Monumento Ícaro da Praça Dezessete - Década de 1940.

Uma escultura pouco conhecida com uma história fascinante que daria um filme. Assim é o Monumento aos Aviadores Gago Coutinho e Sacadura Cabral, localizado na Praça 17, no bairro de Santo Antônio, Centro do Recife, que ganhou do Conselho Estadual de Preservação do Patrimônio Cultural (CEPPC) parecer favorável ao tombamento.

A solicitação foi apresentada, em 2014, pela Comunidade Portuguesa em Pernambuco (CCPP) com o intuito de reconhecer a importância histórico-cultural do monumento que marca a bravura e o ineditismo da viagem empreendida pelos lusitanos Cabral e Coutinho que, em 1922, realizaram a primeira travessia aérea do Atlântico Sul e, num local próximo onde fica atualmente a Praça 17, amerissou no rio Capibaribe o hidroavião monomotor Santa Cruz completando a ligação entre Portugal e o Brasil.

Vale ressaltar que o ponto de chegada dos aviadores já tem grande importância para a história da Cidade. Lá Dom Pedro II e família desembarcaram em visita ao Estado, em 1859. Após esse episódio, o Cais do Ramos, do Colégio (pois ficava próximo ao colégio dos jesuítas) ou 22 de Novembro, foi reformado e rebatizado como Cais do Imperador.

O monumento, concluído em 1927, foi uma doação da CCPP à Cidade. Obra de Santos e Simões Estatuários, foi construído com peças de cantaria esculpidas em pedra lioz e tem no alto uma escultura em bronze representando o personagem mitológico Ícaro, símbolo do desejo humano de voar.

"No nosso parecer colocamos algumas recomendações. Uma delas é a conexão com os outros monumentos daquela área", lembrou a conselheira e relatora do processo, Ana Júlia de Souza Melo. "Além do fato histórico, há a contribuição cultural e o próprio monumento, que é de art déco e passa a integrar o roteiro turístico de Pernambuco.”

El Colegio de Enfermería de Guadalajara celebra su III Jornada de Ética y Deontología para formar a las enfermeras y a todo el personal sanitario en cuidados paliativos. La jornada se celebrará de forma presencial en el Salón de Grados de Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud. Para acceder a la jornada se deberá rellenar el formulario online disponible en la web oficial del Colegio de Enfermería de Granada.

La jornada será presentada por el presidente del colegio, Jacinto Escobar, quien detalla que «desde el Colegio de Enfermería de Granada apostamos por la formación y la información deontológica y hemos incrementado la atención que prestamos a este área. En esa atención especial se enmarca parte de la oferta formativa del colegio y la III Jornada de Ética y Deontología, un programa dedicado a analizar los cuidados paliativos y el papel de la Enfermería en esta atención que debe estar caracterizada por la humanización de los cuidados». Seguirá con una mesa de debate en la que se tratarán temas de docencia e investigación en cuidados paliativos, además se centra en los cuidados de enfermería en cuidados paliativos pediátricos y concluirá con “El miedo ante los cuidados paliativos y lo reconfortante de contar con ellos”, el último tema que se abordará a manos de Mª Carmen Rojano, cuidadora familiar de paciente de CCPP.

«Después de la pandemia, en la que ha sido fundamental el trabajo enfermero, recuperamos estas jornadas para escuchar a los sanitarios, pero también a los familiares de pacientes, para profundizar en cómo son los paliativos pediátricos o ahondar en la dignidad con la que hay que despedir la vida. Toca una vez más reflexionar sobre nuestro papel en los cuidados paliativos y sobre los derechos de nuestros pacientes, que deben participar de las decisiones siempre que sea posible. Las jornadas servirán para formar e informar, pero también para reclamar más medios tanto económicos, como en infraestructuras y en personal especializado. Desde la Comisión de Ética y Deontología del Colegio ofrecemos un curso de bioética, estas jornadas, un sistema de consultoría y un cinefórum en el que utilizamos una película como punto de partida para abordar temas de actualidad», cuenta el presidente del colegio.

Protecting boiler feed pumps: Cavitation problems in automatic recirculation valves solved

  Dongducheon is one of the largest Combined Cycle Power Plants (CCPP) in South Korea. Having faced serious cavitation problems in the AR Valves protecting its pumps for several years, the German manufacturer Schroeder Valves delivered the solution. How one of the largest South Korean power plants finally found a solution to the of its Automatic Recirculation (AR) Valves Dongducheon Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP) is one of the largest CCPPs in South Korea having a power production capacity of 1,716MW (858MW x 2 Units). This plant consists of 4 gas turbines + 2 steam turbines and generators supplied by MHI (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd) and the 6 BFW pumps supplied by Hyosung Goodsprings. Ever since the commissioning stage of the plant in 2015, the plant has faced serious cavitation problems in the AR Valves protecting the pumps because the ARVs are often operated under extremely critical operating conditions. Plant operation logic and TCA Cooler operations require low flow rates below pump minimum flow, which makes the AR Valves operate at partial-load and quite often daily startup/shutdown operation. The main reason for cavitation was the – at times – very low flow rate and thus critical load condition of the valves. Low flow rates often cause cavitation in AR Valves.

Due to the – at times – very low flow rate and thus critical load condition the valves suffered from cavitation in the initial years. In the current plant concept, which today is common for most CCPPs, each of the 3 boiler feed pumps (per steam turbine) has the capacity to provide the full rated flow of the HRSG-drum. This is one of the critical load cases which led to the damage in the AR Valves installed then. To cool the turbine, feed water is supplied to a TCA cooler (Turbine Cooling Air). In this heat exchanger, the cooling air for the gas turbine transfers its heat to the boiler feed water. The TCA cooler is not to be confused with the HRSG – its purpose is to cool the gas turbine unit, not to generate steam. This cooling flow is also significantly lower than the minimum pump flow and again this results in critical case of partial-load operation which can generate heavy cavitation on the internal parts of the ARV bypass branch, especially under a high-pressure application of 218 bar differential pressure at Qmin.

Cavitation damage on a bypass valve head. When the bypass is closing as the process flow gets close to the required minimum, there is a very critical operating mode when the multistage throttles completely lose their efficiency and the complete pressure reduction (> 200 bar) is concentrated only on a small gap between piston and piston seat. In this single stage pressure reduction mode, the pressure inevitably falls below the vapor pressure and cavitation occurs with severe consequences for the bypass trim. Thus, the matter of point on ARV design is NOT to make pressure drop below vapor pressure at each pressure reduction throttle stage at any flow rate. The solution: Intermediate Pressure (SIP) and High Pressure (SHP) Valves In 2015, Schroeder, a German ARV manufacturer, was successful in solving this problem. By using a sophisticated hydraulic control system, the newly developed SHP series could avoid this wear critical bypass operating mode, even without any restrictions of the main flow range or the pump operating mode, as it is common for classic AR Valves. In  the next step in 2017, this hydraulic control system was transferred to the SIP with a simpler and consequently more competitive technical concept.

The Schroeder Intermediate Pressure Valve (SIP) is the answer to changing operation modes in power plants. Since being operated in 2015, the plant had been suffering from AR Valves which design is suitable for regular operation at Q100, not for variable operating conditions - especially for partial-load operation which might bring extremely critical cavitation problems in the ARV’s internal parts of the bypass branch. And so, the plant had investigated which is the best solution among control valves, other automatic recirculation valves and the Schroeder Valves SIP series. Schroeder finally got the chance to demonstrate their SIP on this very challenging application because of the following reasons: - The SIP bypass branch design is exactly the same as at the SHP valves that have shown very good performance at other CCPPs - Osung CCPP & Ansan CCPP in South Korea since their installation in 2018. - The SIP is especially designed for intermediate to high pressure applications from 100 bar up to 250 bar with frequent plant operation below minimum flow rate conditions. - The SIP controls the bypass by means of a multi-stage piston and a sophisticated hydraulic control, which enables a defined multi-stage pressure reduction at all flow rates and avoids the most critical operating modes. This stands for almost cavitation-free or very light cavitation operation at all times. After almost 10 months, where nearly half of the operation time was operated in modulating bypass position (partial-load operation), the SIP was disassembled to be thoroughly inspected on the internal parts and they almost looked brand new. It is understood that a large number of those plant types suffer from the ARVs causing malfunctions that result in short lifetime of internal parts and, in return, require high maintenance time and cost. Schroeder Valves is confident that his SIP can be an ideal solution to respond to various operation load changes and is completely in line with their customers’ expectations. www.schroeder-valves.com Read the full article

Coalition against APC: Nigeria’s opposition parties in disarray

A move to present a united front against Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has thrown major opposition parties into disarray, checks by us was revealed. On Thursday, 7th December, 2023, reports emerged that seven opposition political parties have come together to form what is known as Coalition of Concerned Political Parties, CCPP. The seven parties are – Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, African Democratic Congress, ADC, Social Democratic Party, SDP, Peoples Allied Movement, PAM, New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Young Progressives Party, YPP, and Zenith Labour Party, ZLP. The Coalition, intended to strengthen democracy in the country by presenting effective opposition to the ruling APC, was reportedly formed at a meeting attended by leaders of the seven political parties at the headquarters of the SDP in Abuja. National Chairman of the SDP, Shehu Gabam, said the parties were worried about the level of instability in the country, especially against a backdrop of controversial court rulings on elections in Zamfara, Nasarawa, Kano and Plateau states. Opposition parties suffered major judicial losses in legal battles concerning elections in those states. Nigeria’s leading opposition party, the PDP, was reportedly represented at the meeting by the acting National Secretary Setonji Koshoedo, who stood in for the acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum. The main objective of the Coalition is to strengthen Nigeria’s democracy by offering a strong opposition, according to the party leaders who were at the meeting. It was also stated that the coalition will not lead to a merger, meaning that the political parties will remain independent entities even as they work together towards dislodging the APC. But checks by us revealed that the Coalition took off on a shaky note, and appeared dead on arrival, due to several factors, especially internal squabbles in the concerned political parties. It was learnt that some of the party leaders who attended the meeting which birthed the CCPP did not have the full authorization of their parties to go into the Coalition. Although the PDP acting National Secretary, Koshoedo, was reported to be at the meeting, and endorsed the Coalition, the party has distanced itself from the alliance. Debo Ologunagba, PDP spokesman, told us that the party is not aware of the Coalition and has no part in it. “We are not in any merger talks with anybody. Every other party in this country came from the PDP so how will we be merging? “Every other party in this country today is a part of PDP, so how can we be merging with them? We are not aware of the merger,” he said in a telephone interview with us on Sunday, 10th December. The NNPP, one of the political parties that reportedly formed the Coalition, had in a statement by its factional National Working Committee, NWC, on Friday, 8th December, said it has not discussed the issue of forming a coalition now or in the near future with any other party. The statement was signed by the acting National Chairman of the Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso faction of the party, Abba Kawu Ali. However, speaking with us on Sunday, 10th December, Agbo Major, the acting National Chairman of the camp that comprises the original members of the NNPP, said Ali was actually the one that attended the meeting to endorse the Coalition on behalf of the party. Major also distanced the NNPP from the Coalition, and insisted that Ali and the NWC he leads have been expelled from the party. “We are not part of the Coalition. It is those misguided elements – the expelled Abba Kawu and Oladipupo Olayokun that went to attend the meeting. “They are not members of our party and we debunked it (membership of the CCPP) immediately, that’s why you can see now that they have turned round to say they are not (part of the Coalition) because they know that that is not the mood of the party. “These people are not members of our party. Abba Kawu and Dipo Olayokun were expelled. We are not part of any Coalition. NNPP is not part of it, Abba Kawu and Dipo Olayokun went there out of their own selfish interests and the party has disowned them,” Major said. Similarly, although the now controversial Coalition was formed during a meeting at the Abuja national headquarters of the SDP, a faction of the party, in a statement by Alfa Mohammed, National Publicity Secretary, disowned the Coalition. He described it as part of a plot “to turn public opinion against the current government, (President Bola Tinubu administration) potentially leading to its undemocratic removal”. “However, the SDP firmly distances itself from such unpatriotic and undemocratic political tactics,” the statement added, noting that “certain (SDP) factions illegitimately recognized by INEC” were the ones involved in the Coalition. We don’t want to be part of Coalition – Labour Party While the political parties listed as part of the Coalition struggle with problems that followed the announcement, the Labour Party, LP, has decided to steer clear of the alliance. The LP is regarded as one of the leaders of the opposition but the party was not listed among the members of the CCPP. Asked if the Coalition can work without the LP, and why the party was not part of the CCPP, a spokesman of the LP, Obiora Ifoh, told us that the party will be standing alone. “As you can see, LP was not part of the Coalition. We also do not intend to be. We are standing alone. “However, our party will entertain discussions with other parties on how to improve our democracy, particularly on how to reform our electoral laws,” Ifoh said on Sunday.” Coalition not properly conceived Meanwhile, the Secretary-General of the Conference of Nigeria Political Parties, CNPP, Willy Ezugwu, has observed that the CCPP is taking off on a shaky note because the Coalition was not properly conceived. The CNPP is an association of all the registered political parties in Nigeria. Appraising the problems trailing the announcement of the Coalition, Ezugwu said, “In view of what is happening with the Coalition, you cannot put somebody’s name in an alliance without his consent or agreement. “You should call a meeting and invite all the parties concerned then you can discuss. You cannot just come out to make the announcement without the knowledge of all the political parties involved. “You must consult first. It is so bad that they have not even started building the house and the house has started falling.” Should the opposition unite against APC? Ezugwu noted that a united front by opposition parties, to checkmate the ruling APC, would be a welcome development. But he doubted the chances of such an arrangement succeeding in the country at the moment. “It is very very good if the opposition parties can form a united front but the ruling party in the country is always using money to buy those in the opposition. “That is what is happening. There is no politician who can say he is innocent today because all of them are waiting for the ruling party, either at the state or federal level. “That is why the opposition parties cannot come together. The hunger in the land is also a factor,” he said. “The unfortunate thing in Nigeria is that once a political party is in power, all the other political parties want to get a share and it becomes as if there are no other political parties. “Most times, it is only the civil society that does the job of the opposition. You cannot have effective opposition when most of them are waiting for an appointment from the ruling party. It is very unfortunate,” he added. Pointing to the case of the APC – which succeeded in wresting power from the PDP following a merger involving Nigeria’s then largest opposition parties – the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, and the All Nigeria Peoples Party, ANPP, along with a breakaway faction of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, and the New PDP – a faction of the PDP, Major agreed on the need for a coalition. But he was quick to add that what was proposed with the formation of the CCPP was a coalition, and not a merger, like the APC. He stressed that a coalition of opposition parties is a novel arrangement which has not been tested in Nigeria. “I have always insisted that the more the better, but what is the original agenda (of the Coalition)? Who is driving it? If you come together the job becomes easier like we saw in the case of APC. “That (APC) was even a merger but here people are talking about a coalition. There is a big difference between coalition and merger. “A merger means your certificate will cease to exist – you return it to INEC and you adopt one single name. But a coalition means that your certificates are still standing but you are working together. “Nobody has tested coalition here before but merger has been tested and it has given the APC result. So for the first time people are considering a coalition but it has not been tested since the advent of our democracy.” Questioning the credibility of those championing the CCPP, the NNPP acting National Chairman said a coalition cannot work unless it is led by the right people. “It is not as if it is not workable. The question is who are those driving it? Is it those selfish people that we have seen on the TV pushing it? “It will not work unless people who are genuine democrats, who are interested in the survival of our democracy, are allowed to drive it,” he declared.

Benefits of Digitalized Asset Management for Steam TurbineDigitalization is bringing about substantial cost savings, increased efficiency and flexibility across different Industries, and transforming business models. Digital solutions, such as remote diagnostic services and machine learning enabled by free-flowing data between smart connected things are anticipated to help cope with diminishing resources. However, while sensor and networking technologies have improved and cheapened simultaneously, and data has proved its worth as a valuable resource, the reality especially in the energy and process industry is that plants are still very siloed systemsSteam Turbines are expensive and delicate systems operating in extreme conditions, so the sensor and automated maintenance capabilities are limited. Furthermore, most of the research covering the digitalization of turbines, ie, remote monitoring and diagnostics, optimization, and digitalized maintenance solutions, focuses on Steam Turbines and Combined Cycle Power Plants (CCPP). These systems have different setups, face different challenges, and serve different use cases compared to Steam Turbines plants hence also their value chain and digitalization opportunities differTurtle Turbines (P) Ltd.Continuum, Off, Pashan - Sus Rd, Baner, Pune, Maharashtra 411045+91 7030 9155 30/31/32/33
