Process & Control Today – Aug 2, 2007
Nick Prest Chairman AVEVA Group plc along with Mr. Peter Finch President AVEVA Asia Pacific. The PCE will be manned by a dedicated team of engineers. ne of their first projects is through cooperative partnership with the Integrated Power Engineering Consortium of China’s Power User Cooperation Group (IPEC of PUCG) to jointly establish an Integrated Power Engineering System suitable for China Power Industry thereby enabling the next generation of improvements both in productivity and quality assurance.
Alstom to Build Cogeneration Plant for Aluminium Plant in Dubai
Azom.com – Aug 2, 2007
The cogeneration plant will supply electricity for aluminium production steam to boost electricity output at three other existing Alstom-built power plants located at the same site namely Kestrel Condor 1 and Condor 2 power plants. It will also supply steam to boost water production at DUBAL’s existing seawater desalination plant. The project is a tailor-made industrial application which highlights Alstom’s ability to provide integrated plant engineering services. The new contract reinforces Alstom’s partnership with DUBAL following Alstom’s successful construction of the “CCPP 22” 430 MW gas-fired combined-cycle power plant also based on GT13E2 gas turbines in 2006 and previous contracts for the construction of Kestrel and Condor 1 & 2 power plants. Philippe Joubert Executive Vice-President and President Power Systems Sector said: “DUBAL has renewed its confidence in Alstom after the successful completion of a first 430 MW power plant. This environmentally-friendly and fuel saving cogeneration project is an additional significant contribution to Dubal’s power supply for aluminium production. ” Posted August 2nd 2007.

The contract has been awarded for basic design engineering package for a new production facility with a nameplate propylene capacity of 200000 tpa using Superflex technology to be added to an existing industrial site in Jilin City. The unit will be owned and operated by JiHua a wholly owned subsidiary of CNPC. China Petroleum Engineering Company Northeast Branch Company will perform the detailed engineering. Superflex technology is a fluidized catalytic cracking process which converts low-value refinery and ethylene plant streams with a high degree of selectivity to propylene ethylene and high octane gasoline. It is exclusively licensed worldwide by KBR and is based on Lyondell Chemical Company’s developments and patents… The unit will be owned and operated by JiHua a wholly owned subsidiary of CNPC.

Lluvia de ro Project Sonora MexicoConstruction of BioteQ’s Lluvia de ro plant in cooperation with Columbia Metals Corporation Limited has been initiated at Columbia’s gold mine site in the State of Sonora Mexico. The plant has been designed to recover copper from cyanide solutions using BioteQ’s ChemSulphide® Process as well as recycle cyanide for use in gold extraction using the SART process originally developed by SGS Lakefield in cooperation with Teck Corporation (1998) and used by permission. Detailed engineering design and equipment procurement are in progress and site preparation has been initiated. The company expects construction completion during the first quarter of 2008 to coincide with initial gold production in late 2007. The total capital cost for BioteQ’s plant is expected to be $C 4. Site construction and local fabrication is being managed by Dennerik Engineering and Fabrication using local construction contractors… Wellington ro Project Breckenridge ColoradoThe Company is supplying a treatment plant for zinc and cadmium recovery under agreement with the Town of Breckenridge and the Board of County Commissioners of Summit County Colorado for the construction and commissioning of the Wellington ro water treatment plant. The Wellington ro project will use BioteQ’s ChemSulphide® process similar to that previously incorporated in the Blackwell project for Phelps Dodge. BioteQ has provided engineering and procurement of the process plant equipment on a fee for service basis. The overall project is managed by Stantec Engineering. BioteQ will manage the plant commissioning and operator training also on a fee for service basis. It is expected that plant construction will be completed during the second quarter of next year and be fully operational in the third quarter of 2008. Development ProjectsBioteQ continues to work on developing projects for Molymet (two plants copper recovery and sulphate removal) Columbia Metals (La Jojoba also copper and cyanide recovery) and CVRD-INC (nickel recovery).

Hours after discovering it Sophos gave the malware a low-to-medium prevalence rating. “These e-mails are masquerading as pornographic content tempting the unwary into opening a file on their Windows computer which will install a rootkit and download further malicious code from the internet” said Graham Cluley senior technology consultant for Sophos in a written statement. “This kind of social engineering trick is nothing new. In fact it has been used so often by cybercriminals that it sometimes feels like it’s been around since the days of the silent movies. However that hasn’t stopped it from being an effective way to fool many people into running code designed to allow hackers to break into computers. ” Sophos researchers reported spotting the spam attack Thursday. The body of the e-mail message is generally similar to this one: “Good day dear.
