The document summarizes Howard Heffington's project interning with the Marathon Oil Company's Louisiana Refining Division water treatment sales team. Heffington's objectives were to observe water treatment salesmen, improve his technical and communication skills, and utilize his skills to help the team make a sale. His project involved collecting data on a cooling water antifoulant product called Drewsperse 6935 that was being tested at the refinery to prevent fouling in heat exchangers. Through data analysis in Excel, he created a system to monitor fouling factors in the exchangers over time. While disappointed a sale was not finalized, Heffington concluded that he benefited from the experience working with the sales and applications engineers
CLOSING THE GAP BETWEEN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT: CONDITION MONITORING IN ROT...webwinkelvakdag
SKF is a worldwide producer of bearings (in Dutch: kogellagers) which are present in many machinery types, such as wind turbines, cars and trains. During this talk we will give an introduction in vibration signal analysis to diagnose the state of this rotating equipment. By estimating the health condition of a machine using accelerometer signals, we can decrease the amount of unexpected failures and thus optimize maintenance costs. A key ingredient in these types of equipment are roller-element bearings which facilitate a rotating movement by having multiple rolling elements placed between two rings. By measuring the vibrations generated by these bearings at a sampling rate of many kilohertz we can monitor its condition and detect certain types of defects. An introduction to frequency domain analysis will be given, where key signal features related to certain bearing defects will be explained. Furthermore, we will look at how these processed signals are used to feed a machine learning model. To gather the data we need and to make sure we have enough computational power, we also built a scalable data platform on AWS, containing both prototyping and production capabilities. The platform is based on Airflow, Docker, and EMR. We will discuss the considerations we made in building this platform and show the final result. This tech talk is interesting for both data scientists and data engineers.
Design of Effective Stormwater Treatment Systems for Water Qualitystrinkaus
Discusses the importance of properly designing stormwater treatment systems to effectively remove pollutants from stormwater and how not to construction bioretention systems
The list of failed big data projects is long. They leave end-users, data analysts and data scientists frustrated with long lead times for changes. This case study will illustrate how to make changes to big data, models, and visualizations quickly, with high quality, using the tools teams love. We synthesize techniques from devOps, Demming, and direct experience.

Overview of Lean and in Supply chain management and Warehouse distribution, identifying the value and NVA steps, streamlining the supply-distribution network to reduce warehouse storage, inventory and lead time
Presented by Todd Bush of Energent Group at The Energy Forum in Houston, Texas (modified from original to remove sensitive data). The purpose of the Haynesville Refrac Study was to determine operators, service companies, and suppliers involved in refracs. 40 initial completions and refracs were examined to understand economics, performance, and products. Most refracs utilized less proppant & showed ROI within 12 months. Production uplift varied across operators & material used.
