Energy industries

To foster a close relationship with the chemical, petroleum, gas, and energy industries and governmental agencies for the exchange of information and knowledge and to ensure that research results and discoveries of significance will be effectively exploited... 

Gasification. Conversion of biomass to gaseous fuels can be accompHshed by several methods only two are used by the biomass energy industry (ca 1992). One is thermal gasification in which LHV gas, ie, producer gas, is produced. The other process is anaerobic digestion, which yields an MHVgas. 

Amber zone A ventilation containment zone used in the atomic energy industry. 

Primary containment The enclosing structure around a red zone used in the atomic energy industry, which has a specific leak tiglitness.

A major element of energy policy in leading industrial countries such as the United States, Germany, Britain, Japan, and France has been provision of substantial aid to existing energy industries. Part of the... 

Unfortunately, the most recent estimates of energy subsidies in the United States date from the early 1990s and earlier, and such subsidies change constantly as the tax laws are modified and governmental priorities change. Tt is clear that total subsidies to the energy industries are in the billions to a few tens of billions of dollars each year, but the total is not known with precision. 

It is not intended to include a comprehensive set of conversion factors, but rather those, which are frequently to be found in the energy industries. 

In certain applications it has not always been easy to hnd suitable metallic container materials, particularly in the nuclear-energy industry, where, for certain applications, corrosion resistance of the same order as that required by the fine chemical industry has to be achieved in order to prevent contamination of the process stream. Such difflculties have stimulated the study of corrosion in fused salts and have led to a fairly high degree of understanding of corrosion reactions in these media. 

Details have been collected for the determination of some 50 elements by this technique21,22 and it is possible to effect many difficult separations, such as Cu and Bi, Cd and Zn, Ni and Co it has been widely used in the nuclear energy industry. A number of organic compounds can also be determined by this procedure, e.g. trichloroacetic acid and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol are reduced at a mercury cathode in accordance with the equations...
