A start-up method for a methanation process wherein a plurality of catalyst beds are used. The method comprises heating a first catalyst bed to a suitable temperature and thereafter charging a synthesis gas in mixture with an inert diluent to the first catalyst bed. The product stream from the first catalyst bed contains an excess of hydrogen and is passed to a second catalyst bed thereby heating the second catalyst bed. At least a portion of the product stream from the first catalyst bed is recycled to form the inert diluent used with the synthesis gas stream passed to the first catalyst bed.

The data storage system is connected to a local area network and includes a storage server that on a demand basis and/or on a periodically scheduled basis audits the activity on each volume of each data storage device that is connected to the network. Low priority data files are migrated via the network and the storage server to backend data storage media, and the directory resident in the data storage device is updated with a placeholder entry to indicate that this data file has been migrated to backend storage. When the processor requests this data file, the placeholder entry enables the storage server to recall the requested data file to the data storage device from which it originated.

Several forms of surface impeller for aeration of liquids are disclosed. All of the forms are of the shrouded or closed turbine type. In one form, the impeller has a large-diameter flat steel horizontal upper disc adapted to be secured to the lower end of a vertically disposed rotatable drive shaft. Secured, as by welding, to the undersurface of the upper disc are a plurality, such as six or eight or other number, of vertical blades at uniform spacing. Each blade is curved in a retreating or backward direction relative to the direction of rotation of the impeller. Each blade has a long or deep vertical inner edge located forward of the center axis of rotation. The lower edge of each blade is inclined upwardly toward a relatively short or shallow vertical outer edge located near the outer periphery of the upper disc. The horizontal innermost portion of the otherwise inclined bottom edge of each blade is welded to a small lower tie plate. The long vertical inner edge of each blade is welded continuously to the face of the next proceeding blade, thereby to form a hollow hexagonal liquid-tight chamber extending along the axis of rotation from the upper disc to the lower tie plate.

An inflatable spherical device is disclosed made of two hemispherical shells or sections that are fastened together by a quick disengageable means, such as a zipper. Each hemispherical shell is made of an outer flexible skin and an inner flexible skin, concentrically spaced apart and having an annular circular flat member bonded by its outer periphery to the periphery of the outer skin and by its inner periphery to the periphery of the inner skin, forming a hemispherical air-tight compartment. Means are provided to inflate each shell. To maintain the outer and inner skins evenly spaced apart and to provide ventilation through the shells, a plurality of flexible wall tubes are disposed between the outer and inner skins. The respective ends of the tubes are bonded to suitable apertures in each of the outer and inner skins.
