In Part A of this paper we presented a novel smart foam pig, with sensing capabilities analogous to those of a multi-channel caliper pig, but characterized by very low operating risks due to its high capability to negotiate restrictions and its very low likelihood of creating obstructions, hence encouraging more frequent pipeline inspection campaigns.
Faced with official diffidence and scant popular enthusiasm for conservationism, Sasaki is spurred on by relatively low operating costs and the knowledge that he is playing a small part in a nascent interest among the Japanese in sustainable sushi.
Widespread application of adsorption heat pumps has been delayed not only by poor heat and mass transfer performance but also by low operating reliability because high vacuum must be maintained in the adsorption cooling system, especially in a water system.
Emission of nitrogen oxides can be greatly diminished by low operating temperatures and high energy efficiency can be attained by stable combustion of lean fuels.
Drawn by low operating costs, generous tax incentives, and proximity to the U.S., more than ten major call-center firms now operate in El Salvador, employing some twenty thousand people.
ZnO CO2 H2O process is favored by low operating and regeneration temperature and could be ideal for post-combustion CO2 capture.
Compared to conventional microbiological methods, both techniques provide fast, accurate identification results by low operating costs, although FTIR spectroscopy was slightly superior to MALDI-TOF-MS.
Zeolites could adsorb a higher quantity of CO2 than does by activated carbon at low operating pressures (< 20 kPa) [4, 5], whereas carbon-based adsorbents are better for CO2 storage applications [5, 6].
An X-ray beam provided by a low power Rh source operating at 35 kV and 800 μA is focused on a sample using a 6-mm focal distance polycapillary lens[16, 17].
