Using Solar Energy to Build Air Conditioning – A Case Study of Libya

Article May 30, 2021

The aim of this study is the evaluation of the economic and technical viability for the installation of a solar air conditioning system based on parabolic solar concentrators and adsorption technology, in an existent building. As case study was selected a bright star university located in elbrega city- Libya. Besides air conditioning, this system is also used for domestic hot water production. This solution enables the system use throughout the year in order to maximize the investment and reducing environmental pollution resulting from the use of fossil fuels in energy production. Results show that the implementation of these systems is feasible for the Libya reality and the climatic conditions enjoyed by most Libyan cities in terms of the intensity of solar radiation and most of the land is predominantly desert.

Burning Municipal Solid Waste to Generate Electric Power, a Study in Al-Marj, Libya

Article December 23, 2020

Incineration is used to reduce the effect of harmful environmental and health problems resultant from waste dumping into unsuitable landfills. The aim of this paper is to use incineration method to produce electrical energy from waste treatment. It is a new technology that destructs the solid waste by controlled burning at high temperatures. Different applications of incineration techniques have been evaluated in order to treat waste in El-Marj city. Based on daily waste weight for every person random samples are collected from different zones in the city for about 8 years. The thermodynamic model calculations of proposed plant show that one ton of waste can produce one MW of electricity.

Implementation of Lean Six Sigma Approaches in Construction Operations

Article December 23, 2020

Lean Six Sigma (LSS) methodology is often successfully used to optimize processes, reducing defects and wastes in manufacturing processes, when applied in construction, improving its quality while reducing cost. Even though LSS has been widely used in construction processes all over the industries, it is rarely used in Libyan construction industry. Libyan constructions experience with material shortages, late material delivery, and lack of experienced design and project management, unstable process, and ineffective communications, inadequate planning and scheduling which results in along cycle time of the process. The purpose of this paper is to implement lean six sigma techniques as a sophisticated tool in Libyan Construction projects. Value stream mapping (VSM) is considered as a special type of flow chart that uses to depict and improve the flow of process steps and information from origin to delivery to the customer.
