Geothermal district heating system feasibility analysis, Thermopolis, Wyoming

The purpose of this study is to determine the technical and economic feasibility of constructing and operating a district heating system to serve the residential, commercial, and public sectors in Thermopolis. The project geothermal resource assessment, based on reviews of existing information and data, indicated that substantial hot water resources likely exist in the Rose Dome region 10 miles northeast of Thermopolis, and with quantities capable of supporting the proposed geothermal uses. Preliminary engineering designs were developed to serve the space heating and hot water heating demands for buildings in the Thermopolis-East Thermopolis town service area. The heating district design is based on indirect geothermal heat supply and includes production wells, transmission lines, heat exchanger units, and the closed loop distribution and collection system necessary to serve the individual customers. Three options are presented for disposal of the cooled waters-reinjection, river disposal, and agricultural reuse. The preliminary engineering effort indicates the proposed system is technically feasible. The design is sized to serve 1545 residences, 190 businesses, and 24 public buildings. The peak design meets a demand of 128.2 million Btu at production rates of 6400 gpm

Pore-scale capillary pressure analysis using multi-scale X-ray micromotography

A multi-scale synchrotron-based X-ray microtomographic dataset of residually trapped air after gravity-driven brine imbibition was acquired for three samples with differing pore topologies and morphologies; image volumes were reconstructed with voxel sizes from 4.44 µm down to 0.64 µm. Capillary pressure distributions among the population of trapped ganglia were investigated by calculating interfacial curvature in order to assess the potential for remobilization of residually-trapped non-wetting ganglia due to differences in capillary pressure presented by neighbor ganglia. For each sample, sintered glass beads, Boise sandstone and Fontainebleau sandstone, sub-volumes with different voxel sizes were analyzed to quantify air/brine interfaces and interfacial curvatures and investigate the effect of image resolution on both fluid phase identification and curvature estimates. Results show that the method developed for interfacial curvature estimation leads to reliable capillary pressure estimates for gas ganglia. Higher resolution images increase confidence in curvature calculations, especially for the sandstone samples that display smaller gas-brine interfaces which are then represented by a higher number of voxels when imaged with a micron or sub-micron voxels size. The analysis of sub-volumes from the Boise and Fontainebleau dataset highlights the presence of a residually-trapped gas phase consisting of ganglia located in one or few pores and presenting significantly different capillary pressures, especially in the case of Fontainebleau sandstone. As a result, Ostwald ripening could occur, leading to gas transfer from ganglia with higher capillary pressure to surrounding ganglia with lower capillary pressures. More generally, at the pore-scale, most gas ganglia do present similar capillary pressures and Ostwald ripening would then not represent a major mechanism for residually-trapped gas transfer and remobilization

Detection and uptake of cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg) in Ipomoea aquatica Forsk. (Water Spinach) in open canal road, Imus, Cavite

In the Philippines, anthropogenic activities continue to pollute water and landforms. To resolve this, plants have been found to have abilities in extracting and distributing heavy metals to its organs. Ipomoea aquatica Forsk. (water spinach), a semi-aquatic vascular plant has shown potential in the phytoextraction of various heavy metals. This study aims to determine heavy metals present in the soil samples of Open Canal Road, Imus, Cavite; to identify certain heavy metals absorbed by the I. aquatica Forsk. (water spinach); and to determine if the heavy metal concentrations in the soil and plant samples are within permissible levels set by the World Health Organization (WHO). The research procedure included plant identification, water spinach and soil sample preparation, soil analysis, metal analysis using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) and Cold Vapor Technique (CVT), data gathering, and interpretation. From the analysis, high levels of lead were detected from the soil, 18.37 ppm; 4.42 ppm in leaves, 4.25 ppm in stems, and 4.33 ppm in roots of I. aquatica Forsk. (water spinach) samples. Mercury was detected with values of 0.03 ppm in the soil and throughout the plant organs. Cadmium and chromium were not detectable with values less than 0.01 ppm and 0.03 ppm, respectively. In comparison to the set standards of WHO, the levels of heavy metals in the soil and plant were considerably normal. Meanwhile, the amount of lead in the plant organs (roots, stems, leaves) is twice the acceptable level of 2.0 ppm; mercury levels exceeded the standard by 0.01 ppm. Nonetheless, its ability to be a phytoremediating agent for Lead and minimal amounts of Mercury for the canal is still feasible since it is able to translocate significant amounts of heavy metals throughout its plant organs
