Energy Recovery (Hardback - 1 Apr 2010)

Energy Recovery
Energy recovery occurs when the energy that is released from a resource recovery process (i.e., pyrolysis/gasification) is used for another purpose such as to generate steam, fuel or electricity generation. This book examines the energy recovery technologies which use landfill gas to produce energy directly. An overview of a variety of secondary sludge post treatment methods for energy recovery is given, including...

Clean Coal (Hardback - 1 Apr 2010)

Clean Coal
Coal use today is responsible for large, and mostly avoidable, damages to human health and our water and land. Coal use in the future, along with other fossil fuels, threatens to wreak havoc in the earth's climate system. This book looks at "clean coal" technologies such as coal gasification and carbon capture. Coal gasification, when done in conjunction with carbon capture and storage (CCS) is one...

Renewable Energies: Feasibility, Time & Cost Options (Paperback / softback - 1 Apr 2010)

Renewable Energies
Inside a decade, the availability of our conventional fuels will be doubtful. It is already late, then, to consider what sources we should develop. The principal requirement in addition to sufficient availability, at an acceptable cost, is that use of New Energy no longer involving injection of pollutants, in particular CO2 into the atmosphere. CH4 is a seldom mentioned danger: it comes increasingly with the rising...

Corn Straw & Biomass Blends: Combustion Characteristics & NO Formation (Hardback - 1 Apr 2010)

Corn Straw & Biomass Blends
Current energy consumption of biomass accounts for about 14% of total world energy consumption, second only to coal, oil, and natural gas, and developing countries account for 75% of the biomass utilisation. According to the statistics from 1998 to 2003, biomass resources in China were equivalent to 700 million tons of standard coal, of which about half was from straw. Combustion is frequently used for energy...
