Aseptic processing enters a new phase
Article Abstract:
A multi-phasic aseptic food process originally developed as a case study for an university-government workshop in 1995 has complied with FDA requirements. However, the US food processing industry have not, as yet, taken advantage of it, and opted instead to take a wait-and-see attitude. Yet this technology is promising especially for the commercial markets. It appears that although the industry has long possessed the capability to pump, heat, cool and package two-phase products, it is confronted with the challenge of documenting a safe process which yields high product integrity.

New clean-up technologies target flue gases
Article Abstract:
Several companies are bringing new technologies involving gas reburning to minimize nitrogen oxide emissions from coal-fueled plants. Energy Systems Associates and the Gas Research Institute collaborated to come up with a new system, called Fuel Lean Gas Reburn, which will inject natural gas into the surface to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by 35% to 45%. Another technology is being developed by Tampa Electric Co to lessen sulfur dioxide from flue gases.

New fuels aim to put AFVs into high gear
Article Abstract:
New fuel developments could boost the prospects of alternative fuel vehicles. Cambridge, MA-based Epyx, for example is developing a multi-fuel processor that converts carbon-based fuels into hydrogen to power fuel cells. Another is Pure Energy Corp's bio-mass chemical production technology. Other promising developments are a catalytic process that converts levulinic acid into methyltetrahydrofuran and a new method for producing synthetic diesel fuel.
