Abstract: A sustainable method and a system for cleaning impurities, mainly hydrogen sulphide, and upgrading of biogas having hydrogen sulphide concentration up to 2% (20,000 ppmv), preferably produced in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to biomethane. The system includes a counter-current, non-pressurized physical absorption bubble column having a high influent liquid-to-gas flow ratio LI/G higher than 1 and preferably equal or higher than 3 and equal or lower than 10, for achieving a simultaneous removal of hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide. The system may be inserted for instance on an existing wastewater treatment plant, in such a way that the wash water is the primary treated wastewater of the plant, and preferably the biogas to be upgraded is produced in the anaerobic digesters of the plant itself, and also includes means for regenerating the used wash water by the biological reactor of the plant itself used for the secondary treatment.

Abstract: A workbench and an assistance method for manufacturing or checking electrical wiring harnesses. The workbench comprises: an assembly board; image projection devices on the assembly board; optical sensors arranged on the assembly board to provide information about its position; cameras arranged to capture gestures of the technician in charge of the workbench; a computer with a set of computer programs adapted to provide, through the image projection devices images in 1:1 scale of templates of the electrical wiring harness being manufactured or checked projected onto the assembly board and, superimposed on them, complementary images of aid requested by the technician, acting on virtual menus and/or buttons projected onto the assembly board.

Abstract: Nucleic acid sequences are provided which in an embodiment provide a primer pair. The primers are capable of amplifying a nucleic acid molecule that indicates the presence of a propane-oxidizing and/or butane-oxidizing microorganism. A method is provided which employs such primers in a process that indicates the presence of such organisms. The method is useful in detecting the presence of petroleum-like products.
