Review & Description

The signaling system 7 (SS7) control system that is used in public switched telephone networks (PSTN) can be interconnected to other types of systems and networks using Internet Protocol (IP). Some of the interconnection issues relate to how the control of devices can be performed using dissimilar systems (e.g. mixing voice and data systems). Another key reason fur interconnecting SS7 network devices to IP data networks is the cost savings that result from avoiding the access charges for connect equipment to SS7 systems and databases. This excerpted chapter from SS7 Basics, 2nd Edition provides an overview of how SS7 and Internet Protocol (IP) can be integrated. It is an introduction on how SS7 messages can be transported over IP networks (even the Internet in some cases) and how SS7 can interface with other systems (such as IP Telephony systems). It provides a description of the signaling transport (SIGTRAN) system and how it uses SCTP packet transmission protocol to reliably send telephone call control messages across connectionless data networks. Explained are the adaptation layers M3UA, M2UA, M2PA, SUA, and IUA that are used to interconnect SS7 nodes via IP systems. Overviews of SIP, MGCP, MEGACO, and H.323 IP telephone systems are provided.

Description:
Plasma gasification/vitrification is a technologically advanced and environmentally friendly method of disposing of waste, converting it to commercially usable by-products. This process is a drastic non-incineration thermal process, which uses extremely high temperatures in an oxygen-starved environment to completely decompose input waste material into very simple molecules. The intense and versatile heat generation capabilities of plasma technology enable a plasma gasification/vitrification facility to treat a large number of waste streams in a safe and reliable manner. The by-products of the process are a combustible gas and an inert slag. Plasma gasification consistently exhibits much lower environmental levels for both air emissions and slag leachate toxicity than other thermal technologies. In the framework of a LIFE-Environment project, financed by Directorate General Environment and Viotia Prefecture in Greece, a pilot plasma gasification/vitrification system was designed, constructed and installed in Viotia Region in order to examine the efficiency of this innovative technology in treating industrial hazardous waste. The pilot plant, which was designed to treat up to 50kg waste/h, has two main sections: (i) the furnace and its related equipment and (ii) the off-gas treatment system, including the secondary combustion chamber, quench and scrubber.
