Sentences with phrase «plant at a higher heat»

Not exact matches

Internal DEC documents indicate state officials were aware then that the facility's high - heat processes made the perfluorinated compounds used at the manufacturing facility more toxic as they left the plant's smokestacks.

David Hassel, a mechanical engineer who worked at the Hoosick Falls plant now owned by Saint - Gobain, helped design the ovens that were part of a high - heat process used in the manufacturing.

Because of the centralized design such a structure can operate at much higher temperatures — up to 1,000 degrees F (535 degrees C)-- and use molten salts directly as the fluid transferring heat in the power plant.

Turning up the heat seems to increase the rate at which the plants produce methane, Keppler says, which could explain why atmospheric levels of methane were high hundreds of thousands of years ago when global temperatures were balmy.

Higher CO2 raises the temperature at which plants experience heat - induced death.

Coconut Oil is more heat stable than other plant based oils, and so does not create trans fatty acids when cooked at higher temperatures.

There's an under - bias in my numbers due to self consumption at power plants and especially because average emission factors understate emissions from older and smaller (higher heat rate and thus higher emissions) plants that have disproportionately been the ones shut down or not dispatched.

Springtime cold air outbreaks (at least two consecutive days during which the daily average surface air temperature is below 95 % of the simulated average wintertime surface air temperature) are projected to continue to occur throughout this century.19 As a result, increased productivity of some crops due to higher temperatures, longer growing seasons, and elevated CO2 concentrations could be offset by increased freeze damage.20 Heat waves during pollination of field crops such as corn and soybean also reduce yields (Figure 18.3).4 Wetter springs may reduce crop yields and profits, 21 especially if growers are forced to switch to late - planted, shorter - season varieties.

Lignite, brown coal used mainly at electricity generating plants, has the lowest carboncontent and heating value and is high in ash and moisture.

Completed in 2009, it uses a so - called ultrasupercritical cycle, which generates steam at very high heat and pressure, boosting the plant's efficiency to 45 %, compared with 30 % to 35 % for conventional plants.

At the Plataforma Solar de Almería (Spain) and California (USA) several demonstration projects have been carried out to demonstrate the techno - economic feasibility of the coupling of solar - powered absorption heat pumps to Multiple Effect Distillation (MED) plants reaching the highest thermal performance value for this kind of technology [1].

Victoria experienced supply failures in February 2000 when a heat wave swept across south eastern Australia, causing extremely high peak demand at a time when an industrial dispute had reduced available capacity by 20 % and two generating plants were unexpectedly out of service.

In a supplementary role the Heat Power system works in parallel with current technology at existing geothermal power plants using high temperatures, and can utilize heat that would otherwise be lost in an ORC sysHeat Power system works in parallel with current technology at existing geothermal power plants using high temperatures, and can utilize heat that would otherwise be lost in an ORC sysheat that would otherwise be lost in an ORC system.

And in a side event, scientist and promoter Johannes Lehman from Cornell University made a push for how plant waste heated at high temps (called «biochar») might be a super-effective CO2 storage method (and less expensive, perhaps, than CCS?).
