There has been increased interest in firing wood waste as a supplement to coal in either pulverized coal (PC) or cyclone boilers at 1—5% of heat input. This appHcation has been demonstrated by such electric utilities as Santee-Cooper, Tennessee Valley Authority, Georgia Power, Dehnarva, and Northern States Power. Cofiring wood waste with coal in higher percentages, eg, 10—15% of heat input, in PC and cyclone boilers is being carefully considered by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). This practice may have the potential to maximize the thermal efficiency of waste fuel combustion. If this practice becomes widespread, it will offer another avenue for use of fuels from waste. 

Coal Liquefaction at Wilsonville. Starting ia 1974 the Advanced Coal Liquefaction R D Facihty at WilsonviUe, Alabama operated a 6 t/d pilot plant and studied various coal Hquefaction processiag schemes. The facihty, cosponsored by the DOE, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and Amoco Oil Co, was shut down ia early 1992.

Mr. Port and Dr. Herro have made presentations at professional societies such as the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), NACE, ASM, the American Boiler Manufacturer s Association (ABMA), and the American Chemical Society (ACS). Together, the authors have completed more than 4700 failure analyses. 

To hasten development of batteries for electric vehicles, Chiysler, Ford, and General Motors formed the U.S. Advanced Batteiy Consortium (USABC). In 1991 USABC, battery manufacturers, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) launched a joint research effort to identify, develop and license promising batteiy technology for electric vehicles—vehicles with the range, performance and similar costs of gasoline-powered vehicles.

Work has also continued on the solvent-refined coal + hydrocracking concept (the NT.SL, or non-integrat-ed, two-stage liquefaction process), and a pilot plant was operated by Amoco, DOE and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) from 1974 to 1992. 

The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI 1981) conducted a survey of transuranic radionuclides in the terrestrial environs of nuclear power plants in the United States in 1978-1979. The plants included two pressurized water reactors (PWRs) and two BWRs that were of modem design and had been in operation at least 3 years. The 241 Am air concentrations around all of the power plants were extremely low and indistinguishable from fallout background...

In 1992, LANL and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) entered into a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) to transfer SDP to industry. Through a competitive call for proposals. High Mesa Technologies, L.L.C. (HMT) of Santa Fe, New Mexico, subsequently was selected as the third partner to commercialize and develop SDP equipment. HMT has also licensed the rights to use SDP technology for process off-gas control. In February 1997, it was reported that HMT was seeking opportunities to demonstrate a commercial SDP system for industrial off-gas treatment and anticipated that commercial units would be available in 12 to 18 months. 

There has been considerable interest in the determination of ions at trace levels as, for example, in applications need high-purity water as in semiconductor processing and the determination of trace anions in amine treated waters. For this investigation, we will define "trace" as determinations at or below 1 pg/1 (ppb) levels. The Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI) recommended the use of IC for tracking trace ionic contaminants from 0.025 to 0.5 pg/1 [18]. In addition, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) has established IC as the analytical technique for determining of trace level concentrations of sodium, chloride and sulfate down to 0.25 pg/1 in power plant water [19].
