Synagro to Provide Sustainable Biosolids Recycling Solution for Southwest Florida Municipalities
Houston, TX (PRWEB) March 14, 2012
Synagro Technologies, Inc. announced today that it has entered into a Lease Agreement with the Charlotte County Public Facility Solid Waste Division to develop a regional biosolids and green waste Bio-Recycling Center at the Countys Zemel Road landfill near Punta Gorda, Florida. Under a twenty-year agreement, Synagro will design, finance, erect and operate a covered windrow composting facility that will recycle approximately 50,000 tons of biosolids per year.
We are proud to work with Charlotte County to provide a sustainable recycling solution for the region, said Pamela Racey, Vice President of Sales and Development, Synagro. By transforming natural waste materials into valuable Class AA compost, were enabling regional biosolids generators to meet civic goals even as fulfilling a critical environmental requirement of local communities.
Biosolids management options for southwest Florida are limited as much of the area lies within the sensitive watersheds of the Okeechobee and Caloosahatchee rivers. Beginning in 2013, land application of Class B biosolids will be subject to more stringent nutrient management plotting requirements. As a result, many sites that have historically been fertilized with recycled biosolids may no longer be available. This leaves distant land application sites and/or landfills located in surplus of 150 miles from many of the regions wastewater behavior plants as the only options for some municipalities, increasing costs and greenhouse gas emissions associated with transporting biosolids.
Synagros Bio-Recycling Center will substantially reduce the moving of biosolids when compared to those landfills and land application sites, lowering fossil fuel consumption and impact on the environment. Additionally, the new facility will enable communities in southwest Florida to meet state-wide recycling goals as the composting plant will receive and recycle green waste as well as biosolids. The Class AA compost produced by the facility can be used by public facility agencies in the region for maintaining playing fields, golf courses, community plantings and repairing construction sites, potentially sinking budgetary impacts associated with grounds maintenance. Other economic benefits include the foundation of new local jobs and a decrease in Charlotte Countys operating costs.
The development of the new recycling facility will enable our region to manage locally generated biosolids in a more environmentally and fiscally responsible way, said Roger Lescrynski, Project Manager-Solid Waste, Charlotte County. We chose Synagro for this project since of its qualified staff and extensive experience in building and operating these kinds of facilities crosswise the country. We look forward to partnering with them on this critical initiative.
Construction of the new Bio-Recycling Center is expected to commence in mid-2012 with full commercial operation beginning by end of year, pending approvals from the Department of Environmental Protection.

Global Polyols Market to Reach 4.33 Billion Pounds by 2017, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
San Jose, California (PRWEB) March 02, 2012
Follow us on LinkedIn Global polyols market is quite mature and volume growth tends to follow the trends and dynamics of the large end-use markets and consumer products. Europe, US and Asia-Appeasing would continue to be the major regions in terms of polyol consumption. Recuperation of the overall economic environment and increase in disposable income resulted in drastic lifestyle changes. Over the years, consumers globally have become more concerned about nutritional and health benefits of food. In industrialized countries particularly, people are more concerned about their physique and in turn the calorie content in food. This has entailed food producers to focus on the changing trends and seek alternatives that would abet in sinking calorie content without compromising on taste and appearance. These trends have become evident in nearly all food categories, particularly beverages, confectionery, preserves, bakery products and snacks.
Among the numerous methods adopted to reduce the calorie content in food such as stout replacement, the substitution of commercial sugar with polyols has gained wide application. With a sweet taste and fewer calories than sugar, polyols are perfect for low-calorie, reduced stout, and sugar free products. Polyols have also found large applications in oral hygiene products such as toothpaste and mouthwashes. Polyols provide a sweet taste and are non-carcinogenic in many cases. Further, polyols are also used on a large scale for pharmaceutical preparations. In addition, polyols serve as intermediates in the production of chemicals and are also used in plastic production.
Polyols find maximum use in industrial applications. The most vital industrial application of polyols is in the production of polyurethane. Global polyurethane market is witnessing the introduction of new products, vastly influenced by the changing market trends for conventional products. Natural Oil-based Polyols (NOP) constitutes one of the significant new arrivals in the market, hampering the growth of traditional petroleum products. Heavy rise in petroleum prices forms the principal reason for the decline in demand for commercial polyols. Renewable polyols, extracted from vegetables such as rapeseed, sunflower, and soybeans are witnessing increasing demand in most countries including the Eastern and Western Europe.
One of the major factors adversely affecting polyols market crosswise the world has been the high pricing pressure, resulting in a decline of prices for most of the polyols in recent years. Further, polyol production for food and pharma application entails vastly sophisticated facilities. Capital and raw material costs primarily account for a major part of production costs. But of late, declining prices are driving the trend towards multi-purpose and larger production facilities. For most of the major players, the polyols segment is an add-on business. The polyols business has been developed out of the traditional cereal and starch or sugar processing business. Though the contribution of polyols to their turnover has been tiny, their contribution to profits has become significant. This is primarily since polyols are value-added products compared to standard grain derivatives.
The developed US and European markets constitute two of the largest worldwide consumers of polyols accounting for a significant share in the global market, as stated by the new market research report on Polyols. Increasing health and nutritional concerns and rising demand for low calorie sweeteners in the US and Euorpe aid in sustaining market momentum and development. On the other hand, emerging markets such as China fuel growth in the Asia-Appeasing market, slated to register rapid gains at a CAGR of about 3.8% over the analysis period. Industrial applications represents the single largest end-use sector for polyols, with polyether polyols (PETP) and polyester polyols (PESP) finding maximum usage. Polyols are also finding increased applications in other industrial areas such as paints and coatings, adhesives and sealants, microcellular elastomers and others. Polyol sweeteners market is slated for a significant growth in the food and confectionery arena, obsessed by nutrition concerns, competitive pricing and establishment of new production facilities.

Mercy Ships Finds Savings With FuelSaver Technologies
Colorado Springs, Colorado (Vocus) September 25, 2008
Even as the general public is cutting back at the pump and looking for ways to save fuel and maintenance costs, Mercy Ships, which operates the world’s largest charity hospital ship, is no exception.
Skyrocketing diesel fuel prices and increased maintenance costs sent Mercy Ships marine engineering crew looking for answers as the charity relies on donations to bring life-saving healthcare toWest African nations.
For the past year, Mercy Ships has tested products by FuelSaver Technologies, Inc., headquartered in Colorado Springs, in an effort to maximize the hospital ship’s fuel efficiency. In turn, those funds may possibly be used to provide more free surgeries to patients in the Liberian port of Monrovia everywhere the ship’s surgeons and crew have docked since last February.
“So far, we’ve achieved a 3% improvement in fuel nation this past year and our engineers have noticed less carbon and soot buildup, resulting in less maintenance required,” stated Engineering Superintendent Michel Zandbergen.
The Africa Mercy has to fuel every three months to the tune of 220,000 US gallons, stated Zandbergen. Ordinarily this is done by bunkering by an ocean going tanker. So that’s amounted to roughly ,000 savings each time we re-fuel.
“All that means we can help more people.” he said.
FuelSaver’s CEO Rich Lieber clarifies how the fuel conditioner facility. “Our special conditioner enables more of each gallon of fuel to combust, it keeps injectors and combustion chambers clean and free of deposits. It also improves lubricity, fights algae growth and stabilizes both gasoline and diesel fuel in storage.”
For example, a fleet using 1 million gallons of diesel fuel per month at .50/gallon would achieve a net savings of approximately .7 million per year with only a 4 percent improvement in fuel nation. A variety of fuel conditioner products are available, including one to treat Bunker Fuel (heavy fuel oil), one to treat fuel in storage for long periods of time and a diesel fuel anti-gel winter blend.
FuelSaver Technologies was recently awarded a 5-year contract with General Services Administration (GSA) of the U.S. Federal Government to inspect, clean and repair Department of Defense bulk fuel tanks in numerous locations, to filter and treat the stored fuel and place the tanks back into service again.
Tiny 2oz bottles of conditioner to treat 100 gallons of gasoline or 50 gallons of diesel fuel are available for party consumers. FuelSaver’s Fuel Conditioner has been used to improve fuel nation an average of 8 to 12 percent in motorcycles, cars, trucks, buses, RVs, boats, and locomotives. All products may be bought securely over FuelSaver’s website at www.FuelSaverInc.com .
Mercy Ships was founded in 1978 by Don and Deyon Stephens and is the leader in using hospital ships to give up free world-class health care and community development services to the over and done poor. Over the past 30 years, Mercy Ships has worked in more than 70 countries providing services valued at more than 0 million, frankly impacting more than 1.9 million people. More than 850 crew worldwide representing more than 30 nations are joined each year by thousands of small-term volunteers. Professionals including surgeons, dentists, nurses, community developers, teachers, cooks, seamen, engineers and agriculturists donate their time and skills to the effort.
FuelSaver Technologies, Inc. is the premier distributor of a proprietary brand of fuel conditioners patented as DurAlt®, consisting primarily of a combustion modifier coupled with a polar compound. This unique amalgamation enables fuel to more fully combust, thus increasing fuel nation even as sinking air pollution. Headquartered in Colorado Springs, FuelSaver facility with party consumers as well as commercial/legislative fleets to help them reduce operating expenses even as humanizing air quality through reduced emissions. These products first came to market in the mid-1980′s. DurAlt® technology and other products are protected by 54 patents and trademarks worldwide.
