re: How many gallons have leaked into the gulf so far?
Posted by hurricanecentral on 5/31/10 at 2:44 pm
My bad. You're right. I work in the chemical industry and we work with 55 gal drums every day. There are 42 gallons of oil in a barrel. I stand corrected... :spank:...

IMO, algae oil looks the most promising. At least our gas tanks wouldn't be competing with out stomachs. Algae farms can be set up anywhere, even in the middle of the dessert as long as fresh water can be pumped in. Additionally, I read that one acre of algae oil production can yield 100,000 gallons...

Only drums that are fill 80% as per DOT shipping qualifications are 42. A drum holds 55 gallons. So, that number is a bit grey, I guess....

Well, let's calculate this and see. Deepwate Horizon blew on April 20th, so it has been spewing, according to estimates, a minimum of about 4500 barrels of HC's per day...minimum. Therefore, as of today, 31 days into May plus the last ten in April starting on the 20th brings us to a total of 41 days...

It would just accelerate what is going to happen naturally. It will definitely disrupt efforts temporarily. It is going to be a mess either way. Just think, this is one rig. There are between 700-800 more of these operating out there... :nana:...

If it is 75000 barrels per day that is a substantial withdrawal rate. Can you say "[link=(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_seismicity)]induced seismicity[/link]"?...
re: A possible explanation of what happened on the Deepwater Horizon
Posted by hurricanecentral on 5/11/10 at 4:54 am
My hat is off to anybody to works on or has worked on a deep-water rig. I have spent the last ten working heavily with the products produced in the nat gas and petro chem industries. I have a whole new respect for the guys that tap this stuff and bring it to us to use....
From a petro engineer friend of mine...

The current administration has halted drilling and is denying all permits until the "new standard" is met.
NEWSFLASH! The new standard apparently doesn't even exist yet!
Biased special interests perhaps?

re: How do you cook rack or lamb and leg of lamb?
Posted by hurricanecentral on 4/13/10 at 3:29 am
I was also wondering where you get your lamb. I used to buy it at Albertsons but I haven't seen it there in quite some time.
Also, be careful, usually, you need to marinate it to negate the potential gamey flavor.
I would google some marinades that will quench it or it might be unbearable like...

re: Old Smokey Electric Smoker
Posted by hurricanecentral on 4/12/10 at 7:20 am
I had something similar a couple of years ago. It was a three level bullet smoker with a water pan. I would lite up hot coals in my chimney starter pour them in the bottom, add some wet wood chips to the top and smoke every meat I could get my hands on and just make an afternoon of it with friends. ...
