No. 244 EE: Evaluation of Vascular Stent’s Patency Using Ultra-Short TE MRI

Natural organic matter (NOM) has been shown to be one of the major parameters that affects water quality and treatment processes. NOM reduces the effectiveness of water treatment by interfering with the flocculation process, makes treatment with activated carbon and membrane filtration less efficient and is a precursor to the formation of disinfectant by-products (DBP). Furthermore, NOM acts as a food source for micro-organisms resulting in bacterial regrowth in distribution systems. These concerns have resulted in the removal of NOM from raw water being of prime concern for water authorities. The elevated levels of NOM in Australian water supplies have resulted in priority being given to research into methods of removing NOM by the Australian Water Quality Centre (AWQC). Early work showed that some types of anion exchange resins were very effective for NOM removal and that while resin column systems were rapidly fouled by waters with high concentration of suspended matter, a stirred system had no such limitation. This lead to the development of a resin with a high adsorptive capacity for NOM by the Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in collaboration with the AWQC which will be manufactured under licence by Orica Australia Pty Ltd. This resin then formed the basis for a novel process for NOM removal developed by the AWQC in collaboration with Orica Australia Pty Ltd. Both the MIEX® resin and process have been patented internationally. This paper outlines the process, gives examples of some of the benefits and provides recent results from an operating pilot plant with a capacity 160 kL/day.

Evaluation of a radiometric method for the determination of total and unsaturated iron binding capacities

Electronic charts have come more and more into use for marine navigation. If complying with the relevant international standards they are an accepted substitute to the mandatory carriage of paper nautical charts. However, the potential of such official, high-quality electronic chart data goes far beyond the use for navigation. In order to show its potential, the basic concepts and features of official electronic charts as a marine geographic information data base are explained and the relation of Hydrographic Offices responsible for their production, to Maritime Administrations is described. The data standard to be followed for electronic charts opens the use of the data for a wide range of possible applications. If efficiently organised, Maritime Administrations can be provided with a powerful, versatile database establishing a single geographic reference data base for e.g. Vessel Traffic Services, for Search and Rescue as well as for various applications in Coastal Zone Management including coastal protection and marine environmental protection. Ultimately, digital marine geographic information will become part of the evolving global spatial data infrastructure.

Barriers and Coping Strategies of Women with Gestational Diabetes to Follow Dietary Advice

Esso Australia Pty Ltd, on behalf of the Esso/BHP Petroleum Joint Venture, recently completed Australia’s first deepwater oil and gas subsea development, Blackback, in Bass Strait. The project consisted of fabrication and installation of new facilities for the existing Mackerel platform, fabrication and installation of a 23 km pipeline and the installation of three subsea wells. The facilities were installed injury-free. This paper focusses on the application of safety systems to achieve this result.The Project.The vision of a zero Total Recordable Injury (TRI)-free workplace.Management commitment and leadership.Application of effective safety management systems.Empowering safety leadership.Taking the Blackback story further.Safety performance and other business outcomes.Conclusions/accomplishments lessons learnt and recommendations.

ExxonMobil subsidiary Esso Australia Pty Ltd has implemented a sand management system to minimise the impact of sand to its operations in the Bass Strait. Some of these facilities have been in operation for more than 30 years and no downhole sand control was installed during original drilling completions. Over time, with increased water production, sand production has become more problematic. This paper examines the strategies used to minimise the impact of sand production on facilities including the impact of corrosion and erosion on downhole, offshore topsides, pipeline and onshore plant infrastructure. The sand management system includes detailed operational instructions for flowing wells, monitoring sand production, and installing retrofit sand control where required. The system also defines a management structure with assigned responsibilities to ensure that operational guidelines are followed and continuous improvement opportunities are implemented.

The Electronic Chart (EC) is a generic name for a new class of bridge management systems for use on board commercial shipping and recreational vessels. Its’ widespread use will cause fundamental changes in the way in which Hydrographic Offices (HO’s) like the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) manage and distribute its’ products since to be effective it must allow the user to have some manipulative control over the presentation of the chart data. This can have obvious catastrophic safety and legal implications unless Hydrographic Offices retain some control over minimum standard display sets. Since EC technology is still in its’ formative stage, it is difficult to predict in which form information will be displayed. However, it seems certain that given progress in the various enabling technologies such as global navigation, data storage, artificial intelligence and very high speed integrated circuitry, some form of bridge management system which incorporates an electronic chart-like feature will emerge in significant quantities. This situation gives the motivation for CHS’s interest and experiments in this field. Interested readers are referred to the Proceedings of the Joint Workshop, “The Electronic Chart”, April 19, 1985, held in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada, for more information and an extensive list of references on this subject.
