    摘要: An oil spill cleanup device is described. The device includes a container and at least one flexible hollow elongated member extending from the container. The device floats in water and can be used to collect and separate oil from the contaminated water. Water is collected by the elongated member, which has several exterior one-way valves that allow contaminated water to enter the member. The contaminated water is pushed towards and into the container by the wave motions of the surrounding water. The elongated member has internal one-way valves that help to direct the contaminated water towards the container. Once in the container, the contaminated water can separate into water and oil due to differences in specific gravity. Multiple devices can be connected together to form a barrier for containing the contaminated water within a limited area.

    摘要: A plant for treating a feed gas (1) having an H2S concentration of less than 10% and comprising carbon dioxide, comprising: a first absorber (51) fluidly coupled to a regenerator (53), wherein the first absorber (51) is configured to promote absorption of hydrogen sulfide from a feed gas (1) by a portion of a lean hydrogen-sulfide-selective solvent (10, 19, 20, 21, 2), and wherein the regenerator (53) is configured to produce the lean hydrogen sulfide-selective solvent (10, 19, 20, 21, 2) and to promote formation of a hydrogen-sulfide rich gas (9) from the hydrogen-sulfide selective solvent (4, 7, 34, 35, 36, 8); a second absorber (72) fluidly coupled to the regenerator (53) and further configured to receive another portion of the lean solvent (10, 19, 20, 21, 32), wherein a portion (17) of the hydrogen sulfide-rich gas (9) of the regenerator (53) is fed to the first absorber (51) to thereby allow for an increase in a hydrogen sulfide concentration in the hydrogen-sulfide-rich gas (9) whose formation is promoted by the regenerator (53); a Claus plant (70) that receives another portion (18) of the hydrogen-sulfide-rich gas (9) of the regenerator (53) and produces a tail gas (30) that is fed to a hydrogenation unit (71) to produce a hydrogenated gas that is fed to the second absorber (72); and wherein the first and second absorbers (51, 52/72) are configured to allow production of an overhead product (3, 23, 24, 33) that is enriched in carbon dioxide and substantially depleted in hydrogen sulfide.

    摘要: Risk management systems and methods for plant EPCCOM are described. The system comprises a risk management database for storing risk objects, each object representing a real-world risk mitigation factor. A risk recommendation engine is communicatively coupled to the risk management database and is configured to provide recommendations for mitigating and managing risks as a function of efficacy attributes of the risk objects. The efficacy attributes represent the effectiveness of previously implemented and/or simulated risk mitigation strategies. The efficacy attributes are preferably multi-variable dependent and are defined by prioritizing and weighing different objectives.
