Corrosion engineers are most frequently found working in the energy industry, often with hydroelectric plants that rely on underwater turbines. They are also employed by oil companies who do offshore platform drilling in corrosive saltwater conditions. They can even be found working in mining and waste management professions. Whatever the industry, a corrosion engineer typically works to collect data via reports, inspections, and measurements to determine the speed and spread of corrosion and rust onset on metal parts and structures. 3, record 2, English, - corrosion%20engineer

Mothballing is the process of stabilizing a facility so that no damage occurs to the facility should it make sense at a later time to incur the capital expenditures associated with continuing to operate, extending the life, or repowering the facility. Typically, a decision to mothball a facility might be made as a hedge against, or in anticipation of, changes in market conditions; i. e., increases in relative fuel prices, or an increase in the value of installed capacity.... Typical activities involved in mothballing a facility might include the following types of activities intended to preserve existing equipment :-’Racking Out’ or removal and storage of motor control center circuit breakers or 'switchgear’(this would also be done for a facility that has been retired and is scheduled for dismantling)-Placing a heat source or desiccants in the furnace to maintain a temperature above the dew point(at which condensation collects and corrodes the boiler structures.)-The application of grease or other coatings to reduce corrosion of components such as pumps and motors.-The installation of an air desiccant system to blow dry air through the steam turbine, condenser, boiler tubes and pipes. 2, record 5, English, - mothballing

NACE International was originally known as "The National Association of Corrosion Engineers" when it was established in 1943 by eleven corrosion engineers in the pipeline industry. These founding members were involved in a regional cathodic protection group formed in the 1930s, when the study of cathodic protection was introduced. With more than 60 years of experience in developing corrosion prevention and control standards, NACE International has become the largest organization in the world committed to the study of corrosion. The NACE International mission to protect people, assets, and the environment from the effect of corrosion is global. 1, record 8, English, - NACE%20International

The mechanics of MEOR at a molecular level are really quite simple, but must be thoroughly understood to assess both the efficiency and the efficacy of the process. The microbes in MEOR are simply hydrocarbon-utilizing, non-pathogenic microorganisms which are endemic to, and are naturally-occurring in petroleum reservoirs. What this means is, they naturally exist in reservoirs, are safe for plants, animals and humans, and ingest hydrocarbons as a food source which they metabolize. As a result of this "digestive" process, they then excrete bio-products such as alcohols, gases, acids, surfactants and polymers, which because of their origin are all natural and non-toxic.... Changes in the Crude [:] The gases excreted by the microorganisms go immediately into solution in the crude, making it a solution gas drive reservoir once again. The gases, solvents and weak acids cause a reduction in the viscosity and the pour point of the crude, and an increase in its API(or specific) gravity. These three changes cause the oil to be thinner and to flow more freely. Some of the microorganisms inhibit the activity of SRB's, or sulfate-reducing bacteria, which also occur naturally in reservoirs, but cause corrosion in metal parts and produce the deadly H2S(hydrogen sulfide) gas. Changes in the Reservoir Rock [:] The surfactants, acids and solvents clean out the paraffin wax and the heavy crude depositions in the pores of the rock improving the permeability and partially restoring the original porosity of the rock. The polymers help modify the permeability of the rock by reducing the size of the molecules of reservoir fluids, and help prevent and control water-coning problems. The acids, solvents, alcohols and surfactants remove metal traces from the poral throats of the rock, helping to restore the original porosity and permeability of the reservoir rock. 3, record 11, English, - microbial%20enhanced%20oil%20recovery

Pour qu'un micro-organisme soit commercialement utilisable, il doit être à même de survivre dans les conditions sévères de température, de salinité et de pression. Une fois dans le puits, le micro-organisme produirait soit un gaz pour remettre le puits sous pression, soit des agents tensio-actifs ou des émulsifiants pour diminuer la viscosité du pétrole.

Drying of gases : The removal of 95-100% of the water vapor in air or other gases is frequently necessary. Gases having a dew point of-40°F are considered commercially dry. The more important reasons for the removal of water vapor from air are :(1) comfort, as in air conditioning;(2) control of the humidity of manufacturing atmospheres;(3) protection of electrical equipment against corrosion, short circuits, and electrostatic discharges;(4) requirement of dry air for the use in chemical processes where moisture present in air adversely affects the economy of the process;(5) prevention of water absorption in pneumatic conveying; and(6) as a prerequisite to liquifaction. 3, record 12, English, - dry%20air

Réfrigération et congélation - Le taux maximal d'humidité que peut contenir un gaz décroît rapidement avec la température : pour l'air chargé de vapeur d'eau, par exemple, sa valeur à 30 °C n'est plus que le centième de celle qu'on observe à 20 °C; ceci découle immédiatement des variations correspondantes des tensions de vapeur. Le refroidissement d'une masse de gaz produit donc une dessiccation, une élimination des parties les plus condensables par dépôt sur les parois de l'appareil où s'effectue l'opération : c'est le piégeage à basse température. En général, le gaz à purifier circule sous pression ordinaire ou réduite autour d'une chemise baignée à l'extérieur par un liquide réfrigérant, sur laquelle se condense à l'état liquide ou solide à éliminer. Le condensat solide formé, sans inconvénient pour de faibles quantités, gêne cependant les transferts de chaleur accompagnant la condensation, lorsque son épaisseur est grande; il est alors nécessaire d'arrêter le fonctionnement de l'appareil et de procéder à un réchauffement temporaire, pour fondre le dépôt et l'éliminer par ruissellement vers la partie inférieure ou s'opère une vidange. 2, record 12, French, - air%20sec
