Propane

replace toxic water is to replace water with a propane gel that will not pollute the environment and will not contaminate precious water. Propane gel has a “greater efficiency and the replacement of millions of gallons of water … the gel is typically made up of 90% propane … to give it the viscosity needed to carry proppant sand and other additives into fractures. The gel is a more efficient medium for carrying proppant than water” (Housely). The use of propane gas has a greater…

Senna hills, Ltd., granted Southern Union Co. the right to distribute propane in a residential subdivision. This was developed by Senna in exchange for a fee. Upon agreement Senna’s “right to receive a Fee shall continue for so long as the Propane System is owned by Southern Union.” In this agreement it also allowed Southern Union to assign the distribution right. At a later date Sonterra Energy Corp. bought the distribution system and was assigned the distribution right. When this happened…

This way after their horses had been stolen, they could have gotten in their tents and let the propane heater run and keep them warm until someone had come to find them. The propane heater could have also been used as some sort of stove to cook the game that they could have killed while waiting the ten days. Also, since the propane heater was mobile they could have packed it and started to make the trip back to the Poker Flats and whenever they felt as if they…

poisoning can cause a variety of health effects such as “nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, fatigue, headache, nervous, urinary, and reproductive system damage, and can eventually cause death” (OSHA 1995) if not treated properly. Compressed Oxygen and Propane are used in the process of melting the lead sticks…

On November 19, 1996 the Spokane area experienced the worst ice storm to ever happen in 60 years. So many residents went without power that it was also the worst power outage in 108 years. Four people lost their lives in and around Spokane and Kootenai counties. The storm costed $22 million in 1996 and $33 million in 2013. Before the freezing rain fell, there were 2-4 inches of snow. An inch and a half of freezing rain fell; coating trees, roads, vehicles, and power lines making roads…

Fossil Fuels are organic deposits derived from decaying plants and animals that have been fossilized over millions of years. There is more to them than that however they are also hydrocarbons comprised primarily of the following elements: carbon and hydrogen and some sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen, and minerals. Different combinations of these elements are used as a fuel for our everyday lives. This paper’s purpose is to explain some of the chemistry behind the use of these various fossil fuels as…

We live in an era that as a whole needs to look at using renewable sources of energy to sustain our way of living; not rely so heavily on the nonrenewable resources. The world has made many advancements from a primitive way of life to discovering fossil fuels. To now where technology has played a major part in creating ways of harnessing the wind, sun, geothermal and biomass and turning them into power. Many ask is it possible for a community to convert over to using renewable sources and the…

light fuel oil that is obtained by distilling petroleum and is used in internal combustion engines. Petrol is a fossil fuel which can be known as a natural gas, petrol can also be referred to as propane. Propane is liquefied petroleum gas, its a product of both crude oil and natural gas. Because propane is derived from these two fossil fuels, its effect on the environment can be difficult to separate out. What is known is that is a reasonably clean-burning fuel compared to diesel and gasoline.…

The light extinction method was developed based on the works of Piere Bouger, August Beer, and Johann Heinrich Lambert (1760). Bouger observed for the first time that the light intensity of a candle decreases when it passes trough a transparent medium and appointed the length and the medium property as the main parameter to explain the light extinction. The correlation of absorbance and light path was proposed by Lambert. Finally, Beer concluded that absorbance is also proportional to the…
