We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Combustion",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Processingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Teaching the benefits of the barge from
Exide Technologies, which we summarised at the time by saying "Exide Technologies (CMP Batteries) has strengthened its relationship with the West London Floating Classroom (WLFC) to help teach schoolchildren about the benefits of sustainable
transport".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Dust explosion prevention using approved IR camera from
Hawk IR International: "The explosion-proof certified infrared camera system from Hawk IR International can help prevent dust explosions, by providing real time thermal imagery to process operators and safety personnel".
In February 2008, we covered the news from GE Oil and Gas
concerning its DLN-1 IBH
- take a look at Emission-reducing technology for gas turbines
which says: "The GE Oil and Gas DLN-1 IBH emissions technology upgrade kit enables Frame 5-2 gas turbines running at partial load to meet new NOx emission standards (42ppm)".
Take a look also at the news release from Exeter Analytical (UK), Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen filter sample analysis,
as well as Precision displacement sensors aid pump research from Micro-Epsilon UK,
and Simulating nuclear power plants of the future from VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.
