The "SIMON" Project ("On-line acoustic monitoring of structural integrity of critical power plant components operating at high temperatures") had a duration of 4 years (1.10.1993 -30.09.1997) the Project Consortium included CISE (Project Coordinator, I), MITSUI BABCOCK ENERGY (UK), HERIOT-WATT UNIVERSITY (IK), PROET / EDP (P) and ENEL (I). 

Assessing the effectiveness and reliability of Acoustic Emission (AE) in continuous, on-line monitoring of the structural integrity of critical thermal power plant components, such as steam headers and steamline sections, is the main objective of the work reported in this paper. This is part of the work carried within the BRITE - EURAM 6056 "SIMON" Project from 10.1993 to 9.1997 with the support of the EU Commission. The "SIMON" Project Consortium included CISE [I, coordinator], MITSUI BABCOCK ENERGY [UK] HERIOT WATT University [UK], PROET / EDP[P]andENEL[I],...

A key development in water-tube furnace design was the Babcock and WHcox boHet of 1877 (Fig. 2) (3). This can be considered the direct evolutionary ancestor of the 1000 MW steam power plants a century later (see Steam).

Fat Content of Milk. Raw milk as well as many dairy products are routinely analyzed for their fat content. The Babcock test, or one of its modifications, has been a standard direct measure for many years and is being replaced by indirect means, particularly for production operations. The Babcock test employs a bottle with an extended and caHbrated neck, milk plus sulfuric acid [7664-93-9] to digest the protein, and a centrifuge to concentrate the fat into the caHbrated neck. The percentage of fat in the milk is read direcflv from the neck of the bottle with a divider or caHper, rea ding to... 

ALWRs are expected to be deployed ia the United States and ia Asian counties. However, France will use improved versions of standard reactors, considering them to be amply safe and economical. The reactors were modified after the Three-Mile Island-2 (TMI-2) accident. The company Framatome that has built most of the reactors of France is associated with Babcock Wilcox ia the United States. The new Framatome 1500 MWe N4 PWR is an extension of the successful four-loop units of 1300 MWe originally designed by Westiaghouse. Full emphasis is givea to safety, ecoaomy, and rehabiUty. More severe design criteria than those ia the former model have beea adopted.

In ECS s 1986 repowefing project Babcock and Wilcox (B W) constmcted a bubbling-bed section to ECS s existing 125 MWe pulverized-coal furnace to produce 31.3 t/h of lime, usiag cmshed coal as the source of heat to calciae limestone ia the fluidized bed. A portion of the lime is drawn from the bed as bottom ash and a portion is collected as fly ash. Both portions are transferred to a cement (qv) plant adjacent to the boiler. The hot flue gas from the EBC flows iato the existing main pulverized-coal furnace, ia which a B W LIMB system was also iastaHed to absorb sulfur dioxide dufing those times when the EBC is not operating.
