Improving Air Quality In Our Communities

Posted on September 14th, 2009 by admin

It may not be sexy but by voluntarily reducing engine idling Verizon employees cut fuel consumption by more than 1 million gallons (equivalent to taking some 1,600 cars off the road for a year).

Overall, Verizons conservation efforts in 2008 alone reduced greenhouse gas emissions by more than 303,000 metric tons, the equivalent of taking more than 55,500 cars off the road.

Verizons carbon intensity is approximately nine times below the U.S. average, as reported by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Verizons rate of 64 metric tons of CO2 emissions per million dollars in revenue represents a year-over-year improvement of 3 percent. The company remains committed to finding practical and innovative ways to increase energy efficiency and bolster conservation efforts.

In 2008, Verizon launched a pilot project that reduced the energy used by computers and monitors by installing software to remotely shut off computers not in use. Once this initiative is extended throughout the company, the projected energy savings are expected to be equivalent to the annual energy needs of 88,000 homes.

Verizon also operates the largest fuel cell site of its kind in the nation. The companys Energy Star Award-winning facility in Garden City, N.Y., uses seven fuel cells capable of generating enough electrical power per hour to meet the energy needs of 400 single-family homes.

The Power of Green

Posted on September 11th, 2009 by admin

Algae presents a valuable way for carbon control by converting carbon dioxide emissions into feed and fuel. No fertile land and fresh water are required.

Air Car by Guy Negre on Beyond Tomorrow

Posted on September 5th, 2009 by admin

Guy Negre of MDI Air Car engine that runs on compressed air. Emissions are only filtered air that’s cleaner than outside air. 300 bars of pressure in carbon-fibre & kevlar air tanks. Car can travel at 110 km/hr and has a 150 km driving range. Refilling can be done by plugging in at home or at a special high-pressure air station. Dual-energy models use small amounts of bio-fuels that can extend the range to over 1400 kms.

Pollution free vehicle that produces zero emissions. When the car stops at traffic lights, the engine stops so no energy is lost because there’s no idling.

Hydrogen fuel water car

Posted on September 2nd, 2009 by admin

“Free energy produced from water by the HHO gases are responsible in reducing the amount of gas your car burn per mile. This increases the mileage per gallon mpg of a car for every gallon of gas burnt. In effect you end up saving thousands of dollars in fuel money per month covering the same distance as before or sometimes even more.

Reduce car emissions by converting your engine to burn hydrogen gas. The hydrogen, oxygen and gas mixture burns more efficiently and completely to get rid of hydrocarbons and inert gases. When HHO and gas burns, the only emission is water vapour which is harmless.”

It’s the hot thing at Laramie River Station - reducing emissions!

Posted on September 2nd, 2009 by admin

It’s the hot spot at Laramie River Station, the Unit 1 boiler. Most of the time, it’s just hot. This spring, it’s hot because it’s the happenin’ place to be.

The boiler is getting a lot of attention during the unit’s maintenance outage. It’s the first of Laramie River’s three units to get a new system, called overfire air, to help reduce emissions.

(Myron Singleton/Mechanical engineer): “The overfire air project is used to reduce the NOx emissions that form at the burners. With overfire air, you divert about 15 to 20 percent of the air away from the burners, and we inject up here higher in the furnace to complete the carbon burnout.”

(Erin Huntimer): “Beneath my feet is the secondary air duct thats bringing air in from the air heaters. Part of what’s new with this project is this 72-inch diameter header duct behind me that’s redirecting air from the secondary air duct into the new overfire air ports in the boiler.”

Taking air away from the burners starves the fire for oxygen. This forces the nitrogen atoms to bond together into more stable, inert nitrogen molecules, rather than nitrogen oxide.

Planning for the outage started more than a year ago. The unit was shut down in mid April.

(Myron Singleton): “Before the outage, we started steel construction. We had quite a few modifications to make to the structural steel. And then we started construction of 72-inch diameter header ducts in February.”

The overfire air project is the first step to meet upcoming emissions rules in Wyoming being made through what is called a BART analysis. BART stands for Best Available Retrofit Technology. The next step will be installing new burners to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions even more. Each of Laramie River’s three units will get them in future outages.

(Dave mings/Environmental coordinator): “What we expect to see with overfire air and the low NOx burners completely installed is possibly a 20-25 percent reduction in NOx emissions, and we hope were going to be getting a little bit better than that. Its just going to depend on how well our older boilers that really are not designed right for this type of thing, how well our boilers and how well our operators we have some of the best operators around here if they can do their jobs to the utmost, then we hope to get that NOx down without losing a megawatt of energy.”

Another hot spot in the Unit 1 outage is the turbine deck. This is the last of the three units to get a new high-pressure/intermediate-pressure rotor and stationary blading. The project improves efficiency, meaning more megawatts without burning more fuel. The Unit 2 upgrade results in 12 more megawatts of power. Unit 3 is producing 20 more megawatts. The Unit 1 project is expected to get similar results.

Unit 1’s outage activity is winding down. The real heat returns to the boiler in early June, when operators fire the unit to bring it back online.

Emission Test of HHO PUrple Bug… Success!

Posted on August 27th, 2009 by admin

HHO Purple Bug -actual footage (unedited/ uncut)of Emission Testing - registering Very Low Emissions! Using the Super 7 Cell.

I was too excited.. I kept mentioning Carbon Dioxide… (Sorry- correction: it’s Carbon Monoxide).

To see the Emission Certificate click this link:

Here’s the proof you want to see.

My AF mixture is actually 10:1 at the time of testing… normally, rich mixtures would register higher harmful emissions.

Again, the theory that HHO creates a more stronger combustion and burns more hydrocarbons is more and more becoming real.

Next Stop… DYNANOMETER. (Any Sponsors?)
