Dear All:

I recently received in the mail a disc from the
Natural Resources Board of Canada with a lot of software such as
energy model
cost analysis
GHG analysis
Financial Summary
Weather Data
Product Data
Technology Guide
Training Course

I have only looked at it briefly but it seems to be
a useful analysis tool for many things....

Check it out at

The focus seems to be particularly strong on wind,
but there are links to all other energy technologies as well.

Yours
truly,

Dear All:

I just checked the State of the Art for

STATE OF THE ART REPORT ON GASIFICATION TECHNOLOGY

www.me.iitb.ac.in/garp

and it seems to be working fine. It lists 51 papers by me when I was at
NREL and is a better listing that I have.

Wish all the papers were now available there. I'd like to suggest to Prof.
Parikh that she put the list of biomass properties prepared by Channiwalla
for his 1992 thesis also on this site, since it is one of the most complete
list of proximate and ultimate analyses available. (I reprinted it with a
few additions as the appendix of our book on thermogravimetric analyses
"Thermal Data for Natural and Synthetic Fuels", Dekker Press).

Thanks again Prof. Parikh...

Yours truly, TOM REED GASIFICATION

Call for Papers

The 1st INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM on
PROCESS INTENSIFICATION AND MINIATURISATION
(PIM-1)

August 18-21, 2003

University of Newcastle, UK

BACKGROUND

Process Intensification and Miniaturisation (PIM) are emerging as important
components of sustainable technologies in biological, chemical,
environmental and energy conversion technologies. The attributes of process
intensification are now accepted widely by industry and policy makers.

Innovations in PIM require an inter-disciplinary research approach. The aim
of the Symposium is to bring together industrialists and academics from
various disciplines to create an environment of cross-fertilisation and review
recent progress in the intensification of biological, chemical, environmental
and energy conversion processes.

The first international symposium on the science, engineering and technology
of intensive processing was held at Nottingham University-UK, during 18-
20 September 1995. Selected papers from that symposium were published
in a special topic issue of Chemical Engineering Research and Design
(Vol.74, No A5, 1996) in order to provide the scientific bases of the PIM
technology. The scope of the present PIM symposium reflects the enormous
progress made since then.

VENUE

PIM-1 will be held in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom. Newcastle is
the Capital of the Province of Northumberland and located at the North East
Coast of England, with about 3 million inhabitants. Newcastle lies at the
heart of the ancient kingdom of Northumbria, renowned for its glorious
unspoilt countryside and rich heritage.

Newcastle has a deserved reputation for being one of the friendliest and
liveliest cities in Europe. It's vibrant and cosmopolitan, with much to offer
people of all ages and backgrounds. In recent years it's been voted the 'best
city in the UK to visit' and 'Party City of Europe'. The city is on the main
London-Edinburgh train line, has its own international airport and links via
North Shields Ferry Terminal to Scandinavia and The Netherlands.

SCOPE

Original and unpublished papers describing current research on Process
Intensification and Miniaturisation from fundamental sciences to applied
technologies are hereby solicited. General Process Intensification and
Miniaturisation papers in biological, chemical, environmental and energy
conversion are also welcome. Those pertaining to integration, modelling,
control of intensified and miniaturised processes, novel equipment and
miniaturised system fabrication are also appropriate. Some key areas of the

Also -- a fine "tutor" of how to use the power of I-view at:

http://www.teachers-connect.net/misc/quest/infanv/irfanv.htm

All "engineers" should be interested in proper graphic file management --
as in scanning from scanner to a file that is 100 kb rather than 2 megs
bytes -- and looks even better.

Especially when communicating with countries not so endowed with unlimited
super fast email connections.

I can stress the need of proper graphic file management enough!! And I-view
is the absolute best!

Written by this man:

Irfan Skiljan
Postfach 48

Austria, Europe

And its "FreeWare" -- but be generous -- donagte some funds to keep this
guy going further in graphic file management!!

Why "engineers" like it -- simple -- it is 10 times faster thahn anything
else out there -- and does the same or better. Is not "bloatware" -- and
does not grab computer resources.

..many ways to skin this cat. ;-)

..it just needs to be _done_, one way or another.
Leaving the gif's as is, without an lzw compression license
agreement of some sort with Unisys, _is_ criminal.

..Unisys takes 5000 US$ per website under
"License Information on GIF and Other LZW-based Technologies"
http://www.unisys.com/unisys/lzw/ and
"Web Site LZW Licenses Available from Unisys"
http://www.unisys.com/unisys/lzw/lzw-license.asp

..ask Unisys for a free lzw license donation and offer to show a
"Gif license sponsored by Unisys"-banner. A fair and legal deal.

Dear Colleagues,

I am interested in journals or magazines that reflect the status of
renewable energy projects and the industry in the US, projects,
companies involved, etc.

Currently I subscribe to "Renewable Energy World" and "Co generation
and On-Site Power Production" and there I get a very good idea of what
is going on on the world but unfortunately I think that there is little
coverage of what is going on on the US.

I am very interested in the American market and the companies that work
on developing projects there, so technical, industry magazines are of
my interest, I want to see who are the players, advertisement, etc.

Thanks in advance,

Jean

Just spoke to a man on by phone that wishes to build a bamboo biomass power
plant here in Belize.

That is combustion of "plantation" Bamboo for production of electrical power.

In this case -- 12 megs worth.

Looking over the biomass data bases for fuel value -- ash content -- etc.

Can't find anything on Bamboo!!

Can some one please help me??

Would like to have some hard facts on bamboo as fuel. Normal fresh cut
moisture levels -- ash content -- heat value --

Message-ID: <NDBBLFMLILPCDBFGNAACCEHKHNAA.pbadger@bioenergyupdate.com>

URGENT!!!
6-MW BIOPOWER PLANT
FOR SALE

The 6-MW wood-fired BIOTEN power plant at Red Boiling Springs, Tennessee,
will be sold at absolute auction on June 13, 2002. However, the plant can be
purchased complete or as individual components if you act IMMEDIATLEY. The
minimum purchase price is USD$850,000, payable in US funds, or best offer
over the minimum. Intellectual property and license may be sold with the
plant or separately.

The BIOTEN power plant is a third generation, modular system based on an
aero-derivative turbine fueled with powdered wood burned in a pressurized
combustion chamber. The present owners of the plant are selling the plant
due to the lack of a Green Power Purchase Agreement. The plant and
intellectual property represent over a $25 million investment.

Main Equipment:
· GE LM 1500 generator and power turbine modified from gas to Biomass fuel,
model LM 1500 PB104.E417-120GE-E 1552335
· Power Turbine 7 LM 1500 PB 104 s/n 417-120 10 coupling corp. Turbine
shaft, 400C high speed

It will be the responsibility of the purchasing party to dismantle and move
the power plant and equipment at the purchaser’s expense. All equipment
subject to this sale must be removed from said property within 90 days of
closure after sale or as negotiated with subsequent property owners.

A double-layered polyethylene-covered greenhouse that was heated with waste
heat from the power plant is also for sale. The greenhouse consists of nine
bays each 16-foot wide by 152-foot long and five bays still unassembled. A
backup wood fired boiler and all heating equipment is included with the
greenhouse. With negotiation, it is possible to keep the greenhouse in its
present location. The greenhouse is set up for hydroponic tomato production
and all associated hydroponic equipment and the current crop of tomatoes can
be purchased with the greenhouse. The greenhouse structure originally cost
USD$200,000.

For additional information and a complete listing of the equipment contact
Phillip C. Badger, General Bioenergy, Inc., P.O. Box 26, Florence, Alabama
35630 USA, phone +1 256 740 5634, fax +1 256 740 5635, email
pbadger@bioenergyupdate.com. Normal office hours are 8:00am until 5:00pm,
Central Daylight Time, Monday through Friday.

Other terms and conditions apply.

Dear John and all:

John's right - it wouldn't load. The

Subject: GAS-L: Coal -Char Combustion
Message-ID: <scf7602c.013@groupwise.puk.ac.za>

Dear all,
I wonder if anyone out there can help me, I am studying coal combustion kinetics. I am wondering whether there is any difference to the combustion profile as a result of combusting coal -char in 50% Oxygen/Nitrogen mixture at 1 bar and on the other hand in 10% Oxygen/Nitrogen mixture at 5 bar. The char is about 60% Ash.

Regards
Rufaro....
