Generator
An internal combustion unit that produces gas or steam, or that changes mechanical energy into electrical energy.
Generator
1. A facility or mobile source that emits pollutants into the air or releases hazardous waste into water or soil. 2.
generator 1) A treatment works that produces residuals and sludge that is subject to further management. 2) A facility or mobile source that emits pollutants into the air or releases hazardous waste into water or soil. 3) Any person, by site, ...
Generator: The University of Chicago, for regulatory purposes, would be identified as the generator of potentially infectious waste, as defined in this policy and procedure.
Ozone generator: A device that generates ozone by passing a voltage through a chamber that contains oxygen. It is often used as a disinfection system.

SARA 312 GENERATORS
Facilities which are required by the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), also known as SARA Title III, to submit an inventory of the location and amount of hazardous chemicals which are located at a site.
Large Quantity Generator- Person or facility generating more than 2200 pounds of hazardous waste per month. Such generators produce about 90 percent of the nation's hazardous waste, and are subject to all RCRA requirements.

Small Quantity Generator (SQG-sometimes referred to as "Squeegee")
Persons or enterprises that produce 220-2200 pounds per month of hazardous waste; they are required to keep more records than conditionally exempt generators.
Generators were required to report to the EPA any facility at which hazardous wastes are, or have been, treated, stored, or disposed. The intent was to identify and clean up hazardous waste sites first, and then to litigate to recover costs.
Conditionally Exempt Generator
CEA- Cooperative Enforcement Agreement; Cost and Economic Assessment
CEAT- Contractor Evidence Audit Team

CEB- Chemical Element Balance ...
Most of the sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere comes from industrial process and the burning of fossil fuels (such as ore smelting, coal-fired power generators and natural gas processing). In 2000, SO2 emissions were measured at 14.
Cogeneration - A process in which power is produced by a gas-fired engine and generator set. Heat produced as part of this process is used as heating and/or cooling media.
Conditionally Exempt Generators (CE): Persons or enterprises which produce less than 220 pounds of hazardous waste per month.
Despite such efforts, though, the fast food industry is still a large generator of waste. Some communities are responding by passing local regulations requiring recycling where applicable.
The unique code assigned to each generator, transporter, and treatment, storage, or disposal facility by regulating agencies to facilitate identification and tracking of chemicals or hazardous waste.

It aims to separate the functions of generation -- the process used to create electricity where some form of energy is expended to drive a turbine, which in turn drives a generator which in turn produces electric current; ...
Potentially Responsible Party: Any individual or company-including owners, operators, transporters or generators-potentially responsible for, or contributing to a spill or other contamination at a Superfund site.
Diffuser: A component of the ozone contacting system in an ozone generator that allows diffusion of an ozone containing gas.
Diffusion: The movement of gas molecules or aerosols into liquids, caused by a concentration gradient.
As the wind blows over the blades of a wind turbine, it causes the blades to lift and rotate.
The rotating blades turn a shaft that is connected to a generator.
The generator creates electricity as it turns.

Transmitter: In resistivity and induced polarization (IP) surveys, where current is injected into the ground, it is a current waveform generator. In electromagnetic surveys, which induce currents in the ground, it is typically a loop or grounded wire.
and around the world use large ozone generators to decontaminate operating rooms between surgeries. The rooms are cleaned and then sealed airtight before being filled with ozone which effectively kills or neutralizes all remaining bacterium.
Hydroelectricity: Electric energy produced by water-powered turbine generators.
Combustion: The act or instance of burning some type of fuel such as gasoline to produce energy. Combustion is typically the process that powers automobile engines and power plant generators.
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG): (See alternative fuels.) ...
The blades collect the wind's energy as it goes over the blades because they slow down the speed of the wind; the blades are spun and the wind is slowed. The blades are connected to a drive shaft which is turning an electric generator to produce ...
This strategy will more effectively control interstate transport and international transport of greenhouse gases, and will require electric power generators in participating states to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
