The attributes of process intensification are now accepted widely by industry and policy makers. Innovations in PIM require an inter-disciplinary research approach. The aim of the Symposium is to bring together industrialists and academics from various disciplines to create an environment of cross-fertilisation and review recent progress in the intensification of biological, chemical, environmental and energy conversion processes. The first international symposium on the science, engineering and technology of intensive processing was held at Nottingham University-UK, during 18- 20 September 1995. Selected papers from that symposium were published in a special topic issue of Chemical Engineering Research and Design (Vol.74, No A5, 1996) in order to provide the scientific bases of the PIM technology. The scope of the present PIM symposium reflects the enormous progress made since then. VENUE PIM-1 will be held in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom. Newcastle is the Capital of the Province of Northumberland and located at the North East Coast of England, with about 3 million inhabitants. Newcastle lies at the heart of the ancient kingdom of Northumbria, renowned for its glorious unspoilt countryside and rich heritage. Newcastle has a deserved reputation for being one of the friendliest and liveliest cities in Europe. It's vibrant and cosmopolitan, with much to offer people of all ages and backgrounds. In recent years it's been voted the 'best city in the UK to visit' and 'Party City of Europe'. The city is on the main London-Edinburgh train line, has its own international airport and links via North Shields Ferry Terminal to Scandinavia and The Netherlands. SCOPE Original and unpublished papers describing current research on Process Intensification and Miniaturisation from fundamental sciences to applied technologies are hereby solicited. General Process Intensification and Miniaturisation papers in biological, chemical, environmental and energy conversion are also welcome. Those pertaining to integration, modelling, control of intensified and miniaturised processes, novel equipment and miniaturised system fabrication are also appropriate. Some key areas of the PIM-1 include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Biotechnology * Enzymatic reactions * Biomedicine * Animal cell cultures * Biosensors * Microbial reactions * Bioremediation * Tissue engineering * Food processing * Plant-cell cultures * High pressure * Membranes/Catalytic membranes * Support architecture 2. Chemical Technology * Particle technology * Materials structuring * Separation processes * Microreactors * Carrier mediated separations * Supercritical fluids * Chemical reactions * Membrane processes * High pressure processing * Intensive mixing * Momentum, heat and mass transfer * Ionic liquids * Ultrasonic/electric field * Electrochemical tech. 3. Environmental Technology * Physicochemical remediation * Soil decontamination * Carrier mediation * Air pollution * Jet-loop reactors * Water treatment 4. Energy Conversion Technology * Gasification * Hydrogen energy * Pyrolysis * Microturbines * Fuel cells * Catalytic combustion * Biomass energy conversion * Biofuels 5. Integration, modeling and control of intensified and miniaturised processes 6. Novel equipment and miniaturised system fabrication LANGUAGE The language of both the Symposium and the published proceedings will be English. FORMAT The format of the PIM-1 will be arranged with the following major elements as general papers presented in oral sessions, keynote speakers by invited speakers and interactive poster presentations. There will be also industrial and book exhibitions, social events and tours. PUBLICATIONS Symposium Proceedings: Papers accepted for presentation will be published as the Symposium Proceedings, which will be available at the meeting. Papers (up to 8 pages) appearing in the proceedings will also be reviewed. Instructions for the preparation of the manuscripts will be provided after the acceptance of the abstract. Journal Publications: Authors can also submit their papers for publication in one of the four journals: *Biotechnology Advances (Ed. Prof. M. MooYoung) *International Journal of Transport Phenomena (Ed. Prof. P. Marto) *Journal of Membrane Science (Ed. Prof. W. Koros) *Exergy (Ed. Prof. I. Dincer) Individual editors who are also members of the Scientific Committee will handle the review process. ABSTRACT SUBMISSION Initial screening of the presentations will be based on the abstracts, which should be submitted as an e-mail attachment in MS-WORD format. Abstracts should be one page (A4 sized paper within 165x210 mm margins) typed in Times (12) font and should contain the following: Title of paper Name of author(s) Affiliations of the author(s) and full addresses. Telephone and fax numbers and e-mail address of the corresponding/presenting author. Description of the subject, objective, main findings, and conclusions.

However, the plant can be purchased complete or as individual components if you act IMMEDIATLEY. The minimum purchase price is USD$850,000, payable in US funds, or best offer over the minimum. Intellectual property and license may be sold with the plant or separately. The BIOTEN power plant is a third generation, modular system based on an aero-derivative turbine fueled with powdered wood burned in a pressurized combustion chamber. The present owners of the plant are selling the plant due to the lack of a Green Power Purchase Agreement. The plant and intellectual property represent over a $25 million investment. Main Equipment: · GE LM 1500 generator and power turbine modified from gas to Biomass fuel, model LM 1500 PB104.E417-120GE-E 1552335 · Power Turbine 7 LM 1500 PB 104 s/n 417-120 10 coupling corp. Turbine shaft, 400C high speed It will be the responsibility of the purchasing party to dismantle and move the power plant and equipment at the purchaser’s expense. All equipment subject to this sale must be removed from said property within 90 days of closure after sale or as negotiated with subsequent property owners. A double-layered polyethylene-covered greenhouse that was heated with waste heat from the power plant is also for sale. The greenhouse consists of nine bays each 16-foot wide by 152-foot long and five bays still unassembled. A backup wood fired boiler and all heating equipment is included with the greenhouse. With negotiation, it is possible to keep the greenhouse in its present location. The greenhouse is set up for hydroponic tomato production and all associated hydroponic equipment and the current crop of tomatoes can be purchased with the greenhouse. The greenhouse structure originally cost USD$200,000. For additional information and a complete listing of the equipment contact Phillip C. Badger, General Bioenergy, Inc., P.O.
