[2012-2-5] Tideflex® Inline CheckMate® Valve
The CheckMate® Inline Check Valve is suitable for backflow prevention and odor mitigation. In outfalls, stormwater, CSO and SSO applications, the CheckMate’s® custom-engineered, all-rubber unibody design eliminates backflow from oceans, rivers and interceptors. The major advantage of the CheckMate® Inline Check Valve is its extremely low headloss. The CheckMate® Valve can open to a near full pipe diameter. This maximizes the flow capacity of the outfall, which is particularly beneficial in low-lying areas where limited driving head is available. CheckMate® Valves are readily available in 4in to 72in sizes. Like the Tideflex® Check Valve, the CheckMate® has a 100% fabric and elastomer construction that eliminates corrosion problems. Because the CheckMate® is made with a unibody construction, there are no mechanical components to catch debris, corrode or fail....
[2012-2-5] Aker Wirth values work safety and environmental pr
In late 2011 Aker Wirth was audited by the accredited certification body DNV. The company was granted both re-certification in occupational health and safety (OHSAS 18001:2007) and the initial certification in environmental protection (ISO 14001:2004). The company undertook extensive measures to improve work safety and environmental protection. For example, buildings and the working areas have been modernised, the waste concept reorganised and personal protective equipment for employees further improved. Further improvements are planned for 2012. The auditors underscored the high levels of openness, honesty and fairness regarding the areas audited. CEO Christoph Kleuters concluded by saying: "The full and intensive support of the entire staff enabled the successful audit. We are proud that work safety and environmental protection are visibly lived in our company." ...
[2012-2-5] ABB secures substation orders
ABB has secured orders worth more than USD 250 million from the Saudi Arabian transmission and distribution operator, Saudi Electricity Co. (SEC). These have been awarded for the construction of new substations and to reinforce existing ones in Saudi Arabia, as well as strengthening the grid in the central region of the country. One of the new gas-insulated switchgear substations will be located south west of Al-Hassa in the eastern region. The substation will facilitate the transmission of an additional 2000MW of electricity from a new gas-fired power plant, located adjacent to SEC's existing Qurayyah power station. Six other new distribution substations, as well as the three to be upgraded, will be in the capital Riyadh and other cities in the central region. ABB will be responsible for the design, supply, installation and commissioning of the new substations, including the provision of key equipment such as GIS, transformers, shunt reactors and capacitor banks. In addition, ABB will deliver a range of solutions including supervisory control and data acquisition, as well as automation, control, protection and communication equipment compliant with the global IEC 61850 standard. This will allow remote monitoring and control of power assets at multiple sites from SEC's power control centre. ...

[2012-2-5] LNG export terminal upgrade
Poland-based Gaz-System is preparing conceptual work for the addition of a liquefaction facility to the LNG import terminal currently being built at Swinoujscie on the Baltic coast. The possibility of building the infrastructure to export LNG from Poland has been prompted by increased interest in exploring, and eventually producing, unconventional volumes from the country's prospective reserves. Gaz-System said it was planning to undertake "conceptual work connected with the analysis of additional functionalities of the LNG terminal."This work would include the possibility of adding liquefaction equipment, it added. State-controlled Gaz-System, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Polskie LNG, is currently building a 5 billion cum (Gm3)/yr import terminal in the northwest of the country. The Swinoujscie terminal is scheduled to be operational in mid-2014. Both Polskie LNG and Gaz-System have previously said the terminal could be upgraded to import up to 7.5Gm3/yr. Over the coming year, Poland is also undertaking a swift and far-reaching gas market liberalisation programme, that will see an end to industrial and commercial tariffs. This is expected to notably reduce the market dominance of state-owned incumbent PGNiG. Poland's first commercial volumes of unconventional production are expected in 2014. ...
