In this paper, an offshore process front end engineering design (FEED) method is systematically introduced and reviewed to enable efficient offshore oil and gas production plant engineering. An integrated process engineering environment is also presented for the topside systems of a liquefied natural gas floating production, storage, and offloading (LNG FPSO) unit, based on the concepts and procedures for the process FEED of general offshore production plants. Various activities of the general process FEED scheme are first summarized, and then the offshore process FEED method, which is applicable to all types of offshore oil and gas production plants, is presented. The integrated process engineering environment is presented according to the aforementioned FEED method. Finally, the offshore process FEED method is applied to the topside systems of an LNG FPSO in order to verify the validity and applicability of the FEED method.

Triticale을 사료로서의 특성을 알기 위하여 밀(북견 66호, 월한1호, 치오쿠코무기), 호밀(Amilo, W Warko, Mardar), triticale(Moniko, Presto, Tewo)을 출수기, 유숙기, 호숙기, 황숙기에 수확하여, 건물 수량, 사료성분 및 IVDMD을 조사했다. 1. 재료의 건물수량은 어느 초종도 생육에 따라 증가했고, triticale은 다른 2종의 초종보다 수량성이 우수했다. 2. triticale의 사료성분은 대부분 멸과 호밀의 중간에 위치했다. 3. triticale과 호멸의 IVDMD는 출수기부터 호숙기까지 저하하고, 성숙기에 향상한 것에 반해 밀은 생육에 따라 저하했다. triticale의 IVDMD는 출수기와 성숙기에서 가장 높았고, 유숙기와 호숙기에서는 밀이 높았고, 호밀은 출수기를 제외한 모든 시기에서 최저였다.

The boiler feed-water pump controllers which can be applied to 500MW class coal fired power plants was developed. The validity of the developed controllers was shown via the applied test result in a power plant. It is expected that the developed controllers are used to retrofit the existing controllers that have surpassed their expected service life and have limited spare parts, and contributes to the stable operation of plants. Based on the collected data and analysis, new control schemes were developed and implemented during the overhaul period in the new control systems. During normal operation, feed water could be supplied to the boiler with the capability of the 1600t/h flow without any problems in automatic mode of controllers. In this study, the feed-water pump controllers were developed successfully. In addition, it is expected that the developed controllers can make the plant operation more stable and can be applied to a lot of power plants.

Heat stress is a major challenge to animal production in tropical and subtropical climates. Rabbits suffer from heat stress more than farm animals because they have few sweat glands, and their bodies are covered with thick fur. Intensive farming relies on antibiotics as antimicrobials or growth promoters to increase animals' productivity and health. However, the European Union and many countries have banned or restricted the use of antibiotics in animal feed for human health concerns. Several studies have found that replacing antibiotics in rabbit feed with natural plants or feed additives increases productivity and improves immune capacity, especially under heat stress conditions. Growth performance, immune response, gut microflora, and carcass yield may be increased in rabbits fed a diet supplemented with some natural plants and/or propolis. In this review article, we discuss and summarize the effects of some herbs and plant extracts as alternative feed additives on rabbit productivity, especially for those raised under hot ambient temperatures.

In this study, an offshore process FEED(Front End Engineering Design) method is systematically established to perform integrated process engineering for topsides systems of LNG FPSO(Floating, Production, Storage, and Off-loading unit) based on the concepts and procedures for the process FEED of general offshore production plants. First, various activities of the general process FEED engineering are summarized, and then the offshore process FEED method, which is suitable for application to all types of offshore oil and gas production plants, is proposed. Second, an integrated process engineering environment is built based on the proposed FEED method. Finally, the integrated process engineering environment is applied to topsides systems of an LNG FPSO in order to verify the validity and applicability of the proposed FEED method. As a result, it is shown that the proposed FEED method can be applied to the process FEED engineering of FPSOs and moreover will be able to contribute to perform successful offshore projects in the future.

Human-induced soil salinity is becoming a major threat to agriculture across the world. This salinisation occurs in both irrigated and rain-fed agricultural zones with the highest proportions in the arid and semi-arid environments. Livestock can play an important role in the management and rehabilitation of this land. There are a range of plants that grow in saline soils and these have been used as animal feed. In many situations, animal production has been poor as a result of low edible biomass production, low nutritive value, depressed appetite, or a reduction in efficiency of energy use. Feeding systems are proposed that maximise the feeding value of plants growing on saline land and integrate their use with other feed resources available within mixed livestock and crop farming systems. Salt-tolerant pastures, particularly the chenopod shrubs, have moderate digestible energy and high crude protein. For this reason they represent a good supplement for poor quality pastures and crop residues. The use of salt-tolerant pasture systems not only provides feed for livestock but also may act as a bio-drain to lower saline water tables and improve the soil for growth of alternative less salt tolerant plants. In the longer term there are opportunities to identify and select more appropriate plants and animals for saline agriculture.

KPX(Korea Power Exchange) has been supervising FIT(Feed-in-tariff) for renewable energy power plants and supported 289MW photovoltaic power plants with Electric Power Industry Basis Fund in 2009. In this paper, we'll analyze utilization factor of these PV power plants in 2009 and for the latest 3 years and finally utilization factor of other renewable energy power plants in 2009.

Genetically modified (GM) crops are not permitted to be cultivated in Korea, but can only be imported as food or feed purposes. The import of GM crops has sharply increased in recent years, thus raising concerns with regard to the unintentional escape of these crops during transport and manufacturing as well as the subsequent contamination of local, non-GM plants. Hence, monitoring of GM crops was studied in or outside of grain receiving ports as well as from feed-processing plants in Korea during July 2008. We observed spilled maize grains and established plants primarily in storage facilities that are exposed around the harbors and near transportation routes of the feed-processing areas. Based on the PCR analyses, a total of 17 GM maize plants and 11 seeds were found among the samples. In most cases, the established maize plants found in this study were at the vegetative stage and thus failed to reach the reproductive stage. This study concludes that, in order to prevent a genetic admixture in the local environment for GM crops or seeds, frequent monitoring work and proper action should be taken.

한국수자원공사에서 위탁 관리하고 있는 서남해안 도서지역 역삼투 해수담수화 시설 40여곳에 대한 비용 분석을 통하여 비용에 큰 영향을 미치는 요소를 찾아내고 담수화 비용 절감방안을 제시하였다. 시설에 공급되는 원수의 염도(TDS)는 담수로 취급될 수 있는 1,000mg/L 이하에서부터 해수수준인 3,000mg/L 이상까지 다양한 범위를 보이고 있다. 2005년부터 5년 동안의 비용분석 결과 유지보수비가 50.6%, 인건비가 36.9%, 그리고 에너지비가 7.8%의 순으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 일반적으로 잘 알려진 에너지 비용은 물론 담수화 비용의 가장 큰 비중을 차지하는 유지보수 비용도 원수의 TDS 농도에 직접적인 영향을 받고 있음을 밝혔다. 이는 원수의 TDS 농도가 담수화 비용의 60%에 달하는 부분에 영향을 끼치므로 담수화 비용 절감을 위해서는 저염도 원수 확보에 노력을 기울여야 한다는 것을 의미한다.

The reduction of carbon dioxide emissions becomes a global issue, the main source of carbon dioxide emissions in the Asian region is the energy conversion sector, especially coal-fired power plants. We are working to develop technologies that will at least limit the increase in carbon dioxide emissions from the thermal power plants as one way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Our research aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by removing iron oxide scale from the feedwater system of thermal power plants using a superconducting high-gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) system, thereby reducing the loss of power generation efficiency. In this paper, the background of thermal power plants in Asia is outlined, followed by a case study of the introduction of a chemical cleaning line at an actual thermal power plant in Japan, and the possibility of introducing it into the thermal power plants in China based on the results.
