I recommend everyone to pay attention to very favorable rates https://smart-mining.com/en/prices/?ref=165 I’ve been mining myself for years, and I’m glad that I’m working with this company.

Therefore, it is necessary to measure sulfur in oil correctly. This problem is often the reason for such processes. In addition, nowadays a lot is being imported even for industrial use of bad oil, which needs detailed testing. We did it at the enterprise for good reason. I can tell you from myself that it is better to have such a special portable spectrometer, you can look at this link , it just describes how it works and what options are available. For example, it helped me a lot that I found one, it came in handy for my work and we sent back the third batch of poor quality oil, it's just amazing in reality.

The government fined them $4.5 billion. But that's nothing compared to the damage done. And we are paying their fine for them by buying their oil and gasoline.


Oil eating microbes are destroying sunken Nazi sub thanks to the Deepwater Horizon spill



Remember when British Petroleum (BP), Halliburton, and ConocoPhillips indiscriminately dumped tens of thousands of gallons of Corexit into the Gulf of Mexico to supposedly remedy the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil disaster? Well according to experts, this nasty chemical concoction is still floating around in that giant “bathtub,” and is actually now eating away at a submerged German U-boat that was sunk back in 1942 during World War II.

Photographic evidence reveals that the sunken Nazi vessel has basically become an all-you-can-eat buffet for the microscopic chemical byproducts of Corexit that are reportedly now feeding on the U-166, which was only recently discovered in 2001, “at an accelerated rate,” according to scientists.

Researchers from the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) say that, after Corexit’s anaerobic bacteria feed on the carbon and sulfur in crude oil, they generate a waste product that’s capable of corroding metal, which is exactly what’s happening to the sunken German U-166.

“The metal loss has accelerated after the spill and that’s very unusual,” stated USM Professor Leila Hamdan to New Scientist about the strange phenomenon.
