Adapting natural gas as a vehicle fuel introduces engineering challenges.
While the fuel burns clean, it is less

energy dense than gasoline, so if it is burned in an engine designed to run on conventional fuel, performance
and efficiency are degraded.
But since natural gas has an octane rating of 130, compared with 93 for the best gasoline, an engine designed
for it can run with very high cylinder pressure, which would cause a regular gasoline engine to knock from
premature ignition. More cylinder pressure yields more power, and thus the energy-density advantage of
gasoline can be nullified.[...]
Until the pressurized fuel tanks of natural gas vehicles can be easily and quickly refueled, the eet cannot
grow substantially. The number of commercial refueling stations for compressed natural gas has been
increasing at a rate of 16 percent yearly, the Energy Department says. And, while the total is still small,
advances in refueling equipment should increase the rate of expansion. Much of the infrastructure is already
in place: America has millions of miles of natural gas pipeline. Connecting that network to refueling equipment
is not difficult.
Although commercial refueling stations will be necessary to support a substantial eet of natural gas vehicles,
home refueling may be the magic bullet that makes the vehicles practical. Electric vehicles depend largely on
home charging and most have less than half the range of a fully fueled natural gas vehicle. Some compressed
natural gas home refueling products are available, but they can cost as much as $5,000.
Seeking to change that, the Energy Department has awarded grants to a number of companies in an e ort
to develop affordable home-refueling equipment.

Coworking: Sharing How We Work

Genevieve DeGuzman
Communication
The statements below represent opinions collected from different workers.
The only one which can be considered as an argument against coworking is:
A ‘One of the best things is that I pay lower than I would for a dedicated office, so I don’t feel
pressured to go to the coworking facility every day.’
B ‘Though my home office is great and I love it, I sometimes need the distance and collaborative
environment that my coworking space provides.’
C ‘The vibe of being around others can feel like a wave carrying you even when you’re not sure where
to go – if you need a little social boost.’
D ‘Perhaps you won’t like any of the other people at your coworking space, or that the proprietors
aren’t putting much effort into socializing or collaboration.’
E ‘The shared space provides instant community and a stimulating atmosphere around other
professionals working towards the same intentions as I am.’

The Underwater Centre secures its biggest ever contract – worth $1.3million - to train Russian saturation
divers
Your Oil and Gas News Magazine
The world’s leading commercial diver and Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) training facility, based in the
Scottish Highlands and Australia, has secured its biggest ever contract – worth US$ 1.3 million – to train
Russian saturation divers. The award cements its reputation as a major service provider for the growing
worldwide oil and gas industry.
The men, already experienced air divers, were trained on saturation procedures and techniques and will
receive the Australian Diver Accreditation Scheme (ADAS) and the Closed Bell certi cation. More advanced
than the ADAS, the Closed Bell is the certi cation appropriate to deep water dives of 60 meters / 200 feet,
using a trimix tank with 16 percent oxygen (O2).
During the training, divers lived in a chamber for up to 28 days, which was pressurized to the same pressure
of the sea, exactly at the depth that they will be working at. Living and working at pressure mean that they
can be transported quickly and e ciently to the work site under the water without decompression stops,
allowing divers to work in much greater depths and for much longer periods of time.
MRTS Managing Director Alexander Kolikov said: “Oil and gas rms in Russia are currently facing a skills
shortage due to the rapidly increasing amount of exploration work underway at the moment. By investing in
the training of our divers in saturation diving, we are addressing this need for experts in maintenance and
repair activities vital to maintaining Russia’s subsea infrastructure.”
Steve Ham, General Manager at the Fort William Centre said: “We were delighted when MRTS chose The
Underwater Centre to train its divers in saturation diving, and I think this is testament to the hard work we
have been putting in to ensure our reputation as a world-class training facility.

D elated, because the MRTS recognized the good work the Underwater Centre had been performing

Preparation, the Key to Petrochemical Fire Safety
By Paul Frankland
International Fire Protection Magazine
Having the right equipment in place to detect and suppress a petrochemical re is essential, but so is having
well thought out emergency preparedness plans, being in a position to ensure fast response, and having
effective incident control.
The response in the rst few minutes to a petrochemical re is critical to the nal outcome, as anyone who
has ever found themselves in that unenviable position will tell you. The fact of the matter is that irrespective
of how sophisticated the detection and re suppression installations, nothing will make up for a lack of
emergency preparedness, inadequate training or poorly implemented incident management. The golden rule
when preparing for such an emergency is: assume nothing and test everything.
Risk assessments for petrochemical plants, indeed for any high-hazard site, should not be limited to what
might be described as “internal” re safety threats and challenges. If evidence is needed of this, it is
necessary only to look at what happened at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan where the disaster
was triggered by an o shore earthquake and tsunami. In the current uncertain international climate, the risk
assessor also has to consider the very real prospect of acts of terrorism aimed at headlinegrabbing mass
destruction of property and lives.
None of this, of course, lessens the need to provide the most e ective detection, alarm and suppression
equipment. This will probably take the form of xed equipment providing primary aroundthe-clock protection
for such structures as cone roof tanks; open-top oating roof tanks; covered oating roof tanks; horizontal
tanks; bunds, and spill grounds. However, it cannot be overstressed that, potentially, all of this equipment is
itself at risk in the event of an explosion.
While petrochemical res are, thankfully, not everyday occurrences, when they do occur the consequences
can be economically and environmentally devastating, as well as being seriously life-threatening on a
signi cant scale. So it is essential for petrochemical workers to keep a higher attention level so that they do
not risk being faced with the prospect. More time and energy needs to be devoted to implementing
sustainable measures that will reduce or eliminate the risk of re. Certainly, this means workers must do their
job according to stricter rules at all times: performing both passive and active re protection measures daily,
devising and implementing fully integrated emergency and disaster management plans, and most importantly,
seeing fire engineering as a dynamic and indispensable business continuity process.

In Text I, it becomes clear that in order to detect and suppress a petrochemical fire, it
A is most important to have well thought out emergency preparedness plans.
B is not enough to have the right equipment in place.
C is only necessary to possess an effective incident control.
D will never be necessary to ensure fast response to the incident.
E will be only crucial to be properly equipped to face the fire.
