terms of its impact on people‚ property‚ or the environment‚ it is not uncommon to assemble several teams of investigators to seek the cause of the incident independently. In the United States‚ a large-magnitude event may be investigated by the company that owns the facility‚ the insurance group that provides the liability coverage‚ federal investigators (e.g.‚ OSHA‚ EPA)‚ and state and local regulatory agencies. When several investigations are being conducted concurrently‚ in spite of the differing

Greenhouse gas emission What is greenhouse gas? A greenhouse gas is a gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal infrared range. Many greenhouse gases occur naturally‚ such as water vapor‚ carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ nitrous oxide‚ and ozone. Others such ashydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)‚perfluorocarbons (PFCs)‚ andsulfur hexafluoride (SF6) result only from human industrial processes. Greenhouse gases act like a blanket around Earth‚ trapping energy in the atmosphere and causing

“THE GAS MAN COMETH” The documentary‚ “Gas Land”‚ by Josh Fox‚ is a film about the problems with contaminated groundwater due to excessive and unregulated natural gas extraction across the country. In the film‚ Fox travels all over to talk to many people who have rented out their land to natural gas companies‚ only to get contaminated water and no help from any company or organization with the problems that ensue. Fox uses many techniques in his film to get across his point that America should

The purpose of this lab was to use gas chromatography to determine the relative amounts of the three components of gas products from the dehydration reaction of 1- and 2-Butanol with sulfuric acid and the dehydrobromination reaction of 1- and 2-Bromobutane with potassium tert-butoxide. E1 reactions are two-step unimolecular reactions. The first step of an E1 reaction occurs when a leaving group‚ which consists of a weak base‚ leaves an organic compound‚ leaving an intermediate carbocation. In the

After the Bhopal gas disaster in 1984‚ the Indian legislation governing safety and environment underwent significant changes.Specifically‚the factories Act was amended to assign the responsibility of the “occupier”‚who is legally responsible for the safety of the workplace and workers‚to the highest level of management in an organization. For a company this meant that one of the directors on the board had to be designated as “occupier”.The Environmental legislation also underwent changes ‚with the

Understanding Gas-Condensate Reservoirs How does a company optimize development of a gas-condensate field‚ when depletion leaves valuable condensate fluids in a reservoir and condensate blockage can cause a loss of well productivity? Gas-condensate fields present this puzzle. The first step must be to understand the fluids and how they flow in the reservoir. Li Fan College Station‚ Texas‚ USA Billy W. Harris Wagner & Brown‚ Ltd.

Engineering Workshop 1 Exhaust Gas Treatment Index of contents Introduction Waste gas with harmful traces of gas must be burned in an afterburner. To destroy the harmful traces the temperature after the burner must achieve 900°C. The preheater can`t resist a temperature of 700°C. Therefore quench water in a mixer will be used to protect the heat exchanger. The waste gas has the following properties: Waste gas composition: Mole fraction(= 0‚9890

Shale Gas(셰일 가스) Shale is one of the most common sedimentary rocks in the world and it is primarily composed of clay and fragments of other minerals such as quartz and calcite. Shale can be the source‚ reservoir and the seal for natural gas. Shale formations normally have low permeability (limited ability for gas or fluids to flow easily through the shale formation) and normally require stimulation techniques (such as fracturing) to economically produce shale gas. Shale gas is natural gas that
