Our earlier experiments in small composters (220 l) indicated the favourable effect of ash from co-incineration of sorted dry waste on the composting of catering waste. The aim of this new study was to clarify further, at a scale of 10 m3, the feasibility of using similar ash as an additive in composting. Source-separated catering waste was mixed with bulking agent (peat and wood chips) and fue...

Automotive Systems A u to m o tive Sstem s Th e fuel pressure control system (FPCS) was developed to comply with increasingly strict fuel-effi ciency and emissions regulations by improving fuel economy and reducing emissions. It controls the discharge fl ow rate of the fuel pump and fuel injection pressure in accordance with engine operating conditions. Past fuel supply systems have operated th...

in this study a pseudo comprehensive carbon footprint model for fossil fuel power plants is presented. parameters which their effects are considered in this study include: plant type, fuel type, fuel transmission type, internal consumption of the plant, degradation, site ambient condition, transmission and distribution losses. investigating internal consumption, degradation and site ambient con...

In order to clamp down on the illegal use of fishing boat fuel A (FBFA) and to reduce exhaust emissions in Taiwan, the residue from a desulfurization unit (RDS) and pyrolysis fuel oil (PFO) were added into FBFA with the ratio of 0.5% to form two new blended fuels (RDS0.5 and PFO0.5). The appearances of fuels from dark to light are RDS0.5, PFO0.5, and FBFA. The two new fuels have higher viscosit...

Amid growing recognition of the need for supply-side policies which set limits on further expansion fossil fuel extraction and use, in this article we consider possible elements a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty (FF NPT), behind there is momentum. We elaborate institutional mechanisms, principles, procedures, other an FF NPT, by drawing relevant precedents parallels with treaties bodies in...
