Techno-economic and environmental assessment of gas turbines utilizing biofuels
Get PDFThe continued global reliance on fossil fuels with impact on resource depletion, human health, atmospheric pollution and environmental degradation has necessitated a global drive to integrate renewable fuels such as biodiesels. Biodiesels are described as “fuels composed of fatty acid methyl or ethyl esters and obtained from vegetable oils or animal fats”. Their use in energy generation could diversify the world’s energy mix, reduce fossil fuel dependence, reduce emissions and energy cost to bring about other economic benefits, especially for developing economies and rural communities with lack of adequate access to modern energy. A techno-economic and environmental life cycle assessment is however required to ensure that these fuels are fit for use in engines and meet any regulatory standard and sustainability criteria. This thesis has evaluated the use of Jatropha- and microalgae-biodiesel for power generation in two industrial gas turbines with open and combined cycle configuration. This was achieved using a techno-economic and environmental life cycle impact assessment framework. Comparative fuel assessments have been carried out between biodiesels and fossil fuels. Furthermore, the concept of microbial fuel degradation was examined in gas turbines. The thesis have identified Jatropha biodiesel as a worthwhile substitute for conventional diesel fuel, because it has close performance and emission characteristics to conventional diesel fuel with added advantage of being renewable. The consequent displacement of conventional diesel fuel with Jatropha biodiesel has significant environmental benefits. For economic viability and sustainability of gas turbine operated power plants, energy producers require a minimum monetary amount to recover the added cost of operating 100% Jatropha biodiesel. Other integration mechanisms are also available for utilizing the fuel in engines without compromising on plant’s economic performance. In worst case scenarios, where there are no government incentives, local conditions such as high life cycle cost of electricity, open opportunities for distributed and independent power generation from renewable fuels like Jatropha-biodiesel. Furthermore, this thesis has identified salient energy conversion processes that occur in gas turbine fuels, especially with biodiesels and developed a bio-mathematical model, Bio-fAEG to simulate these processes in gas turbines. This platform is a first step in quantifiable assessment and could enable a better understanding of microbial initiated processes

Wheels set in motion for LCI
By TRISII BRAYNE ol The Herald
Questions like: "! wonder what happened to so and so", will be answered, often in person at the l-ethbridge Collegiate Institute's school reunion July 17. 18 and 19
The reunion, open to 1.600 ex-students who attended LCI in 1971,1972,1973 and 1974. is expected to draw about 750.
"You don’t have to hav c been a graduate to attend the reunion." said Barbara Cole tr.ee Riehl) who. along with former classmate Madeline Balia (nee Ray).
formed the core committee to set reunion wheels in motion.
Invitations were mailed out before Christmas and responses arc gathering momentum.
Former students have been tracked down far from Lcthbndge and may consider a July vacation here from places like Guatemala. New Zealand. Nicuar gua and Australia.
Cole says one of the most positive aspects of a school reunion is thechar.cc to keep in touch with former friends.
"You find out what happened to them. Even people living in tow n don’t realize
who also lives in the same street." Cole said
Twenty Lethbridge businessmen, all reunion chgiolcs. have pitched sn to donate funds for advertising and initial expenses. They’ll be acknowledged in a reunion display bulletin and in a special commemorative book.
Events, to be held at the Exhibition Pavilion, during reunion week include a social July 17.
July 18sees a tour of LCI. The reunion registration form reads: (talk about Future Shock!).

THIS IS THE GET - TOGETHER WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR
SO WHOSE IDEA WAS THIS ANYWAY?
Everyone has been asking if it was worth all the work we put in. It certainly was worth attending a few (dozen) meetings and juggling some schedules to rekindle the old friendships from way hack when, and especially to get to know so many friends who were probably right under our noses in school, if wed only been looking. Jane Solvey said it the very best, “Its just like Christmas, you wait, then you blink and it's over!” Even the meetings were just like Christmas — we never knew what to expect, who would be there, what laughs were awaiting us, and there were many. Colly Arscne said she wouldn’t have missed it for the world, and that’s the way I felt.
That weekend, the only thing missing were some of the faces, and you could hear from every corner, “have you seen so-and-so? I hope they come.” If we succeed in compiling a Book that will be too good to put down, they'll come to the next one (I can’t believe I said that.)
So whose idea was this anyway? It was in the backs of the minds of everyone who ever attended LCI. All we did was set a goal and work towards it. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world either. See you all in a few years.
— Barb (Riehl) Cole
LETTER
FROM THE EDITOR
Putting together this book after such a successful reunion was the icing on the cake for me. I hope all those who patiently awaited its arrival will feel the same. Each turn of the page is like reliving the weekend.
Due to limited space, some pictures received after October 15th were not included. Also, some of the mug shots taken at the reunion were under or overexposed. This was not the fault of our printer.
After seeing the candid shots in color, it was nearly impossible to minimize their effect by printing them in black and white. Fortunately, we had the funds to consider printing color sections, due to refreshment sales on Friday night.
If you thought the weekend was fun, then you can appreciate how much we enjoyed it for a whole year.
— Gail (Paskuski) Gibb
There is little I can say that would add to our reunion. It was great! If you were there, well, you already know how much fun it was. If you weren’t able to make it, we sure missed you. but to help alleviate your loss, here are some great pictures!
We had hundreds of photos taken and were limited as to how many we could use, so here’s hoping you approve of our choices.
It was great. Let’s do it again sometime!
— Jane Solvey

“I'm looking forward to attending the reunion organize the event.” • Jim Nolan (72)
“1 wish this reunion could have been either last summer or next. I’d love to be able to be there.” - Jan (Erickson) Mason (sorry, can’t please everybody)Rev. Kert Weds, with grace:
The Lord our God, author of all creation, we give you thanks for this gathering tonight, for the opportunity to come together in fellowship, to renew old acquaintances, and to meet new friends. We thank you for all the blessings that the last 15 or so years since graduating from High School, and we lift up the hard times that might have been, that we might see your working through them, and we remember before you, all those who cannot be here tonight, especially those who have passed away. As we gather tonight, they are all present with us in our hearts, and in our memories of years past. And now, we pray that you might bless this food to our use, and us to your service. Amen.

Are those two still out there???!!
Friday night • The Exhibition was buzzing with anticipation. The Photographer and the kids at registration areas were ready, the decorations were superb, Sam the Ram roamed around the room, everything was as ready as it could be. When people started streaming in the “magic" began. There was a chorus of “1-ook who’s here". “What have you been doing with yourself." “Its great to see you again", and all the planning paid off. Hut the real “magic" happened on the dance floor when the first few bars of Pink Floyds “Smoke on the Water" rose above the general hum of visiting voices, and everybody started cheering . . . we were with the people, listening to the music, reliving the old memories.Cindy (Cann) Huculak was talked into wearing the costume but swore us to secrecy because she’s tried to lose that image since the days of pep rallies. Half way through Friday night there was Cindy, still in costume minus the Ram’s head, sharing a beer with some old friends, caught up in the spirit. .So much for that “image". It just wouldn’t have been the same without Sam the Ram."It would have been fun to see everyone again, though I'll lie there in spirit. . . along with everyone else with their spirits. Have a good time.”

"I hope the reunion is a success. It sounded like a great idea when I first heard about it. It would be great to see old classmates again, and to re-establish communication with them ... I would like to get a copy of the Book (to see what a great time I missed and to hopefully have a source from which I can locate former friends and classmates).” • Richard QuonGreetings & best wishes” lion Fazio (Jakarta, Indonesia)

"George Virtue, C.A. and partner at Young, Parkyn McNab, married io Carole Ann (Lastuka), with two boys. An avid skier, interested in game bird hunting, fly fishing, golf, windsurfing and onology. For those of you who have been gone from Lethbridge to too long, that’s the study of the wind, and we are pretty good at that around here.”
— Madeline Balia
For those of you who weren’t here Friday night, it was indeed a good time, and carried on until about 1:30 but that wasn’t quite enough, because there were various contingencies throughout the City afterwards. I fulfilled my duty and went to the Cadillac. There was some more action over at the Wild Rose, and of course a party at Jake’s.
For the person who came the farthest to attend the reunion, and we’ll assume that she just came to see us; Debbie (Hansen) Oddershede, all the way from somewhere in Denmark. We have a flight bag to take back your smuggled goods.
We also have an unusual award, one that was certainly well-deserved, for the most paid registrations. We only had one individual who actually registered twice, filled out all the information twice, even sent in his money twice — a refund for Keith Seeley.
As you may remember, there was a discount deadline, so if you registered by midnight April 1st, you received a substantial discount. The very last registration, to the minute, receives 4 Taco Time vouchers and the good thing about those is there is no expiry date, so they don’t have to worry about when they get there. Phil and Sherri Gerlock had the last registration before the discount deadline, and because it’s the I.Cl SPOTLITE REUNION, they promptly delivered their registration form at 1.1:30 p.m. to SPOTLITE ESSO. The gas station attendant was thrilled to receive it.
George Virtue reprinted from The Herald, July 18
George Virtue, n Lethbridge chartered accountant, is one of the organizers of the Lethbridge Collegiate Institute reunion here. July 17 • 19.
How did you get involved in this project? Unbeknownst to me, at first. Barb Cole phoned me to look up speakers for the reunion, then asked me to come to a meeting. Then I found they’d put me down as emcee.
When ore you doing the emcee duties? Both the Friday and Saturday nights. On Friday, I'll just tell them a few stories, share a few memories. Then Saturday, I'll be emceeing the formal part of the program, and introducing the speakers.
Who do you have lined up as speakers? We have “Uncle” Ab Paskuski.
I le used to be our vice-principal and he was a great fritnd of the students^HeH' lie relating some of his stories from those days. It should be quite a hoot. Then well also have Madeline Balia reading some of the comments people have written in. when they registered. There are some really hilarious ones.
How many people do you expect? It's for all the grads from 1971 to 197-1, and already 560 people have signed up. including spouses. We anticipate it will be 650 to 700.
What are some of the other activities? On Sunday, there’s a picnic for all the families, at Indian Battle Park. On Friday night, we'll be making presentations for achievements, like having the most kids or travelling the furthest — we have one girl bringing her family nil the way from Denmark. Then we'll also have some fun contests, like with beer caps.
Are most of the people still living in Southern Alberta? No. they’re now literally all over the world. We’ve had some replies from people who can’t come, who are now in Africa, in Europe, and all over North America.
What have been your biggest surprises so fur? It’s the response we've had — we’ve got 50 per cent more people than we had expected — and the amazing things that some of the people are doing now.
Is it too late for LCl grads to get involved now? No. we're still accepting applications. I think we'll do it probably right up to the Friday night. We’d encourage people to get in touch with .Jane Solvcy, 329-0172, if they haven’t registered yet.
