Materials from Interviews with Dry Cooling System Operators • Approx. 2/3 of condensate returned; discarded if it contains detectable TOC; otherwise, polished and reused • Electric to PG&E • Gas/steam turbines on single shaft. • Can augment HRSG with 20 Mw duct burner • Steam augmentation to gas turbines of ~20 Mw. Air-cooled condenser: (See attached sketch and spec. sheet end of section) Balcke-Duerr, 405 N. Reo Street, Suite 300, Tampa, FL 33609, 813-289-1516 (main). Contact: Ralph Wyndrum, 813-342-4916 (direct), 813-342-7916 (fax). ACC Model No.: 120-9310-8810-2---4-TR Dry cooling was chosen for two primary reasons: 1. space considerations (plant on 2 1⁄2 acre site) 2. regulatory schedule (estimated 5 years to get permit to use Bay water) A general description of the system includes: • 15 cells; 12 for steam condesaton/3 for plant water cooling (lube oil/bearings/etc) • Cells in three parallel banks of 5 cells (4 for condenser) each. One cell in each bank in reflux configuration for non-condensable removal. (See sketch 1.) • All heat exchanger, fan and other descriptive information in attached spec. sheet. Operating issues include: • Unit runs well • No problems with wind effects on performance • Freeze protection has not been a problem but the cold weather operating controls sometimes act strangely; i.e., fans will turn off and operators don’t know why. Apparent conflict between Balcke-Duerr operating system and the plant Foxboro I&C package---not a serious problem. • No air in-leakage problems; vacuum systems/de-aerators work well. • Water chemistry not difficult to control (HRSG at pH = 9 with amine treatment). • High make-up rates because of condensate not being returned by C&H or having to be discarded. • Results in complete turnover of cycle water every 2 or 3 days.

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
