This article addresses the challenges of managing water-soluble organics (WSOs) in offshore produced water. It provides a brief discussion of the chemistry, along with strategies and technologies that can be used to manage WSO levels in produced water, thus facilitating compliance with regulatory overboard water-quality guidelines.
Spain has granted permits covering a swath of the mountain range to Mantle8 for natural hydrogen and helium exploration a month after France granted the company similar permits.

A solar-powered cooled hard hat can reduce the skin temperature of workers by up to 10°C. They will first be issued to workers on construction sites for the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar this summer. A solar panel embedded in the top of the helmet powers a fan that draws in hot air, which is cooled by phase change materials and filtered onto the worker's head. Including a… -
