Waste and recycling: taking a proactive approach to fire safety

Envirotec Magazine

As we enter the warmer months, waste and recycling sites are increasingly vulnerable to fire. Such risks are amplified by the presence of batteries in waste streams and in the vehicles and machinery used on waste sites. The content of waste streams seems to change in an ongoing, unpredictable fashion.

Liquid air: A cool option for energy storage?

Envirotec Magazine

Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) uses electricity to cool air until it liquefies, so it can be stored until an opportune moment arrives when it can be brought back to a gaseous state and used for power generation. This is achieved by compressing the air to form a high-pressure gas, the air is then cooled by heat exchange with a cold fluid.
