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 ...

Oil Monitoring in Trans-Border River Uh Between Ukraine and Slovakia
The Problem: Long-term contamination of Uh river by waste motor oil, aircraft fuel, etc., being by-products of Russian army bases on Ukrainian part of the border. Slocakia needed to protect its rivers from this pollution by early oil warning systems on Uh river, since it flows into other rivers, flowing into Black Sea. The Solution: Sample water is taken from river surface by float sampler and ...

Oil Level Sensors: Monitoring Oil-Water Interface for Separation Efficiency
Overview In the extraction of petroleum (oil) by hydraulic fracturing, oil flows to the well emulsified with fracturing water. As part of the extraction operation, oil and water are separated at the well site. Separation also occurs at the refinery, where crude oil from the well site contains water that must be removed before refining. Separation vessels or separators are used for the process, ...

Colour Measurement as a Tool for Monitoring Oil Quality
This paper takes a look at the many factors known to have a direct or indirect impact on the quality of oil and the diverse range of different measurement devices have been developed for this purpose, such as relative humidity and absolute water content indicators, particle calculators, dielectric sensors, oxidisation indicators (TAN value), viscosity meters and colour analysers. It explains the ...

E-guide for Measuring TAN and TBN in Oil
Monitoring TAN and TBN is an important test for measuring lubricant condition. There are several methods available ranging from expensive laboratory methods to quick field tests. In a laboratory setting, methods are chosen based on the highest accuracy and repeatability that can be achieved with a decent throughput. Out in the field, it is most important to get a trustworthy result quickly enough ...

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 ...

Oil prices will rise without climate change deal
International Energy Agency predicts price per oil barrel can rise to $135 by 2035 without agreement on global climate change policies. According to predictions done by the International Energy Agency (IEA), failing to implement ambitious global climate change policies and cut fossil fuel subsidies will see oil prices skyrocket over the next two decades. The IEA is the global body tasked with ...

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 ...

Understanding Oil-in-Water Instrument Specifications
The measurement capabilities of oil-in-water analysis methods are described by several analytical figures-of-merit. Examples are: Range (Linear and Dynamic) Limit of Detection (LOD) Limit of Quantification (LOQ) Precision (Repeatability and Reproducibility) Sensitivity Accuracy Response Time Some or all of these are often specified by customers in the bid packages issued when selecting a ...

Surfactant-assisted oil-in-water monitoring
A variety of common surfactants have been used to reduce fouling and enhance the performance of fluorescence-based oil-in-water monitors. Among the most effective are the alcohol ethoxylates with HLB values close to 12. Examples are SurfonicTM L24-9 (Hunstman, USA, HLB 13) and TergitolTM 15-S-7 (HLB 12.1). These surfactants readily convert heterogeneous oil/water mixtures into homogeneous, ...

Monitoring Water Concentration in Oil
How does water enter the oil? Routinely monitoring water concentration in oil is an important part of any oil condition monitoring program. Water can enter the oil as a result of environmental conditions, condensation from cooler areas of the equipment, and/or compromised seal integrity. Three phases of water Ideally, water remains in its dissolved state, dispersed molecule-by-molecule ...

Introduction to Fluorescence for Oil in Water Monitoring
Fluorescence can be found in many applications throughout our day-to-day routines. Commercially, one of the most obvious uses is in fluorescent lighting. For this, fluorescence is used to emit light from a tube without the use of heat, unlike standard incandescent light bulbs that require a heated element. In this example, fluorescence also contributes to energy conservation efforts. At ...

New oil spill response application note from China
The Problem: Oil may spill out in the process of oil exploration & development, refining, storage and transportation and enter into open water environment like oceanic environment due to incident or incorrect operation. Oil spill damages include to human heath, safety, ecological environment, aquaculture. In China, the State Oceanic Administration requires the oil content in the discharge to ...

A Guide to Oil in Water Monitoring for Environmental Compliance
Applications for industrial oil in water monitoring can vary greatly. In upstream and midstream oil and gas production applications, monitoring separation efficiencies is key to optimize production rates, preventative maintenance, chemical use, flow, and environmental compliance. Separated water from the oil is called produced water and it must be cleaned of oil before disposal or re-injection. ...
