Energy
Monitoring energy is the first step to effective management
Allows statistical analysis of the kilowatts consumed and can quickly identify areas of excess usageBiogas electricity production hits 17 272GWh a year in Europe
Biogas is a green energy using new technology. Undoubtedly, the produced kW cost is not yet a competitor against nuclear or fossil fuel energies, but the systems installed are more and more efficient, and their financial profitability is increasing. Marc Schaller reportsWaste-to-energy market is booming
Waste management in Europe is no longer a haulage and disposal business. The legislative shifts of the past decade have seen major moves towards the implementation of advanced technology and innovative recycling solutionsProgrammable power supply delivers 2.4kW
Genesys rack-mount programmable power supply is 1U high and delivers 2.4kW with high efficiencyElectronics
Update on the LTE and mobile Wimax battle
IMS Research has prepared a report on Wimax and competitive systems, with the future for mobile Wimax not looking as good as might be expectedPower supplies benefit from digital control
EFE series power supplies employ an eight-bit microcontroller for full digital control of the output and to handle housekeeping routinesPower supplies can be operated remotely
TTi's latest PL-P series high-performance DC power supplies are equipped with USB, RS-232 and Ethernet ports for remote operationEnhanced range of fork and angle sensors
Balluff's family of fork and angle sensors have been redesigned to offer higher performance and an infrared option for applications in dusty areas

Waste-to-energy market is booming
Waste management in Europe is no longer a haulage and disposal business. The legislative shifts of the past decade have seen major moves towards the implementation of advanced technology and innovative recycling solutionsLight-absorbing materials cut solar power cost
Scientists are researching new ways of harnessing the sun’s rays that could eventually make it cheaper for people to use solar energy to power their homesUrban wind farm helps revitalise the rust belt
Wind farms are normally associated with mountainous areas and remote regions. But how about one planted in a city on the site of an old steel mill? Drew Robb reports.Protecting against wind turbine grid disturbances
A major Spanish wind farm owner and operator is investing in new technology which overcomes grid disturbances, as research from the same country proposes new solutions to the same issueOil & Gas
Research drives improvements in biofuel processing
Two new biofuel research strategies have made important advances: one that uses fungus to improve corn-to-ethanol processing, and one that converts biomass material such as switchgrass and algae into synthesis gasOil-free rental compressors
Both units will operate alternatively to support testing and commissioning of a two train LNG processing plantFlowmeters cut oil platform costs
Meters form part of a chemical injection metering skid system to be installed in drilling and production platform located offshore AngolaHigh performance offshore hoses
