Factors contributing for higher energy consumptio

n

Most of the energy consumed in fertiliser industry is in the production of nitrogenous fertiliser and that too in the production of ammonia. In the past the energy consumption per unit production has been high. The new plants have been performing much better and the energy consumption is comparable to the best in the world. The old plants have also improved their performance but have the limitation of old technology and inefficient feedstock.

The energy consumption for the production of ammonia in a modern steam reforming plant is 50-60% above the thermodynamic minimum. More than half the excess consumption is due to compression losses and release of low-level energy that is not economical to recover.


.4.1  Ammonia Production Process

Ammonia is produced basically from water, air and energy. The energy source is usually hydrocarbon that provides hydrogen for fixing the nitrogen. The other energy input required is steam and power. This can be through coal or petroleum products or purchased power from a utility company.

Steam reformation process of light hydrocarbon particularly Natural Gas (NG) is the most efficient route for the production of ammonia.


Case study on Major Chemical Disasters-One day Symposium on “Prevention of Industrial/Chemical Disasters at Bangaloru

Accidents in Chemical process industries constitute major threat to property and population because of the magnitude. With the rapid development in science and technology, several new innovations have come up and Chemical process industries deal with thousands of new chemicals and several processes.


Security Begins With You

We live in a world of ever-increasing risk. No workplace – be it a construction site, office building, factory floor, or retail store – is immune from these threats. Risks threaten worker safety, employee morale, and your company’s economic livelihood.

Some threats are intentional acts, such as sabotage and violence. Others are caused by natural disasters or manmade accidents.

There are a number of safety problems common to most workplaces and job sites that can be solved with a little common sense. Planning and thinking ahead can help eliminate most of these hazards. Take a close look at your workplace with these suggestions in mind.

Eliminate junk piles. Organize a clean up program to remove trash, broken parts, and scrap from work areas, walkways, storerooms, and neglected corners. Look for materials that have been stacked improperly.


When considering fire sprinkler design for any building, it's important to follow the following steps:

1. Determine the fire hazard level in the building Every building should be classified for fire risk under the following categories: light hazard, ordinary hazard group 1, ordinary hazard group 2, extra hazard group 1, or extra hazard group 2.


A fire hydrant is an above-ground connection that provides access to a water supply for the purpose of fighting fires. The water supply may be pressurized, as in the case of hydrants connected to water mains buried in the street, or unpressurized, as in the case of hydrants connected to nearby ponds or cisterns. Every hydrant has one or more outlets to which a fire hose may be connected. If the water supply is pressurized, the hydrant will also have one or more valves to regulate the water flow.


Incidents can yield positive results if we learn from what went wrong and prevent a reoccurrence. To achieve this we need to investigate the circumstances that led to the incident and report, record, analyses and correct its effects. This requires personnel trained in accident reporting and investigation techniques all of which is an essential element of any effective safety management system. It is important to conduct accident investigations with accident prevention in mind.


Going Beyond Lost time Injuries

“You can’t manage what you can’t measure” – Drucker

"If we are in the business of promoting OHS, why do we use failures as the measure of our success?"  - Rose

Today, many industries and indeed regulatory agencies still focus completely on common safety performance measures such as lost time injury frequency rate and number of lost days in an effort to measure safety performance.


National Green Tribunal Act (NGT) was established in 2010, under India's constitutional provision of Article 21, which assures the citizens of India, the right to a healthy environment. The tribunal itself, is a special fast-track court to handle the expeditious disposal of the cases pertaining to environmental issues.

An Introduction to Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)

Biological Pollutants

Biological contaminants include bacteria, molds, mildew, viruses, animal dander and cat saliva, house dust, mites, cockroaches, and pollen .). There are many sources of these pollutants. Pollens originate from plants; viruses are transmitted by people and animals; bacteria are carried by people, animals, and soil and plant debris; and household pets are sources of saliva and animal dander.


What is Secondhand Smoke?

Secondhand smoke is a mixture of the smoke given off by the burning end of a cigarette, pipe, or cigar, and the smoke exhaled by smokers. Secondhand smoke is also called environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and exposure to secondhand smoke is sometimes called involuntary or passive smoking. Secondhand smoke contains more that 4,000 substances, several of which are known to cause cancer in humans or animals.


Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids. VOCs include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects. Concentrations of many VOCs are consistently higher indoors (up to ten times higher) than outdoors. VOCs are emitted by a wide array of products numbering in the thousands.

Minister Krishna, members of the Indian Government, friends and colleagues:

It is a pleasure to be back in India.

I have been looking forward to this visit—not only for the chance to spend time in India, a nation for which I have a great deal of personal affection—but also to continue the important work we are doing together in this Strategic Dialogue.


Reviewing Site Plans for Stormwater Management

Considering Stormwater

Management in Site Plan Review

. A major consideration of this site plan review should be the proposed development’s impact on water resources, particularly from polluted stormwater runoff, or “nonpoint source pollution.”

Traditionally, stormwater management has emphasized water quantity, with little concern for water quality.


The pH Factor – The Real Silent Killer

By I. Gerald Olarsch, N.D.

The body is largely made up of water, a medium which is most biologically useful in allowing nutrients and various chemicals to be transported from place to place. Surprisingly, only half of a woman’s physical weight is made up of body fluids (generally because they naturally have more fat), while it’s close to 60% for males, and 75% for infants.

The Global Climate Coalition (GCC) was founded in 1989 when 46 big US corporations felt that the necessary fight against climate changes might become problem for maximizing their profits.


Top 10 Environmental Protection Agencies

Pin I Sha Environmental protection is the joint responsibility of every inhabitant of this planet, also know as the blue planet or Earth. There are different kinds of pollutants and contaminants spreading at a rapid speed in the natural environment around us, such as the atmosphere, sediment, surface water, soil and groundwater.


CONTROLLED USE OF POLYTHENE BAGS WRITTEN IN HINDI ON BANNER

If you read environmental web sites regularly, then you’re aware about the damage that the plastics make to the planet. However, we chose 20 Facts About Plastics that will make you think about it once again and make you sure that you’ve done the right thing when you decided to go green. If not, then you have to know these facts, because the environment needs it.

1. Plastic needs about 450 just to start decomposing.


UK households produced 30.5 million tonnes of waste in 2003/04, of which 17% was collected for recycling (source: defra.gov.uk). This figure is still quite low compared to some of our neighbouring EU countries, some recycling over 50% of their waste. There is still a great deal of waste which could be recycled that ends up in landfill sites which is harmful to the environment.

Recycling is an excellent way of saving energy and conserving the environment.


Single-use bags, both paper and plastic, represent a huge threat to the environment. This threat is not only related to the sheer volume of them ending up in landfill, but also to the resources needed to produce, transport and (occasionally) recycle them, and the emissions resulting from these processes. Single-use plastic bags are also well known for their interference in ecosystems and the part they play in flood events, where they clog pipes and drains.




Why We Should Care

For many coastal communities, the survival of marine and coastal ecosystems and biodiversity is essential to their nutritional, spiritual, societal and religious well-being. But even for the many millions of people who may not think that they have any strong reliance on the ocean, marine ecosystems and wildlife provide all kinds of benefits. Many coastal environments provide protection for those farther inland from the ravages of the sea.


The Human Impact

For many coastal peoples, the sea is rich in meaning and spirituality, religiously significant and central to their very being. The legends and traditions of the Maori of New Zealand feature fishing heavily, with one tale positing that the country was discovered by the great explorer Kupe while hunting a giant octopus.


Marine Biodiversity is the theme for this year's International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB). Designation of IDB 2012 on the theme of marine ecosystems provides Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and everyone interested in marine life, the opportunity to raise awareness of the issue and increase practical action.


Introduction

The United Nations proclaimed May 22 The International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) to increase understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues. When first created by the Second Committee of the UN General Assembly in late 1993, 29 December (the date of entry into force of the Convention of Biological Diversity), was designated The International Day for Biological Diversity.


Eukaryotic cells possess a discrete, membrane-bounded nucleus, the repository of the cell’s genetic material, which is distributed among a few or many chromosomes. During cell division, equivalent copies of this genetic material must be passed to both daughter cells through duplication and orderly partitioning of the chromosomes by the process known as mitosis. Like prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane.


Hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen constitute more than 99% of the atoms in the human body, with most of the H and O occurring as H2O. Oxygen, silicon, aluminum, and iron are the most abundant atoms in the earth’s crust, with hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen being relatively rare (less than 0.2% each). Nitrogen as dinitrogen (N2) is the predominant gas in the atmosphere, and carbon dioxide (CO2) is present at a level of 0.05%, a small but critical amount.

INTRODUCTION TO OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY ---

I. Introduction

What is occupational health and safety?

Occupational health and safety is a discipline with a broad scope involving many specialized fields.


I. Introduction

What is occupational health and safety?

Occupational health and safety is a discipline with a broad scope involving many specialized fields.


I. Introduction

Not all sound is noise — noise is sound that people do not like. Noise can be annoying and it can interfere with your ability to work by causing stress and disturbing your concentration. Noise can cause accidents by interfering with communication and warning signals. Noise can cause chronic health problems. Noise can also cause you to lose your hearing.

Hearing loss from exposure to noise in the workplace is one of the most common of all industrial diseases.




VERY TOXIC BY INHALATION




Introduction

How does the body fight hazards?

The human body has natural defence systems which help to protect you against many hazards (dangers). These defence systems also help the body to heal (repair) itself when it gets injured or sick. However, there are hazards — arising from bacteria, viruses, chemicals, dusts, vapours, noise, extreme temperatures, work processes, etc.


International labour standards evolve from a growing international concern that action needs to be taken on a particular issue, for example providing working women with maternity protection, or ensuring safe working conditions for agricultural workers. Developing international labour standards at the ILO is a unique legislative process involving representatives of governments, workers and employers from around the world.


Promoting safety and health in a green economy

The report highlights occupational safety and health (OSH) as an integral part of the promotion of green jobs and a greener economy to achieve an economic and social development that is also environmentally sustainable.


SHIMLA: The green bench of the Himachal Pradesh high court slapped a fine of Rs 100 crore on Jaiprakash Associates on Friday for setting up a cement plant fraudulently. The court quashed the environmental clearance granted to the company's thermal plant and directed that it be dismantled within three months. It also called for a special investigation team to be set up to see if state officials were involved.


Women’s health

Key facts

On average, women live six to eight years longer than men globally. In 2007, women's life expectancy at birth was more than 80 years in 35 countries, but only 54 years in the WHO African Region. Girls are far more likely than boys to suffer sexual abuse. Road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death among adolescent girls in high- and middle-income countries. Essentially all (99%) of the half a million maternal deaths every year occur in developing countries.


The right to health

The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without the distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition.

- WHO Constitution

The right to health means that governments must generate conditions in which everyone can be as healthy as possible.


Key facts

Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) is a bacterium that can cause severe foodborne disease. Primary sources of EHEC outbreaks are raw or undercooked ground meat products, raw milk and faecal contamination of vegetables. In most cases, the illness is self-limiting, but it may lead to a life-threatening disease including haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS), especially in young children and the elderly. EHEC is heat-sensitive.


Key facts

Climate change affects the fundamental requirements for health – clean air, safe drinking water, sufficient food and secure shelter. The global warming that has occurred since the 1970s was causing over 140 000 excess deaths annually by the year 2004. Many of the major killers such as diarrhoeal diseases, malnutrition, malaria and dengue are highly climate-sensitive and are expected to worsen as the climate changes.


Key facts

Around 3 billion people cook and heat their homes using open fires and leaky stoves burning biomass (wood, animal dung and crop waste) and coal. Nearly 2 million people die prematurely from illness attributable to indoor air pollution from household solid fuel use. Nearly 50% of pneumonia deaths among children under five are due to particulate matter inhaled from indoor air pollution.


These strange plants are found all over the world. Insect eating plants develop and grow in much the same way that other plants develop. They require air, water, and sunshine in order to be healthy. However, they also need certain minerals, especially nitrogen. Most plants get their nitrogen from the soil in which they grow. But insect devouring plants are unable to do this. They grow in warm, marshy places that contains very little nitrogen.


Air pollution is a major environmental risk to health. By reducing air pollution levels, we can help countries reduce the global burden of disease from respiratory infections, heart disease, and lung cancer. The lower the levels of air pollution in a city, the better respiratory (both long- and short-term), and cardiovascular health of the population will be. Indoor air pollution is estimated to cause approximately 2 million premature deaths mostly in developing countries.


Millions of women and men around the world are denied access to jobs and training, receive low wages, or are restricted to certain occupations simply on the basis of their sex, skin colour, ethnicity or beliefs, without regard to their capabilities and skills. In a number of developed countries, for example, women workers earn up to 25% less than male colleagues performing equal work.


Hundreds of millions of people suffer from discrimination in the world of work. This not only violates a most basic human right, but has wider social and economic consequences. Discrimination stifles opportunities, wasting the human talent needed for economic progress, and accentuates social tensions and inequalities. Combating discrimination is an essential part of promoting decent work, and success on this front is felt well beyond the workplace.


In his message for the World Day for Safety and Health at Work, celebrated 28 April of each year, the ILO Director General reiterated the need to focus on the promotion of safer and healthier workplaces in the transition to a greener economy.

Statement | 25 April 2012

On this World Day for Safety and Health at Work it is timely to focus on the opportunity to promote safer and healthier workplaces as part of decent work strategies in the transition to a greener economy.


On this year's World Day for Health and Safety at Work, 28 April, WHO joins the International Labour Organization in calling for concerted global action to promote occupational safety and health in a "green economy" - one of the themes of the upcoming RIO+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, 20-22 June. Ensuring workers' health is an essential prerequisite for sustainable development.


A confined space is defined as a place

that is partially or fully enclosed that is not both designed and constructed for continuous human occupancy, and where atmospheric hazards may occur because of its construction, location, or contents, or because of work that is done in it. All three criteria have to be met before a space is defined as a confined space.

Hazards in confined spaces can be categorized as either physical hazards or atmospheric hazards.


as per the study of Ontario

n Ontario, motor vehicle collisions are one of the leading causes of workers' injuries and fatalities. On an average day in Ontario, motor vehicle collisions will kill more than two people and injure more than 180 others, making motor vehicle incidents (MVIs) the biggest risk Ontarians face each day they go to work.


Some facts and figures about Nature

Ecotourism is the fastest-growing area of the tourism industry. In 2004, this market grew three times faster than the industry as a whole.  Wetlands store 20% of the Earth’s carbon. Londoners consume of 72,000 tonnes of fish each year, much of it from the North Sea but also from the coastal waters of the Pacific Ocean.


The planet is warming, from North Pole to South Pole, and everywhere in between. Globally, the mercury is already up more than 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius), and even more in sensitive polar regions. And the effects of rising temperatures aren’t waiting for some far-flung future. They’re happening right now. Signs are appearing all over, and some of them are surprising.

Species - our food and medecine

While most people depend mainly on domesticated species for their dietary needs, some 200 million depend on wild species for at least part of their food. More than 60 wild species have been used to improve the world’s 13 major crops by providing genes for pest resistance, improved yield, and enhanced nutrition.


Mango is a tropical tree cultivated in many regions of India and now distributed wide across the world in many continents. Usually, fruits grow at the end of a long, string like stem, with sometimes more than one fruit to a stem.

Each fruit measures 5 to 15 cm in length and about 4 to 10 cm in width, and has typical “mango” shape, or sometimes oval or round. Its weight ranges from 150 gm to around 750 gm.




The new rules on e-waste that have come into effect from May 1 can be seen as the first step towards reducing pollution of the information era. The E-Waste (Management and Handling) Rule, 2011 were notified on May 30, 2011 by the Union ministry of environment and forests (MoEF), which set May 1, 2012 as the date for implementation.


Food security

All people at all times have access at an affordable price to the basic food they need to meet their energy requirements.

Nutrition security

Nutrition security means that every individual has access to a balanced diet that includes all essential nutrients (e.g. proteins/amino acids, vitamins, nutritive trace elements). Nutrition security cannot be achieved without first having food security.

Many grandiose visions have been developed to depict how humans have shaped destiny in the new century that is fast approaching. These visions are based on scenario involving highly sophisticated breakthrough with vast potentials – colonies in space, robot operated plants, computers that match human intelligence and so on.


Gandhi And Deep Ecology

By Thomas Weber

The central importance of Gandhi to nonviolent activism is widely acknowledged. There are also other significant peace-related bodies of knowledge that have gained such popularity in the West in the relatively recent past that they have changed the directions of thought and have been important in encouraging social movements - yet they have not been analysed in terms of antecedents, especially Gandhian ones.


“Hepatitis C is rapidly spreading among young garbage pickers/scavengers, as they pick up used syringes and other clinical waste from different public/private hospitals of the city for recycling…” This story carried in “The News International”, a Karachi newspaper in December, 2007 quoted an official as saying that most hospitals in the city were not disposing of their infectious waste properly.


World Day for Safety and Health at Work, Saturday 28 April 2012

GENEVA (28 April 2012) – UN Special Rapporteur Calin Georgescu warned that millions of workers around the world are still exposed to disease and injury in their places of work, and called on countries’ attention to promoting and creating a safe working environment to reduce the number of work-related deaths each year.

The residence time gives us an idea of how long it takes for an air contaminant to be removed from the atmosphere. For example, the residence times of carbon dioxide and carbon mono-oxide are 15 years and 65 days respectively. Carbon monoxide is quite reactive, while CO2  is much more stable.

There are two methods involved in the cleansing of the atmosphere:

In the atmosphere, rain, snow, and dew tend to wash smoke, dust, pollen, and gaseous waste products.

NEW DELHI: The rise in sea level by 1.29 millimetre every year along the Indian coastline has not caused any major erosion, science and technology and earth sciences minister Vilasrao Deshmukh informed the Rajya Sabha today.

He said during Question Hour that the ministry of environment was conducting a study on the impact of the rising sea levels.


NEW DELHI: The fight against climate change will take a strategic jump in the 12th Five-Year Plan (2012-2017) with the government intending to plough in almost Rs 2 lakh crore through the various missions, the working group on climate of the 12th Five-Year Plan has said.

The report seeks setting up of a dedicated structure of governance to oversee the different programmes under the 12th Plan with such large funds to be invested.

-9000 is the name for the Quality System Requirements used to increase customer confidence in the quality of its suppliers.

The idea of QS-9000 is quite similar to ISO-9000, International Quality System Standard, but QS-9000 applies particularly to the automotive industry for Chrysler Corporation, Ford Motor Company, General Motors Corporation, and truck manufacturers.


SPECTROPHOTOMETER THEORY

A spectrophotometer is an instrument that measures the quantity of electromagnetic radiation transmitted through a sample as a function of wavelength. We will use the term intensity for quantity. Depending upon which model (particle or wave) of light is used, intensity is related to the density of photons in the beam or to the amplitude of the light wave.


A lot of confusion exists on the differences between an Environmental Management System Audit and a Compliance Audit. An Environmental Management System, ( an EMS) ensures that environmental issues are systematically identified, controlled, and monitored. It provides a mechanism for responding to changing environmental conditions and requirements reporting on environmental performance, and reinforcing continual improvement.


In India, diversity exists in the quality and quantity of natural resources and their distribution with respect to time and space. For example, India hosts 15% of the animal population, which, apart from supplying milk and draught power in agricultural operations, contributes valuable plant nutrients as supplement to the fertilizer nutrients. Indian cattle, however, have different genetic make up compared to the those in developed countries.


It is our vision to unite one and all in a celebration of love and compassion. We honor each May 1st as a symbolic day of unconditional love and call upon all people and all nations to gather together in the wisdom of peace and love.

Global Love Day is the universal recognition of our innate oneness through love.  When we come from this limitless love we naturally and easily embrace ourselves and our fellow humanity.

After Bhopal disaster, the next remarkable disaster took place at Chemobyl Nuclear Power Station in the Soviet Union on 26-4-1986 and the losses reported are as under.

The accident led to 31 deaths and 203 have suffered various degrees of radiation sickness. 14 were in hospital with 80 to 90 per cent burns due to radiation. The 1,35,0100 people around Chemobyl who were evacuated to safer sites would be monitored for radiation effects.


All the 25 major causes of this accident stated above in (A) and (B) suggest the remedial measures. To avoid repetition, all these contributing causes should be removed first and necessary steps should be taken to run the plant always safe and sound, with all the safety devices properly working.  The working conditions must be improved and unsafe actions must be removed by proper policy, training and education.


Unsafe Actions:

1.         The leak was not attended as soon as it was reported. Initial time passed in tea break.

2.         The first information of five-fold pressure rise was dismissed in the belief that the pressure gauge could be faulty.

3.         A newly recruited supervisor had asked a novice operator to clean a pipe and the blind disc was not inserted while doing so.

4.         The public siren was put on around 1 am.


From the published press reports they seem to be:

1.         The refrigeration system to keep the gas cool was closed since long.

2.         The vent gas scrubber was underdesigned, not repaired and not connected.

3.         The corroded flare tower pipe not replaced and not connected.

4.         The water curtain jests were underdesigned to reach the maximum height.

5.         All the three tanks were filled in while one ought to have kept empty to use as emergency bypass.

BHOPAL GAS DISASTER

It was the night of 2nd December 1984 when the night shift staff of the Union Carbide Factory, Bhopal, took a round at @ II pm. There were three double walled, partly buried S.S. tanks (No. 610, 611 and 619) each of 60 tonne capacity and all containing the poisonous gas MIC (Methyl isocyanate) to be used to produce a deadly pesticide Carbaryl. At @ 11-30 pm. workers in the plant realised that there was a MIC leak some where : their eyes began to tear.

Currently, aircraft with more than 30 passenger seats were all designed and certified under the strictest regulations. Also, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, larger aircraft provide a better opportunity for passenger survival.


1) Introduction :-

Every year several people are killed or seriously injured by collapses and falling materials while working in excavations. They are at risk from:

(a) Excavations collapsing and burying or injuring people working in them;

(b) Material falling from the sides into any excavation; and

(c) People or plant falling into excavations…etc.

We are responsible to prevent danger to workers in or near excavations.

What is Organizational Innovation?

Organizational innovation refers to new ways work can be organized, and accomplished within an organization to encourage and promote competitive advantage.


Organizational innovation refers to new ways work can be organized, and accomplished within an organization to encourage and promote competitive advantage. It encompasses how organizations, and individuals specifically, manage work processes in such areas as customer relationships, employee performance and retention, and knowledge management.

At the core of organizational innovation is the need to improve or change a product, process or service.


What Makes a Company Innovative?

It’s not what you think. Innovation today is such an overused word, and often ill-defined, that we thought it was important to ask today's innovation practioners what they thought it took for their company to be 'innovative.'

More than creativity, the #1 thing that makes a company innovative is a climate that continuously fosters innovation. This is a shift in thinking from popular belief.


Factors promoting organisational innovation

Research has shown that 3 main factors influence organisational innovation:

Behaviour of individuals

Internal characteristics of organisation

Extra-organisational factors (external market factors)

Behaviour of individuals

There is significant evidence a participative and interactive leadership style promotes innovation

Availability of change agents promotes innovation - internal or external individuals willing and able to drive innovation.


National Investigation Agency (NIA) is a federal agency approved by the Indian Government to combat terror in India. The agency is empowered to deal with terror related crimes across states without special permission from the states. The National Investigation Agency Bill 2008 to create the agency was moved in Parliament by Union Home Minister on 16 December 2008. NIA was created after the Nov 2008 Mumbai terror attacks as need for a central agency to combat terrorism was realised.


Carrying Capacity Studies

This is a innovative study and first of its kind in the country to study the pressure on the resources towards development process. GoAP has released an amount of Rs. 1.00 crore as grant to the study. EPTRI sent a proposal for Rs. 1.5 crores to GoI. Efforts are being made to collect Rs. 50.00 lakhs from the industries situated in and around Visakhapatnam. A field office is established at Visakhapatnam and posted 2 EPTRI staff members to operationalizing the Office.


Trafigura Beheer BV, the world’s third largest oil trading firm, will invest Rs.1,250 crore in Nagarjuna Oil Corp. Ltd’s (NOCL) proposed refinery in Tamil Nadu.

Trafigura Pte Ltd, the Singapore-based unit of the Dutch firm, will invest Rs.650 crore to buy a 24% stake in NOCL, the oil refining arm of the Hyderabad-based Nagarjuna Group, the group said in a statement on Thursday.




CPCB has identified list of polluted cities in which the prescribed National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) are violated. These cities have been identified based on ambient air quality data obtained under National Air Quality Monitoring Programme (NAMP). Action plans are being formulated and implemented to control air pollution in non-attainment cities by respective states.






Central Pollution Control Board is executing a nation-wide programme of ambient air quality monitoring known as National Air Quality Monitoring Programme (NAMP). The network consists of three hundred and forty two (342) operating stations covering one hundred and twenty seven (127) cities/towns in twenty six (26) states and four (4) Union Territories of the country.

Chlorination Chemistry

When chlorine is added to water, a variety of chemical processes take place.  The chlorine reacts with compounds in the water and with the water itself.  Some of the results of these reactions (known as the chlorine residual) are able to kill microorganisms in the water.  In the following sections, we will show the chemical reactions which occur when chlorine is added to water.


Agni-V is an intercontinental ballistic missile developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) of India. It is part of the Agni series of missiles, one of the missile systems under the original Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme. It will greatly expand India's reach to strike targets at least 5,500 kilometres (3,400 mi) away.


When the body heats up faster than it can cool itself, mild to severe illnesses may develop. It’s important to recognize the symptoms of heat-related illnesses and understand how to prevent, control and respond to their effects.

Air temperature, humidity and clothing can increase the risk of developing heat-related illnesses. So can age, sex, weight, physical fitness, nutrition, alcohol or drug use, or pre-existing diseases like diabetes.


Economic development is essential to meeting human needs and to eliminating the poverty that affects so many people around the world. The sustainable use of nature is essential for the long-term success of development strategies. A major challenge for the 21st century will be making the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity a compelling basis for development policies, business decisions, and consumer desires.


An Agreement for Action

While concern for the environment is constant in history, heightened concern about environmental destruction and loss of species and ecosystems in the seventies led to concerted action. In 1972, the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment (Stockholm) resolved to establish the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).


The rich tapestry of life on our planet is the outcome of over 3.5 billion years of evolutionary history. It has been shaped by forces such as changes in the planet's crust, ice ages, fire, and interaction among species. Now, it is increasingly being altered by humans. From the dawn of agriculture, some 10,000 years ago, through the Industrial Revolution of the past three centuries, we have reshaped our landscapes on an ever-larger and lasting scale.


Biological diversity - or biodiversity - is the term given to the variety of life on Earth and the natural patterns it forms. The biodiversity we see today is the fruit of billions of years of evolution, shaped by natural processes and, increasingly, by the influence of humans. It forms the web of life of which we are an integral part and upon which we so fully depend. This diversity is often understood in terms of the wide variety of plants, animals and microorganisms.


Overview

India is one of the 17 “megadiverse” countries and is composed of a diversity of ecological habitats like forests, grasslands, wetlands, coastal and marine ecosystems, and desert ecosystems. Almost 70% of the country has been surveyed and around 45,000 plant species (including fungi and lower plants) and 89,492 animal species have been described, including 59,353 insect species, 2,546 fish species, 240 amphibian species, 460 reptile species, 1,232 bird species and 397 mammal species.




WHEN WAS CHLORINE FIRST USED?

What we know as "Chlorine" was first discovered in the 16th century, and today it is used in a variety of industrial products, as well as many household products we need & use every day. In fact, chlorine is one of the most produced chemicals in the US!

WHAT EXACTLY IS CHLORINE?

Chlorine is a by-product of the electrolysis of salt water.

Health & Safety Culture

(A). Introduction

The purpose of this bullettin is to give you a fundamental idea about the subject “ Health and Safety

Culture” and to identify and correct your behaviour, if applicable, to promote a positive Health and Safety

Culture in our organisation. The success or failure of EHS implementation in an organisation depends on the

EHS Culture existing in the organisation.


1.Introduction-What is Noise :-

We are surrounded by sound all the time- We use it as a means of communication and as a source of entertainment ( Music)..etc. without it, we may become disoriented. However, in certain circumstances, it can be an intense irritation and a considerable hazard at work. In such circumstances, unwanted sound is usually referred to as Noise.


Earth Day Network - India

India has emerged as a decisive environmental, social, economic and political power. Earth Day Network is engaging with partners to build and enhance the region’s civic mobilization and leadership in the environmental movement.

Building on the success of its 40th Anniversary Earth Day campaign, Earth Day Network has launched a permanent India Program, head- quartered in Kolkata, India.


What is the Ecological Footprint?

The Ecological Footprint is a resource accounting tool that measures how much biologically productive land and sea is used by a given population or activity, and compares this to how much land and sea is available. Productive land and sea areas support human demands for food, fiber, timber, energy, and space for infrastructure. These areas also absorb the waste products from the human economy.


INSTALLATION

1.  Provide sufficient clearance at the channel or bonnet end of the unit to permit removal of tube bundles from shells.  On the floating head end, a space of 3 or 4 feet should be provided to permit the removal of the floating head.

2.  Foundations must be adequate so that exchangers will not settle and cause piping strains.  Foundation bolts should be set to allow for setting inaccuracies.


Corrective action and preventive action (CAPA, also called corrective action / preventive action) are improvements to an organization's processes taken to eliminate causes of non-conformities or other undesirable situations. CAPA is a concept within good manufacturing practice (GMP). It focuses on the systematic investigation of the root causes of non-conformities in an attempt to prevent their recurrence (for corrective action) or to prevent occurrence (for preventive action).


New Delhi, April 18 2012 (IANS) The ministry of environment and forests has issued guidelines to stop experimentation on animals for training undergraduate and post-graduate students in colleges and to instead use alternatives such as computer-aided simulators for the purpose.

"The guidelines were issued to the Medical Council of India (MCI), Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) and University Grants Commission (UGC) recently.


COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDER SAFETY

Compressed gases present a unique hazard. Depending on the particular gas, there is a potential for simultaneous exposure to both mechanical and chemical hazards. Gases may be:

Flammable or combustible Explosive Corrosive Poisonous Inert or a combination of hazards If the gas is flammable, flash points lower than room temperature compounded by high rates of diffusion present a danger of fire or explosion.


It's easy to remember how to use a fire extinguisher if you can remember the acronym PASS, which stands for Pull, Aim, Squeeze, and Sweep.


Fires can be very dangerous and you should always be certain that you will not endanger yourself or others when attempting to put out a fire. For this reason, when a fire is discovered:

Assist any person in immediate danger to safety, if it can be accomplished without risk to yourself. Activate the building fire alarm system or notify the fire department by dialing 911 (or designating someone else to notify them for you).


The Fire Triangle

In order to understand how fire extinguishers work, you first need to know a little bit about fire.

Four things must be present at the same time in order to produce fire:

Enough oxygen to sustain combustion, Enough heat to raise the material to its ignition temperature, Some sort of fuel or combustible material, and The chemical, exothermic reaction that is fire.


OSHA, recognizing the unique characteristics of the laboratory workplace, has tailored a standard for occupational exposure to hazardous chemicals in laboratories. This standard is often referred to as the "Laboratory Standard". Under this standard, a laboratory is required to produce a Chemical Hygiene Plan which addresses the specific hazards found in its location, and its approach to them.

Laboratory hazards are addressed in specific standards for the general industry.




This safety talk is designed for discussion leaders to use in preparing safety meetings. Set a specific time and date for your safety meeting. Publicize your meeting so everyone involved will be sure to attend. Review this safety talk before the meeting and become familiar with its content. Make notes about the points made in this talk that pertain to your workplace. You should be able to present the material in your own words and lead the discussion without reading it.


Acid Rain Facts

What causes acid rain?

Acid deposition is a general term that includes more than simply acid rain. Acid deposition primarily results from the transformation of sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides into dry or moist secondary pollutants such as sulphuric acid (H2SO4), ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) and nitric acid (HNO3).


Irrigation is an artificial application of water to the soil for the following purposes

Irrigation is needed for normal growth and yield of the plant.

It is needed for metabolic processes of the plant.

To reduce the soil temperature.

For easy germination of the seeds from the soil.

Irrigation water acts as a medium for transport of nutrients and photosynthates in the plant system.

To provide crop insurance against short duration drought.

To washout dilute salts in the soil.


Principle 4: Protect harvests

In many of the poorest countries, 20-40% of crop yields are lost because of inadequate pre- and post-harvest support. Likewise, vast quantities of food are squandered during production and consumption phases.


Urea

There has been a worldwide shift from prilling of Urea to granulation because the more desirable products made in granulator. This shift has taken place to supply growing fertilizer demand for larger, harder and denser particles, in spite of traditionally higher costs associated with granulation.

Urea finishing Processes

Urea can be prilled, granulated, flaked and crystallized. Presently only prilling and granulation is considered important.


What is Ikisan.com?-

Ikisan is an agricultural portal, a one-stop information resource for the Indian farmer.

Ikisan provides online, detailed content on crops, crop management techniques, fertilisers & pesticides and a host of other agriculture related material.

Latest updates on related markets, products and weather forecasts are also available.

Ikisan enables farmers to network with other farmers, suppliers and consumers across the world.


Principle 3: Build local access

Fundamental resources should be available to farmers to help them manage their production process more reliably and at less cost.


While much of the knowledge needed to improve global agriculture already exists, including within remote indigenous, it often does not reach those farmers that could benefit the most.

• Increase the level of education on crop and natural resource management for farmers.

• Promote the development of village-based knowledge centres.


Land management should be improved through the widespread adoption of sustainable land use practices

• Conservation agriculture to prevent soil erosion and land degradation

• Manage watersheds and water use more efficiently

• Protect wildlife habitat and biodiversity through an integrated ecosystems approach

• Provide incentives for improving ecosystem services

Introduction

Nitrogen is a common element in nature. Approximately 78% of the earth's atmosphere consists of nitrogen gas (N2). As nitrogen naturally cycles through the air, soil and water, it undergoes various chemical and biological transformations. These reactions result in the formation of nitrogen-based compounds and molecules, which are essential for the growth of plants, animals and humans.


The Interagency Crosscutting Group on Climate Change and Human Health (CCHHG) is charged by the USGCRP with planning, coordinating, implementing, evaluating, and reporting on federal research and related scientific activities on the human health impacts of global environmental change. The CCHHG integrates relevant science and technology programs and capabilities through interagency, interdisciplinary, and intergovernmental collaborations spanning basic research to decision making to application.


How are the terms climate change, global warming, and global change different?  The term climate change is often used as if it means the same thing as the term global warming.


How serious is a warming of a few degrees?

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates it has warmed 1.2 to 1.4°F (0.7 to 0.8ºC) over the past century and projects a further 3 to 7°F (2 to 4ºC) over the 21st century. The increases may appear minor compared to short-term weather changes from night to day and winter to summer.


The UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD) will take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from 20-22 June 2012.

SAFETY ORIENTATION GUIDE FOR NEW EMPLOYEES

Introduction:

The purpose of this guide is to provide a framework for conducting safety orientations for new employees.  Accident statistics show that new employees are much more likely to sustain on-the-job injuries than more experienced workers.  Therefore, it is essential that new employees receive a detailed safety orientation in order to provide them with the knowledge and skills needed to perform their jobs safely and prevent accidents.


We are all very complex beings and are a product of what we think, feel, focus our attention on, take into our bodies and bring with us on a soul level.  In any discussion of healthy lifestyles, we should remember that our thoughts and feelings are often the primary directors in how we feel and choose to live our lives.  To have positive thoughts and harmonious feelings allows one to make lifestyle, exercise and dietary choices that energize the body and enliven the mind and spirit.


Why should we bother about our water footprint?

Freshwater is a scarce resource; its annual availability is limited and demand is growing. The water footprint of humanity has exceeded sustainable levels at several places and is unequally distributed among people. Good information about water footprints of communities and businesses will help to understand how we can achieve a more sustainable and equitable use of fresh water.


The water footprint is an indicator of water use that looks at both direct and indirect water use of a consumer or producer. The water footprint of an individual, community or business is defined as the total volume of freshwater that is used to produce the goods and services consumed by the individual or community or produced by the business.

The increasing consumption of water and overuse of aquatic systems has already resulted in a dramatic deterioration of aquatic ecosystems worldwide.


Climate change is one of the major challenges facing the global population

and the natural environment. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions released into the atmosphere in ever rapidly growing volumes are recognised to be responsible for this change.

Carbon Footprint analysis is the key

A Carbon Footprint measures the total greenhouse gas emissions caused directly and indirectly by a person, organisation, event or product.


A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) enables your organisation to analyse the

entire life cycle of your products or services with regard to their

environmental impacts and to display these anaylses in a transparent

way.


A life-cycle assessment (LCA, also known as life-cycle analysis, ecobalance, and cradle-to-grave analysis) is a technique to assess environmental impacts associated with all the stages of a product's life from-cradle-to-grave (i.e., from raw material extraction through materials processing, manufacture, distribution, use, repair and maintenance, and disposal or recycling).

Immediately after the Indonesian quake happened, there was widespread fears that such a huge underwater quake may trigger off massive tsunamis.

But no destructive tsunamis were observed and seismologists said it was because it was a slip-strike quake that did not lead to a vertical displacement of waves.

British geological seismologist Susanne Sargeant was quoted as saying: “We have had two blocks rubbing together, it's called a strike-slip earthquake ...

LETTER FROM ABRAHAM LINCOLN TO HIS SON’S TEACHER

“My son starts school today. It is all going to be strange and new to him for a while and I wish you would treat him gently. It is an adventure that might take him across continents. All adventures that probably include wars, tragedy and sorrow. To live this life will require faith, love and courage.

So dear Teacher, will you please take him by his hand and teach him things he will have to know, teaching him - but gently, if you can.

The concept of sustainable development dates back a long way, but it was at the UN Conference on the Human Environment (Stockholm, 1972) that the international community met for the first time to consider global environment and development needs together.

The Stockholm Declaration and Action Plan defined principles for the preservation and enhancement of the natural environment, and highlighted the need to support people in this process.


The world is facing a mounting crisis. In recent years we have experienced a combination of a global financial crisis, a food crisis, volatile oil prices, accelerating ecosystem degradation and an increasing number of climate-induced extreme weather events. These multiple and inter-related crises call into question the ability of a growing human population to live peacefully and sustainably on this planet, and demand the urgent attention governments and citizens around the world.

Do Not Pipette By Mouth - Ever

You say, "But it's only water." Even if it is, how clean do you think that glassware reallyis? Using disposable pipettes? I know lots of people who rinse them and put them back! Learn to use the pipette bulb or automated pipetter. Don't pipette by mouth at home either. Gasoline and kerosene should be obvious, but people get hospitalized or die every year, right? I know someone who used his mouth to start the suction on a waterbed to drain it.


Energy-Efficient Steam Systems

Introduction

Air, water and steam are three media commonly used to distribute heat to process loads.  However, steam has several advantages compared to hot air and hot water. These advantages include.

•          the heat carrying capacity of steam is much greater than air or water

•          steam provides its own locomotive force.

HAZARD & OPERABILITY STUDIES

INTRODUCTION

The technique of Hazard and Operability Studies, or in more common terms HAZOPS, has been used and developed over approximately four decades for 'identifying potential hazards and operability problems' caused by 'deviations from the design intent' of both new and existing process plants.  Before progressing further, it might be as well to clarify some aspects of these statements.

Closed systems usually contain a combination of different metals, which provide a high potential for galvanic corrosion. The potential for dissolved oxygen attach is generally quite low in closed systems because of small amount of makeup water the main oxygen source. However, in systems that require substantial makeup because of loss of water from leaks, oxygen is continually supplied and oxygen corrosion presents a serious problem.


1.1 INTRODUCTION

Irrigated agriculture is dependent on an adequate water supply of usable quality. Water quality concerns have often been neglected because good quality water supplies have been plentigul and readily available. This situation is now changing in many areas. Intensive use of nearly all good quality supplies means that new irrigation projects and old projects seeking new or supplemental supplies must rely on lower quality and less desirable sources.


In southern India, the climate is becoming unpredictable and drought more common. Indiscriminate pumping from shallow aquifers shared by many farmers has caused abnormal drops in water levels. When a well goes dry, a farmer loses his crop. Six thousand farmers have been trained in groundwater management by a project run by Indian NGOs and guided by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization. They have learned to monitor how much water is available underground at the start of the growing season.


2 March 2012, Rome - UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today said that producing enough food to feed the world's rapidly growing population will require the international community to ensure the sustainable use of the world's "most critical finite resource," water.


The natural resources base and ecosystems must be managed sustainably to meet people’s food requirements and other environmental, social and economic needs. Climate change, increased water scarcity and conflicts over access to resources all pose challenges to environmental sustainability and food security. In addition, hunger and poverty often compel the poor to over-exploit the resources on which their own livelihoods depend.


The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is working with its Members and the entire international community for achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.

These eight goals - each with specific targets and indicators - are based on the United Nations Millennium Declaration, signed by world leaders in September 2000.

PART I   - COOLING WATER SYSTEMS – AN OVERVIEW

Water with some exceptional thermal and physical properties happened to the most readily available medium, and is comparatively an economically viable coolant.

It is however reckoned that the quality of water, with regard to dissolved chemical constituents varies from source to source.

The primary cooling water sources could be any of the followings:

1.       Surface Water:  - Rivers, reservoirs, streams, lake or ponds.

2.


Environment – Manufacturing more Efficiently – Water Efficiency

Increase your profits by reducing your water

Water consumption can be a major operating cost for manufacturers and could be costing companies over 1% of business turnover. Yet by using some simple control measures and inexpensive devices, this can be reduced by as much as 50%. These savings go straight to your bottom line as well as conserving an increasingly scare global resource.


Introduction:

This guidance is designed to be used as tool for internal HSE audit against OHSAS 18001:2007 & ISO 14001:2004 to ass the level of compliance.

The results of this assessment will be used to show the organisation where it is relative to the two standards mentioned above & help it understand their position & then take an improvement &/or corrective action(s) accordingly.

riven largely by a growing population and rising incomes around the world, agricultural demand is expected to continue rising in order to ensure abundant quantities of high-quality food, feed, fibre, energy and even industrial products (like pharmaceutical ingredients or bioplastics).


Regardless of the quantity needed, each plant nutrient fulfills a specific role in plant growth and food production. Nutrients cannot be substituted for one another.

Nitrogen (N)

N is a constituent of the building blocks of almost all plant structures. It is an essential component of chlorophyll, enzymes, proteins, etc. Rather high amounts of nitrogen are required compared to other essential nutrients. It stimulates root growth and crop development as well as uptake of other nutrients.


More than a billion farmers and their families around the world are on the front line of climate change. Their lives and livelihoods are directly affected by its impact, and they are also vital to implementing many of the solutions we need to help delay and deflect it.

Members of the Farming First coalition believe that:

Agriculture generally, and farmers especially, are vital to mitigate and adapt to climate change.


5 stages of the Product Lifespan

The IFA Protect&Sustain programme divides the fertilizer product lifecyce into five key phases for the purpose of developing good management practices for each phase.

Though some aspects of the product lifecycle managment process may lie outside of the usual activity of an individual fertilizer, the IFA programme allows companies to review business processes to identify areas where product management could be improved.


The IFA SHE Principles

In 2007, IFA developed a set of guiding principles for Safety, Health and Environmental (SHE) management. These twelve principles embody the membership’s commitment to responsible and sustainable fertilizer production and use.

The 12 IFA SHE Principles

1. All members shall demonstrate leadership and management commitment with regards to safety, security, health and environmental issues in fertilizer production, distribution and sales.


Product stewardship might be described as the "next step" in Safety, Health and Environmental (SHE) management, a step that broadens SHE management beyond the factory gate to include wider issues such as security. In many respects, it is about putting into place responsible business management processes across a product's lifecycle.

In this day and age, we can no longer ignore the role that fertilizers play in modern agriculture.

Abstract

In this project, the heat exchange system for the reforming section of an ammonia plant was optimized. The system consists of a single shell and tube process/process exchanger followed by a secondary cooling water exchanger. The primary exchanger heats the main feed before it enters the primary reformer, from 231.1 °C to 600 °C. It is exchanged with the hot stream from the secondary reformer which is cooled from 995.8 °C to 741 °C.

The concept is not limited to self-help but includes formal and informal activities for developing others, in roles such as teacher, guide, counsellor, manager, coach, or mentor.


The Bhopal disaster (commonly referred to as Bhopal gas tragedy) was a gas leak incident in India, considered one of the world's worst industrial catastrophes. It occurred on the night of December 2–3, 1984 at the Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL) pesticide plant in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. A leak of methyl isocyanate gas and other chemicals from the plant resulted in the exposure of hundreds of thousands of people.

The size and number of marine dead zones—areas where the deep water is so low in dissolved oxygen that sea creatures can’t survive—have grown explosively in the past half-century. Red circles on this map show the location and size of many of our planet’s dead zones. Black dots show where dead zones have been observed, but their size is unknown.

It’s no coincidence that dead zones occur downriver of places where human population density is high (darkest brown).


When it originates from a lake called Fulhaar Jheel near Madho Tanda east of Pilibhit, the Gomti is a stream. Gradually, it starts growing. Around 100 km away from the point of its origin, this stream is joined by tributaries like Sukheta, Choha and Andhra Choha near Mohammadi Kheri, a tehsil of Lakhimpur Kheri. The stream now turns into a river. But, as it is said, civilisations germinate in the vicinity of a river and threaten its very existence. The Gomti's story is no different.

World Environment Day (WED) is a day that stimulates awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and public action. It is on 5 June. It was the day that United Nations Conference on the Human Environment began. The United Nations Conference on the Human Environment was from 5–16 June 1972. It was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972. The first World Environment Day was on 1973.


When we allow ourselves to understand the impact our actions have not only on ourselves but the planet we live on, we realize the necessity to take loving action. We each have the power to correct conditions within as well as to affect the world we live in.

There are so many ways to apply love in our everyday lives. Yet, if we do not take care of ourselves, it is virtually impossible to feel and share love with the world around us.

Safety

Safety is the state of being "safe" (from French sauf), the condition of being protected against physical, social, spiritual, financial, political, emotional, occupational, psychological, educational or other types or consequences of failure, damage, error, accidents, harm or any other event which could be considered non-desirable. This can take the form of being protected from the event or from exposure to something that causes health or economical losses.


Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) : Equipment provided to shield or isolate a person from the chemical, physical, and thermal hazards that may be encountered at a hazardous materials incident. Adequate personal protective equipment should protect the respiratory system, skin, eyes, face, hands, feet, head, body, and hearing. Personal protective equipment includes: personal protective clothing, self-contained positive pressure breathing apparatus, and air purifying respirators.

Burning of fossil fuels is a major source of industrial greenhouse gas emissions, especially for power, cement, steel, textile, and fertilizer industries. The major greenhouse gases emitted by these industries are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), etc, which all increase the atmosphere's ability to trap infrared energy and thus affect the climate.


ROLE OF EHSQ

Effective implementation of Quality Management systems including non-conformance, corrective action, and preventive action management processes. Establishment of an effective risk based audit programs. Perform quality audits that address ISO 9001 requirements including covering technical requirements of the engineering, procurement and construction aspects of project delivery.


The importance of oxygen in life

Oxygen ( /ˈɒksɨdʒɨn/ ok-si-jin) is the element with atomic number 8 and represented by the symbol O. Its name derives from the Greek roots ὀξύς (oxys) ("acid", literally "sharp", referring to the sour taste of acids) and -γενής (-genēs) ("producer", literally "begetter"), because at the time of naming, it was mistakenly thought that all acids required oxygen in their composition.


Carrier Gases

. The GC determines the current column temperature and adjusts the column head pressure so that the desired average linear velocity is obtained.

Hydrogen offers many advantages for GC/MS. It will decrease the analysis time due to the higher linear velocities required to obtain optimum column performance. It will aslo keep your source cleaner and hence you will go for longer periods without having to vent and clean the source.


The lower and upper explosion concentration limits for some common gases are indicated in the table below. Some of the gases are commonly used as fuel in combustion processes.

Note! The limits indicated are for gas and air at 20oC and atmospheric pressure.


Chemicals have become a part of our life for sustaining many of our day-to-day activities, preventing and controlling diseases, and increasing agricultural productivity etc. An estimation of one thousand new chemicals enter the market every year, and about 100000 chemical substances are used on a global scale. These chemicals are mostly found as mixtures in commercial products. Over one million such products or trade names are available.

Conductivity Meter

Calibration is akin to tuning, and just as a musical instrument must be tuned from time-to-time, a scientific instrument must be properly calibrated to achieve accurate test results.

Electrical conductivity or specific conductance is the reciprocal quantity, and measures a material's ability to conduct an electric current. It is commonly represented by the Greek letter σ (sigma), but κ (esp. in electrical engineering) or γ are also occasionally used.


GAS TURBINE AND ENVIRONMENT

Natural gas is a clean fuel as compared to coal and can be efficiently used in power generation. As the domestic coal supply is generally of low quality with low calorific values, high degree of ash content and its adverse impacts to the environment, Government of India encourage gas based power generation in India. The use of gas in power-generation was initially promoted by the Government primarily with a view towards environmental considerations.
