Gas leak detection is the process of identifying potentially hazardous gas leaks by means of various sensors. These sensors usually employ an audible alarm to alert people when a dangerous gas has been detected. Common sensors used today include Infrared Point Sensor‚ Ultrasonic gas detectors‚ electrochemical gas detectors‚ and Semiconductor Sensors. More recently‚ infrared imaging sensors have come into use. All of these sensors are used for a wide range of applications‚ and can be found in industrial

What needs to be done to achieve greenhouse gas reduction targets by 2020? Since the beginning of Industrial Revolution‚ concentrations of carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ and nitrous oxide have all risen dramatically because of human activities. Fossil fuel combustion‚ land-use change‚ increasingly intensive agriculture‚ and an expanding global human population are the primary causes for these increases. Other greenhouse gases found in our planet’s atmosphere include water vapor and ozone. Carbon

• Natural gas is an odorless‚ colorless‚ flammable gas. It is non-toxic and lighter than air. • The gas chiefly consists of methane (CH4)‚ but also contains other hydrocarbons such as ethane‚ butane‚ propane and naphtha. Oil and gas deposits in the North Sea were formed millions of years ago through the decomposition and transformation of organic matter (plant and animal remains). In its primary form‚ natural gas can be used for residential heating and cooking‚ for industrial purposes

development of any country. Unfortunately‚ our country is facing a big crisis of Energy since last few years. And we are very keen to find some renewable method to produce energy which would be cheapest‚ durable and ecological. One of such method is “Bio-Gas’’ power plants. Energy is one of the major inputs for the economic development of any country. In the case of the developing countries‚ the energy sector assumes a critical importance in view of the ever-increasing energy needs requiring huge investments

BHOPAL GAS TRAGEDY At 11.00 PM on December 2 1984‚ while most of the one million residents of Bhopal slept‚ an operator at the plant noticed a small leak of methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas and increasing pressure inside a storage tank. The vent-gas scrubber‚ a safety device designer to neutralize toxic discharge from the MIC system‚ had been turned off three weeks prior . Apparently a faulty valve had allowed one ton of water for cleaning internal pipes to mix with forty tons of MIC. A 30 ton refrigeration

“THE GAS MAN COMETH” The documentary‚ “Gas Land”‚ by Josh Fox‚ is a film about the problems with contaminated groundwater due to excessive and unregulated natural gas extraction across the country. In the film‚ Fox travels all over to talk to many people who have rented out their land to natural gas companies‚ only to get contaminated water and no help from any company or organization with the problems that ensue. Fox uses many techniques in his film to get across his point that America should

their gills only allow them to take in oxygen from the water. The percentage of oxygen is the water is significantly lower than the amount of oxygen in the air. Fish have adapted to be able to filter oxygen from the water despite its low percentage. Gas exchange in fish occurs in their gills which is supported by a bony arch. Fish take water in through their mouths. Water enters via a fish’s open mouth‚ its opercula close and stop water from leaving before being forced through the gill filaments. Once
