Mineral Biotechnology: Microbial Aspects of Mineral by S. Komar Kawatra, K. A. Natarajan

By S. Komar Kawatra, K. A. Natarajan

Microorganisms can play a precious function in all features of minerals processing, from mining to waste disposal and administration. the industrial perform of biohydrometallurgical steel extraction happens around the world. Mineral Biotechnology offers the technical wisdom essential to compete during this area by way of providing particular, unique applied sciences and real-world case studies.

Detailed book 196. Exhumation of the North Atlantic Margin: Timing, Mechanisms and Implications for Petroleum Exploration. Northwest Europe has gone through repeated episode of exhumation (the publicity of previously buried rocks) as a result of such elements as post-orogenic unroofing, rift-shoulder uplift, hotspot job, compressive tectonics, eustatic seal-level switch, glaciation and isostatic re-adjustment.

Common Well Control Hazards

Seriously illustrated with 900 photographs of tangible good regulate websites, universal good regulate risks: id and Countermeasures presents a visible illustration of 177 universal good keep watch over risks and the way to avoid or counteract them. the ideal significant other for any engineer who must advance and practice their ability extra successfully, this “plain language” consultant covers universal good regulate gear equivalent to: BOP regulate process, BOP manifold, kill manifold, drilling fluid restoration pipes, IBOP instruments, liquid gasoline separator, and fireplace, explosion & H2S prevention.

2010 used to be a defining 12 months for the offshore oil and gasoline within the usa. On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) floating drilling rig suffered a catastrophic explosion and fireplace. 11 males died within the explosion ― 17 others have been injured. the hearth, which burned for an afternoon and a part, ultimately despatched the complete rig to the ground of the ocean.

Designing for Human Reliability: Human Factors Engineering in the Oil, Gas, and Process Industries

Underestimates the level to which behaviour at paintings is stimulated through the layout of the operating surroundings. Designing for Human Reliability argues that larger know-how of the contribution of layout to human errors can considerably increase HSE functionality and increase go back on funding. Illustrated with many examples, Designing for Human Reliability explores why paintings platforms are designed and applied such that "design-induced human blunders" turns into more-or-less inevitable.
