At this joint meeting with the Chattanooga Technology Council, on Wednesday at THE CHATTANOOGAN, Jeff Cornett, VP/COO of National Safe Skies Alliance will give a presentation focusing on a project currently underway at Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport to implement a technology-based situational awareness system to improve operations and emergency response capabilities at the airport. Safe Skies is leading the project with support from the Tennessee Valley Homeland Security Technology Coalition. In addition, Safe Skies will provide an overview of activities underway to improve aviation operations and security in the coming decades.
$12 admission and lunch, $5 for students

PREVIOUS MEETING
__________________________________________________________
Monday, June 6:
"Refining Coal for Energy Independence--production of liquid fuels and electricity for the Growing Demand of the US”
- Dale Bradshaw, Chief Technical officer for Advanced Coal Technology (ACT)
Monday, June 6:
"Refining Coal for Energy Independence--production of liquid fuels and electricity for the Growing Demand of the US”
- Dale Bradshaw, Chief Technical officer for Advanced Coal Technology (ACT)
Dale Bradshaw began with
a summary of the existing coal gasification plants, their locations and process
descriptions. Then he described chemically the decomposition of coal in a
flash hydropyrolysis unit. The process that ACT (Advanced Coal
Technologies) will be testing in a plant being designed for India will use high
temperature and pressure and a short residence time to convert 1000 tpd (tons
per day) coal to 75 tpd of Benzene, Toluene, and Xylene. Other products of
this conversion will be 140 tpd low emission Fischer Tropsch (low sulfur) diesel
fuel, 160 tpd #4 fuel oil, 32 tpd Naptha, 6 tpd Ammonia, 40 tpd Sulfur, and 370
tpd CHAR with almost no Sulfur, Nitrogen, or Volatile Toxins. The CHAR can
be burned in a conventional pulverized coal power plant. The ACT process
will be optimized for maximum profit by testing for the best residence time (100
milliseconds to 3000 milliseconds), temperature (1200 F to 1800 F), pressure
(500 pisg to 900 psig) and coal particle size (50 microns to 250
microns).
