Located in Sterling, CT, near the border of the state of Rhode Island, is the Exeter Energy plant. This a 31 megawatt waste tire-fueled power plant. The facility utilizes whole and shredded tires as primary fuel, and propane for startup and shutdown.

The plant generates approximately 200,000 megawatt-hours of electricity a year, which is equivalent to conserving approximately 480,000 barrels of oil annually. The plant qualifies as a Class II renewable energy source. Electricity from the plant is directed along an 8.5 mile underground cable system for final sale into the regional electricity market.

CMS Enterprises operates the plant and is its sole owner.]]>

Das Gaswerk Augsburg wurde 1915 im Augsburger Stadtteil Oberhausen in Betrieb genommen. Seit 2001 ist das gesamte Gaswerk mit dem Gaskessel stillgelegt.

Die bis 1915 erbauten Gebäude überstanden den Zweiten Weltkrieg unbeschadet und stehen heute unter Denkmalschutz: Ofenhaus, Behälterturm, Elektro-Zentrale, Werkstättentrakt, Saugerhaus, Apparatehaus und Reinigergebäude, Beamtenwohnhaus, Angestelltenwohnhaus, Bürogebäude, drei Arbeiterwohnhäuser sowie zwei Teleskop-Gasbehälter.

Das acht Hektar große Gelände hat zum Teil park- und schlossähnlichen Charakter. Es gilt als Denkmal von europäischem Rang und ist einzigartig in Bayern. Es sind noch fast alle Gebäude erhalten und zwei verschiedene Gasbehälterarten (Teleskop- und Scheibengasbehälter) zu sehen. Auch die Umhüllung des ersten Scheibengasbehälters von MAN (Baujahr 1914/15, also ein Pionierbau) steht noch auf dem Gelände.]]>

Located in China’s resource-rich but moisture-poor Xinjiang autonomous region, Lop Nur is an uninviting location for any kind of agriculture. It sits at the eastern end of the Taklimakan Desert, where marching sand dunes can reach heights of 200 meters (650 feet), and dust storms rage across the landscape.

Yet for all it lacks in agricultural appeal, Lop Nur offers something valuable to farmers the world over: potash. This potassium salt provides a major nutrient required for plant growth, making it a key ingredient in fertilizer.

Link below to high resolution image from:
The Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on NASA’s Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite captured this natural-color image of Lop Nur on May 17, 2011. The rectangular shapes in this image show the bright colors characteristic of solar evaporation ponds. Around the evaporation ponds are the earth tones typical of sandy desert.

The Kennecott Smokestack is a 1,215 ft. high (370.4 meter) smokestack west of Magna, Utah, along SR-201 near the Great Salt Lake. It was built in order to spread the exhaust gases far away from the area of the Kennecott smelter for copper. In 1974, (the year it was completed), environmental rules were such that waste gases could be released in large quantities as long as they were diluted. At that time, up to 48,000 pounds per hour of sulfur dioxide were released. The stack remains as a monument of that time and is still used to exhaust remaining gases after a thorough]]>

@ 2009-09-28 16:23:12
A gas holder (or gasholder or gasometer, sometimes also gas bell) is a large container where natural gas or town gas is stored near atmospheric pressure at ambient temperatures. The volume of the container follows the quantity of stored gas, with pressure coming from the weight of a movable cap. Typical volumes for large gasometers are about 50,000 cubic metres, with 60 metre diameter structures. Gasometers tend to be used nowadays for balancing purposes (making sure gas pipes can be operated within a safe range of pressures) rather than for actually storing gas for later use.]]>

A gas flare or flare stack is an elevated vertical stack or chimney found on oil wells or oil rigs, and in refineries, chemical plants and landfills used for burning off unwanted gas or flammable gas and liquids released by pressure relief valves during unplanned over-pressuring of plant equipment. In landfills, the primary purpose of this device is to vent and/or burn waste gas which results from the decomposition of materials in the dump.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/gas-flares/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/gas-flares/ Thu, 17 Sep 2009 08:45:30 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/gas-flares/ 29.21507000 50.31340200 <![CDATA[Destileria Serralles (Captain Morgan, Don Q, Palo Viejo Rums)]]>

Distileria Serrallés is a rum producer located in Ponce, Puerto Rico, known for its Don Q and Captain Morgan rum brands.

The Serrallés family was a Spanish family from Cataluña that established its links to Puerto Rico in the mid 1830s. They were successful in harvesting and refining cane sugar and exporting it to the United States, the United Kingdom and France. The plantation virtually became a company town, and eventually had its own rail line, workers' housing, transportation fleet, commissary, and private -later public- airport (Ponce's Mercedita Airport). Most of these operations were eventually annexed to the municipality of Ponce, in whose lands the plantation is based.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/destileria-serralles-captain-morgan-don-q-palo-viejo-rums/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/destileria-serralles-captain-morgan-don-q-palo-viejo-rums/ Sat, 27 Jun 2009 15:56:03 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/destileria-serralles-captain-morgan-don-q-palo-viejo-rums/ 18.48526700 -66.83826700 <![CDATA[Abandoned whale station and whaling fleet]]>

Fontana Reservoir occupies a site of particular splendor deep in the Great Smoky Mountains. Fishing, boating, and swimming are all popular at Fontana, but it is perhaps most appreciated by wilderness hikers and campers.

The Appalachian Trail, which extends over 2,000 miles from Georgia to Maine, crosses the top of Fontana Dam. The hot showers available at the trail shelter maintained by TVA have led grateful hikers to dub it the Fontana Hilton. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park borders the reservoir to the north.]]>

@ 2008-02-03 19:29:43
A gasometer, or gas-holder, is a large container where natural gas or town gas is stored near atmospheric pressure at ambient temperatures. The volume of the container follows the quantity of stored gas, with pressure coming from the weight of a movable cap. Typical volumes for large gasometers are about 50,000 m³, with 60 m diameter structures.

Gasometers tend to be used for balancing purposes (making sure gas pipes can be operate within a safe range of pressures) rather than for actually storing gas for later use. Gas more recently was stored in large underground reservoirs such as salt caverns. Nowadays however line-packing is the preferred method.]]>
