The stack sampler described in this paper has been developed to overcome the difficulties of particulate sampling with presently available equipment. Its use on emissions from hog fuel fired boilers, back-fired incinerators, wigwam burners, asphalt plants, and seed cleaning cyclones is reported. The results indicate that the sampler is rapid and reliable in its use. It is relatively simple and inexpensive to operate. For most sources it should be considered over the more complicated and expensive sampling trains being used and specified.

The Clean Energy Development Bank (CEDB) has done a pioneering work to provide the loan for hydro projects without collateral under the “project financing” concept. However, a rigorous project processing regime is required to protect from any risk along with strong and continuous monitoring by the Bank. This paper highlights the requirement of technical due diligence of candidate hydro projects looking for financing. CEDB has developed and adopted a systematic hydropower project processing process Operational Policy and Guidelines. Cost-over run or time overrun due to any reason is the two major concerns for Financier as well as Developer. Rigorous screening is needed to ensure virtual risk proof lending.
