Energy Efficient and Environmentally Friendly Console Desalination Plant with Low Temperature Distillation

Cost-Efficient and Environmentally Friendly Coating Process

In 1995, Praxair Surface Technologies, Inc., and Surface Solutions, Inc., partnered to develop, test, and evaluate a promising, but experimental, coating technology invented by Surface Solutions. Early work with Surface Solutions' linear magnetron sputtering (LMS) process indicated that it had the potential to apply uniform, high-quality ceramic coatings to the internal surfaces of steel cylind...

Membranes for Environmentally Friendly Energy Processes

Membrane separation systems require no or very little chemicals compared to standard unit operations. They are also easy to scale up, energy efficient, and already widely used in various gas and liquid separation processes. Different types of membranes such as common polymers, microporous organic polymers, fixed-site-carrier membranes, mixed matrix membranes, carbon membranes as well as inorgan...

Desalination by Membrane Distillation

Energy efficient distillation

Distillation is responsible for a significant amount of the energy consumption of the world’s process industry and also in the natural gas processing. There is a significant energy saving potential that can be obtained by applying new energy saving distillation technology that has appeared in the last two decades. The fully thermally coupled dividing wall columns have the attractive feature of ...

Green Communications : Realizing Environmentally Friendly , Cost Effective , and Energy Efficient Wireless Systems

The exponential growth of wireless systems makes their carbon footprint hard to ignore. This chapter presents statistics related to the energy consumption of cellular networks’ infrastructure in order to motivate the need for more efficient and environmentally friendly communications. A definition of the term “Green Communications” is provided along with different metrics that can be used to qu...
