Health | The use of high dose rate brachytherapy (HDR) has been increasing, although more studies are needed to define optimal fractionation schemes as well as long-term complications of this method. (references) | |
Pending further study, the use of HDR fractionation schemes that demonstrate rates of local control equivalent to LDR techniques and use smaller dose per fraction are recommended to decrease the probability of long-term complications with HDR. Interstitial therapy has been used for unusual or difficult tumor geometry. (references) | ||
Business | Advanced technologies have not been adopted including ion exchange, chromatographic fractionation, membrane separation, statically separation filiation, mercury cathode electrolysis, vapor liquidation, and column separation. (references) | |
Shedgum and Uthmaniyah treat a stream composed of ethane and NGLs while Berri, Abqaiq and Ras Tanura process propane and heavier NGLs. The fractionation plants split the liquid stream into ethane, propane, butane and natural gasoline. (references) | ||
The liquids stream from the Shedgum and Uthmaniyah plants is sent to an NGL fractionation plant at Ju'aymah on the Gulf or via a pipeline to another fractionation plant in Yanbu on the Red Sea. The liquids from Berri are pumped either to Ju'aymah or to a fractionation system at Ras Tanura, which also receives gas from Abqaiq and the Ras Tanura Refinery. (references) | ||
Economic History | Uae | Two 140,000 barrel per day (b/d) condensate distillation trains were commissioned in 2000, thus tripling the refining capacity at the facility in Ruwais and bringing total refining capacity to more than 500,000 b/d. In June 1996, ADNOC signed a joint venture deal with Borealis, a Norwegian-Finnish firm, to construct a 450,000 ton-per-year (TPY) polyethylene plant near the existing natural gas liquid (NGL) fractionation plant in Ruwais.
