A Bulgarian project at Maritsa East power station demonstrated the proper transformation of air pollutants (SOx and NOx) into nitrogen fertilizer. Although this technology has not been put into practice in Bulgaria, it seems feasible on an industrial scale and so it may help to ease Portugal’s reliance on imports of nitrogen fertilizer and thereby contain the outfl ow of Portuguese funds. The d...

The main objective of this Paper was to evaluate the outage cost due to system downtime (Turbine failure) of Egbin Thermal power station from the year 1999 to 2008. The result of the analysis carried out revealed that for the whole ten years under review that there was a power generation loss of 46 percent of the Installed capacity putting the performance of the power station at 54 percent. Fur...

background: in this study, measurement of indoor radon and its progeny levels was carried out in gas turbine power station in haryana ( india ), where natural gas is used as fuel. for comparison, the results of a study carried out in thermal power plant in haryana are also presented. radon being a ubiquitous air pollutant has global impact and its monitoring in the environment at work places is...

Nowadays for power generation, environment is a major consideration. The heart of power generation is power station. At present there are almost above 40(Both Government & Rental) power station in Bangladesh. Among these 80% of power station is gas based. Rest of the 20% is coal, liquid and furnace oil based. Bangladesh has only one Hydraulic power station. These gas and coal based power statio...

A method for digitally reducing thermal plume data obtained from a Bendix Thermal Mapper is presented. This method includes a distortion removal technique and the calculation of apparent blackbody temperature from the scanner's output film. This method is illustrated using data obtained with a Bendix scanner over the Surry Station nuclear power generating facility located on the James River in ...
