Download or read book Identification of Alternative Power Sources for Dredged Material Processing Operations written by C. E. Parker and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides a basis for selecting alternative, renewable power sources specifically for operating dredged material processing systems. A dredged material processing system is designed to: (1) extract sand and gravel for commercial use, (2) remove silt and clay from water to meet quality restrictions on return water, and (3) dewater the residual silt and clay to reduce volume and provide a usable foundation for later land use. Currently, processing of dredged material usually consists of holding the hydraulically pumped slurry in a diked containment area and pumping or draining off the water after settlement of the suspended material. Subsequent natural drying by sun and wind presents a problem if the material is a fine-grained silt or clay. The scope of the assigned task was to provide a screening and selection procedure for the engineer designing a dredged material processing system in order to decide which natural form of energy (or combination), if any, should be chosen to power the system. Alternative power can be provided in several forms. The following were considered in this study: (1) Wind power, driving pumps and electric generators, (2) Solar radiation converted to thermal and electrical energy, and (3) Hydraulic power (waves and currents) for driving electric generators. Some consideration was given to obtaining power from solid waste (such as incineration of trash), but was discarded. Of all the alternative power sources studied, wind electric generation seems to be the most practical and versatile to apply at this time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'Publication Index and Retrieval System' is designed to facilitate dissemination of the information contained in the more than 200 reports resulting from the Dredged Material Research Program (DMRP) and to foster operational applications of their findings and conclusions. Information referenced in this document is applicable to project environmental assessments, detailed design, construction, and operation and maintenance as well as evaluation under requirements of regulatory functions programs. Chapter 1 contains abstracts of the DMRP Synthesis Reports, which present summaries of findings for each of the major DMRP objectives with emphasis on the significance and application of the information. Chapters 2-9 contain abstracts for each of the detailed reports; the abstracts are identified under the major DMRP objectives. Chapter 10 contains the abstracts of the reports on the field tests and demonstration projects concerned with the effects of dredged material disposal in open water and the use of dredged material for habitat creation. The abstracts are also indexed as follows: subject, geographic location, agency/organization, and author. (Author).
