David Sanderson Presents on Robustness in the Design of Offshore Structures
David Sanderson presented at a Health and Safety Executive (HSE)/Offshore Structural Integrity Technical Authority Engagement event on July 26, 2016.
Quantitative Risk Assessment for a Floating Production Storage and Offloading in Brazil
Geosyntec undertook a quantitative risk assessment (QRA) for the Cidade de Paraty Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel, which will operate in the Lula oil field. The Lula oil field, which is the largest hydrocarbon find in the world since the Kazakh Kashagan discovery in 2000, is located in the Santos Basin, 250km south of Rio de Janeiro. It is estimated to hold five to eight billion barrels of oil equivalent. Due to the size of the field and the water depth, which in areas is in excess of 2000m, it will be developed using a number of FPSOs.
Quantitative Risk Assessment for LNG Offshore Central Processing Facility in Australia
Geosyntec prepared the quantitative risk assessment (QRA) for the Browse liquified natural gas (LNG) offshore central processing facility (CPF) during the front-end engineering design (FEED) stage of this multi-billion dollar project.
Re-Suspension of Aeration Lanes for a Sewage Treatment Works in England
Severn Trent Water commissioned Geosyntec to investigate the optimal configuration of the Aqua Turbo aerators at the Melton Mowbray Sewage Treatment Works. These units aerated the mixed liquors using a screw impeller that drew up and impinged the fluid onto a flat plate above the water surface, creating a spray.
Enhanced In Situ Bioremediation of a DNAPL Source Area in United Kingdom
The application of enhanced in situ bioremediation for the treatment of chlorinated solvent source areas, referred to as dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL), offers major potential as a technically and economically effective remediation option. Project SABRe (Source Area BioRemediation) was designed to develop and demonstrate that enhanced anaerobic bioremediation can result in cost effective and quantifiable treatment of chlorinated solvent DNAPL source areas. Geosyntec was a key member of this collaborative project that was undertaken and financed by a multidisciplinary team from the United Kingdom, United States, and Canada, forming a unique industry-regulatory- academic partnership.
