NORM waste must be carried out safely. This requires the assistance of a highly qualified team of experienced professionals. And 'common practice to dispose of NORM in the sea, but this can be done only with the express consent of the competent authorities. If there is oil pollution in the norm, should at least be reduced to an acceptable level, but preferably removed all together.
And the disposal at sea, NORM can be safely disposed of by sealing them andDeposit it in an appropriate location. Oil wells have been abandoned or are exhausted and no longer useful to make places for the disposal of NORM. After entering the NORM sealed in an old well or tank, the cavity is then inserted in a secure and sealed to prevent the escape of NORM.
It 'also possible to build a configuration tailored to the long-term storage of NORM. This has the disadvantage that requires close monitoring. There is also a more expensive option compared to the NORM wastecan not only be sealed and forgotten. It 'also possible but less frequently NORM to be treated with a chemical process.
It should not surprise that the NORM waste management is one of the most highly regulated health and safety in the oil and gas, and one of the most highly regulated of all sectors. For this reason, the containment must be the removal, transportation and disposal standards and methods of detection may be performed firstof well-trained and trusted experts.
The devices that come into contact with the Regulations, must be cleaned regularly. Scale can accumulate and develop the various tools that are used in oil and gas production, and these must be removed and disposed of. This requires regular program of ongoing maintenance and security monitoring.
Management and disposal of NORM waste starts with the registration process its presence. RadiationProtection supervisors to constantly monitor and measure inspection with carefully calibrated equipment, the radiation can. This is done to reduce the risk for all workers who may come into contact with NORM.
Equipment that has been contaminated by NORM need descaling and at an acceptable level of radioactivity. Water jet, or the use of high pressure water jets are usually the first approach. This proved very convenient andmore efficient. According to this method, the de-scaled NORM waste is disposed of safely.
NORM waste management has become an inevitable part of the oil and gas practice. It 'almost impossible to avoid the accumulation of naturally occurring radioactive materials, so the only available solution is a careful collection, disassembly, transport and final disposal.
