Systems and methods for removing organic contaminants from water may be used, for example, to treat produced water from a steam assisted heavy oil recovery operation. The treated produced water may be re-used to create steam. Alternatively, the produced water may be a blowdown stream treated to facilitate further treatment in a thermal crystallizer. The treatments may include pH adjustment or separating de-solubilized organics or both. Other treatments may include one or more of oxidation, sorption and biological treatments. The treatments may be used alone or in various combinations. One exemplary combination includes reducing the pH of produced water, separating de-solubilized organics from the produced water, and oxidizing the produced water or contacting the produced water with activated carbon.

A steam-generation management system remotely measures amounts of utility used by steam-generating systems; monitors and compares their performance against benchmarked performance; analyzes and determines causes for variances in their performance; and recommends to the steam user actions for achieving optimum operation. The steam-generation management also permits remote access and interaction by the user and allows for integrating steam-related information into an overall strategy for managing steam and energy supply.

A grit blasting and alkaline etch surface pretreatment that is applied to a metallic airfoil. The metallic airfoil includes pockets or cavities that have been fabricated into the airfoil to reduce the weight of the airfoil. The pretreatment includes grit blasting the surface of the pockets or cavities, followed by washing the airfoil and treating the airfoil in an alkaline etch bath. After any remaining solution from the bath is neutralized and within twenty-four hours of the end of the pretreatment, primer is applied to the surface of the pockets or cavities. After the primer is applied to the surface of the pockets, a lightweight resin is injected into the pockets and bonds to the primer forming a mechanical bond with good fracture toughness at elevated temperatures.
