Facts about Tech Diving You Should Know The conventional limit exceeded by the form of scuba diving specially the recreational diving’s bottom time and depth is known as tech diving. It is also known as Technical Diving. The Technical and Recreational Scuba Diving can be distinguished with lots of differences. According to many people, there are not any obvious differences between Tech and Recreational Diving. They think that ‘diving is diving’ and it is useless to divide it into different types…

exhaustion of non - renewable energy resources such as coal, crude oil and natural gas. It has also caused severe adverse environmental impacts such as climate change, global warming, loss of biodiversity and health hazards.In the present scenario, Renewable Energy is considered as a strategic commodity, as it plays a significant role in meeting the energy requirements of the future. It is the energy which is generated from natural resources such as sunlight, geothermal heat, wind, tides,…

Brent Spar was first installed in Brent Field in June 1976 (Kirby 1998). This oil platform is designed as a huge floating production stage facility and owned by Shell and Esso for business purposes which including oil storage and tanker loading. After serving for 15 years, Shell decided to abandon the platform by dumping it into deep water sea with the approval of the UK Government (Kirby 1998). In 1995, Shell announced the granted dispose plan to the world. However, this has been strongly…

Organizational Stakeholder of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). BHP Billiton practices its sustainability initiatives around the four major areas: 1. Minimizing environmental incidents resulting out of any of its operations 2. Maintaining greenhouse gas emissions below Financial Year 2006 levels while continuing to grow their operations 3. Having systems in place to develop dedicated management…

Nuclear fuel or coal seam gas? In this work two different possible sources which can be used for electricity generation i.e., nuclear fuel and coal seam gas are compared. Starting with coal seam gas, technical, economical, environmental, and health related aspects of each source is discussed. Finally, a recommendation is made based on the ethical, environmental and economical assessment of each possible source of energy. “Dewatering” is the main part of extracting CSG which means pumping out…

Within a few hours after the ICMESA facility gas release, over 37,000 people throughout the Seveso area were exposed to unprecedented levels of dioxin. Among the first to suffer, however, were the area's animals. This can be promptly seen in the chicken and rabbit population; chickens and rabbits…

The NOx Problem 1. History of Diesel The diesel engine is a Compression Ignition (CI) Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) that was invented by Rudolf Diesel, a German engineer in 1892. Unlike a Sparked Ignition (SI) engine, Diesel designed the engine to run on vegetable oil, more specifically peanut oil. 2. CI vs SI, the difference As its name suggests, the CI engine’s ignition of the air-fuel mixture is caused by the mechanism compression rather than a spark from a spark plug of SI engine. This…

Repercussions for engineers working for Union Carbide in Bhopal and consequences for Union Carbide following Bhopal disaster. In 3 December 1984 there was a gas tragedy in Bhopal, the capital of the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. People around the city were in chaotic motion all trying to escape the toxic gas cloud that resulted from the gas leakage from the plant owned by the Union Carbide Corporation that its aim was to produce Methyl Isocyanate, toxic constituent of pesticide Sevin. It was…

found that the cores were too weak due to an engineering flaw when curing the concrete. Engineers in an effort to save time on the project moved to accelerate the curing process. In order to accelerate the process nitrogen gas was added to the concrete mixture. The nitrogen gas expedited the curing process however there was a cost the came with the accelerated curing. The cores produced using the accelerated process were found to be too weak to withstand certain pressure surges caused by the…

been debated as being an irresponsible technique for oil and natural gas recovery from shale beds in the earth. Some environmentalists have made claims that hydraulic fracturing practices employed by oil and gas drilling companies have caused ground water contamination, leakage of methane gas into the atmosphere, and even claims that fracking can increase the chance of an earthquake taking place (Loki 8). An industry so large as oil and gas that can have an impact on the environment from small…
