If electric vehicles, or sugar cane ethanol, or compressed natural gas, or a half dozen other new technologies, scaled up to even 10 million barrels of oil a day, less than a tenth of current world consumption, the tar sands rapidly become a very dubious economic bet.
Nocera believes that simple technology scales up more readily than complex technology scales down.
The Contour Crafting technology scales up automated additive fabrication from building small industrial parts to constructing buildings.
Many technologies have been applied searching to degrade or remove this contaminant from wastewater; however, few proposals addresses for the technology scale up and possible real application.
The article focuses on the PV membranes development, interactions between gasoline components and membranes, the improvement in process engineering, techoeconomical analysis and the technology scale up.
An analysis of the mass balance and energy flow of the ionic liquid pretreatment, the subsequent enzymatic saccharification, and their resultant composition of the products generated is summarized in Figure 7 to develop a clear overview of the technology scale up.
There's been a very clear focus requirement to make it at this scale, because they've been using something at this scale… but the technology can be scaled up.
With powerful microfluidic technology, scaling-up techniques, thermal-wave theory and constructal theory, research and engineering practice in nanofluids is entering a new era.
But, with the chorus of presidential candidates pledging to do more for aggrieved working class families, we should also be thinking about how these programs and technologies can be scaled up.
Some tweaks to contact-lens manufacturing would also be needed if the technology is to be scaled up.
