Coal Ash Can Be Re-used, But Its Management Practices are Beset with Complications
2014-05-28 18:33:00| Waste Age
Grace Schwartz Certain types of coal ash, such as fly ash and flue gas desulfurization (FGD) solids, are useful as raw materials in making concrete and dry wall. But a significant fraction of coal ash can be enriched with potentially toxic and bioaccumulative elements such as arsenic, selenium and mercury. The tendency for these elements to leach from ash is one of the key aspects of environmental risk for coal ash disposal. read more

Steam eHandbook: Best Practices for Steam Systems
2014-05-21 16:35:00| Chemical Processing
Operating and maintaining a reliable steam system is vital to chemical processing plants and can have significant cost impact on a plant's annual budget. Typical profit drainers in operating and maintaining a steam system include excessive fuel cost, inefficient steam generation, less-than-optimal steam utlization and poor condensate recovery. Ensuring adequate supply of steam often results in excessive capacity usage, expensive fuel choices or condensate draining to grade, leading to compromised efficiency levels and higher steam cost. Because steam systems dependency is unavoidalbe, addressing those three issues is crucial to minimizing steam costs.This Chemical Processing Steam eHandbook presents an overview, steam technologies and strategies for reducing cost associated with using and generating steam including: Controlling steam system energy costs Real-time monitoring - how wireless devices help cut energy losses by detecting failed steam traps Additional resources Learn how to generate savings through steam use and generation.

Italian regulator to probe 'misleading' mobile app practices
2014-05-19 08:49:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Italy's anti-trust and competition regulator AGCM has announced a wide-ranging investigation into what it claims are the "unfair commercial practices" of US tech multinationals Apple, Google and Amazon and French game developer Gameloft in relation to mobile game apps. The AGCM will be looking into whether the four companies are misleading customers by advertising mobile game apps as "free", when the fact is that "subsequent purchases are required to continue playing", said the anti-trust watchdog in a statement. The regulator believes that the practice could be considered misleading because "consumers could wrongly believe that the game is entirely free and insufficient information seems to be provided on how to amend the settings to stop or limit the purchases within the app." The investigation is likely to be concluded before the end of the year and each of the companies could receive a maximum fine of EUR 5 million.
