Whats the difference between burning corn and burning wood? If someone was to propose setting aside millions of acres of farmland to grow trees so that they could be burned in a wood-burning electrical power plant, that person would be run out of town on a rail. Yet, that scheme would actually be more efficient than ethanol, because the entire tree could be burned. You wouldnt have to extract oil and then refine it into fuel.
I actually work for a company that is trying to make ethanol from pine. We have made methanol and will make ethanol soon. It is experimental and I am not sure about its viability.
The design on electrical and process is great. We are using Delta V for Control Room.The process itself is the question.
I have been in this business 32 yrs. I have seen successes and failures.
I am at not sure on this one.I hope it turns out well. I am by far the most experienced operator here. But my legs aren’t what they used to be.
I work for one of the “green” companies. The pay is great after 7 months of no pay.
But I don’t know if the process is viable. I may be looking for a new job soon myself.
Colvin is a local boy. He went to same the high school as I. My wife and sister in law went to school with his mother.
That being said, this is a big story locally.
I wish him well.
What exactly is an industrial nuclear device? And what industry uses them?
The chemical industry uses nuclear devices as level transmitters.The LT gives a reading to the control room operator to monitor levels in tanks, vessels, etc..They are pretty common.
