Electric power generation elimination

One of the outstanding features of the CAREM reactor is that its safety systems are passive, which means that they have no moving parts except for valves and switches. This characteristic has as a consequence a qualitative improvement in reliability. Another of its consequences is that the safety systems do not require electric power, thus eliminating the need for safety grade Diesel generators. 

Safety-grade equipment such as pumping systems and diesel generators and associated support equipment and electric power distribution is eliminated. 

External Heat Eliminates need to sacrifice carbon Thermal Power Stations eg fluid bed coal combustion or nuclear electric "Co-generated" thermal energy... 

If a process gas is supplied to the cathode with an H,S level of 2000 ppm, a CO, level of 1%, and an H,0 level of 12% (a saturated natural gas composition), it is assumed that 99% of the H,S is removed by reaction (5), and if the process and sweep gas flowrates are equal, then there exist an activity ratio of a oJa of 665 in the anolyte before significant (e.g. 1%) of the carbonate is oxidized. This assiunes equivalent electrode kinetics for the cathodic and anodic reactions. When compared to the activity ratio of Ocos a of 26.9, this shows the thermodynamic preference for the oxidation of to elemental sulfur by equation (8) when there is an absence of reductant at the anode. This mode of operation is preferable for commercial application, with direct production of elemental sulfur vapor, eliminating this need for a Claus reactor for sulfur production. The net effect, under these conditions, is continuous removal of H,S from the process gas accompanied by enrichment of the process gas with H, and direct generation of elemental sulfrur. ITie only reagent required is electric power at a potentially attractive rate, which will be shown. 

The ServoPro, an exclusive feature of the Utah Arm, is designed for amputees with shoulder disarticulation, interscapulothoracic, or brachial plexus injuries. The ServoPro eliminates the electrodes normally required to operate the Utah Arm. The system may be the only option, which can provide functional control of both elbow and hand. The ServoPro is based on a harness, but instead of cables, electronic components are pushed and pulled to generate command signals that will control the electrically powered prosthesis. The ServoPro requires much smaller excursion of movement and less effort compared with body-powered cables in equivalent mechanical systems. The servo control is accurate and it uses feedback from sensors in the elbow and hand.
