Flyovers observed seemingly clean surface waters. A different picture emerges after accounting for the disappearance of oil by evaporation and by oil plume formation. It seems that larger oil patches were ripped apart by the storm and were converted into "tarballs". One billion pounds of tarballs will become an endless nuisance for beach communities depending on tourists. http://www.submityourarticle.com/articles/Klaus%20H-Hemsath-3274/BP-oil-leak-disaster-111981.php Thu, 12 Aug 2010 04:06:13 +0000 After capping its well, BP must try to skim close to 200 million gallons of crude from Gulf waters before the first tropical storms and hurricanes can interrupt their work. BP desperately needs more effective skimming equipment for cleaning soiled Gulf waters. A new emergency preparedness agency is urgently needed that can deploy effective assets in form of trained emergency crews, high capacity oil skimmers, and well containment devices. http://www.submityourarticle.com/articles/Klaus%20H-Hemsath-3274/BP-oil-leak-disaster-110755.php Thu, 29 Jul 2010 00:02:20 +0000 After mounting a second shut-off device on its dysfunctional blow out preventer, BP must now skim close to 200 million gallons of crude oil from the surface of the Gulf. The A-Whale, a Taiwanese supertanker converted for oil skimming duties, arrived in the Gulf, tried its luck at skimming, and discovered that the conversion does not work. The chance of cleaning the Gulf quickly was missed and American technology could not assist either. http://www.submityourarticle.com/articles/Klaus%20H-Hemsath-3274/BP-oil-leak-disaster-110533.php Wed, 04 Aug 2010 00:00:15 +0000 BP's leaking oil well will spill more than five million barrels into the Gulf. US citizens must be protected from similar, recurring disasters. More and more oil is reaching surface waters. Fishing has been destroyed. Gulf Coast residents are facing bankruptcy and impoverished futures. Tourism industry will be devastated. No solutions are available for removing the spreading oily debris. Only technologists can help but are not called upon. http://www.submityourarticle.com/articles/Klaus%20H-Hemsath-3274/BP-oil-leak-disaster-108669.php Sat, 24 Jul 2010 21:46:42 +0000 BP's leaking oil well will spill more than five million barrels into the Gulf of Mexico. US citizens must be protected from similar, recurring disasters. A special emergency response agency is needed. Advanced containment domes and oil skimmers can save wetlands, estuaries and beaches when deployed immediately. Funding for a new emergency preparedness agency and for unlimited liability insurance coverage must come from new permitting fees. http://www.submityourarticle.com/articles/Klaus%20H-Hemsath-3274/BP-oil-leak-disaster-106538.php Tue, 13 Jul 2010 00:00:14 +0000 BP's leaking oil well will spill more than five million barrels into the Gulf of Mexico. A well designed collection dome could have stopped the leak within days. One week's spill could have been mopped up with two advanced oil skimmers, if each vessel had been capable of collecting more than five thousand barrels per day. Neither the oil industry nor the U.S. Coast Guard was prepared for dealing with a well failure in deep waters. http://www.submityourarticle.com/articles/Klaus%20H-Hemsath-3274/BP-oil-leak-106245.php Fri, 02 Jul 2010 22:29:15 +0000 The BP oil spill disaster continues. BP and the Feds are jockeying for position. Citizens in adjacent Gulf States are loosing their livelihoods. The technical solution is simple. Close the damned leak, prevent the spill from making landfall, and manually clean already soiled shores. Protect citizens and damn the torpedoes from moneyed and political interests. The means for implementation are available. Who dares to make the decision? http://www.submityourarticle.com/articles/Klaus%20H-Hemsath-3274/BP-oil-leak-104109.php Sun, 20 Jun 2010 17:33:13 +0000 Preparations for a successful landing of two astronauts on the moon took eight years and cost $140 billion. Protecting US coastal waters from oil spills caused by damaged tankers or by ruptured oil wells would have cost pennies on the dollar if instituted in time and ahead of permitting any deepwater drilling. Greedy energy companies, corrupt regulators, and incompetent governmental disaster planners are responsible for huge economic damages. http://www.submityourarticle.com/articles/Klaus%20H-Hemsath-3274/successful-moon-landing-104015.php Thu, 17 Jun 2010 02:53:08 +0000 The world's largest, manmade disaster is happening in the Gulf of Mexico. BP is drilling two relief wells and promises permanent closure for the midst of August. The leak is gushing oil at more than 20,000 barrels per day. A properly designed, sizable containment dome, placed over the leak, can collect the leaking oil, can bring it to the surface, and can deposit it in waiting tankers. Applicable design and process conditions are discussed. http://www.submityourarticle.com/articles/Klaus%20H-Hemsath-3274/threats-to-world-economies-101969.php Wed, 02 Jun 2010 09:56:16 +0000 World economies are threatened by ice melting, escalating greenhouse gas emissions, climate changes, coming petroleum shortages, and high energy prices. Stagnating growth of world economies is caused by weaknesses of financial institutions and by inability of world powers to agree on measures for combating climate changes. Strong leadership for developing and funding of critically needed energy conversion technologies is urgently needed. http://www.submityourarticle.com/articles/Klaus%20H-Hemsath-3274/threats-to-world-economies-86221.php Sat, 27 Feb 2010 23:23:25 +0000
