Norit Carbon has developed a chemically regenerable activated carbon (SPARAC) that is suitable for sugar decolourisation. Previous evaluation of this activated carbon showed promising results, and Norit developed another grade of SPARAC that had faster adsorption kinetics. This carbon has been evaluated in terms of its colour removal performance after successive regenerations. Decolourisation t...

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of several operational variables on both biological and separation process performance in a submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactor pilot plant that treats urban wastewater. The pilot plant is equipped with two industrial hollow-fiber ultrafiltration membrane modules (PURON ® Koch Membrane Systems, 30 m 2 of filtration surface each). It was operate...

This paper presents the design of a solar tracking system driven by a mnicrochip PIC 18F452 micro controller. The system is based on two mechanisms. The first one is the search mechanism (PILOT) which locates the position of the sun. The second mechanism(intelligent PANELS) aligns itself with the PILOT only if maximum energy possible could be extracted. On top of that the main advantage of the ...

High levels of potentially leachable toxic metals such as Pb, Cd, and Cr, in the ash residues require consideration of treatment technologies prior to disposal or utilization of the ashes in other applications. Extraction studies revealed information on the leaching characteristics of the ashes and on the ability of the extraction solutions to separate these metals from the ash matrix. The kine...

We aim to develop a new method that can optimize operating conditions of commercial-scale equipment to achieve scale-up from pilot-scale equipment even when only a small number of experiments can be performed with commercial-scale equipment. The proposed method, combined task Bayesian optimization (CTBO), uses not only data of a target task, e.g., a commercial-scale plant, but also data of a so...

Pilot projects appear in many forms in policy making and management. In an effort to understand the nature and use of pilot projects and improve their effectiveness, we undertake a practicebased and theoretical study of the pilot project phenomenon. First, we examine the roles assigned to pilot projects in the policy development literature and explore their use in a Dutch water innovation platf...

This paper addresses the control of a penicillin fermentation pilot plant using IMC strategies with modules based on FasArt neurofuzzy system. FasArt features fast stable learning and shows good MIMO identification, which makes it suitable for development of the modules in IMC. Experiments have been done training FasArt on real data and applying the controller to the pilot plant, and show that ...

When writing can change your life, when writing can enrich you by offering much money, why don't you try it? Are you still very confused of where getting the ideas? Do you still have no idea with what you are going to write? Now, you will need reading. A good writer is a good reader at once. You can define how you write depending on what books to read. This have we made progress the clinical pl...
