BP Amoco Chemical Co. has awarded KBR a three-year contract by to execute maintenance and small capital construction projects at BP’s Decatur, Alabama, and Cooper River, South Carolina, plants. The original contract for these sites has been in place since 1998.

Alabama Power has started capturing CO2 at its coal-fired Plant Barry power plant. The carbon capture and storage facility at the plant is claimed to be the world’s largest for a coal-fired generating power plant. It will capture around 150ktpa of CO2, for storage in a deep saline geologic formation. The unit employs Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ KM-CDR amine solvent technology, which captures CO2 from the plant’s flue gas. The CO2 be supplied to the SECARB for transport by pipeline and injection 9,500ft underground at a site within the Citronelle Oil Field.

Wood Group has reported a strong engineering order book, at H1/11, with rising upstream volumes – despite some project deferrals – and strong subsea, pipeline markets. Downstream, process and engineering industrial markets remain soft, though. Wood Group PSN noted “reasonable” North Sea activity, including a five-year TAQA Bratani extension. The group noted “strong” US demand for services in shale regions, and “steady” demand in the Gulf of Mexico. Some Australia contracts and one in Oman are being delayed. In power, oil & gas maintenance work is being hit by test cell downtime and overhaul delays. The group has suspended engineering work for a $25m Libyan offshore contract.

Haldor Topsøe is supplying a wet gas sulphuric acid (WSA) plant at a new Río Seco industrial operation in Peru. The multi-flexible unit will both clean the H2S off-gases from an MnSO4 leaching process and burn elemental sulphur to make industrial grade sulphuric acid. The WSA plant can operate on 100 % H2S gas, 100 % elemental sulphur and any combination hereof. Topsøe’s scope covers all the basic and detailed engineering and equipment and materials required inside battery limits, license, catalysts and supervision during construction, commissioning and start-up in 2012.

Amec has won two definitive feasibility studies on uranium projects in Namibia.

Norbar Torque Wrench - Clampco UK

If you didn’t already know, Clampco offers a full range of quality Norbar Torque Wrenches that are all affordably priced. Norbar Torque Wrenches are well known for their quality & have been a world market leader in Torque Wrench technology for many years.

Clampco stocks the TruTorque Norbar Torque Wrench range but has access to the full Norbar product portfolio.

Norbar proudly celebrates 67 years of torque wrench manufacture with the launch of our new range – TruTorque. In engineering this new range, Norbar has paid close attention to accuracy, ease of setting and comfort in use.

Durability has been a primary development goal – both in terms of the lifetime of components and longevity of calibration accuracy.  Cycle testing of wrenches at full torque was a key element of the development process and, in total, several million tightening cycles were accumulated. The result is a product that you can use with complete confidence that you have the best tool for the job.

Accuracy: +/-3% of reading exceeds all international standards for torque wrenches. Each wrench is supplied with a traceable calibration certificate. Micrometer Scale for simple and error free setting. (On dual scale wrenches, the micrometer increment applies to the N.m scale). Quick and Light Adjustment: adjustment over the entire scale can quickly be achieved and with minimal effort in approximately ten complete turns (exact number varies by model). Adjustment Lock: all models feature a lock to prevent accidental adjustment of the set torque. Versatile Ratchets: the tough ratchets are reversible and a narrow engagement angle of 6° to allow easy positioning of the tool in the tight confines of today’s vehicles and machines. Comfortable, Durable Handle: the  handle is constructed using two materials: a base material for strength overlaid with a soft feel grip for comfort and slip resistance. The handle material and lens resist chemicals in common usage in the automotive, aviation and industrial environments. Bi-directional Torque: the ratchets are also ‘push through’ meaning that these wrenches will provide torque control in both the clockwise and anticlockwise directions.
