Have you heard about EBS? 👀 Engineered Barrier Systems (EBS) are a key component in the safe disposal of high-level radioactive waste. EBS are designed to ensure long-term isolation of radioactive materials from the environment, minimizing any risk of radioactive release over thousands of years. EBS work together with the natural barriers, like for example in Olkiluoto, almost 450 meters of stable bedrock. The core of EBS include durable canisters that encapsulate the spent fuel, often made from materials like copper or steel, selected for their corrosion resistance and strength. These canisters are placed in underground deposition holes surrounded by a buffer material, like bentonite clay, which acts as a secondary barrier. Bentonite is chosen for its swelling properties when exposed to moisture, effectively sealing gaps and preventing water flows. 💧 The backfill and sealing of the disposal tunnels further reinforce the containment. Together with the surrounding natural barrier, these engineered barriers are designed to withstand natural processes such as corrosion due to groundwater chemistry, groundwater movement and geological shifts over millennia. By combining engineered solutions with the natural protection EBS ensure that radioactive waste remains safely isolated from the biosphere until its radioactivity declines to harmless levels. At Posiva Solutions, we offer expert support in selecting or reviewing the most appropriate approaches and methodologies for EBS design, material selection, barrier manufacturing, and installation. 🛠️ Learn more about our capabilities here:  https://lnkd.in/dCedpRgn #EBS #nuclearenergy #nuclearindustry #finaldisposal #engineeredbarriersystems

To keep the world's assets in operation and mitigate critical risks, we must combine corrosion control and technology innovation.   At IPU we celebrate 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘈𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘋𝘢𝘺 , April 24, to keep updated on prioritizing costs, safeguarding infrastructure and protecting the environment. We need the good examples of ensuring longer service life of installations by keeping material degradation under control. Our happy update today is that CUI - corrosion under insulation - can be prevented.   #WCAD #CorrosionAroundTheClock #RustNeverSleeps #AMPP #WorldCorrosionAwarenessDay #efccommunity

📢 Vallourec reduces the carbon footprint of its premium tubular solutions by 19% in 4 years!   I am pleased to announce that the Group has reduced its carbon footprint from 1.79 to 1.45 tonnes of CO2e per tonne of pipe, this result sets a new industry standard for the premium seamless tubular solutions sector.   This significant improvement, validated in our new Environmental Product Declaration (@EPD International), based on Life Cycle Assessment, demonstrates our relentless commitment to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions across our entire value chain, from steel manufacturing to final pipe .   ⚡ Our new industrial routes as well as our global operations showcase this dedication: in Brazil, our forests provide sustainable biomass charcoal used as sustitute to coke in our blast furnace, and 98% of our electricity is renewable , while in the US, our steel mill is key asset for circular economy and runs on 98% scrap with 100% low carbon electricity. Globally, more than 90% of our electricity is low carbon!   Transparency drives progress, and we remain committed to measuring and communicating our environmental impact, because we can only improve what we measure precisely.    👏 A special thank you to our dedicated teams worldwide who made this achievement possible! Together, we're building a more sustainable future.   🔎 Find more on the link to our Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) : https://lnkd.in/eHYvWnWu   #Vallourcec #EPDCertification #CarbonFootprint

Energy transition...!! Nitrogen (NOx) and sulfur (SO) oxides and carbon dioxide (CO2) are the primary concern related to the pyro process of clinker production, an intermediate product and raw material for Portland cement. These gases have a direct impact as atmospheric pollutants, participating in the greenhouse effect, acid rains, and photochemical contamination. Since the middle of the 20th century, the cement industry using polluted air control systems, such as filters (electrostatic and bag filters), opacimeters, and gas analyzers. In addition, combustion technology has been developing more efficient burners that allow the use of different fuels, including gaseous ones, such as natural gas. Currently, the cement industry is undergoing its most relevant energy transition to eliminate carbon emissions based on renewable technologies. In this sense, high investments are made in research and development to achieve this goal in three aspects: ✅ Raw materials; replace or decrease the limestone content as the primary raw material; ✅ Fuels, replace fossil fuels with other clean energy sources; ✅ Reduce/eliminate emissions by capturing, transforming, or reusing oxidizing gases. That doesn't necessarily mean discontinuing the combustion process. Interestingly, the hydraulic mortar of the ancient Romans included calcined clay, recycled ceramic material, and slow combustion in its composition. Although the objective was not ecological, if we analyze it carefully, we will see that the Romans had an ecologically friendly process, similar to several actions applied by the modern cement industry. In the book "𝗜𝗹𝗹𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗖𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗲" by Rainer Nobis (translated into Spanish by Juan Ortega), you will discover interesting historical information about the methods used by the Romans to produce a type of hydraulic mortar, you will also learn about the first investigations to produce Portland cement and concrete.
