Ecker Dam. The Ecker Dam () is a gravity dam in the Harz mountain range near Bad Harzburg, Germany. Constructed between 1939 and 1943, it is today operated by the Harzwasserwerke company. The dam's reservoir impounds the waters of the Ecker river and mainly serves for drinking water supply.

Operation 

The dam is used for the supply of drinking water, flood protection, and raising water levels during times of low rainfall. With an average discharge of 16 million m³ per year, it provides drinking water to the cities of Brunswick, Wolfenbüttel, and Wolfsburg. A pipe system leads to a central water tower near Liebenburg, where the waters of the nearby Grane Dam are also collected.

Electricity generation is also provided through a small hydropower plant, operated by two turbines with an installed capacity of 2 x 300 kW and an annual generation of 1,400,000 kWh.

Construction 
The Ecker Dam was the third modern reservoir built in the Harz mountains, after the construction of the Söse Dam in 1928–1931 and the Oder Dam in 1930–1933. It was laid out in the Ecker catchment area at the foot of the Brocken massif, characterised by extended upland bogs and heavy precipitation of up to  a year. The reservoir uses a section of the river valley which, below a prominent trough end, was dug out in the shape of a basin by an ice age glacier.

Construction started in 1939, mainly to meet the increasing demand for drinking water in the Brunswick greater area and around the recently opened Wolfsburg Volkswagen Plant. For the first time in Germany, coarse-grained concrete (Rüttelgrobbeton) with an aggregate of up to 300 mm grain size was used to build the gravity structure. Works continued throughout World War II, when the Nazi authorities also deployed foreign workers (Fremdarbeiter) and POWs to complete the facilities.

After the war and the division into East and West Germany from 1949, the inner German Border ran straight through the site. The Border Troops of the German Democratic Republic had walls and barbed wire mounted on the dam crest and only about two-thirds of the facilities were accessible from the west. Access rights to operate the facilities were settled by bilateral agreements in the late 1970s.

Tourism 
Though not accessible by car, the Ecker Dam and the circular trail around its reservoir are popular destinations for daytrippers. The dam wall is checkpoint no. 1 in the Harzer Wandernadel hiking trail network.

Viscotherm. Viscotherms  is a general name used to describe equipment for control of viscosity and temperature of a fluid, in particular of fuel oil in fuel viscosity control systems. The term originated from a brand name Viscotherm registered by VAF Instruments in 1971 and produced until 2009.

The first viscotherm used a measuring capillary and a small pump being fitted throughout the piping of the fluid flow system. The pump produced a constant pressure to force the measured liquid through the capillary. The viscosity was then determined by taking pressure readings a certain points off the capillary. The value of viscosity was then transferred to a PID controller to regulate the temperature of the fuel. This device allowed to measure the real time changes of viscosity and was heavily used in the maritime industry to optimize the combustion of the fuel oil in diesel engines.

After a fire at VAF’s premises in 2009 the Viscotherm was declared obsolete. It was replaced by the Viscosense, a new generation viscometer based on rotational vibrations of a pendulum in a liquid. However, VAF made sure that an easy to install retrofit for the Viscotherm, combining an identical shaped house and the Viscosense sensor, is available.

Slingsby T.53. The Slingsby T.53 was the first all-metal sailplane designed and built in the United Kingdom. It was designed and built by Slingsby Sailplanes for evaluation by the Royal Air Force.

Design and development
In the early 1960s the RAF issued a requirement to replace the current wooden gliders used by the Air Training Corps with a new tandem two-seater. Slingsby took the opportunity to design a new glider that would meet the needs of the ATC and could be used by civil gliding clubs. Slingsby decided to make the glider in metal, which would make it more marketable in areas like the United States and Australia where the traditional wooden gliders did not sell well. The glider would also be lighter and the labour costs would be less, although the cost of tooling would be higher. To gain experience the company purchased a kit of the Schweizer 2-22, which was then constructed to learn the techniques applicable to metal gliders.

The construction of the prototype was started in June 1966, with the first flight on 9 March 1967 at Wombleton. The T.53 is constructed using a conventional light alloy flush-riveted design. To ensure the rear occupant is forward of the wing leading edge, the shoulder-mounted wing is swept forwards by 5 degrees. It has a high-mounted stabiliser.

The Royal Air Force ordered 40 gliders, and the second T.53 was evaluated by them for use by the Air Training Corps. The order was cancelled following evaluation and the disruption caused when the Slingsby factory was destroyed by fire in November 1968. Following the fire, Slingsby built a small batch of modified T.53B aircraft, the Phoenix, for the civil market, and later sold the rights of the design to Yorkshire Sailplanes which then resumed production as the Yorkshire Sailplanes YS-53 Sovereign.

Hydrogen pinch. Hydrogen pinch analysis (HPA) is a hydrogen management method that originates from the concept of heat pinch analysis. HPA is a systematic technique for reducing hydrogen consumption and hydrogen generation through integration of hydrogen-using activities or processes in the petrochemical industry, petroleum refineries hydrogen distribution networks and hydrogen purification.

Principle
A mass analysis is done by representing the purity and flowrate for each stream from the hydrogen consumers (sinks), such as hydrotreaters, hydrocrackers, isomerization units and lubricant plants and the hydrogen producers (sources), such as hydrogen plants and naphtha reformers, streams from hydrogen purifiers, membrane reactors, pressure swing adsorption and continuous distillation and off-gas streams from low- or high-pressure separators. The source-demand diagram shows bottlenecks, surplus or shortages. The hydrogen pinch is the purity at which the hydrogen network has neither hydrogen surplus nor deficit.

After the analysis REFOPT from the Centre for Process Integration at The University of Manchester is used as a tool for process integration with which the process is optimized. The methodology was also developed into commercial software by companies such as Linnhoff March and AspenTech. The Aspen product incorporated the work of Nick Hallale (formerly a lecturer at University of Manchester) and was the first method to consider multiple components, rather than a pseudo-binary mixture of hydrogen and methane.

History
The first assessment based on cost and value composite curves of hydrogen resources of a hydrogen network was proposed by Tower et al. (1996). Alves  developed the hydrogen pinch analysis approach based on the concept of heat pinch analysis in 1999. Nick Hallale and Fang Liu extended this original work, adding pressure constraints and mathematical programming for optimisation. This was followed by developments at AspenTech, producing commercial software for industrial application.

Nikopol Ferroalloy Plant. Nikopol Ferroalloy Plant is a producer of Manganese Ferroalloy and related material located in Ukraine.

Background
The plant is one of the largest global producers of manganese alloys, and is situated in the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine, close to large manganese ore deposits. The two main products of the plant are Ferromanganese (FeMn) and Ferrosilicomanganese (FeSiMn)

Plant capacity is over 1 million metric tonnes of silicomanganese and 250,000 tonnes of high carbon ferromanganese, along with significant production capabilities in materials required for manganese production (fluxes). Additionally waste slag supplies the construction industry. The alloys are produced from manganese ore and coke in an electric arc furnace.

Company history
In 1958 the USSR council of ministers gave a decree for the construction of a manganese ferroalloy plant at Nikopol in Ukraine. Including the factory buildings a water supply and electricity supply had also to be built. By 1966 the factory was sufficiently complete for the first tapping of No.1 furnace.

By 1975 over 2 million tonnes of silico-manganese had been produced. In the troubled times of the 1990s brought about by the collapse of the Soviet Union and Ukrainian independence the factory had difficulty obtaining raw materials, and even the electricity to power the furnaces was in short supply. Nevertheless, by 2004 furnace No. 14 produced its first million tons of alloy.

Privatisation and de-privatisation

In 2003 as part of a governmental privatisation plan a 50% stake in the plant was sold to Interpipe Group for 80million dollars considered to be a fraction of its true worth. A further 26% was acquired by the Privat Group. The sale later became part of a political scandal in Ukraine relating to privatisations as well as court proceedings to undo the privatisation. The situation echos similar problems with the privatisation of other major Ukrainian industrial concerns, including Luhanskteplovoz and Kryvorizhstal; both being also sold for under market value, in privatisation sales that were later reversed. The company was also fought over by the two major stake holders Privat Group and Interpipe.

Investigations into abuse of authority by the state officials during the initial privatisation have taken place, and the sale was declared illegal in 2005 with attempts to block any further privatisation attempts made in 2006.
