of dust and bacterial charge within
the show room can be reduced.
2003
In the field of fruit conservation Isolcell introduces and pa-
tents the concept of DCA (DynamicControlled Atmosphere) by
assessing fluorescence emissions, the spontaneous emissi-
on of light. We are selected to be the worldwide exclusive
partner of the Canadian Government for supplying this tech-
nology.
For the removal of CO2 the IS, Intelligent Scrubber, line is
being developed. Thus providing more performance and the
ability of maintaining so far unthinkable low levels of atmo-
sphere within the DCA storage. The Industry Division is born.
Further active carbon scrubbers are being developed.
2005
With the establishment of the “Fire Prevention Division” a
new area of application has been entered. The N2 Firefighter
system, a modular range of nitrogen generators, provides the
most efficient oxygen depletion method for protecting the en-
vironment, people and property from fire.
2009
After four years, going through tough certification processes,
the N2 Firefighter Technology is being recognized and certi-
fied according to the European Regulations. Isocell is being
acknowledged as a certified manufacturer and Installer for
fire prevention and security systems.
2012
Isolcell revolutionizes the fruit conservation market again by
introducing ECO, a high efficiency carbon dioxide adsorber.
Compared to previous generations it reduces the energy
consumption by 50%, its efficiency defines new standards
in the market. At the same time we lodge another patent,
with the “staggered counters operation method” that allows
partitioning within the PSA technology we reduce substanti-
ally the power consumption and achieve an improved flow
of nitrogen.

Treating and controlling the atmosphere has been our business for over 55 years. New techniques have been developed, outstanding innovations have paved our way.
The experience gained in over 55 years has inspired us to develop the „N2
Firefighter“ oxygen depletion fire prevention system which enables us to generate and to control
an atmosphere in which a fire cannot get started. „N2
Firefighter“ systems monitor, and through a natural filtration process, change the ration of gases normally present
in the air we breath, thus creating a perpetually self-extinguishing atmosphere. As no chemicals or other artificial additives are being added in this process this prevention
method is absolutely environmentally friendly and safe to human beings. Therefore you may call it: “Green technology”

All traditional and known fire-fighting methods have got one thing in common: they are passive and react only once the fire has started and the damage has occurred. What
the fire has not managed to destroy, huge amounts of water applied by hoses or by sprinkler systems will do. Gas extinguishing systems also depend on the fire to have
started before they can be activated.The release of the gas with extreme high pressures can cause structural damages to the building or to the protecting worth equipment,
the extinguishing media used can probably cause environmental damages or produce health and life threatening circumstances. Malfunction of the extinguishing system
can threaten people, cause loss of production, loss of clients and subsequently loss of the business. Therefore: “Prevention” is the better method. It is always active, it does
not need to react.
The „N2 Firefighter“ system completely eliminates the fear of fire, as the environment created
does not allow a fire to get started from the very beginning.

Concept
The generated and controlled atmosphere makes a fire impossible
For a fire to ignite three elements are needed: Heat, combustibles and an oxidizing agent, usually oxygen. When these elements are present and in the right mixture a natural
fire will occur.
A fire can be prevented or extinguished by removing any one of these elements. Once a fire has started, the exothermic chain reaction sustains the fire and allows it to continue
until or unless at least one of the elements of the fire is blocked.Traditional fire fighting methods either deny the burning fire the oxygen it needs or they lower the temperature
of the fuel below the ignition point or by creating a barrier of inert gases thus attacking the chemical reaction responsible for the fire.
With the „N2
Firefighter“ we actively prevent the combustion process to get started by uninterruptedly reducing the amount of oxygen.

When we talk about the air we breath we often and falsely talk about oxygen. In fact, the air we breath consists of 78,08 Vol.% of nitrogen und only 20,95 Vol.% of oxygen
(0,93 Vol.% Argon and 0,04 Vol.% CO2). This ratio between nitrogen and oxygen is the same all over the world, high up in the mountains or low down at the sea. The food
every fire needs to burn is the oxygen supplied by nature. By modifying the atmosphere and changing the ration between these to ingredients N2 Firefighter denies the fire
enough “food” to get established. The changed ratio has got the equivalent effect to human beings as a stay in high altitude or when travelling by plane as the lower air
pressure drives the molecules apart and the amount of oxygen inhaled with every breath is less than in lower atmospheres.

Patent N. EP0880903-A1
Using special self-generating filters, with the ADOX N2FF, Isolcell has developed a modular system for gaining nitrogen
in a most ecological and very low energy consuming process. The ratio between O2 and N2 in the air of the area to be
protected is being changed without using additives. The result is “air”, odorless, colorless clean and fresh, except it does
not allow a fire to develop.
Adox, a patented system, was designed for heavy duty usage (24/7/365) being extremely moderate in energy consump-
tion at the same time, thus being benchmark in its economy for nitrogen self-producers.

In opposite to conventional oxygen control systems where the O2 content of a protected area is
solely measured along the outside walls, Isolcell N2Firefighter uses the variable pitch and virtual
grid method. This method delivers the most accurate and most reliable measurements possible
as the protected volume is being divided into virtual cubes and the oxygen is being analyzed and
controlled throughout the whole area at different heights, lengths and widths. (see illustration )
At the same time, the nitrogen will not be delivered into the area by a single or double point only
but through a “T-connected” distribution network. The “T” points of the N2 pipe work equipped
with automatic valves are controlled by the CIE (Control Indicating Equipment) that monitors and
manages each component of the N2Firefighter prevention system.
