Characterizing water quality monitoring visualization with Hadoop and Google Maps
In water quality monitoring, the complexity and abstraction of water environment data make it difficult for staff to monitor the data efficiently and intuitively. Visualization of water quality data is an important part of the monitoring and analysis of water quality. Because water quality data have geographic features, their visualization can be realized using maps, which not only provide ...

Calibrating Gasoline Range Organics (GROs) using an automated dilution scheme with the Atomx Concentrator/Multimatrix Autosampler
Abstract In developing the Atomx Automated Sample Prep System, Teledyne Tekmar integrated both a P&T concentrator and a multi-matrix autosampler into a single platform system that can be used in the analysis of soil, water, and soils requiring methanol extraction. This “all-in-one” setup has allowed for greatly increased throughput and efficiency through the built in features it ...

Failure analysis showing the effect of sulphur content in stainless steel on the resistance to stress corrosion cracking in marine environments at ambient temperatures
The risk of environmentally assisted cracking in downhole components is high due to sour conditions, i.e. the presence of hydrogen sulphide. Therefore a range of materials possessing excellent corrosion resistance are employed. However, corrosion is not only downhole related but is also a common problem on the platform deck itself due to airborne salts from ocean spray. For this reason the ...

A multi‐attribute decision analysis for decommissioning offshore oil and gas platforms
The 27 oil and gas platforms off the coast of southern California are reaching the end of their economic lives. Because their decommissioning involves large costs and potential environmental impacts, this became an issue of public controversy. As part of a larger policy analysis conducted for the State of California, we implemented a decision analysis as a software tool (PLATFORM) to clarify ...

Comply with Highly Regulated Oil in Water Measurements Using Portable Infrared Analyzers
The Petroleum Industry – both offshore and onshore -- has regulations that limit the amount of oil in discharged water. Fixed filter infrared (IR) analyzers have been used to test oil levels in produced water on drilling platforms for over 45 years for a number of reasons. On oil rigs where real estate is at a premium, infrared analyzers such as the Wilks InfraCal TOG/TPH Analyzers are ...

World leading in five thematic areas by 2017
With its vision for a “water wise world”, the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) recently produced its 2013-2017 strategy, placeing its various programmes and activities within five thematic areas: Climate Change; Transboundary Water Management; Water Governance; Water, Energy and Food Nexus; and Water Economics. In the following two pages, we highlight why we work with ...

Harnessing Data for Sustainable Water Management: The Role of Water Quality Sensors
Water is a vital resource for sustaining life and supporting various ecosystems. However, the growing population and increasing industrialization have put immense pressure on water resources, leading to concerns about water scarcity and deteriorating water quality. To address these challenges, sustainable water management practices are essential. This article explores the role of water quality ...

Portable IR Analyzers Provide Petroleum & Wastewater Industries with Accurate Oil Content Measurements
Fixed filter infrared (IR) analyzers have been used to test oil levels in produced water on off-shore and on-shore drilling platforms for well over 45 years. U.S. EPA methods 418.1 and 413.2 were used extensively on a worldwide basis until the Montreal Protocol called for Freon (the solvent used in the analysis) to be phased out. Infrared analysis using tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene) is ...

What the Wastewater Industry can learn from the Petroleum Industry when it comes to measuring oil in water
I recently read a comment in the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson that different divisions within a company do just what the name implies—divide a business. Integration across and communication between the departments was essential to smooth functioning product. I think the same is true in the analytical analysis/measurement world—there seems to be a divide in communication ...
