SHEC Labs plans Renewable Solar Hydrogen Pilot Plant
(ContentDesk) June 1, 2005 -- SHEC-Lab's prototype solar hydrogen generator has now operated for approximately 1,200 hours with no noticeable coking or degradation of the catalysts. Hydrogen production is near the theoretical maximum at approximately 66% in the product gas stream with a 98.2% mol conversion of the feed methane. The estimated maximum hydrogen production with the unit is approximately 3,500 kg per year with minor modifications to the operating pressure and reactor configuration and an increase in the solar mirror area.The next stage of development is anticipated to be a commercial-scale demonstration at a landfill gas site using 40,000 kg per year hydrogen production modules. This one project (a small-to-medium sized landfill gas project) will prevent more than 1.6 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) from entering the atmosphere over the next twenty years and will significantly improve local air quality and reduce smog.
This one plant would consist of 30 modules for a total annual production of 1.2 million kg of hydrogen per year.
(550 million cubic feet).SHEC-Labs is currently in the process of capitalizing to deploy its first commercial scale plant.
Once this plant is operational, we will be able to copy it a hundred or a thousand times or more.The next generation of solar hydrogen involves direct water splitting with only water as the primary feed component. According to SHEC scientists, six of the ten steps needed for this process are already integrated into the current system.About hydrogen production.More than 95% of hydrogen produced today is by the Steam Methane Reformation (SMR) of fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and natural gas, a process that liberates massive amounts of carbon dioxide and other pollutants to the atmosphere. The SMR process provides a net energy loss of 30 to 35% when converting methane into hydrogen since a great deal of fossil energy or electrical power is required to operate the process. Hydrogen is also produced by electrolysis, a process that uses electricity to convert water into hydrogen and oxygen.
Although electrolysis itself can be quite efficient in converting electricity into hydrogen, the electricity used for electrolysis is often primarily generated from fossil fuels. Therefore, traditional hydrogen production methods result in a net increase in air pollution and are highly inefficient from an energy conversion perspective.Solar hydrogen production provides a net energy gain when converting methane into hydrogen since the energy used to drive the process is from the sun. Since SMR is not typically cost-effective at small to moderate production levels, SHEC's technology is particularly attractive for smaller and distributed hydrogen production. The environmental benefits of generating hydrogen using renewable energy include significant greenhouse gas reductions, and the reduction of smog precursors, acid gases, and mercury as a result of reduced local need for oil, coal, and natural gas.To add even greater value, the process has the ability to use a renewable source of methane and carbon dioxide, such as biogas from municipal wastewater plants and landfill gas. Renewable methane generated from biomass results in no net increase of carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere when the methane is converted into hydrogen by SHEC's solar hydrogen generator.Why produce hydrogen?The current market for hydrogen is approximately 42 billion kg per year and growing, and is used primarily in ammonia fertilizer manufacturing, for hydrogenation in the food and beverage industry, and in petroleum refining to reduce the sulfur content of fossil fuels.Hydrogen is also an energy carrier and is recognized by many as the fuel of the future.
When hydrogen is consumed by a fuel cell, its only significant emissions are water and heat. A clean source of hydrogen will lead to energy self-sufficiency and clean air and clean water.The U.S. will increase natural gas imports 700% during the next 20 years and will HAVE to import more than 25% of its gasoline by 2025.SHEC foresees it hydrogen production technologies as a way to fill some of this demand.About SHEC-Labs ?

Removing Unwanted body hair Permanently & Safely?
Both males and females have unwanted hairs in their body. Everybody wishes to be fresh and energetic. It can be done in a many number of ways according the level of hairs in the body. It is found that around 80% of the women and around 50% of the men are going for hair removal in some form or the other. Facial hair removal is more popular among men and women.
Hair removal in the hands, legs, arms, underarms, bikini area, face, and eyebrows are commonly practiced these days. Sports persons go for hair removal since it will cut down the wind resistance and improve their competitive speeds. There is a report saying that hair removal salons are getting more and more men customers for removing hair. Different devices are used for hair removal in different parts of the body. Waxing, sugaring, and electrolysis are the most preferred methods for permanent body hair removal.
Laser treatments are also used for permanent body hair removal. Waxing is a method of hair removal in which...

"The Best Laser Hair Removal System...Ever!" Available Throughout Orange County in Aliso Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita and San Clemente.
Throughout history man has tried many different ways of removing unwanted body hair.
From ancient Egyptian depilatory creams to abrading stones to painful electrolysis, man has tried many different mechanisms to remove body hair. With the new Sonata diode laser, hair removal is fast and virtually painless.
The Sonata laser is a diode laser generating a 810nm laser beam.
This wavelength has been proven to be the most effective in targeting hair for removal in most skin types.
Diode lasers offer the optimal depth of energy absorption while targeting the melanin within each hair to effectively disable follicles and prevent future hair growth.
Unlike other diode lasers, the Sonata can deliver pulse rates of up to 3 pulses per second.
This means that your treatment can be done in 1/3 the time of other lasers.
An entire back or full legs treated in less than 45 minutes.
Not only is the Sonata faster but due to continuous...

OEM and Aftermarket Parts: Parts Train's Best Quality Radiator Support
Parts Train's radiator support restores the original look and contour of your car's radiator. Rusted, dented or cracked parts are primer painted and bolt on easily with original mounting hardware. It has die-formed steel with all correct bodylines, light holes, cutouts, mounting holes, etc. If you have repeated heater core or aluminum radiator failures, consider one possible source to be coolant breakdown and electrolysis due to combustion gases from head gasket leaks. The two most common causes are a poor ground to the radiator's electric cooling fan, or a poor ground from the starter motor and engine block to the battery.
Any vehicle with accessories bolted to the radiator support or to a nearby component can be affected by electrolysis. Electrolysis is a fast-acting menace that attacks not only radiators and heaters, but can destroy an entire engine in a mere 20,000 miles.A poorly grounded engine and starter motor can zap enough current through the cooling system to blast apart...

Laser Hair Removal For Men
It is interesting to note that almost 50 percent of laser hair removal clients are men. Men see lasers as being the perfect alternative to shaving or waxing when it comes to removing unwanted hair from the back, chest and legs. Other hair removal methods can be quite costly, time consuming and painful. Laser hair removal removes large amounts of hair with one laser "pulse" and with relatively little pain.
Laser hair removal can permanently take off unwanted back hair.
A "pulse" or shot of laser light takes care of the hair in the growth or "anagen" stage in less than a second. One laser pulse can treat an area the size of a coin. The complete removal of back hair could take about an hour. With a session every six weeks, after eight or so sittings, permanent hair removal from the back area can be achieved. A laser hair removal session could cost around $750.
Prices differ broadly because of the varying amounts of hair in different clients. A client has to pay...

Potty Training - To Train or not to Train?
I have always found the notion of toilet training a toddler to be a bit much. I didn't feel right about pushing my girls to do something I felt would eventually come naturally. At three years old, both my girls were potty trained ... not because I read books and raced them to the porcelain each time I suspected they should go. They knew what the potty was for.
They knew when they had to go. They'd figure it out on their own! Well, by golly, they did! Sure, we went a little stupid each time...
