CO2 purification involves potentially separating out Nox and Sox . the first step in CO2 reduction is likely to be additional removal of Nox and Sox.  This may follow the existing devices to remove Nox and Sox. So the CO2 purification in this case only refers to removal from the compressed gas after the nitrogen has been removed. Mcilvaine selected CO2 purification instead of CO2 scrubbing to make this distinction. But unless one has the benefit of the   UPIS identifier,  full clarity is not achieved.

(3)  There is a lack of clarity in classifying terms in English which is magnified with translation into Chinese

The UPIS system is based on creating a foster family from genetic lineages. These genetic lineages  will provide the words and relationships that will make the translation much more precise and valuable.

The following is a genetic lineage of absorbers for power plant FGD

These genetic lineages will be subject to review and change based on input from  associations, users and suppliers who have insights. .  Mcilvaine chose “sump scrubber” even though it is not commonly used because the distinguishing feature is a pool of slurry through which the gas must pass. But both Alstom and Chiyoda use the word “bubbling bed”.  Our problem with this term is that the tray scrubber and moving bed scrubber are also bubbling beds.  Should CDS be the base term for circulating dry scrubbers and fluid beds or should it be an alias?

We have labeled the double contact absorber as just a “costumed” spray tower and not a separate category.  We need some input from MHI,  Advatech  and others on this subject. In general Mcilvaine will change the classification terminology to reflect the general consensus..

The solution

Mcilvaine is utilizing the UPIS system to create a unique new type of Chinese –English dictionary. It is focused on narrow technologies and therefore can be made comprehensive. It will use the UPIS identifiers to provide the context. It will use genetic lineages to standardize on the best word selections

Here is an example of how the system works

The dictionary will be steadily evolving and will use terms which are included in UPIS. It is anticipated that there will be substantial contributions from users and experts in the various technologies.  Please contact Bob Mcilvaine at rmcilvaine@mcilvainecompany.com with your comments.
