This corrugation causes more noise and corrugation, not only in the original location but elsewhere in the system. In 2015, after replacing 6,500 feet (1,981 m) and grinding down (smoothing) 3 miles (4.8 km) of rail in the tube, BART reported a reduction of noise there and positive feedback from riders. [28]
Phytoremediation technologies use living plants to clean up soil, air and water contaminated with hazardous contaminants. [1] It is defined as "the use of green plants and the associated microorganisms, along with proper soil amendments and agronomic techniques to either contain, remove or render toxic environmental contaminants harmless". [2]
Currently, an industrial pilot plant is known to have proven to produce standardized products, while utilizing and neutralizing CO 2 emissions. Their system of bioconversion is said to be more productive than any other plant-based system producing oil or ethanol. [citation needed]

The first generation of IGCC plants polluted less than contemporary coal-based technology, but also polluted water; for example, the Wabash River Plant was out of compliance with its water permit during 1998–2001 [9] because it emitted arsenic, selenium and cyanide. The Wabash River Generating Station is now wholly owned and operated by the ...
Washboarding or corrugation [1] is the formation of periodic, transverse ripples in the surface of gravel and dirt roads. Washboarding occurs in dry, granular road material [ 2 ] with repeated traffic, traveling at speeds above 8.0 kilometres per hour (5 mph). [ 3 ]
The rotor itself is the medium of heat transfer in this system, and is usually composed of some form of steel and/or ceramic structure. It rotates quite slowly (around 1-2 RPM ) to allow optimum heat transfer first from the hot exhaust gases to the element, then as it rotates, from the element to the cooler air in the other sectors.
Aerosol-based fire suppression systems are usually designed to generate a "knock-down" effect by discharging the aerosol at a fairly high rate and for a fairly long time. The aerosol is said to be "condensed" for it consists of a dense fog of microparticles "gaseous vector" which exhibits gas-like, three-dimensional properties, including a ...
