The Italian port system - 23 Port Authorities
Italian Port Authorities, established by Law No 84, January 28, 1994 on
the reorganization of the port sector in the promotion and development
of commercial activities by sea, are active in all major ports.
The Law 84 of 1994 established the Port Authority in the ports of
Ancona, Bari, Brindisi, Cagliari, Catania, Civitavecchia, Genoa,
La Spezia, Livorno, Marina di Carrara, Messina, Napoli,
Palermo, Ravenna, Savona, Taranto,
Trieste and Venice .
To these were added, after investigation, Olbia, Piombino, and
Salerno in 1995. In order for a port to be considered within the Port
Authority is necessary for the last three years has registered a volume
traffic of goods not less than three million tonnes per year less than
90% of the bulk Cash or 200,000 TEUs in accordance with Article 6,
paragraph 8, of Law 84, 1994.
The port of Gioia Tauro in 1998 and The Port Authority of Augusta
is one of the youngest among the Italian having been established only
in 2001.
The system of ports, integrator of qualified professionals
and other entrepreneurial resources and highly
specialized, is a wealth of know-how for the country.

The work provides well 67,500 PhotoVoltaic modules that
extend over an area of 250 thousand square meters (over the
roofs of all buildings, are also involved in the shelters used for
parking cars).
The total installed power capacity is 15 MW, producing 17 million
kilowatt hours of clean energy per year, equal to the energy
consumption of 5,000 households.
The planned investment is approximately EUR 50 million, while
the work will involve about 450 people. On the environmental
front, the emission of CO2 in the atmosphere will be contained to
less than 9 tons per year, equivalent to the consumption of
about 3,200 tons of oil.

The dry digestion process of organic waste treatment through which, by
the biodegradation of organic material,
is possible to produce the so-called biogas, which is useful for energy as
in can be used in internal combustion engines.
Biodigestion is that of a completely natural process, which in Dry variant
occurs within reactors (cells digestion) made of reinforced concrete,
within which is loaded biomass.
The fermentation process is accelerated by temperatures conducive to
bacterial growth, ie 34 -37 C. The heat is transmitted to the material
from walls and floor heating.
The biogas produced is then conveyed to the co-generator to produce
electricity and heat. The material exiting the reactor can be easily and
economically composted through a conventional aerobic process.
The quality of compost produced can be used as quality agricultural
fertilizer or as fill. Through anaerobic digestion plants, the organic waste
that has long now it is disposed of separately, is used for the production
of electricity and thermal energy for heating and compost for agriculture,
making a significant contribution to reducing fossil fuel use.

Intervention:
The acoustic zoning plan (APZ) is one of the reference tools to
ensure environmental protection and to direct actions designed
to restore the conditions of noise below the normal limits. This
need arises from the fact that in urban and metropolitan of our
country, the increase in noise related to productive activities and
mass motorization, the formation of urban areas with high
population density and characteristics of building products
have resulted in levels noise such as to take the phenomenon
of an emergency nature.
To achieve these objectives, the preparation of APZ has been
divided into three phases.
In the first phase was developed knowledge framework on national and regional industry,
instrumentation and on-going current planning and tools for the management of mobility in order
to ensure compatibility (physical and functional) from noise zones proposed by APZ,
homogeneous areas where the planning instruments and interventions articulate the municipal
government of mobility.
In the second phase, the procedure is done with the reading of the state of the municipality,
through the investigation of the significant elements for the preparation of the Plan, and the
parameterization of the features and elements of the urban system which are the factors that
generate noise in directly or indirectly. In other words, they were considered activities such as
industrial activities, are the direct sources of noise and activities that, when they reach significant eEnergia

levels, attract traffic flow such as to raise the sound levels in the area.
In the third phase, the municipality has been divided into noise zones. Energy and Ports

A SMART SOLUTION TO REDUCE
HARMFUL EMISSIONS: THE WHITE
ENERGY DEVICE

www.eambiente.it Developments

21. BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO THE
WHITE ENERGY DEVICE
Most harmful emissions are due to the incomplete combustion of the fuel.
Microscopically, we can think of fuel as made up of many drops. Reducing the size of the drops
increases the possibility of complete combustion.
Electrorheology/Magnetorheology is the study of the flow of fluids under the influence of
electric/magnetic field.
It has been demonstrated in « Electrorheology leads to efficient combustion» (R. Tao,K. Huang,
H. Tang, and D. Bell, Temple University 2008) as well as in other publications, that an electric field
reduces the viscosity of the fuel.
This viscosity reduction leads to much smaller fuel droplets and cleaner and more efficient
combustion.

22. WHITE ENERGY DEVICE
The White Energy Device (Ekol) consists of two solenoidal coils,
one for the fuel pipe (A) and one for the air pipe (B).
Coil A is connected to an electric circuit that it is constructed
to generate an electromagnetic field in the fuel pipe.
Coil B is connected to coil A and it also produces an
electromagnetic field.

23. By means of the electromagnetic field in the fuel
pipe, the White Energy device reduces:
• CO emission The Italian Research Center (CNR) has tested the device on
• CO2 emission cars with standardized tests and has found very positive results.
• HC emission We propose using the White Energy Device in ports. We think
• K emission that it will have even better results in marine motors because:
• Fuel consumption They are older than car motors;
The fuel is less refined;
Other companies using similar devices have better results
in marine motors than in cars.
Therefore the device will have a bigger impact.
