Wisconsin Rep. Cory Mason introducing legilsation to authorize the Green to Gold Fund, with Eric Apfelbach of ZBB Energy; Dick Leinenkugel of the Wisconsin Dept. of Commerce; and State Senator Julie Lassa.

When it comes to clean energy manufacturing, Wisconsin is not messing around.

In August 2009, Gov. Jim Doyle announced that Wisconsin would dedicate all $55 million of the State Energy Program funding it would receive through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) to clean energy manufacturing: “Wisconsin is the only state to target its SEP funds exclusively to manufacturing. Wisconsin has a larger percentage of employees in manufacturing than any other state, and we can leverage our innovative, high-skilled workforce to create clean energy products and processes.”

Then, in his January State of the State address, the governor announced the creation of the Wisconsin Green to Gold Fund, a $100 million revolving loan fund to help manufacturers move into clean energy production or improve their energy efficiency. “This is not some pie in the sky,” Doyle said in the State of the State. “Anyone who says there aren’t jobs in the clean energy economy had better open their eyes.”

State Rep. Cory Mason agrees. Wisconsin has lost 13 percent of its manufacturing jobs during the current recession, and Mason’s district has been particularly hard hit. “In Racine, we have nearly 17 percent unemployment right now,” Mason said. “We’re in a position where 20 years ago, three quarters of the jobs were in manufacturing; now it’s down to roughly one quarter. So if we can create a program that will help businesses reduce their energy costs, become more competitive, and put people back to work in the process, it’s a win-win for everyone.”

On March 25, Mason introduced legislation that authorizes the Green to Gold Fund. According to the Wisconsin Department of Commerce, which will administer the fund, the initial capital will come from a combination of existing State Energy Program dollars Wisconsin received through ARRA, future Wisconsin Energy Independence Funding (funding currently administered by the Department of Commerce that goes toward clean energy manufacturing and research and development), and by streamlining existing resources.

Wisconsin will also be well positioned to receive additional federal funding if U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown’s Investments for Manufacturing Progress and Clean Technologies (IMPACT) Act is adopted. The IMPACT Act would authorize $30 billion to establish state-level revolving loan funds – similar to the Green to Gold Fund – to help small and medium-sized manufacturers retrain workers and retool facilities for clean energy production. It requires states to contribute 20 percent of the federal grant amount, a provision Wisconsin should be poised to comply with.

Provisions identical to those in the IMPACT Act were included in the American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACES) passed by the U.S. House of Representatives in June 2009, and a coalition of businesses, labor and environmental groups is pushing to include IMPACT in the soon-to-be-introduced Senate climate and clean energy bill.

Rep. Mason’s Green to Gold bill would authorize the Wisconsin Department of Commerce to issue loans to manufacturing businesses for any of the following activities: implementing energy efficiency measures in their facilities; retooling to manufacture products that support the green economy; expanding or establishing domestic clean energy manufacturing; or creating or retaining jobs engaged in the preceding activities.

“I hear from manufacturers in my district and around the state who say they would love to have a more efficient boiler or they’d love to make wind turbine parts, but they don’t have the start-up capital” said Mason. “They can’t just take the money they’re using to run their plant and use it for something else. Right now financing is tight. The Green to Gold Fund is going to fill that need.”

In addition to laying out the activities the Commerce Department can provide loans for, the bill requires the department to develop rules for the program that include clear job-creation standards for loan recipients and minimum energy savings requirements. Work paid for with loan proceeds would need to be performed by contractors or subcontractors who pay the prevailing wage.

Wisconsin has already had success in creating clean energy jobs. According to a June 2009 analysis by the Pew Charitable Trusts, Wisconsin had more than 15,000 clean energy jobs in 2007 and nearly 1,300 clean energy businesses. These numbers have likely increased since 2007, thanks in part to implementation of the state’s Renewable Portfolio Standard. Another study, by the Political Economy Research Institute and Center for American Progress, found that Wisconsin could see a net increase of 35,000 jobs if a major federal investment were made in the national clean energy economy along the lines of the spending commitments outlined in ACES combined with ARRA’s clean energy provisions.

The state is also implementing a separate $1.75 million pilot project being coordinated by the Wisconsin Manufacturing Extension Program (WMEP). The pilot project will identify 50 small manufacturers, assess their strengths and weaknesses in terms of sustainability practices, and help them implement sustainability measures that reduce the companies’ costs and their impact on the environment.

“We’re going to build a proof point out of this to demonstrate that small and mid-sized manufacturers can relatively quickly achieve higher sustainability,” said Lee Swindall, director of marketing at WMEP. “Our ultimate objective is to make Wisconsin the most sustainable manufacturing state in the nation, and this pilot is intended to prove that we can do that.”

Swindall says the pilot program will target more than energy efficiency improvements. WMEP and its partners will assess participating companies’ policies in such areas as energy use, transportation logistics, manufacturing operations, packaging practices, environmental remediation and supply chain issues. The program will not provide funding for capital investments, but it will help companies connect with other potential funding sources that could help them move toward sustainable profitability.

Manufacturers may still apply to participate in the pilot program, but assessments of companies that have applied are already in progress. Swindall expects all 50 participating companies to have their sustainability implementation plans underway by the end of 2010.

As environmental advocates around the country await Senate action on a clean energy and climate bill and labor unions grow increasingly concerned by reports of clean energy manufacturers moving their facilities from the U.S. to China, Wisconsin may have developed an approach capable of appeasing both constituencies, not to mention the manufacturers that will benefit from Green to Gold financing.

“Wisconsin has a long history of manufacturing strength, and we are increasingly attracting manufacturing companies in the new, clean energy economy,” said Rosemary Wehnes of the Sierra Club, who sits on the steering committee of the Wisconsin Apollo Alliance, which brings together labor, business, environmental and community groups to advocate for clean energy and good jobs. “This initiative will help us realize the potential of clean energy for Wisconsin. Investing in companies that want to improve their energy efficiency or retool to make clean energy products just makes sense, both for the economy and for the Wisconsin workers they will hire. We’re happy the governor is proposing this, and encouraged that Rep. Mason is taking it one step further to make sure the jobs this initiative will create are good, family-supporting jobs.”

If you have indoor/outdoor kitties and you use a cat door, have you ever walked into the kitchen to find the neighbor’s cat chowing down? Or maybe even some other kind of critter? That’s the problem with regular cat doors, they let the whole neighborhood in.

I’ve seen cat doors that are activated by a tag that kitty wears on her collar, but this is even better. The SureFlap cat door is activated by your cat’s microchip, so there are no collars or tags to loose. Easy to install in any door or wall, you simply set the SureFlap to recognize your cat’s microchip ID (it can memorize up to 32 IDs!) and then when kitty approaches the door it automatically unlocks. You can also manually lock the door to allow cats to enter only, exit only, or prevent both entering and exiting. The system is battery operated and includes a low battery indicator when it’s time to change the batteries.

Another interesting use of the SureFlap is to limit access to certain areas of your house for specific cats. Just install a SureFlap on an interior door or wall and program it for the cats who are allowed to access the area. This could be used to allow only certain cats access to special food while others are kept out.

The SureFlap was invented in the UK and is now being distributed in North America for the first time. It is available in Canada at veterinary clinics and pet supply stores and both Canadian and US residents can order online at www.sureflap.ca. The cat door itself sells for $189 CAD. Additional accessories include tunnel extenders used to mount the door in thicker doors or walls, for $20 CAD each, and a mount adapter, which is needed for installing in a window or wall, for $26 CAD.

Innovative Solutions in Naugatuck, Connecticut, USA, has recently secured FM approval for its TR420E series of float actuated level transmitters.

The TR420E is a top mounted, 316 stainless steel level sensor containing a chain of equally spaced reed switches and resistors. When activated by the vertically moving magnetic float, the variable resistive signal is converted to a proportional voltage or (4-20 mA) current output through the 12 or 24VDC powered conditioning board located in the top mounted, Nema 7 J-box. Available in lengths up to 18 feet, the TR420E features a standard ½ inch repeating increments with optional ¼ inch resolution and can be supplied in a variety of mount sizes and enclosure styles. The various output options are compatible with most programmable controllers and digital receivers.

It carries an FM explosion-proof rating for Class I, Division 1, Groups A,B,C and D; and dust-ignition proof for Class II/III, Division 1, Groups E,F and G hazardous, (classified) locations, indoor/outdoor (Type 4, 4X).

Unlike many solid state level transmitters, the TR420E float transmitter is unaffected by the conductivity or dielectric properties of the liquid. “If it floats. . . .it works!” The staggered reed switch and parallel resistor arrangement also ensure a continuous and accurate signal. Even if one reed switch were to fail, the resulting signal would be affected only at that point. The integral circuit board design, robust stainless steel tube and high pressure float resist high levels of shock and vibration make the TR420E ideal for off-road vehicle fuel tanks, generator set fuel tanks and other combustible liquid storage.

The availability of separate point-level switches for high and low alarms above or below the transmitter range lends added functional convenience in a compact package.

One application employs a TR420E with a specially weighted float to “ride” on the interface between oil and water in an oil-water separator. By adjusting the density/specific gravity of the float, Innovative’s engineers can provide a float that “sinks” through the lower density liquid, like oil, but remains buoyant in the higher density water thereby monitoring the interface of the two dissimilar fluids. The weighted float principle remains one of the most direct, reliable and economical means of sensing fluid interfaces like chemical emulsions, slurries and other dissimilar liquids.

At bauma 2010 (19-25 April 2010), HAWE Hydraulik SE, Munich, is presenting the hydraulic joystick type KFB 01 which is designed for hydraulic actuation of proportional directional spool valves. These on their part, serve to control the direction of movement of hydraulic consumers and also provide load-independent, stepless control of their speed of movement.

Type KFB 01 is suitable as pilot valve for hydraulic functions in mobile applications where joystick control is desired but electronic systems cannot be employed. Examples of applications are mining machinery or drilling equipment in explosion hazardous environment. The valve can also be used as redundant back-up for an electric actuating system, for example for hydraulic support of mobile machines.

This type of valve features a control pressure range of max. 30 bar, with a number of different pressure ranges available. KFB 01 is available either as an individual valve or as a valve bank with a maximum of ten sections enabling up to ten consumers to be controlled. The hand lever actuation is available in a spring-centered version or with detent.

The characteristics of type KFB 01 are optimally matched to the proportional directional spool valves type PSL from HAWE Hydraulik. The combination of these two products offers the advantage that the proportional directional spool valve can be installed in the machine at the ideal spot from the technical viewpoint. The proportional directional spool valve can be operated conveniently by hand from any other location via the hydraulic joystick type KFB 01. In mining this is also an important work safety aspect since the operator can remain outside the danger zone.

Type KFB 01 boasts a long service life because it is fabricated from hardened components, with all sensitive components being integrated in a closed housing and thus protected against dirt.

Space-Saver Design for Crowded Campus HVAC and Co-Generation Systems

Delivering accurate steam flow measurement in a space-saver design, the V-Cone Steam Flow Meter from McCrometer is ideal for Campus District Energy Facilities and eliminates many of the common equipment layout problems associated with steam processes in HVAC and Electric Power Co-Generation systems. Providing precision steam flow measurement, the V-Cone Flow Meter is designed for steam process lines connecting boilers with HVAC systems or co-generation energy systems. At the same time, the V-Cone’s self-conditioning flow design eliminates most of the straight-pipe requirements typically needed with many flow meter technologies by controlling swirl and other flow disturbances in the pipe that affect measurement accuracy.

With the V-Cone, larger line sizes mean larger savings. For example, when the V-Cone is installed in a typical 36-inch steam process line, it requires from 0 to 3 straight pipe diameters (0-108 inches) upstream and 0-1 (0-36 inches) downstream. A conventional flow meter would require a straight run of 360 inches upstream and 180 inches downstream. Add an elbow or U-joint if the pipeline needs to double back and the straight pipe diameter requirements will then double in cost.

The highly efficient, space-saving and precision-accuracy V-Cone Flow Meter is ideal for steam applications such as those found in campus district energy systems. It
features built in flow-conditioning and advanced differential pressure (DP) technologies. Operating over a wide flow range, while maintaining its +0.5% accuracy and +0.1% repeatability, the V-Cone supports line sizes from 0.5 to 120 inches. It can be installed virtually anywhere in a new campus district energy piping system or be easily retrofit into an existing piping layout,

Because the flow conditioning function is built-into the basic instrument, the V-Cone Flow Meter’s design is inherently more accurate than traditional DP instruments such as orifice plates and venture tubes. The V-Cone conditions fluid flow to provide a stable flow profile that increases accuracy. It features a centrally-located cone inside a tube. The cone interacts with the fluid flow and reshapes the velocity profile to create a lower pressure region immediately downstream.

Metso’s innovative research and development has taken their line of cone crushers to the next level. With the Nordberg MP®1250, Metso is providing up to 30% increase in capacity as a result of advanced crushing dynamics, while increasing the horsepower to 1250 HP. All of this, with an installation that uses the same footprint as the MP®1000.The MP®1250 has nearly a dozen key features and benefits that include: a redesigned mainframe for improved durability; a new eccentric design that provides improved surface finish and protects the eccentric in the event of overload; and a new head bushing design that further reduces head spin during no-load operation without the need for a mechanical clutch assembly.

Design improvements in the mantle locknut make maintenance quicker and easier, and there are also upgrades in the hydraulic tramp protection system, bowl adjustment and removal, and faster hydraulic re-pressurization times. Together with the new gradation auto-sizing automation system, these improvements make the MP®1250 a formidable addition to Metso’s well-established line of cone crushers. Many of the select upgrade features are also available as individual components.

Productivity
A higher fulcrum point and increased throw mean more work per cycle. An increased power rating of 1250 HP translates into a 30% potential increase in capacity.
Consistency
An advanced Gradation Auto-Setting System eliminates the need for frequent calibration and continually monitors product size for more consistent crushing and output. It also automatically adjusts the crusher setting.

Adaptability
Easier maintenance is achievable with bolt-on counterweight liners; a new head-nut or locknut that only requires common hand tools to replace; fewer accumulators to charge and monitor; fewer adjustment motors to service; and faster bowl removal.

Reliability
Improved eccentric design reduces bushing wear during reduced feed conditions. Robust design of the fully-machined sleeved eccentric provides less wear and more protection in overload conditions. A new tramp system provides better protection from mechanical overload, and new drive ring pads provide longer life.

UPGRADE KIT AVAILABLE
If you are an existing MP®1000 cone crusher user, you can expect the same results by using Metso’s MP®1250 retrofit kit for upgrading to high-throw and high pivot point.

At bauma 2010 (19-25 April 2010), HAWE Hydraulik SE, Munich, is presenting its proportional directional spool valve type PSL in the new nominal size 7. It has been designed for applications such as mobile heavy load carrying machines, pile drilling machines, ship and railway cranes, etc. Global certifications for use in explosion hazardous zones allow this valve to be used in oil and natural gas exploration installations, mining and other similar environments.

Like all types in this series, the proportional directional spool valve serves to control the direction of movement of hydraulic consumers and also provides load-independent, stepless control of their speed. It can be fed either via variable displacement pumps or constant pump systems. A special feature of the size 7 design is that a flow of 1,000 l/min can be fed in via only one input section, thereby allowing parallel operation of several functions at full speed. A volume flow of up to max. 400 l/min is available per function regardless of the load. Valve spools with stepped maximum flow ratings offer a good match to the actual requirement of the consumer without sacrifying the resolution over the stroke. Thanks to the independent selection of the maximum flow rating on the A and B side, identical speeds can be achieved, for example, for moving a differential cylinder in both directions.

Key goals in developing this new construction size also included reduced back pressure to increase energy efficiency. This objective was achieved by flow-optimized design of the ducts. Two return connections have also been provided in the input section. The lowest possible control ”p is selected at the flow controller of each valve section same as with the three existing smaller “siblings” of the proportional directional spool valve. In practice, this reduction of the pressure losses results in a noticeably lower fuel consumption and reduced heat build-up of the system, especially advantageous at machines continuously running. This reduces operating costs and saves resources.

The proportional directional spool valve in nominal size 7 is manifold mounting. This enables the individual spool valve sections to be changed easily without the necessity to disconnect the consumer lines. The directional valve can be electrically-proportionally, hydraulically, manually or via a combination of these methods.

Gassonic has developed the world’s first gas leak simulation tool for ultrasonic gas detection. The new Simulator can be accessed in a trial version on Gassonic’s website www.gassonic.com/simulator. The Simulator makes it possible to experience why ultrasonic gas leak detectors are widely used for quick gas leak detection in challenging conditions found in most outdoor oil and gas installations.

The Simulator demonstrates the major advantages of implementing ultrasonic detectors for high-pressure gas leaks. The system responds to the distinctive ultrasound created by the leak. The Gassonic detectors pick up gas leaks at the speed of sound without having to wait for the gas to accumulate and physically enter a point sensor head (conventional point detector) or within a narrow beam (open path gas detector). The acoustic detection method is thereby unaffected by unknown factors such as wind conditions, gas dilution, and leak direction.

Gassonic is the world leader in ultrasonic gas leak detectors. We have more than twelve years experience developing and perfecting ultrasonic gas leak detectors for instant gas leak detection and full failsafe operation. As part of the General Monitors family of companies, local representation is available throughout the world.
