League City may act on West Side sewer plant
Daily News – Galveston County
In a big leap toward building a new sewer plant on the city’s west side city council members today will consider spending $585590 for the second phase of an engineering study for the proposed plant on McFarland Road off FM 517. The city plans to use money collected from recent increases in sewer rates 9 percent over two years to back revenue bonds that would fund the construction of the Southwest Water Reclamation Facility. The plant is estimated to cost $23 million said Larry Herbert public works director. The city could float the revenue bonds during the summer.
NamPower plans 10-MW diesel-powered plant in Walvis Bay
Creamer Media's Engineering News
The company has issued a tender for a turnkey engineering procurement and construction contractor for its proposed Anixas diesel-generator power station. The contract would involve: the design and engineering environmental management planning procurement manufacturing factory testing supply and delivery installation training commissioning and site acceptance testing of a diesel generator power station NamPower stated in a tender document. NamPower had identified a 20 000-m2 site for the project including space for a further possible 40-MW expansion in capacity in future. The generating units would have to have multiple fuel capabilities including diesel heavy fuel oil and vegetable fuels without compromising the efficiency or maintenance regime of the plant NamPower stated. The contractors would be expected to complete the project within 12 months after the tender was awarded. NamPower would hold a compulsory clarification meeting at the Paratus power station on April 6 at 11:00 to discuss the tender and contract with potential contractors.

which is an independent power producer (IPP). The value of the contract is approximately EUR 137 million. The total gross electrical power output of the power plant is 200 MWe and the plant will be located near Faisalabad some 200 km west from Lahore. The power plant is due to be commissioned in December 2010 and it will supply electricity to the country’s national grid. This order follows three other IPP projects signed by WAnrtsilAn in 2007 and 2008. Including these last four orders the total generating capacity delivered by WAnrtsilAn to Pakistan will exceed 1700 MWe. The Liberty Power Tech combined cycle solution is an EPC (engineering procurement and construction) order and it will comprise eleven WAnrtsilAn 18V46 generating sets.

An eco-fungicide to save your broccoli and greens
Green Right Now
The fungus becomes resistant to the pesticide and creeps back ever-more resilient. Which requires more chemical treatments; which can increase resistance; requiring more treatments…To try to break this cycle researchers in Canada have been developing new “green” fungicides that are less environmentally damaging because they go in for a targeted kill. This surgical approach plays off the plant’s own defense strategy by attacking the fungal infection as it ramps up to break through the plants defenses. Effectively the new eco-fungicides called “paldoxins” disrupt the fungus’ response to the plant. It works like this: The plant reacts to the encroachment of the fungus and puts up a barrier of defenses; the fungus reacts by hitting those defenses with its own chemical reaction. The paldoxins or anti-fungal agents intervene rendering the fungus unable to hit back at the plant. Instead of dropping a bomb – the old way — which can damage the plant and the beneficial organisms that assist its growth they go in for a guerilla attack selectively disrupting the fungus’ ability to fight through a plant’s defense mechanisms.
