Advances in Concrete Technology and Materials at Farmagudi, Goa
G. Dirk presents his suggestions how to increase the beneficial use of Fly Ash in concrete at the workshop: Advances in Concrete Technology and Materials at Farmagudi, Goa.
The workshop was organised by the Goa Engineering College, Farmagudi , the Government Polytechnic Mayem- Bicholim, Goa, together with the University of Bath, UK under the UK-India Education and Research Initiative. Georg Dirk, accompanied by Dr. Ivana Dirk, explained various avenues how to increase the use of Fly Ash in cementitious applications. He stressed that all those will lead to massive reductions in CO2 emissions in India as well as large savings of the water required for wet disposal of Fly Ash in to ash-ponds/lagoons. In this connection he was mentioning the Video “Can we afford this” produced some years ago by Dirk India, Nashik and published on Coinciding with the World Climate Summit at Paris, India needs to explore all solutions to support the summit’s aim to limit the increase of CO2 emissions to max 2% which seems to be rather difficult. Current weather abnormalities demonstrate the urgency to come to a compromise to achieve the saving aim.

Well performance optimisation with wet gas measurement
The Venturi-based wet gas systems WGS 1000 / 2000 / 3000 are designed to measure the flow of unprocessed gas directly from the well. While reaching a superior accuracy of ±1...3% in dynamically changing well streams, they are also highly flexible and economical: the system is space saving and can be implemented much quicker than other systems. And with no radioactive source, they greatly improve the safety of your personnel and operation and save on your OPEX.

Waste discs sieves, tested solutions
Sieving systems are a key element in the sorting of municipal solid waste or its preparation to the next phase of transformation into RDF. In fact, sieves allow for precise separation of the wet fraction, as well as for the sorting of materials smaller than a certain size and destined to further treatment and processing. Nearly one year ago, Forrec presented an innovative version of discs sieves, conceived and designed to overcome some of the problems experienced with traditional sieves on the market. After a...
