[Bioconversion] Data file refs for arc reforming research clues

[Peter Singfield]

This but the tip of that iceberg -- the "meat" though all the same.

It would be great to get some more professional input -- as this all sounds
so much like another perpetual motion machine to me.

As Leonard put it:

"1.5 more energy comes out than went in"

He is referring to my com previous to that one -- where I pointed out more
BTU's of energy were showing up in the data (by ration of 1.5) than was in
the waste material being fed in -- after negating the power added by the Arc!

which is -- by the way --

"the figures are 9,000,000 BTU from 120 Amps 3 phase 440 and 6 yards per hr
of medical waste. plastic blood containers tubes etc.human body parts
rubber gloves sharps, bandages paper, gauze"

Leonard worked at that time for the State of Florida and was an "emissions"
inspector -- that is how he became involved.

Leonard is a fully qualified engineer --

He would be about 65 or so years of age now -- 

He was having a problem with skin cancer ---

And as mentioned -- Noah triggered my interest -- which led to some
research updating -- and surprise surprise -- many others are "claiming" to
see those same anomalies. And some are not scam artists --

As example:

A "National Laboratory-University-Industrial" three-way partnership has
been established between the Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL),
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and Electro-Pyrolysis, Inc.
(EPI) to develop graphite electrode DC arc technology for the treatment of
buried wastes.

This paper outlines the PNL-MIT-EPI program describing a series of
engineering-scale DC arc furnace tests conducted in an EPI furnace at the
Plasma Fusion Center at MIT, and a description of the second phase of this
program involving the design, fabrication, and testing of a pilot-scale DC
arc furnace.

Included in this work is the development and implementation of diagnostics
to evaluate and optimize high temperature thermal processes such as the DC
arc technology.

And last Daniel -- no -- it is not all laid out clear to see in one specifc
"paper" peer reviewed -- or if it is -- I have not found it yet!!

Sometimes a pserons has to research first to stay on top of developing
technologies -- rather than sit back and wait for the completed package to
be places on their laps.

and yes -- it is not in the nature of most people to do "research" -- it is
a rather are quality actually --

Maybe your one with it?? I certainly do not know that -- yet.

But Daniel -- I am a well proven "researcher" all my life and in more areas
than you can shake a stick at -- and nobody can take this away from me.

Make your decision -- hate research or love research??

It most definitly is not everyones cup of tea!

Now -- nuts and bolts

Apparently is is no longer functional -- so I uploaded my copy to both Jeff
and Kurt -- maybe one of those can relay it to you??

After all -- it is produced by "DOE"

Hardly "scammers" in my book. It shows how one can do this -- but tells
little of results in gas/energy production.

But they mention that is part of their goals -- so now -- to research and
find the papers that followed this one -- eh??

Grind -- it is called grinding!!

Totally opposite from bulshitting!

Oops -- more nuts and bolts -- more pdf's

These specific to reforming wastes using plasma arc -- from another of my
folders.

OK -- in this pdf:

You will fine:

1.1.4  Plasma Arc Gasification 
 
1.1.4.1 Process Description

Plasma gasification has been used for years to treat waste products and
incinerator ash, converting them to a non-hazardous, glassy slag. While
application to MSW is in its infancy, it has great potential to convert MSW
to electricity more  efficiently than conventional pyrolysis and
gasification systems, due to  its high heat flux, high temperature, almost
complete conversion of carbon-based materials  to syngas, and conversion of
inorganic materials to a glassy, non-hazardous slag. 

Very informative -- refers to Japans prototype that processes 83 tons of
garbage per day to vmake electric power using Carbon arc reforming. 

Scam?? Well -- that paper is prepared by:

URS CORPORATION, PROJECT CONSULTANT 

for the County of LA ---

Look guys -- hours of my time already invested -- I don;t like being shit
on for doing it -- so be "easy" -- if we find real reason to demyth this
all -- fine -- 

If not -- I am ready to build a small prototype --

Let's keep this real simple --

OOps -- just found another folder -- very good refs --

Start with this one:

(Now -- this could be commerical hype -- a spam!! -- but still -- good base
to research more from!!)

Startech Environmental and Future Fuels Form a Strategic Alliance for the
Production of Ethanol Fuel from Tires
First-of-its-kind Project to be the $84 Million Future Fuel
Tires-to-Ethanol Facility in Toms River, New Jersey

WILTON, Conn., March 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Startech Environmental
Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: STHK), a fully reporting company,
announced today that Startech and Future Fuels, Inc., (FFI) a subsidiary of
Nuclear Solutions, Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: NSOL) of Washington, D.C.,
have formed a Strategic Alliance Agreement to mutually obtain contracts for
waste-to-ethanol facilities and also for FFI's own $84 million
Waste-to-Ethanol Facility to be constructed in Toms River, New Jersey.

The Company has also received the Letter Of Intent from FFI for FFI's
purchase of a 100 ton-per-day Startech Plasma Converter System (PCS) for
installation in the first-of-its-kind Waste-to-Ethanol Facility in Toms
River, scheduled to go on-line in late 2007. The PCS will safely and
completely destroy the tires in its process that results in a clean
synthesis gas product called Plasma Converted Gas (PCG)™. The Plasma
Converter will be attached to the front of the FFI system. PCG produced
will be piped directly into the FFI system to make commercial fuel-grade
ethanol for sale. Plans also call for the Toms River Facility expansion to
include a series of additional Startech 100 ton-per-day modular Plasma
Converter Systems. 

President of FFI, Jack Young, said, "We welcome partnering with Startech to
fuse their expertise and commercial experience in plasma processing
technology with FFI's unique business model to convert abundant waste
feedstocks into ethanol. Where Startech provides front-end technology to
transform a variety of waste products into syngas, FFI provides the
back-end catalytic process to convert that syngas into useful products such
as ethanol, higher alcohol fuels and synthetic fuels, like diesel, gasoline
and kerosene (jet fuel). The Strategic Alliance between FFI and Startech
will open more doors into the U.S. ethanol market for both companies as
well as to customers in Europe, Asia and South America where Startech
currently has initiatives underway," states FFI President Jack Young. 

Joseph F. Longo, Startech president said, "The Startech-FFI teaming is a
perfect fit that will help increase Startech's market penetration and sales
at home and overseas. As a result of the FFI press release on March 13,
2006 announcing the Alliance, we have already received lively interest from
our Sales Representatives, Distributors and potential customers in the
U.S., Central America, Australia, Asia and the European Union.

"We are especially pleased to know that we will be a significant part of
the new $84 million FFI Toms River Ethanol Facility.

"Ethanol is an important renewable fuel, derived from ubiquitous feedstock
materials previously regarded as wastes. When added to gasoline, it will
help America move further towards energy independence and actually reduce
greenhouse gas emissions.

"Startech processing customers are paid for receiving waste feed stocks at
the front-end of the System and paid for producing and selling the
resulting commercial products at the back-end. To the many commodity
products that can be made from PCG, we have now added FFI fuel-grade
ethanol fuel. Fuel-grade ethanol is about 199 Proof. Two hundred proof is
100% ethanol. Industrial ethanol, for paint thinners, solvents and so
forth, is typically about 160 Proof.

"An important fact sometimes overlooked is that waste is an inexhaustible,
renewable, ever-recurring resource."
