Detailed organic characterization of process water to evaluate reverse osmosis membrane fouling in industrial wastewater treatment by Minier-Matar, Joel

“…One of the key challenges for RO membranes application to industrial wastewater treatment is fouling which is frequently attributed to the soluble organics present in the water and/or associated with field chemicals. In this study, a detailed organic characterization methodology, using liquid chromatography with organic carbon detector (LC-OCD) was applied to characterize the organics on a real process water collected from industrial wastewater treatment plant at a gas production facility. …”

Improving Emergency Response Communication In Race Circuits by Abdull Qader Al Ameri, Asma Muhsen

“…As a fact, the use of communication over radio connection (walkie-talkie) makes great challenge in interpreting reports sent by responders since the noise and different accents in responders’ crews, which might encounter great threat and delay in response time.Furthermore, cameras blind spots and angles might decrease the certainty of the incident scene. …”
