Dear Mr. Goh MS, Seawater's not the best thing to flush through plastic pipes - tends to degrade the pipes via chloride attack, its usually the water of last resort to do anything. Raw reservoir water, on the other hand, as long as a bit of filtering has been done to remove most of the...

Found something interesting, seems that PUB is generally of the same mind as of 2004 as with my thoughts: http://www.adbi.org/conf-seminar-papers/2004/10/05/621.waste.water.management.singapore/ Waste Water Management in Singapore This presentation was made by Dr. Ramasamy Meiyappan...

There's always EDCs present, even in the most pristine of waters which has some level of biological activity (ie, water that supports life). And because of the 2nd law of thermodynamics, 100% removal is impossible, though you certainly get get it down to >99% removal with activated carbon media...

Answer's staring at you right in your face. >>The new flu strain can be treated by antivirals such as Roche Holding's Tamiflu or GlaxoSmithKline's Relenza.

The principal reason is aging aero-fleet coupled with high operational costs, which led to cut-backs on fleet maintenance.

I had a fairly in-depth discussion on this with one of the members of my dissertation committee previously and this is why we concluded: Centralized water treatment isn't cost-effective, and decentralized treatment is the way to go. Why treat massive quantities of water to levels which is...

Check to see if there's anymore peeps here into this...that previous thread on solar stirred up quite a few folks.

Wondering if anyone else here is into those stuff.

*bump up to get more interest.

Well, China is snapping up all the resources it can get in Africa and S.America. That should say something. Russia is flexing its resource muscles more and more these days. The problem is not power generation, we barely tapped 5% of the earth's potential with regards to power, but looking for...

Did read before somewhere that the natural rate of homo sapien cuckoldry is around 15-16%, which is around the mean of 4-30% rate reported. So yes, basically 1 in 8 husbands are raising someone else's kids. Cheers, Trout

They say Ghawar (Saudi) and Burgan (Kuwait), the two largest oil fields in the world, have already peaked in total production, which is why all the Arabs are plonking all the $$ they made into these projects. The Cantarell (Mexico) complex has definitely peaked in 2007, and is facing annual...

10 cents, a dime, what's the difference? Operating principles are the same to the conventional Rakine. Thermal cycle engines or heat extractors been around for 100+ to 200 yrs, no significant innovation since Watt's time. What I'm more interested in are osmotic engines. :-) Cheers, Trout

Actually we don't need much PR, just need to know the right people who make decisions. We need sugardaddies, strangely enough, even the NASA people I spoke with in May are looking for sugardaddies worldwide. The USA really bankrupt this time sia... You know any Arabs or not? Seems like the...

Couple of more videos, more in line with the scam type, hahaha, from Statkraft. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hgbtVR2Qrco&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess"...

You wanna pony up some dough to start a demo project? hahaha I know Dr. Adrian Yeo, Ph.D, who won the Don Quixote Prize this year at the SIWW, is doing a membrane distillation project with Singapore Poly using salinity gradient principles as a power source to drive the distillation process. If...

Probably butane or pentane, depending on what is the evaporator pressure you run it at. Butane, its isomers and halo-derivatives boils at 0.5 C or lower at 1 atm, pentane, its isomers and halo-derivatives boils at 36 C or lower at 1 atm. And yes, the halo-derivatives are what is commonly known...

There's already like 2 million different fluids out in the market that drives Rankine cycles...

Haha, oh yes, Jonny Trent from NASA AMES said during our meeting in May at Moffett that the Icelanders approached him for that algae bag project soon after the Hwa Chong matriarch expressed their interest in bringing it to Singapore. But in the end, they stayed at Sunnyvale WWTP. Home is best...

For solar ponds (remember the theoretical conversion efficiency is only 17% max): Depends on how hot the bottom draw gets, and depends on how cool the top draw stays.... In practice, salt-gradient solar ponds consist of three layers, or zones: a surface convecting zone of low-salinity water...
