If you are like most Americans, you are aware that water supplies are not as dependable as we would like. Over 2100 contaminants have been discovered in drinking water thus far. Our water source may be free of some of these, but who knows which are still present?
Let's assume you've acted on the warnings you have heard and have stopped drinking faucet or even well water as is. You have decided only filtered water is worthy of yourself and your family. If so, you have elected to either buy a filter and purify it yourself, or to continually purchase bottled water in some form.
The problem is, when you go on vacation or on a camping trip, you don't want to trust the water supplies available to have the same healthy water you enjoy at home. If you are purchasing bottled water, then you'll take along a case or two. This option will probably provide you with safe water, but it is the most expensive. Over eight billion gallons of filtered water are sold annually at prices at times exceeding gasoline. Bottled water may not be as pure is the label indicates but it would be fine for camping. However, keep in mind that if you discard the plastic bottles you use on your vacation, you only add to the environmental problem of plastics that could sit in land fills for centuries.
Perhaps you have purchased a gravity feed water filter. If so, you will save money over bottled water and will not have multiple bottles to discard or recycle. If the unit is portable, take it with you on vacation so that you can guarantee the water you drink away is as good as that you drink at home.
If you either have a built in filter, or can't pack your gravity fed water filter, then what do you do? A good option is for you to plan ahead. Filter more water than you need now and store the extra to take with you on vacation.
But in what should you store and transport it? The water is clean but you certainly don't want to jeopardize your family's health by storing it in unsafe containers. Perhaps you have heard the recent plastics warnings. The PET bottles (made of polyethylene terephthalate) used by most bottled water companies, are safe enough as long as they are not reused. However, if you store water in them where it is warm, plastics can contaminate the water over time.
Another option is to store your filtered water in the hard plastic bottles used for water coolers, or the smaller ones used for sports drinks. They look safe but the National Institutes of Health recently tested bisphenol used to make these bottles, and found it caused neurological problems in babies before birth. The long range effect on others is still the subject of further study. So that option may be out of the picture for you.
Few choices remain. You want the purified water from home but can’t bring the filter. If you take filtered water from home and store it in unsafe containers, you defeat your purpose. The solution to this dilemma is to filter extra water at home and store it in glass containers. This would include bottles, jars, and glass lined thermoses.
This solution solves several problems. We not only have the clean water we want, but we also don't contribute to the environmental problems of discarded bottles. In addition, we have the peace of mind, knowing that the water is pure and safe, and the containers can be washed and reused without contaminating the water we drink.

Gas Turbine Controls Sustain Turbine Output
Our current world involves a great deal of power usage. Part of it is used to power up our appliances, engines and even our vehicles. As we come to acknowledge the application of energy, we also began to discover its several sources. One is from a gas turbine or via combustion of these energies for reduced lubricating oil expense and utilization.
GE Speedtronic Sustain Turbine Production
Control is very important to gas turbines. With the vast functionalities and aspects to handle in every turbine operation, it is a great requirement to have a reliable turbine control that manipulates the speed, limit and overall flow of production of energy from these machines.
