21/09/2006 - A new compressed air generator allows processors to make their own nitrogen, used in the food and drink industry to extend shelf life. Dominick Hunter claims its nitrogen generator, Maxigas, is a safer and cost effective alternative to high-pressure cylinders and dewars.
Chemists at Arizona State University in Tempe have created a tiny hydrogen-gas generator that they say can be developed into a compact fuel cell package that can power laptop computers and other portable electronics. The fuel cells could last three to five times longer than conventional batteries of the same size and weight, they say. Their study will be presented on Sept. 12 in San Francisco
Generating nitrogen from compressed air, MAXIGAS meets Modified Atmosphere Packaging, blanketing, and sparging needs to prevent spoilage. Generator offers alternative to high-pressure cylinders and dewars, eliminating refills and order processing. Because nitrogen is available on-demand, down-time associated with changing cylinders is minimized.
THE recent bio-ethanol fuel tests done by Dr. Bagenda Ssengonzi, the head of Kyambogo University Department of Mechanical Engineering and his team, have proved that ethanol distilled from Ugandan cereals and tubers can power industrial machinery. The research started eight months ago.
