Abstract:
Our aim was to obtain a statistical profile of survivors and deaths among burn victims and to develop predictive models for mortality and length of hospital stay. All patients admitted to the Burns Unit of Alexandria Main University Hospital over a 1-year period were included. Of 533 cases, mean length of hospital stay was 15.5 +/- 21.6 days and the mortality rate was 33%. Total surface area burnt, inhalation burns, age, sex, depth and degree of burn wounds were the significant independent predictors of mortality in multiple logistic regression analysis. The significant independent predictors of the length of hospital stay were clothing ignition, total surface area burnt, sex, degree and depth of burn and inhalation burns.

Abstract:
Background: Unusual burns are not uncommon. They occur in the industrial as well as the domestic side. These are mainly burns due to chemicals, tar, fire walk and lightning burns. These burns occur as a result of improper handling of chemicals with poor safety measures or due to accidents. Here, we discuss about these burns, their epidemiology with treatment and preventive measures.Methods: The study was conducted at a tertiary care burn centre for a period of two years from Jan 2009 to Jan 2011. Forty-four patients with unusual burns were admitted and evaluated with a thorough history and clinical examination. Initial resuscitation was done followed by specific therapy in each of the cases.Results: The forty-four patients with unusual burns were categorized into chemical burns, lightning burns, tar burn, camphor burns, fire walk burns and miscellaneous types. These burns mostly involved adult males and were generally due to domestic reasons. 93% were due to accidents of which most of them were of the miscellaneous type (83%).Conclusions: Unusual burns are an important to know as these are occurring with regular frequency in the present days. These burns are usually accidental occurring in industries and in household setups. Proper education and safety measures could reduce the incidence of these unusual burns.

Abstract:
All burn cases admitted to the burns unit of Alexandria Main University Hospital over a period of one year were investigated. Burns were found to occur in younger age groups. There was an almost equal distribution of cases by sex, but when stratified by age, more females were found in most age groups. Most burns were domestic, with cooking being the most prevalent activity. Flame was the most common agent. Death occurred in about one-third of cases;when using logistic regression analysis, the outcome of the burn injury was significantly associated with age, sex, total surface area burnt and degree and depth of the burn

Abstract:
Rural to urban migration to major cities in South Africa continues to lead to the proliferation of informal settlements. There is little recent published data on the epidemiology of adult burns in the Western Cape, South Africa. The prediction of outcome in severe burns is important to aid in clinical decision making, improve scarce resource allocation and allow comparisons between different burn units. Age, burn size and the presence of inhalational injury have been determined to be the most important factors in predicting mortality. There is little published data on the outcome of severe burns in the Southern African region. A retrospective review of patients on the Burn Unit database was undertaken, looking at patients admitted to the Burn Unit between January 2003 and December 2008. This study discusses the characteristics and outcome of patients who were treated at the Tygerberg Burn unit. A total of 1908 patients were admitted to the burn unit during the 6 year period under review. Most fatal injuries occurred in the 20 to 40 year age group. Injuries due to shack fires and fuel stoves comprised 21% (399) of all admissions. Mortality due to these injuries comprised 28% (137) of total mortality. Gas stoves accounted for 24% with kerosene stoves accounting for 71% of injuries. The burn death rate in this study (25%) was found to have increased dramatically from the last audit done from 1986 to 1995 in which a burn death rate of 7.5% was observed. Reasons for this are explored. A stepwise logistic regression analysis was done on the derivation cohort where age, gender, TBSA% and presence of inhalational injury were identified as significant for predicting death. A mortality prediction model is presented which was internally validated on the validation cohort. An easy to use EXCEL calculator was created to estimate the probability of death. Shack fires and injuries due to fuel stoves are a common reason for admission to the burn unit and mostly involve young male individuals. Other research from the Southern African region does not mention shack fires as a separate entity making it difficult to obtain an accurate idea of the scale of the problem. Their injuries are severe with a high mortality. The use of kerosene stoves are a major contributing factor. Recommendations include enforceable legislation to promote safer stove design, research into safer bio fuels and materials for building shacks as well promoting fire safety among schoolchildren in the community. Further research is needed to determine the impact of HIV/AIDS on the outcome of acute burn injuries within the Southern African region. Further interventions are needed to tackle this serious public health issue. A mortality prediction model is proposed for use in the burn unit, but needs external validation before being adopted into clinical practice. Further research is needed to improve data capturing in the burn unit.

Abstract:
The consequences of sustaining a burn are potentially devastating to a person. Even a relatively smooth recovery from a burn injury can be traumatic to both the body and mind of the patient. Complications, such as infection, only serve to augment this traumatic period through prolonging recovery and worsening outcome. Notwithstanding the great advances in burn treatment made during the last half century, the presence of infection has remained a major influence in dictating the path of recovery for an individual. In fact, advances in resuscitation, surgery, and intensive care support have only served to emphasise the role played by infection. Patients with even severe burns are now surviving their initial injury and remaining in hospital for prolonged periods of rehabilitation. Coupled with a worldwide increase in multi-drug resistant bacteria, and an endemic overuse of increasingly complex regimens of antibacterials, the threat from nosocomial pathogens is greater than ever. As bacteria become increasingly resistant to antibiotics, novel bactericidal technologies must be explored. Furthermore, emphasis has shifted from treatment to prevention, specifically prevention of cross-contamination between patients. The High-Intensity Narrow-Spectrum light Environmental Decontamination System (HINS-light EDS) is one such weapon in the armamentarium against cross-infection. It works using a safe blue light to kill bacteria in the air and on surfaces around patients and staff. When considering the setting for the first clinical trials of the effectiveness of this light, no area was considered to be more appropriate than the burns unit, due to the high density and great significance of bacteria in this unique environment. This thesis has not just examined the HINS-light EDS. It has taken a holistic view through considering every step of the route by which one nosocomial strain of bacteria is passed from burns patient to burns patient: the cycle of cross-contamination. Every step in this cycle has been examined in order to determine when the HINS-light EDS could have its maximum efficiency. This has been coupled with extensive clinical studies of the HINS-light EDS in a variety of inpatient and outpatient scenarios in the burns unit, to determine the optimal utilisation of this technology and achieve maximum impact on bacterial populations in the environment.

Abstract:
The purpose of this historiographical nursing study was to explore Australian Burn Wound Care from a nursing perspective, at two periods of time. It was the intention of the author to explore practices at the inception of specialised burns units, from the 1950's, presenting an historical perspective, and at the present time, May 1995. Eleven burns units across Australia participated in the study. There were 22 participants in the research sample. Each burns unit identified the first Charge Nurse (n =11) and the current Clinical Nurse Specialist (n =11), to be involved in the data collection process. The conceptual framework for this study incorporates the Reflective Cycle (Gibbs, 1988) succinctly incorporating the 'who', 'where', 'why', 'when' and 'what' aspects of the historical method of inquiry. An interview guide, used in conjunction with three photographs depicting burn wounds, provided interview structure for the data collection. A variety of historical data were gathered and analysed. These included scientific medical and nursing texts, foundation minutes, reports and conference papers of Australian and New Zealand Bums Association, to gain perspective of Australian Bum Wound Care. However, the data collated from 1950 to 1996 uncovered no written material on bum wound care. The information available was obtained exclusively from the indepth interviews. The data collated for the current perspective included hospital/ burns unit protocols and indepth interviews with key nursing personnel. A field trip facilitated the data collection, enabling semi-structured, audiotaped interviews in person and the opportunity to visit hospital libraries. The findings of the study have been organised to show bum wound care practices endorsed by Australian burns units, at the inception of specialised facilities, and at the present time.

Abstract:
Sepsis and multi-organ failure are the most frequently reported causes of death in burn injuries. Their early identification allows therapies and resources to be targeted in a more effective and efficient way. Due to its frequent antibiotic drug resistance Acinetobacter baumannii (MRAB) is increasingly causing a problem in burns units. New strategies need to be found to combat infection and sepsis in the burn ICU. This study examines the potential of the Albumin Creatinine Ratio, a marker of systemic endothelial dysfunction in predicting outcomes, sepsis and multi-organ failure; the role of Acinetobacter in causing organ failure; and explores for the presence of the cathelicidin, LL-37 in the burn wound and examines it potential utility for treating infection and sepsis. It was found that ACR on admission and at 48 hours is predictive of patient outcomes and the development of sepsis, and may be of use predicting multi-organ failure. Multi-organ failure occurs more frequently in MRAB patients compared to those patients with drug sensitive Acinetobacter baumannii. The number of agency nursing staff and work intensity are possible contributing factors in MRAB acquisition. LL-37 has been found in both acute burn wounds as well as in the grafted healing burn wound and is active against drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. ACR can therefore identify those patients at risk of sepsis and may have a role in predicting multi-organ failure. MRAB acquisition in the burns intensive care unit is a significant cause for concern as patients are more likely to suffer from multi-organ failure as well as prolonging their hospital stay and resulting in poorer outcomes. LL-37 has many functions and importantly plays a role in the body’s innate immune system. In the era of increasing antibiotic resistance it may provide a novel therapeutic role in treating MRAB infection.

Abstract:
nÃo hÃ<br>The knowledge about the cultural and familiar view of accidents with burns in children allow to contribute the creation of strategies that value not only the cure of the sickness, yet conditions of prevention of new accidents with children, but also to promote conditions of dialogue between family and health professionals essential to humanization in Burn Specialized Centers. This study had as objective to understand as the beliefs, values and style of life of the families influence in the care of children victims of burns intern in a Burnt Treatment Center, in Fortaleza, CearÃ; and characterize families of burnt children intern from April to August of 2008. It is an ethnographic approach accomplish in a Hospital Institution of Urgency and Emergency, where there is a Burnt Treatment Center in the city of Fortaleza-Cearà from April to August of 2008, which has as key informers the families of burnt children. The whole collect and analysis process was based in ethnonursery proposed by Leininger (1991), to gather the data were made use of Observation-Participation-Reflection pattern (O.P.R.). In the data arrangement and analysis the Ethnonursery was the guide in the following stages: gathering information and documents; to cluster the storage data in the field day book; contextual or standard analysis and identification of main themes, discovery of research, theoretical formulations and warnings. From the ethnographic analysis sprout three cultural rules: 1) The child is very naughty, the families aim the curiosity of the children as the cause of the accident with burns, not knowing the stages of growing and development of the children, blame the infant for the burn. 2) She washed with water and brought to the hospital, the families think that to wash the burn with water is a way to render pleasant the pain of the burn and to forward the child to a hospital, to establish a way to offer a right care after the accident; 3) to watch more out for, it shows the significance to prevent other accidents with burns and to drive away children of the danger, as to take them away of the kitchen. It was perceived that mothers in spite of having their cultural knowledge, they learn a lot during the study, for as they have much uncertainty that day by day was enlightened and made them think about their behavior with their children. Therefore, we conclude that is essential the cultural approach of the professional to take care of children victims of burns and the Health Education must be available as strategies of welcome that consent the family and the child can feel safe<br>O conhecimento sobre a Ãtica cultural e familiar dos acidentes com queimaduras em crianÃas permite contribuir para a criaÃÃo de estratÃgias que valorizem nÃo apenas a cura da doenÃa, mas condiÃÃes de prevenÃÃo de novos acidentes com crianÃas, bem como promover o diÃlogo entre famÃlia e profissionais de saÃde essenciais para a humanizaÃÃo em Centros Especializados de Queimaduras. O presente estudo objetivou compreender como as crenÃas, valores e estilo de vida das famÃlias influenciam no cuidado de crianÃas vÃtimas de queimaduras internadas em um Centro de Tratamento de Queimados e caracterizar famÃlias de crianÃas queimadas internadas no perÃodo de abril a maio de 2008. à uma pesquisa etnogrÃfica realizada em uma InstituiÃÃo Hospitalar de UrgÃncia e EmergÃncia, na qual dispÃem de um Centro de Tratamento de Queimados em Fortaleza, CearÃ, no perÃodo de abril a agosto de 2008, que teve como informantes-chaves as famÃlias de crianÃas queimadas. Todo o processo de coleta e anÃlise foi embasado na Etnoenfermagem proposto por Leininger (1991), para a coleta de dados foi utilizado o modelo de ObservaÃÃo-participaÃÃo-reflexÃo (O.P.R.). Na ordenaÃÃo e anÃlise dos dados a Etnoenfermagem serviu como norteadora nas seguintes etapas: coleta de descritos e documentos; agrupar os dados armazenados no diÃrio de campo; anÃlise contextual ou padrÃo e identificaÃÃo de temas principais; descobertas de pesquisa; formulaÃÃes teÃricas e recomendaÃÃes. Das anÃlises etnogrÃficas surgiram trÃs domÃnios culturais: 1) A crianÃa à muito danada as famÃlias colocam a curiosidade das crianÃas como a causa do acidente com queimaduras, nÃo conhecendo as fases de crescimento e desenvolvimento dos filhos, culpam o infante pela queimadura; 2) Lavou com Ãgua e levou para o hospital as famÃlias consideram que lavar a queimadura m Ãgua à uma forma de amenizar a dor da queimadura e encaminhar o filho a uma instituiÃÃo hospitalar constitui uma forma de oferecer um cuidado correto apÃs o acidente; 3) Ter mais cuidado a importÃncia de prevenir outros acidentes com queimaduras e afastar as crianÃas dos fatores de risco, como: tirÃ-las da cozinha. Foi percebido que durante o estudo as mÃes, apesar de terem seus conhecimentos culturais, aprenderam muito, pois tinham muitas dÃvidas que gradativamente eram esclarecidas e faziam com que refletissem sobre seu comportamento com seus filhos. Portanto, considera-se imprescindÃvel a abordagem cultural do profissional para cuidar de crianÃas vÃtimas de queimaduras e que a EducaÃÃo em SaÃde deve ser utilizada como estratÃgia que permita que tanto a famÃlia, quanto a crianÃa possam se sentir segura

Abstract:
AbstractGiven the serious adverse effects of hypothermia in term and preterm infants, thermal protection is of paramount importance in neonatal care. To compare potential benefits of wIRA radiators with conventional radiant warmers in neonatology, physical investigations (agar phantoms) and clinical observations (term and preterm neonates) were performed. Physical investigations revealed a fundamental difference in the mode of action between the two types of radiation: Whereas with conventional radiant warmers, the increase in core temperature (phantoms) is preceded by marked elevations in surface temperature, wIRA leads to more direct rises in core temperature and results in smaller amounts of evaporative water loss from the surface. Clinical observations reveal that wIRA causes less skin surface warming than conventional heat irradiation at equal power densities (irradiances). wIRA used as a supplementary source of heat during primary care in the delivery room was found to exert a preventive effect against unintentional heat loss during the subsequent incubator transport of preterm neonates to the intensive care unit. Overall, due to its specific physical properties (“enhanced depth effect with less surface overheating”), wIRA seems to be particularly suited to replace the extra heat losses occurring in preterm or otherwise compromised neonates without undue risk of superficial burns.

Full text
Abstract:
Since communities and companies are deciding to dispose sludges of different origin in a safe and nonpolluting way, more and more sludge is burnt either in mono-combustion or co-combustion units. Lurgi Energie und Entsorgung GmbH, one of the most experienced fluidized bed designer, is commissioning two bubbling bed incinerators of totally different incinerator size in 2002. In France the smallest fluidized bed incinerator ever built by Lurgi with a cross-sectional bed area of 4 m2 is designed to burn 750 kg (d.m.)/h sewage sludge. In spite of the small size it consists of all equipment necessary for sewage sludge incineration, including a disc dryer, a thermal oil boiler for heat recovery and a complete state of the art flue gas cleaning system. Air pollutants are removed in a circulating fluidized bed adsorber (CFB) designed in accordance with the new Lurgi CIRCOCLEAN® process. In United Kingdom the largest bubbling bed incinerator ever built by Lurgi with a cross-sectional bed area of 32 m2 is going to start its operation in 2002. The plant burns a mixture of thickened and mechanically dewatered primary and secondary sludge and different plastic residues from waste paper recycling plants. In order to provide sufficient disposal capacity of the waste material generated at the Kemsley Paper Mill site some parts of the installation consist of parallel streams or units (e. g. waste material handling and storage). The overall design throughput rate of mixed waste material is 22.8 t(a.r.)/h, corresponding to a thermal load of 29.1 MW. Due to the specific properties of the paper sludge, the formed ash can be used as an adsorbent/reactive compound for the capture of acidic pollutants. The flue gas cleaning system consists of a zeolite dosing unit to remove dioxins/furanes upstream of a baghouse filter. The paper presents the main design parameters of both disposal facilities and peculiarities of the burnt materials in comparison to other sludges. Since the plants are still in the commissioning phase only problems that might occur during the operation of the plant and tendencies in the operation behavior are described.

Abstract:
The problem of electrical workers being injured or killed by electrical arcs and blasts is one of the most significant safety issues in the industry today. Accident data reveals that over 2,000 people are severely burned annually by electrical arc blasts on the job (1) and many others receive less severe burns that still result in significant pain and suffering to the victim. The purpose of this presentation is to provide an overview of the arc-flash hazard analysis (AFHA) process and general guidance for those organizations wishing to integrate AFHA into their overall electrical safety program. The electric utility industry was the first non-academic group to study arc-flash hazards (AFH) when they noted that electrical workers often received the most severe burns from their clothing igniting and continuing to burn long after the initiating arc had extinguished. In particular, man-made fibers such as polyester, nylon, and rayon were known to melt and stick to the worker’s skin following an AF, and this resulted in burns many times worse than had the injured worker been wearing no clothing at all (2). Subsequent studies were performed by private organizations and they impacted both the engineering and safe work practices associated with industrial plant operations. The primary standards or studies included: • IEEE 1584 Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations • NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace • OSHA 29 CFR 1910.269: Electrical Power Generation, Transmission, and Distribution Standard Of these documents, the IEEE 1584 Guide was most influential to engineers because it provided formulas for calculating incident energy levels, arc-flash protection boundaries, and a host of other important variables necessary to evaluate AFH in the work place. The term ‘incident energy’ refers to the amount of heat concentrated per unit-area of the skin. Incident energy is measured in calories per square centimeter (cal/cm2) of skin surface area. For reference, a value of 1.2 cal/cm2 will result in a second-degree burn of human skin (3). The principal reason why AFHA is necessary is that studies revealed that electrical arcs are somewhat unpredictable events (4), and there were many cases where seemingly innocuous energy sources (small transformers) produced incident energy levels that far exceeded the limitations of flame resistant (FR) clothing or other forms of personal protective equipment. It became obvious that the best method for protecting employees from AFH would be to evaluate the hazard level and then mitigate it through the use of engineering controls.

In 1998 2nd International Pipeline Conference. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 1998. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/ipc1998-2028.

Full text
Abstract:
Non-serviceable defects, such as cracking, dents, corrosion, or mill defects, are found in operating pipelines. Past methods to repair these defects have included removing the defect, welding a pressure containing sleeve, or, for corrosion, installing either a mechanically tightened or fibreglass reinforcing sleeve. These methods involved potential system shut downs, potential loss of throughput, and in some cases welding to the carrier pipe. The PETROSLEEVE compression sleeve repair system consists of installing steel plate material that is shaped and sized to encircle the carrier pipe. The repair is completed while the carrier pipe continues to operate at the pipeline’s operational pressure. Following installation, the pipe and sleeve act as one unit, expanding and contracting with pressure changes. Depending on the installation parameters, the repair sleeve can be installed so that compressive stresses are maintained in the pipe for all pressure operating ranges. This repair method does not require any welding to the operating pipeline. It can be installed when the carrier pipe is at maximum operating pressure.

Abstract:
Portland General Electric’s (PGE) Boardman plant is a nominal 600 megawatt (MW) coal fired unit that burns sub-bituminous Powder River Basin (PRB) coal from Wyoming. This paper will cover the experience and results of PGE’s Boardman plant operating on 100% torrefied wood (TW) pellets at 255 MW consuming almost 5000 tons of pellets. Results were positive and include suitable handing after inclement weathering for months. Pulverizers were able to handle the TW pellets with adjustments, resulting in near 100% combustion efficiency. Particulates were controlled with an electrostatic precipitator (ESP). Topics investigated include torrefied wood production, fuel handling and storage on the front end of the test. Fuel handling, pulverization, combustion, emissions, and ESP performance were monitored during the test and are reported here. Several one mill tests were conducted prior to the 100% test to evaluate and improve mill performance. This test showed that a pulverized coal (PC) boiler can operate on 100% TW fuel with minimal operational changes.

Full text
Abstract:
Ash and slag deposits in coal fired boilers contribute to boiler in-efficiency, capacity reductions, and overheated tubes, which lead to tube failures. Typical on-line cleaning systems are not automated and do not optimize the removal of ash and slag deposits. The paper describes the development and implementation of an Intelligent Sootblowing (ISB) system which monitors data such as heat transfer rate and pendant weight and operates the boiler cleaning devises in an automatic mode. The system operates cleaning equipment to only clean what needs to be cleaned, thus reducing tube erosion and clinker formation. The Intelligent Sootblowing (ISB) system uses the process data, algorithms, thermodynamic models, and ash weight to derive a supervisory sequence control to initiate most effective sootblowing device, when and where necessary. Unique strain gage ash weight measurement feedback is utilized in the system. The system is modular and built with an Open Architecture off the shelf components. It comprises PLC Panels, Data Acquisition Panels and HMI (Human Machine Interface) / EWS (Engineering Work Station) using distributed controls architecture. This system also supports industry standard communication protocols, which provides seamless integration between the ISB system and the plant’s DCS. This protocol can be Ethernet, Modbus, Modbus TCP, DH+ or Serial. The Case Studies will describe existing installations where the integrated system controls the entire boiler cleaning system. One installation is in Texas for an 850 MW, supercritical Combustion Engineering tangential fired pulverized coal unit. The boiler burns Texas lignite coal with as much as 15% Powder River Basin coal blended. The soot blowing system consists of 50 retractable soot blowers and 8 water cannons plus air heater cleaners. Testing for this unit was supervised by EPRI. A second installation is in Louisiana where the system improved overall plant efficiency as much as 1% with a resulting high return on investment. Improvements also included improved heat rate, boiler efficiency, a reduction in spray flow and a reduction in soot blowing events.

Abstract:
Great River Energy operates a waste-to-energy plant in Elk River, Minnesota. The plant burns 850 tons per day of refuse derived fuel (RDF) in three boilers, and its three steam turbines can produce 32 MW of electricity. In the largest of the three units, the No. 3 Boiler, steam generation was restricted by carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission limits. The plant had an interest in improving the combustion performance of the unit, thereby allowing higher average RDF firing rates while staying within emissions compliance. The project was initiated by an engineering site visit and evaluation. The boiler had a history of unstable burning on the stoker grate, which required periodic natural gas co-firing to reduce CO levels. As an outcome to the evaluation, it was decided to install a new overfire air (OFA) system to improve burnout of combustible gases above the grate. Current and new OFA arrangements were evaluated via Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling. The results illustrated the limitations of the original OFA system (comprised of multiple rows of small OFA ports on the front and rear furnace walls), which generated inadequate mixing of air and combustible gases in the middle of the boiler. The modeling illustrated the advantages of large and fewer OFA nozzles placed on the side walls in an interlaced pattern, a configuration that has given excellent performance on over 45 biomass-fired boilers of similar design upgraded by Jansen Combustion and Boiler Technologies, Inc. (JANSEN). Installation of the new OFA system was completed in April of 2008. Subsequent testing of the No. 3 Boiler showed that it could reliably meet the state emission levels for CO and NOx (200 ppm and 250 ppm, respectively, corrected to 7% dry flue gas oxygen) while generating 24% more steam than a representative five month period prior to the upgrade. This paper describes the elements that led to a successful project, including: data collection, engineering analyses, CFD modeling, system design, equipment supply, installation, operator training, and startup assistance.

Full text
Abstract:
A conceptual study was performed for a novel heat cycle designed to utilize fuel gases produced by a Taylor Biomass Energy (TBE) Gasification System. The system is sized to consume 500 dry tons per day Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). The heat cycle utilizes a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) feeding directly to a Twin-Fluidized Bed Steam Gasification Unit (TFBSGU). MSW fed into the TFBSGU is partially gasified by exhaust from the anode space of the fuel cell. The resulting gas is cooled, sour-shifted, dehydrated and compressed. The compressed gas passes through an acid-gas removal (AGR) system and then is returned to the anode space of the fuel cell. Combustion air is compressed and passes through the cathode space of the fuel cell before entering the TFBSGU in a separate stream from the fuel gas. The resulting flue gas leaves the TFBSGU and is cooled and expanded before exhausting to atmosphere. The design also features sour shift and acid gas removal from the fuel stream. The plant produces 44 net MW, converting approximately 43% of the energy in the MSW into electricity and 23% of the energy into usable thermal energy. Overnight 2009 EPC costs are estimated at $6000/net kw. Electrical production costs are estimated at 126$/MWhr. Because the plant burns MSW, it provides carbon offsets. In addition, approximately 60% of the carbon dioxide produced by the plant can be readily sequestered. The conceptual design included a heat balance, water balance, auxiliary load list, capital cost estimate, and cost of electricity estimate.

Full text
Abstract:
Based on a benchmark SOFC hybrid power system without CO2 capture, a zero CO2 emission atmospheric pressure SOFC hybrid power system integrated with oxygen ion transport membrane (OTM) is proposed. The oxygen is produced by the OTM for the oxy-fuel combustion afterburner, and the anode outlet gas of the SOFC is injected into the afterburner and then burns with the oxygen from OTM. So the combustion products of the afterburner are only composed of CO2 and H2O, CO2 in the flue gas can be separated and captured by a simple condensation method. After the recovery of heat and work by the heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) and steam turbine, part of the outlet flue gas from the HRSG is injected into the afterburner to reduce the outlet flue gas temperature of the afterburner to about 1100°C, 200°C higher than the operating temperature of OTM. The rest exits the system and CO2 is captured. The fuel utilization factor of SOFC and the pressure ratio (π) between two sides of OTM membrane as the key factors which greatly influence the overall system performance are analyzed and optimized. The research results show that the efficiency of the zero CO2 emission atmospheric pressure SOFC hybrid power system integrated with OTM is around 58.36%, only 2.48% lower than that of the benchmark system (60.84%) but 0.96% higher than that of the zero CO2 emission atmospheric pressure SOFC hybrid system integrated with the cryogenic air separation unit. The research achievements from this paper will help for further study on zero CO2 emissions SOFC hybrid power system with higher efficiency.

Full text
Abstract:
On February 9, 2022, Cobb County Fire and Emergency Services responded to a fire in a ground floor unit in a garden apartment building. At arrival, the fire was a post-flashover fire in a bedroom. Initial fire control was attempted by an interior fire attack team which was unable to quickly locate the fire. Exterior suppression through the bedroom window was started prior to discovery of the fire by the interior team. Shortly after fire discovery by the internal team, a mayday was called. Four firefighters from the interior fire attack team received first and second degree burns. This report analyzes photographic, video, and written documentation from the incident to evaluate the timeline of the incident and to assess the fire conditions present. Computer modeling using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) was performed to provide further insight into the fire conditions and the impact of decisions and actions on the fire ground. Additionally, data from a full scale fire test of a similar fire in a similar structure was used to provide additional insight. Four FDS simulations were performed in support of the analysis. These included a simulation of the event as it unfolded and three simulations looking at the impact of alternate tactics which included: initial exterior attack prior to entry, the use of a smoke curtain to protect the building exit path, and interior only attack. FDS simulations provided insight on the heat present in the apartment during the fire and the impact of the interior and exterior suppression on conditions inside the apartment. Full scale test data of a similar fire showed similar behavior to the FDS predictions and gives credence to the FDS results. Results of the analysis suggest that injuries resulted from the length of time the interior attack team was present inside the apartment before actions were taken to reduce the severity of the fire. Six contributing factors were identified including size-up, communication and accountability, delayed exterior attack, lack of entry hall protection, the apartment layout and construction, thermal imager use, and mayday procedures and training. The last contributing factor was a positive contribution that helped avoid more serious injuries. Based on the contributing factors, five recommendations were made that include improved size-up, exterior fire control to prevent exterior spread, protection of exit pathways, basing fire ground tactics on known information, and recognizing when a change in tactics is needed.
