Conwy is a town which is rather old. Furthermore, a lot of the attractions in Conwy tend to have multiple purposes – appealing to both visitors and locals for the fact that they embrace the old, but appeal to the locals with the fact that they are still very relevant even today. In a world that seems to be jam-packed with new, uniform and very uninteresting, bland things, Conwy stands proudly apart as an example of an excellent town which embraces its history but moves forward with the times as well. History is everywhere in Conwy - in the castle walls and in every single nook and cranny of the perfectly maintained and very much functional buildings which make up the town - and it tends to get a lot of tourism through the fact that there really is nowhere in the UK like it. When it comes to embracing - not just keeping - the old, It is admittedly, quite a tricky affair to get right. For instance, the issues the nearby town of Llandudno has had with filling the site of the old pavilion...

There is no denying a stainless steel hose assembly is a crucial part of any industry standard machine or piece of equipment. That means it is of vital importance that before your stainless steel hose assembly is installed, you must perform checks and inspections to ensure each assembly is in full working order before the machine is put back to use. A faulty assembly can cause an unpredictable amount of damage to machinery, with a sudden disruption to daily production that will inevitably become significantly detrimental to workflow. Here we will look into the installation process, but most importantly, what to do before installing your assemblies. Before Installation Before installing your stainless steel hose assembly, you should perform an extensive visual inspection. This allows you to examine the hose for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any signs of damage, simply do not use the house. If you do use the hose, it is guaranteed that you will be replacing it, alon...

Spectroscopy, in all of its many forms, is a useful technique which is well and truly the best way to identify the photothermal properties of a range of materials, but it has always been held back by a few limitations... That is, until the Anasys Mirage Photothermal IR Spectroscopy Instrument. Say what you will – manufacturers of specialist equipment haven’t quite got far enough in their art to ever breach the submicron threshold because the science isn’t quite there yet – or even that technology hasn’t got far enough. All of this has changed thanks to California-based Anasys Instruments, the creators of a new system which finally allows the submicron barrier to be broken, well and truly. The Anasys Mirage is a brand new system which combines photothermal IR in its purest form (something originally coined by Anasys over 10 years ago and developed, perfected and refined ever since) as well as probe lasers in order to break IR diffraction limits and allow submicron spectroscopy to be...

Velit is an interesting Depth Conversion suite for Petrel and known as VelPAK in Kingdom Software, and has been hailed as a way of performing fast depth conversions in a simplified manner, as well as reducing uncertainty associated with your time to depth conversions via the fact that while simplified, Velit Depth Conversion Software packs a great deal of power in a very small and very user friendly package. Never before has both beginners to depth conversion as well as seasoned pros been able to work in a blindingly fast manner with uncertainty all but eliminated.   Velit, essentially, turns even the most iterative depth conversion into a process which is fast, accurate, and above all- manageable.   A large plus of the Velit package is the amount of data which is included with it. With unique access to the data sets compiled by their sister company ERCE, Equipoise Software’s Velit Depth Conversion package boasts a series of algorithms which will well and tr...

The field of examining the ground to determine the value of the minerals and materials has become extremely competitive due to oil and gas companies becoming dependent on this vital information. The process of drilling for oil example can be a costly process as is and so there needs to be a level of certainty that the job is worth it, there is nothing worse that the time, effort and money being spent to simply find out it wasn’t worth it. This is where you will find that borehole logging services come into play. In order to determine the value of the minerals and materials, a technique called borehole logging is used which is a great choice if you want minimal disturbance to the earth and surrounding area. The process requires a small hole to be made before a log is lowered into it, the log then evaluates the resistivity of the rock which will allow the determination of the value. A specialist software is used to process the data and will allow experts to decide whether the excavation...

Storing your heating oil in Shropshire based homes and within the surrounding areas is something that needs to be discussed. Whether you live in a standard residential property or live on a farm, if you are ordering a large amount of fuel for heating, you need to learn as much about your fuel, storage and tanks. We use heating oil and fuel oil to keep our homes warm and to power our machinery and systems; however, fuel is detrimental to the environment and people’s safety if stored incorrectly, so let’s looked further into the operation behind secure fuel storage. Fuel Tanks Fuel tanks are not just designed to store fuel for later use. They are also designed with safety in mind. They keep the contents secure and away from any potentially reactive materials such as an open flame. A self-bunded tank is essentially a tank within a tank that is able to hold the same volume of the inner tank in case of a leak or overfilling. Bunded tanks are beneficial both domestic and agricult...

Seismic Inversion is something which has come on leaps and bounds in the 40 years it has been a viable geophysical process. Whereas the thought of seismic inversion some years ago was a complimentary one, the process is very much gaining relevance in geology and petrophysics circles. Nowadays, Seismic Inversion, Simulated Annealing Inversion, and Coloured Inversion are processes which are utilised in oil and gas explorations throughout the world to great effect. There are a number of oil and gas exploration companies as well as drilling companies such as Robertson Geologging from North Wales which make good use of this scientific principle. Robertson Geologging sell all manner of logging equipment such as drills and probes, with their own operations throughout the Americas, Asia and of course Europe, and utilise scientific principles such as depth conversion and seismic inversion in their day-to-day operations. You might wonder just how seismic inversion as well as simulated ...
