Discover how the use of aluminum in CSP support systems is revolutionizing the solar power industry; making solar power a more efficient and affordable energy source.

Solar power is rapidly emerging as a popular source of sustainable energy. There have been major advances in the solar power industry that, when coupled with increasing fossil fuel costs and concern about climate change, combine to make a powerful argument for the use of solar power as a viable energy source.

One of the biggest technological advances is the recent use of aluminum as an alternative to steel in concentrated solar power (CSP) support systems. The benefits of aluminum range from higher optical efficiency to reduced ecosystem disruption.

It is a simple fact: Better lubrication can lead to dramatic energy savings and an improved bottom line. This ought to interest any plant manager who is looking for ways to reduce operating costs, and is especially significant at a time when stricter government regulations are in direct contradiction to reducing costs. Lubrication reliability is the solution. This paper will describe how manufacturing plants can use lubrication reliability best practices to reduce their energy consumption, emissions and operating costs – all at the same time.

One of the main challenges found in incorporating biodiesel into the nation’s motor-fuel pool is one of transportation. Since most biodiesel is produced in relatively remote areas, the most common shipping methods for biodiesel are railcar and transport truck. Blackmer® sliding vane pumps have been proven to be the most efficient, reliable and environmentally safe options for transporting biodiesel.
