    Hydrogen/ oxygen added thru electrolisys, on board generator

    Greg, I am the author of some of the papers. Hydrogen will increase fuel economy. Why do you think there is so much interest in a hydrogen economy. It's not for reducing CO2 emissions if you are going to make H2 through steam reforming CH4. You still have to do something with the CO2...

    Fuel warming for fuel economy

    Blob97, In order for fuel to combust it must be in a gaseous state. If you have every conducted a flammability test you will immediately realize this. The Holy Grail for any Internal Combustion Engine would be to convert all of the fuel to syngas prior to combustion without forming tar, gums...

    Diesel fuel/air ratio

    TDIRS1, Your answer is simple. It is the LEL and UEL of a diesel and air mixture; LEL = .6% UEL= 7.5% see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosive_limit If you are going to conduct any R&D with flammables you better know the LEL and UEL with respect to the oxidizer. 70 or 90% Hydrogen...

    Hydrogen/ oxygen added thru electrolisys, on board generator

    gpara, The focused R&D in your area of concern is for generation of hydrogen for direct injection into exhaust to reduce NOx. Some individuals are claiming MPG gain when injected or blended with diesel prior to combustion. Yes, you will increase MPG due to the LEL and UEL of hydrogen. You can...

    Heavies conditioning for gasification

    PB500, Your major gasification problem will be formation of tars and plugging. For more information see: www.plasmawhirl.com Todd www.oxilume.com

    Flare Location Rules

    Stonecold, At current Henry Hub prices you will be flaring or wasting about $240 of fuel per day. Of course that is for 24/7 operations. Here is a suggestion. I'll provide you a PlasmaWhirl at NO COST for a one year demonstration. You decide what to do with the hydrogen. Buy a fuel cell...

    Vacuum Pumps

    SeanB, pmover recommended using an ejector. This is a step in the right direction. However, use an eductor with a low HP exposion proof pump and you have a simple system that is virually maintenance free. The condensible vapors will be condensed by the motive fluid. The non-condensible...

    CH4 destruction

    Ivanrave, You can also generate electricity or steam by using the methane as fuel for the generator or boiler. Todd www.oxilume.com

    Call for treatment options for pond-to-potable water supply

    Hoagie, Before running down the road and using storm water runoff, you should wait until the LT2 treatment regulations are published in October or November. The new cryptosporidium regulations in combination with an analysis of the pond water will determine which "bin" the Drinking Water...

    Other chemicals need when using ozone or bromine/bleach treatment

    Brian, Covering the cooling tower does not always require an extra chiller. At Henry Hub we used large tarps until the engineers designed a cover. Costs for an ArcWhirl or PlasmaWhirl system vary. See: www.plasmawhirl.com It is based mostly on pressure requirements. My partner is the owner...

    CH4 destruction

    Ivanrave, UV photolysis is not suitable for methane destruction. Methane is a great greenhouse gas. It absorbs IR like a sponge. However, if you desire to NOT FLARE because of permitting and emissions, then you are left with only a few options options: (1) cleanup the methane to pipeline...

    Surface water - ntu's allowed?

    Pump 2005, The "new" LT2 rule for drinking water has not been promulgated yet by the EPA. It should be out in October or November. The LT2 rule addresses cryptosporidium with regards to methods of treatment, such as filtration, UV, ozone, etc. You will have to know what bin you fall in, in...

    Chlorine, Chlorine dioxide, Bromine, Bleach or Ozone

    Brian, You can see pictures of the PlasmaWhirl and ArcWhirl at: www.plasmawhirl.com The city of Houston is looking at the system for treating storm water runoff. (200 million gallons per day). Todd Todd www.oxilume.com

    Chlorine, Chlorine dioxide, Bromine, Bleach or Ozone

    Brian, Contrary to BIMR's comment about UV lights, a well designed UV light system can control microorganism growth in cooling towers. However, at a recirc rate of 60,000 gpm, capital expense may be prohibitive for using low pressure high output or medium pressure mercury vapor lamps. If you...

    Other chemicals need when using ozone or bromine/bleach treatment

    Brian, Cover your cooling tower and install UV lights. I worked for the 2 largest chemical companies selling biocides, chlorine dioxide, corrosion inhibitors, etc. for cooling towers, boilers, etc. Whenever a customer wanted to get off of "Chlorine" my first recommendation was to cover the...
