United States Navy Hospital Corpsman
HOSPITAL CORPSMAN “Health is necessary in war and cannot be replaced by anything else. Napoleon The primary mission of the Medical Department of the United States Navy, of which the Hospital Corps is a part, is s To keep as many men at as many guns as many days as possible As a member of the Hospital Corps you can contribute directly to the job of keeping our guns firing. There is no better way to serve your country and your fellow man. If you can qualify for admission to the Hospital Corps, the Navy will train you for your duties. Prepared for the Occupational information and Guidance Service, Vocational Division, U. S. OFFICE OF EDUCATION, Federal Security Agency, by the Hospital Corps Section, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, UNITED STATES NAVY . December 1, 1943 INTRODUCTION From its very beginning as an established Corps in 1898 the Hospital Corps of the United States Navy has been devoted to humanitarian service. It has administered first aid and nursing care to the sick and injured of the Navy and Marine Corps during three of the Nation’s wars, and through the many years of intervening peace. For more than a century prior to its organization by act of Congress* the pioneers of the Hospital Corps—the Hospital Mates, the Hospital Stewards, the Surgeon’s Stewards, the Apothecaries, the Nurses and the Bay men—served faithfully and energetically in the Medical Department of the Navy. On numerous occasions of the past members of the Hospital Corps have been assigned to civilian areas for first-aid and relief work in times of disaster. -
Refinery Wastewater Management Using Multiple Angle Oil-Water Separators
REFINERY WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT USING MULTIPLE ANGLE OIL-WATER SEPARATORS Kirby S. Mohr, P.E. Mohr Separations Research, Inc. 1278 FM 407 Suite 109 Lewisville, TX 75077 Phone: 918-299-9290 Cell: 918-269-8710 John N. Veenstra, Ph.D., P.E., Oklahoma State University Dee Ann Sanders, Ph.D., P.E. Oklahoma State University A paper presented at the International Petroleum Environment Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico, 1998 ABSTRACT In this work, an overview of oil-water separation, as used in the petroleum refining industries, is presented along with case studies. Discussions include: impact of solids, legal aspects, and differing types of systems currently in use, along with their advantages and disadvantages. Performance information on separators is presented with an emphasis on new multiple angle coalescing plate technology for refinery wastewater management. Several studies are presented including a large (20,000 US GPM flow rate) system recently installed at a major US refinery. The separator was constructed by converting two existing API separators into four separators, and adding multiple angle coalescing plates to increase throughput and efficiency. A year of operating experience with this system indicates good performance and few problems. Other examples provide information on separators installed in the United States and other countries. Keywords: Oil-water separator, multiple angle, coalescence, refinery, wastewater management, petroleum, coalescing plate technology BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION Oil has been refined for various uses for at least 1000 years. An Arab handbook written by Al-Razi, in approximately 865 A.D., describes distillation of “naft” (naphtha) for use in lamps and thus the beginning of oil refining (Forbes). -

We Need a Hospital Ship – Stat! TIM Mcdermott © 2016 Frontline Defence (Vol 13, No 4)
We Need a Hospital Ship – Stat! TIM McDERMOTT © 2016 FrontLine Defence (Vol 13, No 4) As the new Liberal Government seeks to redefine Canada’s role in world affairs, perhaps it is time to look at new alternatives to the way Canada has traditionally responded to international crises, particularly in the humanitarian role. Acquiring a Canadian Government Hospital Ship capability would offer new options for Canadian response such as: enhancing Canadian soft power; improving Canada’s ability to respond to a natural disaster; providing increased health care services to Canadians located in remote Northern and coastal communities; and also in stimulating the economy. Hospital ships are internationally protected in accordance with Protocol 1 of the Geneva Conventions of 1949. They are lit and marked to indicate their purpose as a hospital ship. They must not be used for military purposes and must be unarmed (beyond small arms required for security). They are subject to search by belligerents in a conflict and must not interfere with any combatant vessels. USNS Mercy (1986) and Comfort (1987), the two U.S. Hospital Ships, were converted from San Clemente-class supertankers. Shown below, Mercy’s last mission was in 2013, when she arrived in the Phillippines area to provide aid in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan. Hospital Ships are different from Casualty Receiving and Transport Ships (CRTS), which are typically warships with a secondary role of providing limited medical support to one side in a conflict. Examples of a CRTS would include vessels such as U.S. Navy amphibious ships, the French Mistral-class ships, and the proposed multi-role logistics support ship for Canada.
