Latest Advances in NFPA Compliant Material Handling
Dane Floyd, Principal, Biomass Engineering & Equipment
BE&E has experienced tremendous organizational and project growth in the past two years. This presentation focuses on the latest developments in dust tight, efficient, safe and NFPA compliant material handling systems. Everyone is short on laborers so it is ever more important to reduce the manpower required for cleanup and maintenance. The presentation will demonstrate how a mill can achieve those goals while also reducing power demands, creating a multi-level payback.
Biomass Power in Arizona
Brad Worsley, President, Novo Power
Brad Worsley is president of Novo Power, the only industrial scale biomass facility in Arizona and one of the most successful such facilities in the United States. As the facility has progressed to a high output status, it has become the keystone of restoration efforts on nearly 4 million acres of national forestland in Arizona. Novo Power stands on the edge of opportunity as the U.S. Forest Service has recently announced plans to increase efforts in restoration as part of the Four Forests Restoration Initiative (4FRI), committing to increase restoration efforts by three to four times historic rates. Worsley comments, “We need to see more utilization of these underutilized assets to attack two of the greatest natural resource issues we now face—fire and water.”
