Facilitating Knowledge Sharing Between China and Other Countries
China has much to learn and much knowledge to share with the rest of the world. The McIlvaine Company is endeavoring to facilitate this exchange with the following initiatives:
1. Global Decisions Orchard (GDO)
An organized system is provided to the world’s knowledge with search words precisely classified and published in Chinese as well as English.

2. Niche expert access
Niche experts are being engaged to identify Chinese problems and needs as well as solutions.
3. Company identifications in Chinese and English.
Each parent company (financial entity) is provided with a number and identified in Chinese and English.

4. Products and services are decisively classified in English and Chinese.
The Global Decision Orchard search system allows the searcher to find answers. It also helps to make decisions by decisively classifying options. All decision making is a sequence of classifications. Optimization of choices and optimization of the sequences assures the best decisions.
Here is an example:
China is installing a number of selective catalytic reduction systems. The U.S. experienced catalyst deterioration at a faster rate than Europe. As a result, a large industry has been created to maintain the catalytic performance.
McIlvaine assembled a group of experts and obtained consensus that there are three ways to improve catalytic performance. The date is now entered into the McIlvaine Decisive Classification System as follows:

Catalyst Maintenance |
Cleaning Catalyst |
|
|
催化剂除灰 |
A dry process that utilizes vacuum and compressed air to mechanically remove as much of the fly ash accumulation as possible. |
Catalyst Maintenance |
Regeneration Catalyst |
|
|
催化剂再生 |
“Catalyst cleaning” followed by a wet chemical process to remove decay compounds plus re-impregnation of the catalytic compound(s). |
Catalyst Maintenance |
Rejuvenation Catalyst |
|
|
催化剂复原 |
“Catalyst cleaning” followed by a wet chemical process to remove some decay compounds with minimum removal of catalytic compound(s). There is no re-impregnation of the catalytic compound(s). |
Some decisive classifications will be unique to China. Regulations under structure and other factors make it desirable to make unique classifications by country.
An example is the new U.S. EPA regulation limiting power plant toxic metals. Validation of performance can be achieved by two methods.
a. Agree to meet a lower fine particulate limit.
b. Measure the toxic metals separately. These plants also have to monitor mercury. So here are the options for measuring both mercury and fine particulate.
1. Mass Particulate Monitor (lower limit) and mercury monitor.
2. Mass Particulate monitor (higher limit) and monitor metals.
The creation of this knowledge sharing system will be evolutionary due to its ambitious scope. It already is providing value. An extensive effort is underway to improve this value.
