The design of a wireless LPG leakage monitoring system is proposed for home safety. This system detects the leakage of the LPG and alerts the consumer about the leak by SMS and as an emergency measure the system will turnoff the power supply, while activating the alarm. The additional advantage of the system is that it continuously monitors the level of the LPG present in the cylinder using loa...

Emerging evidence suggests a possible link between exposure to household air pollution (HAP) from reliance on polluting solid fuels (SFs) (e.g., wood and charcoal) for cooking high blood pressure. As part of the CLEAN-Air(Africa) project, we measured pressure among 350 cooks in Obuasi Municipality, Ghana after 24 h particulate matter (PM2.5) combustion either (n = 35) or liquefied petroleum gas...

According to the needs of sustainability, a new sustainable banana chip value chain, which is combination traditional chain and waste was designed. Scenarios were created assuming that an anaerobic digester would be implemented produce biogas—which can act as substitute for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) used in processing—from wastes. The values residues throughout determined depending on farm ...

Leakage of venomous gases results in severe health hazards and ecological pollution. A system has been developed to sense hazardous gases like Liquefied Petroleum Gas, propane and butane. Gas concentration along with location of the gas container display on Liquid Crystal Display and on remote computer using Global Positioning System in addition to Zigbee technology. An important feature of thi...

Modern chromatography by virtue offantastic capabilities for separation, qharacterization, quantitation and fractionation has emerged as a potential analytical technique for hydrocarbon industry. Presently the gas chromatography alongwith high performance liquid chromatography coverwide range ofapplications in diversified areas including Basic and applied research. Availability of large number ...

The association between exposure to air pollution from cooking fuels and health aspects was studied in Maputo. Mozambique. Almost 1200 randomly selected women residing in the suburbs of Maputo were interviewed and 218 were monitored for air pollution. The fuels most commonly used were wood, charcoal, electricity, and liquified petroleum gas (LPG). Wood users were exposed to significantly higher...

Two-stage riser catalytic cracking of heavy oil for maximizing propylene yield (TMP) process proposed by State Key Laboratory of Heavy oil Processing, China University of Petroleum, can remarkably enhance the propylene yield and minimize the dry gas and coke yields, and obtain high-quality light oils (gasoline and diesel). It has been commercialized since 2006. Up to now, three TMP commercial u...
