NORM reduction strategies Sample Clauses

NORM reduction strategies. To reduce the amount of the naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) in flowback water, or at least facilitate their treatment, we pursued two parallel strategies: one based on the addition of anti-scale agents and a second one that exploit the effect of magnetic field on the precipitation of salts that contain radioactive isotopes. By effectively reducing the precipitation of scale like SrSO4, which contain one of the most abundant NORM like Sr2+, anti-scale agents contribute to reduce NORM concentration in the flow-back water, in addition to the prevention of pipes obstruction. The second strategy is based on the application of a magnetic field (≈ 0.4 T) combined with a temperature of 60°C. The precipitation of the most abundant scales begins at this temperature, which is reached by the fluid at a certain depth in the vertical section of the different the xxxxx. The simultaneous effect of magnetic field and medium-high temperature leads to an overall reduction of the precipitated scales and a reduction in their sizes, as it is shown in Figure 16. Figure 16: Optical microscopy images about the precipitation of CaCO3, SrCO3 and BaCO3 when a magnetic field of ≈0.4 T is applied at 25 °C (top) and at 60 °C (bottom). All the scale bars are 100 µm.

With this approach, the organization will have minimal potential impact on the environment and reduce regulatory risk. To accomplish this, requirements will be established by policy, periodic communications shall occur, and audits will be utilized to provide feedback for improvement.

  • Strategies The ESC will seek to achieve employment stability strategies as follows: - current and multi-year strategies should be developed within the resources available. Such strategies could include, but not necessarily be limited to, planning, retraining, identifying ways of determining employees= skills, training and experience previously achieved, early retirement, voluntary exit programs, alternative assignment, secondment, employee career counselling, job sharing, job trading, job shadowing, and professional development; - discussions between the parties which explore these possible strategies would assist in the development of appropriate enhancements to Employment Stability; - data which is relevant to employment stability shall be made available to both parties.
