L'industrie aéronautique, durant de nombreuses années, a été le véritable moteur du développement des techniques de projection thermique, notamment grâce à la torche à plasma. [...] la technique française de projection plasma entraîne des pertes de poudre MCrAlY très importantes. [...] Les techniques de dépôts sont extrêmement variées : projection plasma sous vide(ou pression réduite), pulvérisation cathodique triode(PCT) [...] on peut citer [...] la projection à chaud et notamment la projection plasma, dans laquelle le matériau à déposer est introduit au moyen d’un gaz porteur dans le jet d’une torche à plasma sous forme de grains de poudre de 20 à 100 µm de diamètre. Après fusion, les gouttelettes du matériau devenu liquide sont projetées à grande vitesse sur la surface du substrat. La flamme plasma résulte de la détente à grande vitesse dans une anode-tuyère d’un gaz plasmagène [...] ionisé lors de son passage dans une chambre à arc. On peut ainsi déposer à la surface d’un substrat quelconque tout matériau disponible en poudre pouvant être fondu sans décomposition ni évaporation. Cette projection peut se faire soit à pression atmosphérique(à l'air ou en atmosphère neutre) soit sous pression réduite. 2, record 9, French, - formage%20par%20projection%20plasma%20sous%20vide

Éruption de gaz à faible profondeur. La rencontre de lentilles de gaz à faible profondeur pose un problème considérable à cause de la faible résistance à la fracturation des terrains sous sabot. Dans ce cas, on peut envisager deux solutions :-soit de forer avec un tube prolongateur équipé d’un déviateur permettant de canaliser sur torche une venue éventuelle de gaz. En effet, la fermeture du puits par BOP est impossible car elle conduirait à la fracturation avec risque majeur de cratère.-soit de forer en circulation perdue sans tube prolongateur avec risque d’éruption au fond de la mer non canalisée. 1, record 13, French, - d%C3%A9viateur

The high pressure (HP) flare which is 122 cm (49") in diameter is used to release pressure during emergencies. All relief valves and motor operated flare valves handling [hydrogen sulphide] are connected to the high pressure flare. The HP flare is first and foremost a safety and emergency system which will be used sparingly.
