Ecological Studies

TPI has carried out several ecological studies for a good number of companies in the Nigerian oil and gas industry, in both offshore and onshore terrains. Studies include Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA), Baseline Studies and Audit/Evaluation Reports. The largest of these was the Baseline Study of the Nigerian-Sao tome Joint Development Zone (JDZ) in the Gulf of Guinea carried out in January 2006. Samples were successfully collected at water depth above 3800m from11 oil blocks. The over 200 sediment and water samples collected were analyzed in TPI laboratory in Port Harcourt.

Environmental Site Assessment and Investigation

Site assessments, which are conducted either after a reported pollution incident, after a cleanup exercise or during custody transfer requires some measure of environmental specialization. Our multi-disciplinary team of consultants put to use the most current scientifically approved sampling techniques in executing these investigative studies, in line with stipulated local and international regulations and procedures.

WASTE MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Dispersion by Chemical Reaction (DCR) Technology

TPI is growing and diversifying in order to meet our clients’ business needs, we are introducing the following technologies:

Currently we are introducing a waste treatment technology known as “Dispersion by Chemical Reaction” (DCR) into the Nigerian Oil and Gas industry. The technology is a solidification and stabilization method that uses a treated chemical dispersing agent and other additives to micro-encapsulate toxic wastes present in an aqueous or non-aqueous phase. The end-product of the treatment process is a pulverized mass of calcium carbonate which can be used for road construction, culvert construction; land filling etc.

In order for damage to be caused in biological system, there has to be a physiological interaction between a toxic substance and a living organism. For this purpose, a potentially dangerous material has to be introduced to the biological system in a biologically “available” form. The mobility and bioavailability of toxic compounds determine their concentration in the environment at which they have an adverse effect on living organisms. A variety of treatment methods have been proposed and tried in a bid to convert toxic liquids and sludges into harmless solid materials thereby rendering them biologically unavailable. Most of these processes involve the application of inorganic materials with high absorption capacities and / or puzzalanic characteristics. Accordingly, the long-term properties of stabilized and solidified wastes depend on the characteristics of the corresponding absorption / desorption equilibrium and on the mechanical stability of the monolithic systems involved. Typically, these methods have been based on producing a hardened matrix to incorporate the contaminant using pozzalans as additives.

These methods, however, fall short of requirements when used for certain waste materials that have certain inorganic compounds or high concentrations of organic matter. These compounds retard and even prevent the solidification of mixtures, for instance, when cement was used to solidify PCB-contaminated oily soil. Treatments like these may form ‘monolithic’ solids at the

moment but, as experience has shown, will disintegrate spontaneously in the course of a few years.

Additionally, some of these techniques have failed under test conditions after wet / dry cycles, as the deposited materials would have to withstand in the natural environment. Similar mechanical breakdowns have also occurred with respect to attempts at sealing mobile phases as a whole in landfills lined with concrete and impermeable plastic foils. These materials unexpectedly lose their initial optimum chemical and mechanical properties after long-term contact with solid or fluid substances and spontaneously disintegrate. Also cracks often occur as a result of inhomogeneous setting properties due to different constituents in waste materials.

Indefinitely long-term costs of maintaining such systems including drainages, treatment of seepage water, and transfers in-between new sites emphasizes the inefficacy of these numerous stabilizing waste treatment methods.

Dispersion by Chemical Reaction (DCR) is a solidification, stabilization and encapsulation method for waste treatment (1). DCR results in a complete and irreversible immobilization of non-aqueous fluid phases by transforming them into solid preparation, and with respect to aqueous phases, through an irreversible chemical and physical fixation of water-leachable harmful substances by removing their solubility. A real and complete detoxification of organic contaminants is achieved through DCR supported chemical and biological processes.

The DCR Technology could be graphically represented as thus:

The DCR treatment concept comprises the utilization of Dispersing Chemical Reactions for:

1. The conversion of oily waste materials into finely dispersed solid preparations in-order to annul the mobility of a liquid phase (DCR immobilization of oily phase).

2. The conversion of hazardous compounds into water-insoluble chemical derivatives in-order to eliminate the water solubility of said hazardous compounds (DCR immobilization through precipitation, condensation, addition etc.).

3. The physical or chemical bonding of water-soluble hazardous compounds to functionalized inorganic or organic macromolecules in-order to form water-insoluble derivatives of said hazardous compounds (DCR Fixation through precipitation, condensation, addition etc.).

4. The formation of large surface areas of coherent organic phases in order to increase the rate of biological degradation of degradable organic harmful materials (DCR supported biological degradation).

5. The conversion of coherent organic phases into highly reacting finely dispersed solid preparations in-order to increase the chemical reactivity of chemical detoxification processes (DCR supported chemical detoxification).

ENGINEERING SERVICES

AquaDam® Technology

TPI is introducing this new technology into Nigeria for controlling flood and erosion. This new technology is termed AquaDams® Water Structures – “Using water to control water”.

AquaDams® are lightweight, easy to handle, and can be used in virtually any location. On-site requirements are just a portable pump, and the usually abundant local water supply. This means AquaDams® are ideal for water control projects such as stream or lake bed construction diversions, coffer damming, or environmental pollution confinement and silt control. They also provide fast, effective relief for tougher applications such as mudslides, hazardous waste control, and flooding. They are also ideal for preventing the overtopping of levees, the number one cause of levee failure.

AquaDams® are environmentally safe and specifically engineered to provide rapid deployment. They are a stable barrier of water to contain, divert, and control the flow of water. The AquaDam® concept combines multiple inner tubes within an outer tube to provide an effective portable dam to control the flow of water.

The unique, patented design consists of four basic components:

1. Multiple impermeable inner tubes which are filled with water to provide the mass needed for stability;

2. A strong, woven outer tube which contains the inner tubes and provides the structural integrity of the system;

3. Water for mass weight;

4. Collar for joining two or more AquaDams® together.

All materials used in the construction of the AquaDams® are flexible to allow them to conform to uneven terrain. This provides an effective seal between the ground and the AquaDams®.

Two or more AquaDams® may be joined to form an AquaDam® of any workable length. A coupling collar, manufactured from the same high-strength woven material as the outer tube, aligns the AquaDams®.

The unique combination of properties of AquaDam® make them ideal for a wide variety of applications.

A few of the more common uses include:


Capability Brief

18

1. Water diversions during pipeline installation in and around rivers or standing water 2. Water containment during repairs on bridges, sewage systems and power plants 3. Easy, rapidly deployed flood control 4. Erosion control through diversion or containment of flowing water 5. Temporary reservoirs for water storage 6. Temporary containment of spilled materials 7. Silt containment and sediment collection

The standard AquaDam® system is filled from one end only via two inner tubes. The closed end is fitted with a collar that allows two AquaDams® to be linked together. Utilizing the linking collars allows the AquaDam® to be customized to meet the individual needs of the job site.

The open-ended system can be filled from either open end. This system is appropriate when placing one AquaDam® entirely across a riverbed or canal, where both ends can extend up the opposite bank.

AquaDams® can contain the sediment created by construction next to a river to prevent contamination!

AquaDams® can divert water flow when installing underground pipelines and cables across rivers and streams, and can isolate remediation sites to protect surrounding areas during cleanup.

AquaDams® require little time and labor to use! Keep roads open longer by placing AquaDams® along roadsides, and can also be used along existing levees to prevent over-topping

Shipboard Weather Monitoring

The Voluntary Observing Ships' program (VOS) is an international initiative by which ocean-going ships are recruited by National Meteorological services to record and transmit shipboard weather. Until recently VOS reports could only be manually compiled so observation bias and input error occurred regularly; hence 20% of the observed data in Canada's VOS program was being rejected in quality control tests.

In order to improve VOS data collection, AXYS Technologies Inc. and Environment Canada have jointly developed the Automatic Voluntary Observing Ships System (AVOS™). AVOS™ is an automated weather station that transmits VOS program reports. Errors and standard reporting biases are eliminated through the use of touch screen technology, intuitive software and automated quality control protocol.

Port Monitoring

Port operator’s world-wide face tough challenges keeping both goods and people moving safely and efficiently through port facilities. To meet these challenges, operators and port authorities are turning to Automated Information Systems (AIS) to provide real-time weather and ship traffic information. The AXYS Port Sentinel™ is an AIS system designed to provide mission critical real-time environmental and traffic data.

The Port Sentinel monitors weather conditions effecting safe ship movements and loading/unloading operations; such as wind, precipitation, temperature, visibility, currents, and waves. In addition, the Port Sentinel™ integrates seamlessly with common AIS transponders to provide ship movement and onboard real-time data. AXYS Technologies Inc. (AXYS) is helping ports meet both present and future operational challenges by developing equipment to meet today's mandatory needs and requirements.
