Hazardous Chemical in Health Care

May 22, 2018

It is impossible to live in today ’s world without being exposed to hundreds of chemicals. Studies conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have documented this exposure for years, and the more chemicals the CDC tests for, the more they find in human bodies. And the more we study these chemicals, the more direct link we find to illness and disease. Health care professionals, particularly nurses, are at increased risk for chemical and pharmaceutical exposure and so are health care patients. Reducing exposures is an important step as the health care sector fulfils its oath to “first do no harm.”

The Evolution Of Composite Riser Systems: A different approach to managing corrosion in the pre-salt

whitePaper | June 15, 2021

Corrosion costs the oil and gas industry $1.372 billion every year. No operator is more aware of the high costs of corrosion than Petrobras. In Brazil’s deepwater pre-salt reserves no pipe comprising metallics has so far evaded corrosion due to the combination of hydrogen sulfide, water and high temperatures. The problem has led Petrobras to look to Magma’s composite m-pipe. We have been working to qualify m-pipe in Brazil and share our initial results in this paper.
