... Abstract A new subsea wet-mate low-voltage connector is presented, showing product strategies and designs to enhance electrical performance and reliability, while reducing cost and lead-time. Also reducing the environmental impact of such a product is discussed. Connectors with reduced...

...Introduction The techno-economic analysis was considered the traditional approach performed for designing process engineering alternatives. However, such criteria do not estimate the sustainability-potential for processes in terms of environmental impact. The Pollution Prevention Act of 1990...

... Abstract Environmental performance indicators are a tool for engineering service providers to enhance the visibility and understanding of environmental impacts amongst study teams when designing offshore facilities. This paper presents the rationale for selecting certain indicators, and some...

... recently refused 2 mining licenses due to potential environmental impacts. Social and regulatory context thus pushes industrials to increase our knowledge of the environment, to define and use greener processes and to detect and solve negative impacts as soon as they occur. The economic context, however...

... Abstract This paper describes how the CLOV project team reduced the environmental impact of operations on its Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel through the use of a number of different innovative systems. The approach focussed on three different aspects of topside...

This has readily inspired Royal Boskalis Westminster NV to develop a series of innovations aiming to mitigate the direct impact of dredging activities. Sustainable and cost-efficient realization...

... and predictable. Further, since no fuels or radioactive materials are used, environmental impacts (including greenhouse gas generation) are much less than those of conventional methods of power generation. Basic Principles The basic principles of OTEC have been presented in multiple publications (such as [1], [2...

.... The absence of under-base grouting adds to the ease of removal. Decommissioning options are evaluated from considerations of safety, environmental impact and total energy balance. All are considered safe, incur relatively low cost, are technically feasible, have low environmental impact and incur only...

... Abstract This paper describes means of porting the Slim Hole Drilling concept to deep offshore applications. Slim Hole technology is now routinely used onshore. Positive results have been proven in terms of cost reduction, minimisation of the environmental impact of drilling activity, drilling...
