Equador Hyrdo Electric resources

-



 Coca Codo Sinclair dam, Ecuador’s biggest hydroelectric power, started its energy generation tests on Thursday, before it is officially inaugurated in the following days, the Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy informed.
Coca Codo Sinclair, with its 1500 MW, will meet 30% of the national demand, generate savings of 600 million dollars a year for the country and generate surplus for exports which will result in additional resources to boost the economy.
Vice president Jorge Glas will inaugurate the four first units of the plant, located between the Amazonian provinces of Napo and Sucumbios, whose assembly ended last February leading to the current energy generation tests.
Studies from the Ministry of Electricity determined that the operation of the dam will provide clean energy and avoid emissions for 3,5 million tons of CO2 a year, an equivalent to the contamination produced by 1,2 million cars.

Ecuador's hydroelectric energy expansion is a critical part of Ecuador's strategy to reduce the effects of climate change. The Ecuadorian Ministry of Strategic Resources expects hydroelectric energy to reduce the country's total carbon output by 11 million tons per year.
Currently, Ecuador accounts for less than 1 percent of the world's CO2 emissions. Nevertheless, the Ecuadorian government is seeking to assume greater responsibility for its tiny role in world CO2 emissions by investing in renewable energies such as hydroelectricity.

In its struggle to meet growing energy demands, reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and lessen dependence on costly fuel imports for thermal generators, Ecuador has proposed the implementation of up to 226 new hydroelectric projects. Unfortunately, Ecuador's past dam projects (which had an installed capacity of 1,750 megawatts in 2006) have a history of being substantially over sized and have left large environmental footprints without delivering the promised energy benefits.

HiIgh 4-ethyl phenol (4-EP) using activated carbon (AC)

-
China Study shows that  highest quality  4-ethyl phenol (4-EP)  was produced at 300 Degrees C Fast pyrolysis of bagasse catalyzed by activated carbon (AC) at low temperatures offered a new and promising way to produce the valuable 4-ethyl phenol (4-EP) compound in high selectivity. In this study, the technique of pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) was first applied to investigate several factors on the 4-EP production, including biomass type, fast pyrolysis temperature, AC-to-bagasse ratio, and catalytic pattern (in situ or ex situ catalysis). Moreover, fast pyrolysis experiments by using AC catalyst were conducted in a lab-scale setup to quantitatively determine the pyrolytic products. The experimental results indicated that, among these five herbaceous biomass materials, bagasse was the best material to produce 4-vinylphenol (4-VP) from the noncatalytic process and 4-EP from the catalytic fast pyrolysis process, respectively. 4-VP and its prec...

Catalytic Pyrolysis Study

-
This Study seems to be on behalf of the KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) reaching towards goal of an energy circular economy. Natural Zeolite is a cheap local product there and they wanted to try it out. In the Catalytic process, the catalytic process enhances the target pyrolysis reactions and reduces reaction times and temperature, improves the liquid oil quality and increased the overall process efficiency (quote from a 2012 article). The surface area, acidity,, porce size and volume are key features of the catalyst: list of catalysts tried: FCC, cilica alumina, MCM-41, and zeolites like Y-zeolite, HZSM, and ZSM-5 -FCC microporuse increases liquids, ZSM-5 increases gas yield due to mesoporus structure. Microporus catalysts linit the entrance of higher Hydrocarbons High acidity catalysts increase liquid and decrease gases (2016 study) Zeolite is a new catalyst and is not in many studies ( The Italians I did an article about say they are using zeolite) The study aims to study...
