South Korea’s Hyundai Engineering gets order for Kuwait power…
International Herald Tribune – Jun 27, 2007
which Tuesday announced winning a US$1. 3 billion (€970 million) project to build a 750-megawatt power generation plant and a water desalination facility for Kuwait's Ministry of Energy Electricity and Water. Mitsui said Tuesday it will order the desalination plant from Italian engineering company Fisia Italimpianti Group. Shares of Hyundai Engineering fell 1. 3 percent to 66200 won Wednesday in Seoul.
Utilities pay lip service to emission reduction
The Australian – Jun 27, 2007
"We thought the technology was innovative" says Gabriel uellet who was in charge of Boralex’s plant test and verified the results. AES Deepwater had been engineering a retrofit to reduce its nitrogen oxide emissions when it did the final WowClean test so buying the technology now would be superfluous as it is not required to remove carbon dioxide or mercury at this point. "We do not need it" says Albert Lau plant engineer at its Deepwater plant in Pasadena Texas. "At this point we just want nitrogen under control. " Brau says another problem is a general impression that capturing carbon dioxide is difficult requires huge amounts of energy is expensive and leaves waste that’s difficult to dispose of. This explains why British magnate Sir Richard Branson is trying to motivate companies to act by offering a $US25 million award to anyone who can take existing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere. Branson’s prize is not for technologies that remove gases at the point of energy production as Wow’s technology does so Wow is testing its unit for ambient removal.
xygen Generators Fueled NC Plant Fire

The oxygen generators were then misidentified as general oxidizer waste and sent to Apex the board said. At least 78 oxygen generators were found among the rubble of the ct. 5 fire that destroyed the EQ Industrial Services plant said Robert Hall the board’s lead investigator into the fire at EQ Industrial Services in Apex. “Apparently this aircraft maintenance facility had forgotten the lessons of ValuJet about expending these things” Hall said. “We’re concerned that there might be somebody else out there that’s not following the procedure. We have no knowledge of anybody out there but we want to make sure this message is reiterated for the industry. In addition to the safety advisory the chemical board issued a rare “imminent hazard” advisory to Mobile Aerospace Engineering… we want to get the word out on that and make sure they are accounted for and expended before they’re put into the hazmat waste stream” board member William B. A message seeking comment from Mobile Aerospace Engineering was not immediately returned Wednesday. (This version CRRECTS SUBS 14th graf to correct typo in `expended.
