Composite High-Pressure Tanks for CNG and Hydrogen (H₂)

Composite High-Pressure Tanks for CNG  and Hydrogen (H₂)

Abstract

A high-pressure gas storage tank made from composite materials, including carbon fiber, resin, and plastic, is designed for storing compressed natural gas (CNG) or hydrogen. This type of tank is classified as a Type IV high-pressure vessel. In this research, it is designed to operate at a pressure of 250 bar for the transportation of compressed natural gas.

Objective

การบรรจุก๊าซที่ความดันสูงต้องใช้บรรจุภัณฑ์​ที่มีความแข็งแรง​ การใช้ถังที่ผลิตจากโลหะถูกนำมาใช้ในช่วงแรกๆ​ แต่ปัญหาที่ตามมาคือน้ำหนักมากทำให้สิ้นเปลืองเชื้อเพลิงในกรณีที่นำไปติดตั้งบนยานพาหนะ​ จึงเกิดการพัฒนาถังความดันที่พัฒนาจากวัสดุประกอบขึ้นซึ่งจะช่วยลดน้ำหนักของบรรจุภัณฑ์​และการกัดกร่อนเกิดขึ้นน้อย

Co-fermentation of lactic acid bacteria and Saccharomyces cerevisiae to produce sour beer

This study aims to investigate the co-fermentation process between lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the production of sour beer, with a focus on its impact on product quality, including pH, organic acid content, sugar content, and sensory characteristics. In this experiment, selected LAB strains and S. cerevisiae were utilized under controlled fermentation conditions. The microbial ratio was optimized to enhance growth and the production of key compounds. The findings indicate that co-fermentation significantly reduces pH compared to fermentation with yeast alone. Furthermore, an increase in lactic acid was observed due to sugar consumption by LAB, contributing to the distinctive flavor profile of sour beer.

Fire retardant

The purpose of this invention is to develop a forest fire prevention agent that has the ability to prevent long-term forest fires, not only to suppress forest fires or prevent forest fires from spreading widely, but to prevent them from starting to catch fire from the beginning. It can prevent forest fires comprehensively and can be prevented for a long time during the peak forest fire period or the dry season, which is about 3-4 months. There are no residues or minimal residues without causing harm to the surrounding environment under the specified standards. Emphasis is placed on the use of raw materials, equipment, and chemicals that can be easily found in Thailand. This includes using the value of production costs as low as possible. This makes it suitable for use in large quantities for spraying and protecting forest areas in forest areas that are prone to fire. Estimated average for pollution caused by forest fires include particulate matter (PM), including PM2.5, PM10, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide, Nitrogendioxide, VOC etc.
