Monitoring Siltation
This 15-page White Paper is recommended reading for (A) those who are to create a sediment spill monitoring system, and (B) those who are to create permit rules and regulations for sediment spill monitoring. The paper is devidid in three parts: 1. Justification, why measure sediment spill 2. Advice for the creation of a spill monitoring system 3. Advice for the formulation of permit rules for ...

Sediment spill monitoring from dredging, using the SediMeter
Strategies for sediment spill monitoring and siltation measurements. The SediMeter allows a gradual increase in the equipment investment as conditions merit, from a single stand-alone logger, to a real-time monitoring network in which all previously purchased equipment can be included. Sediment spill causing siltation gives rise to two separate environmental problems: A suspended sediment plume ...

New DESMI Smart Boom - Superior Monitoring Boom Technology
The system combines proven DESMI oil spill containment boom with the Boom Guard Monitoring Buoy, an oil pollution monitoring device used to monitor for the presence of oil pollution within the boom containment area. If oil pollution is detected, the buoy transmits an alert via Iridium satellite in real time. The buoy also monitors location and heading and should the SMART BOOM drift, the buoy ...

Measuring total organic carbon in wastewater
The continuous TOC analysis of industrial waste water is known to be problematic especially, when the TOC analyser is used as a spill monitor for heavily polluted waste water containing a high-load of particles. Thus, most operators require analysers that enable accurate TOC (total organic carbon) measurements. But do they really get those? Common analysers suffer from clogging and blockages due ...

Empirical data and optimal monitoring policies: the case of four Russian sea harbours
In this paper, we describe the present state of empirical information about oil spills and oil monitoring activities in Russian harbours. We explain how we gathered, organised, and estimated the data needed to run the monitoring efforts optimisation model of Deissenberg et al. (2001). We present, analyse, and discuss the results of the optimisations carried out with this model on the basis of the ...

An empirically tractable model of optimal oil spills prevention in Russian sea harbours
Based on previous theoretical work by Gottinger (1997, 1998), we propose a simple model of optimal monitoring of oil-related activities in harbour areas that is suitable for empirical estimation within the Russian— Ukrainian context, in spite of the poor availability of data in these countries. Specifically, the model indicates how to best allocate at the steady state a given monitoring budget ...

Offshore oil spill clean up case study
In the event of a major incident occurring offshore, for example a tanker casualty running aground or breaking up for any reason, it is of paramount importance to deploy emergency response to protect and save human life. Once this has been done an assessment of the casualty should be made on whether it is possible to salvage the vessel and its contents and to assess the type and amount of oil ...

Visualizing the stories data can tell
Scientists and technologists are turning numbers about everything from condors to ocean-floor contours into visual representations of environmental issues. We’re living in an era of Big Data, but too often it’s nothing more than a fire hose of numbers and data sets that most would have difficulty understanding. Increasingly, though, entities such as non-governmental organizations, ...

Detect and Clean Up Oil Spills - Case Study
700 million litres of oil enters the ocean every year through boat spills, leaks and intentional discharges. Our boats can monitor for oil spills, detect intentional dumping and aid in the clean up ...

MS1200 Oil in water monitor protects water treatment plant from spill - Case Study
FULL STORY In November 2018,a Multisensor MS1200 was responsible for saving a water treatment plant in the UK from the disastrous conse-quences of a Kerosene spill entering the works. The monitor, installed in October 2014, is lo-cated at an intake from a canal which is used to serve a treatment works a few miles away. The original spillage was from dumpedoil. ...

A REC is a REC, right? Wrong!
A Recognized Environmental Condition, or REC for short, is a term everyone involved in a commercial property transaction is familiar with. It is a potential problem area for the perspective commercial property buyer, a red flag to the lender, and often a headache for the seller and buyer both. Officially defined by ASTM International (ASTM, E-1527-05) as “the presence or likely presence of any ...

Inland oil spill clean up case study
Introduction The essential strategy for inland spill clean up techniques should be containment, recovery and temporary storage. Secondary needs will include transportation and possible disposal - or recycling. It is important to discover the source of the spill which might not be straight forward. A steady slow seepage from a leaking disused oil storage tank may be very difficult to trace. ...

Level Measurement 101: Importance, Types, & Sensor Selection
What is level measurement? Level measurement is the process of measuring the level of a liquid or solid material inside a tank, silo, container or other vessel. Measurement is calculated from the distance between the liquid or solid material surface and a predetermined reference point, such as the top of a tank. Level measurement is typically expressed in feet or meters and can also be given as a ...

Pipeline Integrity Monitoring Overview
Understanding Pipeline Integrity Pipeline integrity is all about keeping pipelines operating properly throughout their life cycle. From design and construction to maintenance and inspection to decommissioning and retirement, pipeline integrity engineers work to ensure pipelines and their related components are reliable, sustainable, and safe throughout their service life. Pipeline integrity can ...

Source Water Monitoring Guide for Drinking Water Treatment
The purpose of source water monitoring is to enable drinking water treatment facilities to identify changes in water quality, implement treatment strategies based on the characteristics of the water, optimize the treatment processes, and take preventative actions to protect the source water from intentional and accidental contamination. Unexpected changes in water quality or the presence of ...

Management of Hazardous Wastes
' Management of hazardous waste is a growing concern in many countries. The long-term impacts and costs of improper disposal can be very high and the emphasis must be on prevention. A comprehensive management system should include (i) policies, institutions and effective regulations and (ii) adequate and acceptable disposal facilities (either public or private). This note outlines the key ...
