Pipeline transport entails the movement of goods from on point to another through a pipe. Various chemically stable liquids and gases are transported through a pipeline. Primarily, pipelines are used to move crude and refined petroleum including oil, natural gas, and bio-fuels. Pipelines also move beer, water, slurry and sewerage. Construction of oil pipelines has often been a subject of great concern to many people. key concerns are often related to environmental and economic impacts of the…
advancements in modern technology and society, there are innumerable amounts of ways to fuel and support a population efficiently. Some of these innumerable ways include fossil fuels and renewable energy. Fossil fuels are defined as a natural fuel, such as coal or gas, formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms. Renewable energy is defined as energy from a source that is not depleted when used, such as wind or solar power. Fossil fuels and renewable energy both provide…
wastewater has on the ground water and seismic geology of the region. Generally speaking, hydraulic fracking is the process of drilling a hole and pumping water mixed with various chemicals and sand to fracture the rock, releasing the oil and natural gas for it to be brought back up to the surface. After they drill the initial hole for the well, they inject a series of cocktails with various purposes to ready the well for full functionality. First they inject acids in order to clear cement…
efficient and economical unit for commercial as well as residential use. Also, it is inevitable part of water supply system, and extensively used for storage and processing of variety of liquid like material such as water, petroleum product, liquefied natural gas, chemical fluid and wastage of different forms. Underground water storage tanks (Fig. 1) and (Fig. 2) requires to look for are strength and durability. Leakages can also be avoided by identifying good construction practices. …
In addition to not exhausting natural resources, their main advantage is, in most cases, total absence of almost any air emissions or waste products. In other words, Solar Energy can almost be considered as an absolute clean and safe energy source (Tsoutsos, et al.,2005). Not to mention…
rock and the natural fluid that is contained in its fractures and pores at temperatures above ambient levels. Globally, the most commonly used geothermal resources for power generation are convective hydrothermal systems that are found in high heat flow and volcanic regions associated with tectonic plate boundaries such as west coast of the USA, New Zealand, and Indonesia. These resources…

compounds, thereby; chemists use this information to develop new materials and substances. There are a number of career paths in chemistry such as biochemistry, industrial chemistry, electrochemistry, polymer chemistry and much more. While all the other field names speak for themselves, industrial chemistry deals with the large-scale processing of chemicals and chemical products for industrial and consumer uses. Industrial chemistry plays a vital role as an applied science in areas that…
demand. So, by using mixed power generation and natural gas power, it can help with high power demand and also have base power supply for too much power demand. This article portrays many solutions to the wind and nuclear power that will change the view of what others think about it. This article is useful and important for this class because it lets me examine how writers in my field write. It also gives me tips and details on how an article in my field would look like and…
