Sponsored by the Biodiesel Production: Technologies, Challenges, and Future Prospects Task Committee of the Technical Committee on Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste Engineering of the Environmental Council of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of ASCEBiodiesel Production: Technologies, Challenges, and Future Prospects presents approaches, technologies, and source materials for biodiesel production, as well as socioeconomic and political impacts of biodiesel applications. As industrialization and population increases, the need for energy is also increasing. Petroleum diesel is a major fuel source worldwide that possesses many disadvantages including decreasing fossil fuel reserves and increasing atmospheric pollution. These pollutants have significant negative impacts on the global environment and human health. Thus, it is imperative to develop alternate fuels and renewable sources of energy that are environmentally sustainable, with biodegradability, low toxicity, and renewability and are less reliant on petroleum products.This book presents a detailed overview of the benefits, impacts, and production of biodiesel. Topics includeHistory, composition, physicochemical properties, and standards; General methods and applications of raw materials;Extraction of lipids from the oil-bearing materials;Nanotechnology and genetic engineering;Conventional methods and use of resins and adsorbents for purification; Management of coproducts; Economic evaluation and environmental impacts; andSocioeconomic and political considerations. Researchers, scientists, engineers, students, policy makers, and government officials will find this book to be an essential reference of comprehensive information on biodiesel production.

Sponsored by the Gas and Liquid Fuels Committee of the Technical Council on Lifeline Earthquake Engineering of ASCE. Seismic Resilience of Natural Gas Systems: Improving Performance highlights seismic risk mitigation issues of interest to engineers and managers responsible for the performance and safety of natural gas pipelines. Whether an earthquake fault is evident on the surface or hidden underground, faults are the most catastrophic failure mechanism for pipelines, although ground shaking, soil liquefaction, landslides, and tsunamis also threaten the integrity of pipeline systems. When a pipeline carries natural gas, the effects of a rupture can be hazardous to life and destructive to property. This collection of essays examines five different approaches to increasing the seismic resilience of natural gas pipelines: use of geofoam as backfill for pipelines; internal pipe lining techniques to increase pipeline strength; computer-based facility system modeling to anticipate failures; pipeline integrity management, which now includes addressing seismic hazards; and seismic shutoff valves and excess flow valves. This book is an up-to-date reference for engineers and managers working to enhance the seismic resilience of natural gas pipeline systems.

Hernieuwbare energie zit duidelijk in de lift. Waar zowat 10 jaar geleden enkel de zogenaamde «geitenwollensokkendrager. met hernieuwbare energie bezig waren, is de sector nu «big busines. geworden. Ondanks de economische crisis van 2009 blijft ze een van de sterkst groeiende sectoren. De groeicijfers inzake biomassa, wind- en zonne-energie zijn zonder meer duizelingwekkend. Bedrijfsleiders ontdekken namelijk steeds meer dat investeren in hernieuwbare energie ook fi nancieel erg rendabel kan zijn. Gelet op de grootte-orde van de investering en de specifieke materie, is het van het hoogste belang om goed genformeerd te zijn. Welke vorm van hernieuwbare energie is mogelijk op uw bedrijf? Wat is het ideale genstalleerd vermogen van de installatie? Welke technische aspecten zijn van belang? Welke subsidies kunt u krijgen? Hoe maakt u een correcte kostenbatenanalyse? Op al die vragen vindt u een antwoord in dit boek.

[5e éd.] Plus de 80 % de l'énergie utilisée aujourd'hui dans le monde provient de gisements de combustibles fossiles (charbon, gaz, pétrole) ou d'uranium. Ces gisements sont épuisables alors que l'énergie fournie par le soleil, les chutes d'eau, la croissance des végétaux, les marées, la chaleur de la terre est renouvelable. Si l'utilisation de ces énergies (auxquelles on associe souvent celle tirée des déchets) n'est évidemment pas nouvelle, elle représente aujourd'hui près de 14 % de la production mondiale d'énergie et pourrait, selon certains scénarios, atteindre 50 % au milieu du XXIVe siècle. Cet ouvrage propose un tableau précis des diverses sources d'énergies renouvelables actuelles, explique les modalités de leur production, présente les lieux où elles sont utilisées et la quantité d'énergie qu'elles fournissent à ce jour.
