What is a Methanol?

Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol, wood alcohol, wood naphtha or wood spirits, is a chemical with the formula CH₃OH. Methanol acquired the name "wood alcohol" because it was once produced chiefly as a byproduct of the destructive distillation of wood. Modern methanol is produced in a catalytic industrial process directly from carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen.Methanol is the simplest alcohol, and is a light, volatile, colorless, flammable liquid with a distinctive odor very similar to that of ethanol.

What is a Methanol plant?

Methanol (CH₃OH) is produced from synthesis gas, natural gas or other hydrocarbons utilizing flexible PPE designed and fabricated equipment.PPE has designed, fabricated and installed methanol plants utilizing a variety of feedstocks including conventional sources such as natural gas and syngas and non-conventional sources such as biowaste.PPE offers a range of equipment options to generate methanol designed for your specific application. We can provide skid-mounted modular plants or large-scale on-site plants.PPE offers a range of equipment options to generate methanol designed for your specific application.

Process of Methonal making plant?

The Uhde low-pressure synthesis loop consists of a recycle compressor, feed/effluent exchanger, methanol reactor, final cooler, and crude methanol separator. The crude methanol, which is condensed downstream of the methanol reactor, is separated from unreacted gas in the separator and routed via an expansion drum to the crude methanol distillation. Water and minor quantities of by-products formed in the synthesis are removed by an energy saving Uhde-designed three-column distillation system.

Typical consumption figures (feed plus fuel) range from 29 to 33 GJ per metric ton of methanol produced. Waste heat from the syngas unit that fed this facility was being used in the Methanol Plant. Additional steam for heating will need to be made available if the plant is not linked to a syngas unit as before.Uhde claims that the simple addition of a pre-reactor will increase this unit’s capacity by 20%.

Major Equipment used

Compressor:  Built in 1995.  This centrifugal compressor operates with make-up gas (MUG) on one side and recycle (REC) gas on the other side.  It compresses 50,000 Nm³/hr of make-up gas from 19 bar at 44 °C to 44 bar at 117 °C.  It compresses 285,000 Nm³/hr of recycle gas from 37 bar at 37 °C to 42 bar at 49 °C.  It has a 4,000 kW electric drive motor.

Market Analysis of  Methonal Making plant

CROP plants sprayed with diluted methanol, or wood alcohol, showed significantly greater yields while requiring less water than a comparison group of plants, two researchers say.Methanol spraying, however, does not boost the growthof all plants. Corn, sorghum and the weeds, Johnson and Bermuda grass, were unaffected. In addition, because the methanol appears effective only when sprayed under very bright light, winter crops and crops grown in less sunny areas are unlikely to benefit.Normally when plants use sunlight to make sugars during photosynthesis they use carbon dioxide as their source of carbon. But in the early 1980's, Dr. Nonrandom and Dr. Benson found that algae, when given methanol as a carbon source, could grow twice as fast, producing twice as many carbon-containing molecules like sugar and proteins.Market value of methanol making plant is very high.Its a good obtains to start a business in methanol making plant.

Start a Boxing Center business

Start a Boxing Center business

Introduction:-

Boxing clubs are expensive to start. However, many businesses combine fitness and boxing to broaden their client base and attract more income. A mutually beneficial spiral frequently develops where fitness income covers the expenses of the facility and equipment, while boxing successes attract more fitness clients. Currently there are also a number of fitness programs that have been created that combine boxing and fitness into hybrids, such as kickboxing exercise classes.

Planning Phase

Step 1

Take time to develop a professional and realistic business plan for your club. Contact your local business promotion organizations, such as the Chamber of Commerce, for information regarding local demographics, related businesses that might be competition and details regarding the local economy. Imagine a typical working week for your club and identify all expenses incurred. Although it may be tempting to inflate potential income figures and deflate expected costs, the more accurate your business plan is, the higher the chance that your business will succeed.

Step 2

Contact your local bank or the Small Business Administration in your area. If they do not have the funding you need, the people there may be able to put you in contact with other funding sources that do. Determine the minimum amount of money needed to run your boxing and fitness club for the first 6 months. Don't count on being able to cut corners or save on expenses, plan for the need to cover the full amount.

Step 3

Contact the boxing regulatory agencies in your area to determine what kinds of permits or licenses you will need so your fighters can participate in competition. Speak with county or city treasurer's office personnel to determine what business licenses you need to secure. Investigate local fitness club requirements to make sure you are in compliance with health and sanitation laws. Find out whether the various permits or licenses need to be publicly displayed and be prepared for inspectors to drop by to see that you are in compliance.

Start up Phase

Step 1

Remember the old adage, location, location, location. Think about how far your typical client would be willing to travel to your facility and select a building that is easily accessible to your largest client group. Although a few intensely dedicated clients may not care about looks, pick a location that is visually appealing to the more typical hobbyist, whose greater numbers usually make up the bulk of boxing fitness club members.

Step 2

List the minimum amount of training equipment you will need to start your club and also create a wish list of extras that you would like to have. Check around for used equipment if keeping costs down is a factor. Apply a new coat of paint or new labels to give new life to equipment you might be able to purchase inexpensively from another club. Always make safety your top consideration with equipment.

Step 3

Remember that the heart of your business will be your staff. Hire the best people you can afford and pay them as well as possible. Many coaches and trainers have developed their own following, which could potentially create an automatic client base for your new club. Observe your staff at work and listen carefully to client comments to refine what is working for your location and style

History

Early history

The earliest known depiction of boxing comes from a Sumerian relief from the 3rd millennium BC.Later depictions from the 2nd millennium BC are found in reliefs from the Mesopotamian nations of Assyria and Babylonia, and in Hittite art from Asia Minor. The earliest evidence for fist fighting with any kind of gloves can be found onMinoan Crete (c. 1500–900 BC), and on Sardinia, if we consider the boxing statuesof Prama mountains (c. 2000–1000 BC).

Boxing was a popular spectator sport in Ancient Rome. In order for the fighters to protect themselves against their opponents they wrapped leather thongs around their fists. Eventually harder leather was used and the thong soon became aweapon. The Romans even introduced metal studs to the thongs to make the cestuswhich then led to a more sinister weapon called the myrmex (‘limb piercer’). Fighting events were held at Roman Amphitheatres. The Roman form of boxing was often a fight until death to please the spectators who gathered at such events. However, especially in later times, purchased slaves and trained combat performers were valuable commodities, and their lives were not given up without due consideration. Often slaves were used against one another in a circle marked on the floor. This is where the term ring came from. In 393 AD, during the Roman gladiator period, boxing was abolished due to excessive brutality. It was not until the late 17th century that boxing re-surfaced in London.

Training 

A boxer's training depends largely on the point in their career at which he or she is situated. If the boxer is just a beginner, a minimal training routine might consist of learning how to hit the heavy bag, the speed bag, and the double end bag (a small bag with a cord on top and bottom connecting it to the floor and ceiling) as well as doing shadowboxing in front of a mirror, skipping rope, calisthenics and jogging every day, as well as an occasional practice bout inside the ring (sparring). Most beginning boxers will spend most of their early careers conditioning and establishing the fundamentals. For the amateur or professional boxer preparing for a competition or bout, however, training is much more stringent. Boxing is widely considered one of the most physically demanding sports in the world.

Weight 

Boxing, like several other fighting sports, categorizes its competitors into weight classes. Some fighters try to take advantage of this by dieting before weigh-in so that they can be bumped down a weight class. In extreme cases, a fighter may forego solid food before the official weigh-in ceremony, and eat a lot afterward to compensate. In some very extreme cases, boxers have been forced to stop eating solid food up to three days before the weigh-in ceremony, in order to make weight for the fight. Sometimes, if a boxer doesn't make the weight agreed for on the first weight-in, he or she might go to a sauna or to jog with a jacket to sweat and lose the extra pounds, however this is mainly water that the body holds. After weigh ins, competitors will general add on weight before the fight, resulting in them weighing anywhere from 5 to 25 lbs above the weight class.A boxer will generally try to have the maximum weight possible within the Boxing weight classes (s)he is fighting in, as a good boxer will be able to use his weight to his advantage.

Advanced Boxing Techniques

BOXING TECHNIQUES

Boxing techniques, boxing advice, and boxing instructions to help all boxers train and perfect their boxing skills to become a stronger, more powerful, and faster boxer. Great technique should improve effectiveness and efficiency. Great fighting techniques are focused on improving performance as opposed to be limited by rules and forms. Every fighter and fighting situation is different requiring mastery of many techniques. There are no such things as the "best fighting techniques", there are only good applications. Technique in itself is not so much what you do, but how you use it.

1) Corkscrew Punch

The corkscrew punch is a punch that is thrown while twisting the shoulder, elbow and wrist all in one motion, so that your thumb ends up facing downwards and your palm facing the outside. For some fighters, this technique can be awkward and many choose to avoid using it. The benefits of this punch includes:

§  Hand Protection: Your forearms add more stability in the wrist by placing it sideways. Many fighters injure their thumbs when throwing power punches, but when you corkscrew a punch, you ensure that your knuckles (particularly on the forefinger) come in contact with the target first without your thumb feeling any impact.

§  Chin Protection: You’ll find that when you corkscrew a punch, the shoulder of your punching arm automatically raises slightly resulting in better protection for your chin.

§  Better Defensive Posture: The motion of a corkscrew punch forces you to lean at an angle where it’s more difficult for your opponent to catch you with a counterpunch.

There are certain punches that work well with the corkscrew boxing technique while others I don’t recommend. I would avoid using the corkscrew jab because it doesn’t leave you in a good position to follow up with any other punches and also uppercuts tend to be very awkward to corkscrew.

I would recommend the following corkscrew punches:

§  Corkscrew Cross: The cross is easiest punch to throw with a corkscrew motion and it’s a power punch that will hit the target quicker than any other power punch.

§  Corkscrew Lead Hook: The lead hook is one of the most effective punches in general, but you may want to consider using a corkscrew motion if you find that you hurt your wrist or thumb when you throw the hook.

§  Corkscrew Rear Hook: The rear hook is thrown from the back and therefore, it can often be difficult connecting the knuckles to the target when throwing it conventionally, especially if your opponent is only just within your reach or at a hard-to-connect angle. By corkscrewing the rear hook, you can hit the target with your knuckles much easier without damaging your wrist as you will have more support from your forearm.

§  Corkscrew Overhand: This is my favorite corkscrew punch. It’s the same as the corkscrew rear hook but comes from an above angle opposed to the side, therefore making it more difficult for your opponent to see.

2) Leaping Lead Hook

Although it sounds relatively simple, the leaping lead hook, which is literally just a lead hook thrown while jumping in at the time same, is a difficult punch to master.

There are many factors involved that makes up a beautifully thrown leaping lead hook. These include foot movement, body positioning, accuracy, timing and of course, the technique of the punch itself.

Failure to effectively implement any of the aforementioned elements can result in you leaping into a counterpunch instead.

Here are some tips for effectively throwing the leaping lead hook:

§  Measure Distance: Never leap in from too far out because your opponent will be able to see it coming. You’re supposed to throw it when you’re just out of range by a few inches.

§  Jump Height: When you leap in, the maximum height your feet should leave the ground is only by around an inch. In fact, as you leap in, ideally your feet should sweep the floor as if you’re gliding.

§  Bend Your Knees: From the moment you leap and when you land, your knees should be slightly bent. This ensures stability and a quick escape should you miss.

§  Keep It Short: Don’t throw the lead hook too wide because you’ll reduce speed and power. If you’re within the correct distance, then you’ll be able to throw a short lead hook that is both quick and powerful.

§  Control Your Power: Don’t follow through with the hook because if you miss, you’ll end up swinging wildly off-balance.

§  Keep Your Guard Up: This goes without saying, keep your rear guard held high covering your chin.

If you not very experienced or athletic, then you should avoid using the leaping lead hook because it’s risky and can easily go wrong.

3) Multiple Lead Hook

It’s easy to throw a single lead hook and even a double. However, very few fighters can effectively throw the lead hook in threes, fours and even more.

Here are some tips for throwing multiple lead hooks successfully:

§  Throw Quick: When you throw more than two of the same punch, it’s all about speed.

§  Throw Short: In order to throw quick punches in threes and fours, they must be kept short which means that you must be in close range.

§  Target Upstairs: Aim for the face and not the body because going for the body with multiple weak punches is ineffective and will just leave you open for a counter. You can however, go to the body for your last hook since it will be your most powerful.

§  Control Your Power: Only the last punch of the combination should be thrown with power. All previous punches of the combination should have minimal power to serve as a distraction.

4) Double Cross

The double cross / straight, holds the same principles as the multiple lead hook, except that the double cross is more effective and less risky. To pull it off successfully, just follow these steps:

1.       Throw a cross punch as normal but without following through. This helps to blind your opponent’s vision.

2.      As it hits the target, pull your arm back slightly, only by a few inches.

3.      Extend your arm again to hit the target again.

All of this should be done very quickly. The double cross will distract and frustrate your opponent and if done correctly, it’s also great for setting up a hard body shot.

5) Shoulder Roll

The shoulder roll technique is a is a defensive maneuver made popular by Floyd Mayweather Jr, James Toney and more recently, Adrien Broner. It involves using the lead shoulder to deflect the cross and overhand, and the forearm to protect the body. Once the punch is deflected, it then leaves you in an excellent position to throw a short counter uppercut / cross.

The shoulder roll requires good reflexes, timing and body positioning. Even the slightest error of judgement can lead to getting hit flush, since your lead arm is held low.

Not many fighters can pull it off successfully (often due to style and technique) and I wouldn’t recommend that you try it without an great amount of practice first. It’s not for everyone and if the shoulder roll doesn’t suit your style, then just leave it out altogether, otherwise you can end up completely messing it up.
