Shale Gas Can Transform US Power Generation - BusinessWeek
March 10 (Bloomberg) -- Technology to develop natural gas from hard-to-access rock formations will expand U.S. supplies, lower the price outlook for gas and realign choices for fueling power generation, according to a study by IHS Cambridge Energy Research Associates.

Gas locked in shale formations is expected to account for 50 percent of U.S. supply by 2035, up from 20 percent today, according to the report released today at the CERAWeek Conference in Houston. Shale gas is produced by a technique known as hydraulic fracturing in which millions of gallons of chemically treated water are forced into wells to break up rock and allow gas to flow.

Environmental groups dispute industry claims that hydraulic fracturing is safe, citing the potential that contaminated drilling fluids can spill from surface storage tanks. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants to ban drilling in the city’s watershed in upstate New York.

“It’s a potential threat to water supplies,” Peter Gleick, president of the Pacific Institute, an Oakland, California-based environmental group, said in an interview. “Once the source of our water gets contaminated, it’s really expensive to clean it up.” A Transition Fuel Shale gas, also called unconventional gas by the industry, accounted for only 1 percent of U.S. supply in 2000, CERA said. Fracturing techniques and gas discoveries in the past three years have led the industry to more than double estimates of the gas that can be recovered in North America to 3,000 trillion cubic feet, a volume that could meet demand for more than 100 years.

T&T Marine helps clean up Port Arthur spill - Marine Log
T&T Marine Salvage, a leading provider of maritime support services, helped clean up an oil spill after a January 23, Port Arthur, Texas, collision between an oil tanker and a barge spilled 450,000 gallons of crude oil into the Sabine-Neches Waterway.

The 95,663 dwt Singapore-flag, AET-owned tanker Eagle Otome sustained damage in the vicinity of the number one starboard tank after its collision with the towing vessel Dixie Vengeance and the two barges it was pushing.

T&T Marine Salvage responded to the oil spill by mobilizing 50 personnel. 20,000 feet of spill boom, a 1,500-bbl skimming vessel, response vessels, portable skimmers, eight portable fire pumps and other equipment.

"T&T Marine cleanup operations were performed around the clock," said Vice President Kevin Teichman. "We also supplied Incident Command System personnel and safety personnel to assist in monitoring the vast number of people working on the project." T&T Marine used 3,300-gpm fire pumps to decontaminate the oil tanker and several other vessels. T&T Marine also supplied personnel and five portable hydraulic lightering systems to discharge recovered oil from a tank barge.

City agrees to Henderson environmental study - Aledo Times Record
Aledo's Director of Public Works Steve Moller was given the go ahead to sign a contract with Missman Stanley & Associates for a phase I and II environmental study on the recently purchased Henderson lot east of Aledo Central Park. The estimated cost for the study is $13,475.

The city is currently looking at a proposal from the Aledo Fire Protection District to move onto half of the lot, building a new fire station there. It is not clear whether the fire department will pay the city for half of the lot, or what the details are.

According to Missman, a review of other environmental studies done on the property "appears minimal at best and does not appear to be comprehensive in addressing potential business risk." There was historical evidence of two prior gas stations and the adjacent lot was a railroad yard.

Missman pointed out that lending institutions often require Phase I and II subsurface evaluations prior to lending. Because the scope of work may be modified by Phase I findings, Missman is proposing to complete eight borings to around 12 feet below the ground surface. Phase II will be to discover contamination within the subsurface.

Yamaha reveals the Super Tenere - Fullnoise
Yamaha has introduced an exciting all new transcontinental touring motorcycle whose heritage can be traced back to the origins of adventure riding... the XTZ1200 Super Tenere .

The new XTZ1200 inherits the spirit of the legendary Tenere models that drove an era of Yamaha dominance during the 1980s and '90s in the Dakar Rally, widely known as the world's most demanding endurance rally.

To realise the three qualities mentioned above, the engine and chassis were designed from scratch with developmental efforts focused on a centralised of mass chassis design, lower centre of gravity and the desired level of front wheel weight distribution.

Powered by a newly developed liquid-cooled 4-stroke 1199cc in-line twin cylinder engine, the XTZ1200 bristles with new control technologies aimed at offering outstanding long-distance touring performance.

Environment control sensors provide critical data - Greenhouse Management & Production
Improved plant quality and reduced energy costs are just a couple of the benefits of environment control sensors.

Better environment control can result in improved plant quality and reduced energy use. Although the most common factors controlled are temperature, humidity and light levels, there are over 30 separate functions that can be controlled. Each of these requires at least one sensor to determine the existing conditions.

Sensor selection, location Sensor selection and location are keys to good environment control. Selection should be based on accuracy, repeatability, output signal compatibility and interchangeability.

Placing the sensor in the right location to obtain measurements is also important. For example, the temperature sensor should be located in the plant zone to measure the air temperature around the plants, not located on a wall, near heating pipes or on an overhead truss.
