The Steam Generators (SG), equipment that ensures the connection between the primary and secondary circuits, creates several safety problems during operation, mainly due to corrosion and mechanical damages. To provide information about the corrosion behaviour of the structural materials from CANDU SG under normal and abnormal conditions of operation and to identify the failure types produced by the corrosion were performed corrosion experiments consisting in chemical accelerated tests, static autoclaving and electrochemical methods. The gravimetric method, optical metallographic microscopy, XRD and EDS analysis, as well as electrochemical measurements have been used to evaluate the corrosion behavior of the steam generator tubes material (Incoloy-800).

A novel method is introduced for developing calibration models for the spectroscopic measurement of chemical concentrations in an aqueous environment. To demonstrate this matrix-enhanced calibration procedure, we developed calibration models to quantitate glucose and glutamine concentrations in an insect cell culture medium that is a complex mixture of more than 20 components, with three components that manifest significant concentration changes. Accurate calibration models were generated for glucose and glutamine by using a calibration data set composed of 60 samples containing the analytes dissolved in an aqueous buffer along with as few as two samples of the analytes dissolved in culture medium. Standard errors of prediction were 1.0 mM for glucose and 0.35 mM for glutamine. The matrix-enhanced method was also applied to culture medium samples collected during the course of a second bioreactor run. Addition of three culture medium samples to a buffer calibration reduced glucose prediction errors from 3.8 mM to 1.0 mM; addition of two culture medium samples reduced glutamine prediction errors from 1.6 mM to 0.76 mM. Results from this study suggest that spectroscopic calibration models can be developed from a relatively simple set of samples provided that some account for variations in the sample matrix.

Bacteria in the genus Bacillus are the source of several enzymes of current industrial interest. Hydrolases, such as amylases, proteases, and lipases, are the main enzymes consumed worldwide and have applications in a wide range of products and industrial processes. Fermentation processes by Bacillus subtilis using cassava wastewater as a substrate are reported in the technical literature; however, the same combination of microorganisms and this culture medium is limited or nonexistent. In this paper, the amylase, protease, and lipase production of ten Bacillus subtilis strains previously identified as biosurfactant producers in cassava wastewater was evaluated. The LB1a and LB5a strains were selected for analysis using a synthetic medium and cassava wastewater and were identified as good enzyme producers, especially of amylases and proteases. In addition, the enzymatic activity results indicate that cassava wastewater was better than the synthetic medium for the induction of these enzymes.

Agro-industrial residues correspond to all the materials generated from activities that involve the transformation of both crops and livestock to obtain processed or semi-finished products. In Costa Rica, the primary sector of economy generates more than 6.3 trillion tons of organic residues per year. The daily generation of this residues pose environmental and economic problems. In recent years, biotechnological-based alternatives have emerged with the purpose of taking advantage of the high nutritional content of these residues to cultivate microorganisms capable of producing compounds with high demand at a commercial level. The present study evaluates six agro-industrial residues produced in Costa Rica, in order to growth Bacillus subtilis 168.  An optimization of the culture medium was carried out under a complete factorial design 23, where the variables evaluated were carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus sources. Molasses at 10% m/v, wheat bran at 0.5% m/v, and K2HPO4 at 0.01%, as a carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus sources, respectively, were identified as optimal for the growth of Bacillus subtilis 168.
