PETERSBURG LIGHT INDUSTRY DEVELOPING DYNAMICALLY

PETERSBURG LIGHT INDUSTRY developing dynamically

In the first ten months of this year, industrial production in the northern capital increased by 14.3%, with growth seen in almost all the sectors. These figures in the quarterly report submitted territorial body of the Federal State Statistics Service in Saint-Petersburg and Leningrad region.

The best performance - in the field of light industry to the nine months of last year, the volume of textile and clothing production has increased 1.6 times, and the skin (products from) and footwear - by 2.5 times. Growth of 46% was recorded in the field of electronic and optical instrumentation, 23% - in the steel industry, a 22% increase in the production of vehicles and equipment, etc.

In the underdogs hit the chemical industry, to reduce production by more than 10%, a 3.4% drop was recorded and food producers (including beverages and tobacco).

RELEASED FIRST TEXTILES WITH CONSTANT GOLD COATING

Released first TEXTILES WITH CONSTANT gold coating

Swiss technology received the world#39;s first textile fibers and fabrics with 24-carat gold-plated, soft and durable, not afraid of washing and mechanical stress. From this tissue innovators produced batch of luxury accessories.

Experts from the Swiss Federal Laboratory of Materials Science and Technology (EMPA) have developed a technique applied to the polyester fiber is very thin (of the order of 1 nm) coating of gold.

To this end, scientists have used the plasma chamber, wherein the high speed ion flux from the knock piece of gold atoms. These atoms land on the fiber is slowly pulled through the camera, and firmly fixed on it.

Gold remains on the fiber even during the post-processing: no bending or passage through the loom or the final rinse not violate the integrity of the coating.

Further processing of the fiber produced by industrial partners of the Institute - companies Weisbrod-Zürrer and Jakob Schlaepfer. They get out of sparkling fabric and yarns produce finished products. As long as it ties and handkerchiefs, but can be much larger list of products that would suit a `gold` textiles.

Previous attempts to create a gold tie relied on simpler technology, says Gizmag. Scientists finest gold wires coiled around any fiber.

Alas, the fabric of these strands is rough, metal to the touch, and even the stuff was very fragile. Because ties could have done with only the front part of the gold, but the node and the site is wrapped around the neck, remained normal.

But the ties made by a new technique, are not afraid of the washing machine, the coating on them is not erased by mechanical action. And to the touch, these ties, crafted by the way of material combining gilt thread with a simple silk - very soft.

While the Swiss were gold material in a quantity sufficient for just a few accessories. But at Christmas stock enlarged by a dozen ties, according to a press release of the Institute.

On the market the first exclusive series of products from new fabric will bring the company Hofmann Co. Each tie that contains 8 grams of pure gold, valued at $ 8530.

Company Weisbrod-Zürrer also intends to sell neckties and bow ties and scarves from the gold material, and Jakob Schlaepfer uses individual gold thread in their products collection 2012-2013.

Experts EMPA got the first kilometer unusual yarn last summer, and next year they plan to increase the production. Scientists note that the maximum load plasma system they will be able to produce fiber, enough to produce a maximum of 600 ties per year, but in reality this number is likely to be much smaller.

This writes Kommersant-Ukraine in the publication `area #39;of attention.

Already this year, Ukraine will begin negotiations on a free trade area (FTA) with Turkey. Said yesterday the Ukrainian Ambassador to Turkey Sergey Korsun. According to the diplomat, the first round will be held in December, and the whole negotiation process can take up to two years. `Some products require a special approach. In particular - agricultural products, metals, fertilizers `, - said Mr.

Korsun.

According to a source publication in the Ministry of Economy, the final decision on this issue was influenced by the fact that Ukraine has a positive balance of bilateral trade with Turkey.

According to the Ukrainian Embassy in Turkey, the main items of Ukrainian exports are metal, coal and fertilizer, while in Turkey imported textiles, engineering products, household chemicals, and agricultural products.

Earlier, the government stated that the creation of an FTA with Turkey will have a few years to increase the bilateral trade to $ 10 billion, and by 2020 reach a level of $ 20 billion
Manufacturers continue to evaluate the feasibility of such a controversial liberalization. #39;Given the fact that Turkey is highly developed light industry, free trade area - a very big threat to us. Moreover, it is difficult to say who will win from it, except the steel industry, which will facilitate access to the Turkish market. Other branches are simply offered to suffer for the sake of Ukraine `- said the chairman of the Ukrainian Association of Light Industry Ukrlegprom Valentine Izovit.

IN SOCHI MICROTURBINE REPLACED PISTON INSTALLATION

In Sochi microturbine REPLACED piston installation

Supply, installation supervision, commissioning of equipment and training of personnel carried the company `` BPC Engineering.

It is noteworthy that the modernization project involves not only increase the capacity of existing power plants, but also the replacement of the three existing gas engine plants - two 500 kVA and 750 kVA one - on microturbine. This decision was made by the company in connection with the operation of the high cost and complexity of the service and available gazoporshnevogo equipment.

Capstone microturbines comparison with piston units showed that they are more cost-effective and easy maintenance due to lack of oil, liquid cooling, a small amount of consumables and routine parts. Service intervals are at microturbines 8000 hours - this about a year of continuous operation. Replacement piston units at the microturbine will reduce customer service costs power of 3-4.

Simple maintenance work will be carried out by specialists of the SEC #39;New Age#39;.

Fully automatic operation for energy generation eliminates the need for continuous staff presence at the facility. An updated plant will operate in three-generation by incorporating into its structure 4 heat exchanger capacity of 1.2 MW each, gas boilers with a total capacity of 5 MW and two absorption-refrigeration machines with total capacity of 5 MW. As a result, the total energy center efficiency can reach 90%.

All this will provide a low cost of its own electricity, which is estimated will be only 1.5-1.75 rub. per kilowatt-hour, which is more than 2 times lower than existing network tariffs in the Krasnodar region. In this case, heat and cold customer gets virtually free.

Another important argument in favor of choosing Capstone microturbines was their resilience to stress, since the consumption of electricity at the facility at night is reduced by 80%. Microturbine profile monitors consumption and a stable operation at full power and at very small loads up to 1% of the power. Even at low loads is ensured optimum fuel consumption without reducing the service life of the equipment as opposed to the gas-piston machines whose operation at loads below 50%, it becomes extremely unreliable and expensive, and often even impossible.

Environmental performance of microturbines, the level at which the emissions of CO and NOx shall not exceed 9 ppm, and a low level of noise allowed to observe all of the most stringent environmental standards and place a micro-turbines in the resort town.

According to the customer#39;s complete independence from the central electrical communications provides high reliability and continuity of supply of the object, which in turn ensures comfort for visitors and tenants. Currently C1000 Capstone microturbine plant completely covers the energy needs of the shopping center area of about 40,000 square meters. m, which includes about 100 stores, cafes and restaurants, a modern bowling alley and movie theaters, parking for 300 cars, ATMs, banks and a supermarket. Natural gas-fired plants have been dismantled.

Construction of shopping mall #39;New Age#39; is continuing and the area will be expanded to 160,000 square meters. m In this regard, in the third quarter of this year, provided the launch of three more C1000 Capstone microturbine installations with a total capacity of 3 MW. The high degree of prefabrication of microturbines and easy installation allows to quickly connect additional units to the existing power plant. The lack of vibration during operation of microturbines will place equipment in a limited area on two floors, which will reduce the area of micro-turbines for energy generation by half compared with a gas piston power plant of similar capacity.

In total, the project of modernization and development of the power plant involves the installation of four Capstone C1000 microturbine units with a total capacity of 4 MW.
