Energy from Ocean

PEAT's environmentally benign PTDR waste-to-energy technology produces the following three end-products from processing waste feedstocks: A clean synthetic gas ("syngas") that is a valuable source of alternative energy (Approximate heat value: 8 to 10 MJ/Nm3 (225 MMBTU/SCF); An inert vitrified glass that has excellent applications in the construction industry, including: Concrete Aggregate Road Bed/fill Sandblasting Recovered metal alloys

PEAT's plasma heating systems convert electrical energy into thermal energy. Controlled plasma arcs are generated when a steady flow of gas is forced between electrodes with a high electrical current flowing between these electrodes. This now ionized gas generates an intense heat in the form of a plasma arc column or "plume".

PEAT's PTDR-500 waste-to-energy system is an ideal, turn-key solution for industrial facilities. The PTDR-500 system provides a permanent, fully self-contained platform for facilities seeking an efficient, environmental and economical terminal chemical waste and hazardous waste treatment and disposal solution.

The PTDR Waste-to-Energy Technology is environmentally benign. It facilities eclipse the most stringent of environmental standards and certified as an "alterative-to-incineration" technology for medical waste in the State of California.

"Those who make peaceful evolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable."- John F. KennedyThere's one thing for sure: 2008 isn't anything like politics as usual.The corporate media (with their unerring eye for the obvious point) is fixated on the narrative that, for the first time ever, Americans will likely end this year with either a woman or a black man headed for the White House. Bloggers are telling stories from the front lines of primaries and caucuses that look like something from the early 60s - people lining up before dawn to vote in Manoa, Hawaii yesterday; a thousand black college students in Prairie View, Texas marching 10 miles to cast their early votes in the face of a county that tried to disenfranchise them. In recent months, we've also been gobstopped by the sheer passion of the insurgent campaigns of both Barack Obama and Ron Paul, both of whom brought millions of new voters into the conversation - and with them, a sharp critique of the status quo and a new energy that's agitating toward deep structural change.There's something implacable, earnest, and righteously angry in the air. And it raises all kinds of questions for burned-out Boomers and jaded Gen Xers who've been ground down to the stump by the mostly losing battles of the past 30 years. Can it be - at long last - that Americans have, simply, had enough? Are we, finally, stepping out to take back our government - and with it, control of our own future? Is this simply a shifting political season - the kind we get every 20 to 30 years - or is there something deeper going on here? Do we dare to raise our hopes that this time, we're going to finally win a few? Just how ready is this country for big, serious, forward-looking change?Recently, I came across a pocket of sociological research that suggested a tantalizing answer to these questions - and also that America may be far more ready for far more change than anyone really believes is possible at this moment. In fac

PTDR waste-to-energy technology offers benefits in reducing generation of greenhouse gases and thus potentially generates carbon credits. They are GHG emission reductions that are created when a project reduces or avoids the emissions of GHGs.

The less people know about important complex issues such as the economy, energy consumption and the environment, the more they want to avoid becoming well-informed, according to new research published by the American Psychological Association.

PEAT designed, built, operated and maintained a 150 kW pilot plasma gasification system previously located at a facility in Huntsville, Alabama since 1992. The plasma gasification system was able to process 50 to 100 KGs per hour of test materials, depending on the material characteristics.

If idle people remain idle, they are miserable. If idle people become busy, they will be happier, but the outcome may or may not be desirable, depending on the value of the chosen activity. Busyness can be either constructive or destructive. Ideally, idle people should devote their energy to constructive courses, but it is often difficult to predict which actions are constructive...

Conversational Hypnosis and Hypnotic Language Patterns, are the two most important tool for building rapport.

Introducing a standing desk to your office environment will help you boost your energy, reduce pain and discomforts, maintain your health, and improve your productivity. The benefits of standing desks are so huge that every office is now turning to the desks for the sake of employees' health. Read on to learn more.

Some companies focus on processing municipal solid waste (MSW) via plasma-arc plasma gasification. In this application, MSW is generally shredded, then fed into the plasma-arc plasma gasification reactor with very limited and calculated volumes of oxygen or air.

"Mick Pearce is an African architect who has tried to change that model, demonstrating his ideas in two signature buildings, the Eastgate Building in Harare, Zimbabwe, and the Council House 2 Building in Melbourne, Australia. Both buildings employ common-sense passive systems for climate control based on gradients, and both were inspired by the work of a tiny insect, the termite". This kind of design may be a great influence not in the energy saving only, but in the relationship and behavior of the people too. How is to work in such a designed workspace?
