  • Publication number: 20190071282
    Abstract: A supporting belt for an elevator installation has at least one elongate load-bearing element, a casing surrounding the load-bearing element and multiple sensors. The sensors are arranged on the belt at multiple positions spaced apart from one another along a longitudinal direction of the belt. The sensors each determine at least one physical characteristic of the load-bearing element in a region locally adjacent to the respective sensor and output a signal indicating the physical characteristic. For example, a sensor may determine a local expansion, a local bending, a local acceleration, a locally acting force, a local temperature and/or an electrical conductivity at, in or through the belt. The state of the belt can thereby be determined not only as an average for the entire belt but with regard to multiple positions along the length of the belt, enabling an improved determination regarding discard criteria of the belt.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and a process of producing ammonia from methane extracted from methane-hydrate at the site of methane-hydrate extraction. The method and the process comprise coupled chemical reactions. During the first reaction, carbon dioxide reacts methane-hydrate to produce carbon-dioxide-hydrate and methane: carbon dioxide+methane-hydrate?carbon-dioxide-hydrate+methane (CO2+CH4-hydrate?CO2-hydrate+CH4). The produced methane is reacted with water to produced carbon dioxide and hydrogen via the second reaction: methane+water?carbon dioxide+hydrogen (CH4+2H2O?CO2+4H2). One embodiment of the second reaction is a combination of the methane steam reforming reaction (CH4+H2O?CO+3H2) and the water-gas shift reaction (CO+H2O?CO2+H2), both are widely known in the art. The carbon dioxide produced in the second reaction is recycled and used for the first reaction.
