Drill cuttings returned downhole [29.11.1999]
Ten years ago Statoil of Norway developed a concept for the grinding of drill cuttings from the drilling process to a consistence suitable for reinjection into subsea formations. This SMACCC process was further developed by Procon Engineering and is now available as a complete Procut slurrification system ready for use. ... This is the procedure today but it is a time-consuming process involving the use of supply ships, while suitable disposal sites on shore must be set aside. These sites are steadily becoming scarcer. On the basis of this Statoil has worked out a concept which opens the way for a more environmentally friendly method of the disposal of the drill waste. ... The main purpose of the PROCUT slurrificution system is to grind oil-based cuttings to a homogeneous slurry suitable for re-injection into a sub-sea formation. This is done using an automated and continuous process to transport the cuttings from the shale-shaker outlet to a process unit, grind them to a slurry and transport the finished product to a slurry- holding tank.

SIG Corpoplast celebrates its jubilee 30 years of stretch blow technology from Hamburg [18.02.2005]
It all started with the beer. Impelled by the vision of replacing heavy and breakable glass bottles with lightweight and unbreakable bottles, the Hamburg based company Heidenreich & Harbeck developed the first high-performance blow machines for beer bottles made of plastic as early as the 1960's. Because the polyester material used later was not yet available in a blowable quality suitable for food applications, the first plastic beer bottles were composed of PVC.
