Non Methane Hydrocarbon (C2-C8) Sources and Sinks Around the Arabian Peninsula Efstratios Bourtsoukidis1, Lisa Ernle1, John N

Atmospheric Non Methane Hydrocarbons (NMHC) have been extensively studied around the globe due to their importance to atmospheric chemistry and their utility in emission source and chemical sink identification. This study reports on shipborne NMHC measurements made around the Arabian Peninsula during the AQABA (Air Quality and climate change in the Arabian BAsin) ship campaign. The ship traversed the Mediterranean Sea, the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, the Northern Indian Ocean and the Arabian Gulf, before returning by the same route. This region is one of the largest producers of oil and 15 gas (O&G); yet it is among the least studied. Atmospheric mixing ratios of C2-C8 hydrocarbons ranged from a few ppt in unpolluted regions (Arabian Sea) to several ppb over the Suez Canal and Arabian Gulf where a maximum of 166.5 ppb of alkanes was detected. The ratio between i-pentane and n-pentane was found to be 0.93 ± 0.03 ppb ppb-1 over the Arabian Gulf which is indicative of widespread O&G activities, while it was 1.71 ± 0.06 ppb ppb-1 in the Suez Canal which is a characteristic signature for ship emissions.

This conference highlighted the work that brought new fuels and power generation systems to reality. BACKGROUND In 1980, EPRI and the J01ich Nuclear Research Center, on behalf of the Fed- eral Republic of Germany's Federal Ministry for Research and Technology, cosponsored a conference on the status of technology for producing clean gaseous and liquid fuels from coal and shale oil (EPRI report WS-79-238). At that time, U.S. interest in such technologies was high because of the rapidly escalating petroleum prices caused by the OPEC oil embargo. Since then, the United States has curtailed its development program for liquid fuels. However, other countries have continued both synthetic fuels and coal gasification programs, and development of large-scale coal gasification sys- tems has continued at a brisk pace.

• Germany: the Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court Increases Fines
• Germany: The Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court increases Fines against Liquefied Petroleum Gas Cartel On 16 April 2013, the Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court - the Oberlandesgericht Düsseldorf (the Court) has imposed fines of € 244 000 000 on five members of the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cartel or their successors. The companies concerned are Friedrich Scharr KG; Primagas GmbH, Krefeld, now Salzgitter Gas GmbH; Progas GmbH & Co. KG, Dortmund; Sano-Propan GmbH, Nuremberg and Tyczka Totalgaz GmbH, Geretsried. The Court has raised the total amount of fines to a level higher than that imposed by the Bundeskartellamt (BKartA) on the companies concerned. In 2007, the BKartA had issued orders imposing fines totalling approximately € 180 000 000 on the five cartel participants. In its judgment, the Court confirmed that from July 1997 to April 2005 the companies concerned operated a system of customer protection agreements related to their sales of LPG for standard tanks of up to 2.9 T in order to eliminate competition between one another. Tanks of this type are used mainly by smaller commercial and household customers. Assisted by a system of so-called ‘notification of competition’ run by a logistics company - jointly operated by Transgas Flüssiggas Transport und Logistik GmbH & Co. KG - on which a fine was also imposed, the companies concerned agreed not to poach customers from one another. Customers wishing to switch supplier were either not quoted a price, or if so, only an excessive ‘deterrent price’. The decision of the Court to increase the amount of the fines is based on the duration of the agreement and the severity of the infringement.

Press Release 1 July 2021
Press release Westfalen AG Industrieweg 43 48155 Münster 1 July 2021 www.westfalen.com Hildegard Werth Editorial Office Corporate Communications Tel. +49 251 695-726 [email protected] Westfalen Group posts good results for 2020 Investments on record level in new technologies and locations despite corona The Westfalen Group had a good 2020 financial year. Although consolidated sales fell to € 1.59 billion (previous year: € 1.85 billion); however, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) rose to € 68.8 million (previous year: € 61.8 million). "Business development met our expectations and even exceeded them in terms of earnings," emphasizes CEO Dr. Thomas Perkmann. Together with Dr. Meike Schäffler (Operations/IT/HR) and Jesko von Stechow (Finance), he forms the Westfalen Group's Executive Board team. "We have mastered the challenges of the corona year and invested in new technologies and sites," summarizes Dr. Perkmann. Investments were significantly increased in 2020: at € 87.3 million, the Group's investment volume was 23.31 percent higher than in the previous year. This underscores the growth opportunities in Westfalen's markets. Gases: Specialty gases and hydrogen on the rise The increase in demand for hydrogen was particularly pleasing; sales of specialty gases also continued to rise. By contrast, there were declines in sales of technical gases and refrigerants. The Homecare product segment, which includes both gases for healthcare and medical technology products, posted an increase in sales. This good performance was driven in the Netherlands by increased market penetration and in Germany by an expansion in the supply of oxygen to patients.

Chapter 3 APPLICATION OF PYROLYSIS - GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY /MASS SPECTROMETRY IN FAILURE ANALYSIS IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY Peter Kusch * Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg, University of Applied Sciences , Department of Applied Natural Sciences, Rheinbach, Germany ABSTRACT The increasing use of polymeric materials, rubbers and chemical fluids, like mineral oils or brake fluids in the automotive industry, demands analytical techniques for the identification of high molecular weight organic compounds. For failure analysis in motor vehicles there is often a lack of information about the component itself, such as chemical composition, temperature resistance, possible contaminants or mechanical properties. The damage range is usually limited and not always homogeneous. Very often only small amounts of samples are available, which may be important for recognizing the cause of damage. Traditional analytical techniques used for characterization of high molecular weight organic compounds, such as thermal analysis (TA) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), are limited or not sufficiently sensitive to demonstrate the change of the structure and the * Corresponding author.
