Recovery national project

On the basis of these circumstances, the need for a better solid waste disposal system has stimulated a great deal of interest in the application of pyrolysis to solid wastes instead of the traditional incineration system in our country. Since the Agency of Industrial Science Technology, MITI had launched the national project on development of technology and system of resource recovery from refuse in 1973, more than a dozen processes of PTGL are being developed at the national level, municipal level, and the level of private companies as shown in Table I. 

Resource Recovery Process System Developed by National Project. Phase I of the national project was carried out from 1973 to 1976 for developing the feasible technology and systems of resource recovery from solid wastes, and the demonstration plant (100 tons/day) for the material - reclamation system in phase II is under construction. The pyrolysis processes which have been developed in phase I of the national project are as follows ... 

In the United States, the remaining producible reserve is estimated to be 21 billion barrels. Of this 21 billion, cm-rently implemented EOR projects are expected to recover 3 billion barrels. A 1998 report in the Oil and Gas Journal listed a production of 759,653 barrels of oil per day (b/d) from EOR projects in the United States. This amoimt represented about 12% of the total U S. oil prodirctioa A somewhat dated but highly informative study conducted by the U.S. National Petroleum Council (NPC) and pubhshed in 1984 determined that, with current EOR technology, an estimated 14.5 billion barrels of oil could be produced in the United States over a 30-yr period. This amount includes the 3 billion barrels that are expected to be produced from current EOR projects. The 14.5-billion-barrel figure was derived from a series of assumptions and subsequent model predictions. Included in the assumptions was an oil base price of 30 per barrel in constant 1983 U.S. dollars. The ultimate oil recovery was projected to be very sensitive to oil price, as shown in Table I. 

Most of the increase in the estimate from applying advanced technology comes from improvements in chemical flooding methods. The projections assume that crude oil has a nominal price of 30 per barrel and that the minimum rate of return on capital is 10 percent. Reprinted with permission from Enhanced Oil Recovery.

The U.S. National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 required careful analysis of the consequences of any federally funded project. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976 established guidelines for handling, transport, and hauling of hazardous materials, such as required in cleanup of soil contaminants. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980 established, for the hrst time, strict mles on legal liability for soil contamination. CERCLA stimulated identihcation and cleanup of thousands of contaminated land sites, and consequently raised awareness of property buyers and sellers to make soil contamination a focal issue of land use and management practices (US-EPA 2007c). 

The studies on allelopathy in Mexico were initiated in 1970 within the project entitled Recovery of Tropical Rain Forests, as a suggestion of its director. Dr. Arturo Gomez-Pompa, at the Institute of Biology of the National Autonomous University of Mexico.

Wolves have been in the news for the past few years and are a hot topic. But little has been said about the red wolf or this recovery project. Most of the national press has focused on the gray wolves and their reintroduction to Yellowstone. While there has been regional press about the Red Wolf Recovery Plan, this film is the first documentary to offer an in-depth look at these beautiful animals and the circumstances that have brought them back into the wild. 

The EDIT programme has already anticipated international requirements. It will add filters to its SIGMA data to detect whether any of the substances contained in the material will make the component fail to meet national or international regulations and/or car manufacturers requirements in worldwide markets. The French project team is developing an additional tool that would enable tier one suppliers to draw up end-of-life scenarios. They could Ihen anticipate whether the material would lend itself to mechanical recycling or whether incineration for energy recovery would be preferable.
