Sand control

Sand control. Conventional well completions in soft formations (the compressive strength is less than 1,000 psi) [1] commonly produce formation sand or fines with fluids. These formations are usually geologically young (Tertiary age) and shallow, and they have little or no natural cementation. "Friable" and "Unconsolidated" are two …

IRON SAND | KASM

Molten pig iron is converted to steel in a KOBM oxygen steel making furnace, whereas an electric arc furnace is used for producing steel from scrap steel. The steel is continuously cast as slabs up to 1.55 m wide x 0.21 m thick x 10 m long and then later processed by hot and cold rolling into pipe, rectangular hollow section and flat products.

From ironsand to steel

This diagram illustrates the main steps in the production of steel in New Zealand. Ironsands are taken from the beach at Waikato North Head and reduced to an iron-rich concentrate. This is piped to the Glenbrook steel mill. There it is blended with coal from nearby Huntly and reduced to molten pig iron by smelting.

Dealing with New Zealand sandflies – a survival guide

Once they get within 6 meters of the victim, sandflies switch to visual hunting mode to help locate a suitable landing pad. Eventually, after continuous re-exposure, the human body's reaction to the allergen becomes less severe but don't expect to become immune overnight. It takes about 10,000 bites to desensitize.
