Gas analysis in combustion processes
21 July, 2006The Rosemount Analytical OxyBalance oxygen display and averaging system is used for improving gas analysis in large combustion applications. It provides vital oxygen (O2) data that helps operators set ideal fuel-to-air ratios and effectively balance individual burners or sets of burners. The system provides both the averaging and burner variability information that is critical to operators - ultimately minimising wasted resources and optimising plant efficiency.
Applications open for community greenhouse action
26 June, 2006The Australian Government plans to help local communities, businesses and councils take action to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions with the availability of grants totalling almost $2.2 million.
Planting trees continues to be an effective greenhouse tactic
05 June, 2006A multidisciplinary team from the Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Greenhouse Accounting, the Australian National University, CSIRO, Ensis and the University of New South Wales has reaffirmed the value of tree planting to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.
Sieves could put a lid on greenhouse gas
10 May, 2006Brisbane and German scientists have teamed up in a $4.2 million project to build and test microscopic sieves that could potentially trap environmentally destructive greenhouse gases before they escape coal-fired power stations and refineries.
Ventilation and indoor air quality analysis
18 April, 2006Indoor air quality checks provide information about whether employees are working in an agreeable climate.
Air pollution control system
18 April, 2006The Cleanswitch modular oxidiser is a regenerative thermal oxidiser (RTO) that is claimed to remove 99-plus per cent of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) without using a VOC entrapment system.
GasBadge Plus gas monitor
21 March, 2006The GasBadge Plus single gas monitor provides low-cost, personal protection from dangerous levels of carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, oxygen, nitrogen dioxide or sulfur dioxide.
Sustainability diagnostic tool
21 March, 2006A website diagnostic tool has been developed to assess a company's ability to manage stakeholders and help it rate their sustainability performance.
Biogas isn't as bad as once thought: report
20 March, 2006Biogas has created much discussion about its potential as an environmentally friendly alternative to oil and other fossil fuels.
Proposed laws to stop petroleum contamination
22 February, 2006The Department of Environment & Conservation (DEC) is proposing new measures that address petroleum contamination from underground storage tanks and pipes – one of the major sources of soil and groundwater contamination in NSW.
Fuel injector cleaner
22 February, 2006The Toyota Jetstream Fuel Injector Cleaner is used to ensure a vehicle's fuel system functions at its optimum. It cleans the vehicle while it is being driven.
Cutting the path to reduced emissions
16 January, 2006A variety of technological advances being developed by CSIRO can dramatically reduce Australia's greenhouse gas emissions, according to CSIRO's chief of energy technology, Dr David Brockway.
