Mains gas is most likely to be piped natural gas. The most serious risk to human health is via a leak‚ however small‚ in the piping system that transports the gas inside the building. Natural gas is a mixture of hydrocarbons‚ including methane. It is colourless and odourless‚ which makes a leak difficult to notice. Exposure to high levels of natural gas quickly causes unconsciousness and even death. Exposure to low levels can cause dizziness‚ nausea or heart palpitations. It has this affect because

within landfills. Energy can be derived from waste that has been treated and pressed into solid fuel‚ waste that has been converted into biogas or syngas‚ or heat and steam from waste that has been incinerated. Waste-to-energy technologies that produce fuels are referred to as waste-to-fuel technologies. Advanced waste-to-energy technologies can be used to produce biogas (methane and carbon dioxide)‚ syngas (hydrogen and carbon monoxide)‚ liquid biofuels (ethanol and biodiesel)‚ or pure hydrogen; these

Electricity generation is the process of creating electricity from other forms of energy. The fundamental principles of electricity generation were discovered during the 1820s and early 1830s by the British scientist Michael Faraday. His basic method is still used today: electricity is generated by the movement of a loop of wire‚ or disc of copper between the poles of a magnet.[1] For electric utilities‚ it is the first process in the delivery of electricity to consumers. The other processes

Strike the iron when it is hot: What we ingrain in young minds determine the future for them and the generations to come. As the world wakes up to decades of sheer recklessness in destroying world’s resources and to the clarion call towards sustainability‚ it is high time the discussions on the same enter the schools and colleges for future generations to understand the urgency of the issue and take right steps in their careers. As they say “strike the iron when it is hot”. What started in 1975 as

excessive use of conventional fuel such as fossil fuel and nuclear energy. Part of the efforts to save our planet is to shift from using conventional fuels to alternative ones such as wind energy‚ solar‚ tidal‚ wave‚ oceal‚ thermal‚ dendrothermal‚ biogas and biodiesel‚ alcohol and gasohol‚ and agro/industrial wastes. While others may argue that great amount is needed to make that shift‚ we should all realize that its long-term benefits far outweigh the cost of investment. For instance‚ the

The project dealing with the production of biogas and compost from large quantities of Korean food wastes. The anaerobic process plant of this project‚ located at the Anyang City incinerator site‚ produces biogas and humus from the treatment of 5 tonnes/day MSW containing approximately 3 tonnes of food waste. The major achievements of this project are; 1) development of a two-phase anaerobic process optimised for Korean food waste treatment and biogas (energy) recovery; 2) development of a sorting
