Best practices for maintenance of FRF in turbine EHC system
What is a Turbine EH System?
Tumblr media
Due to high steam pressure & temperature in the vicinity of a steam turbine, as safety compliance, it is a mandate to use Fire Resistant Fluids (FRF) for hydraulic control of the EHC system. A specially designed synthetic fluid called tri-xylenyl phosphate ester demonstrates best fire resistant properties for the application.
Phosphate esters are polar fluids with excellent lubricating properties that can operate under extreme conditions. However, phosphate esters require strict control in order to extend their useful lifespan.
Water and Acids de-grade FRF
Phosphate esters (which are being used as FRF in EHC systems) are manufactured under controlled environment through the esterification of phosphoric acid, where water is a by-product.
Phosphoric Acid + Alcohol → Phosphate Ester + Water
Unfortunately, phosphate esters are highly hygroscopic (tendency to absorb water) in nature and the esterification process is reversible when phosphate esters come in contact with water. This is referred to as hydrolysis. The higher the water content and temperature, the faster the ester will break down by hydrolysis.
Phosphate Ester + Water → Phosphoric Acid or Acid Phosphates + Alcohol
Thereby it is recommended to control the water level, temperature, and acidity in FRF of the EHC systems. If uncontrolled, the acidity accelerates rapidly.
TAN value or Total Acid Number (measured in unit mgKOH/gm) is a parameter to denote acid content accumulation in FRF. A high TAN value degrades the fluid rapidly, decreases its viscosity and resistivity. Thereby causing acid corrosion of sensitive servo-valves and other system components of an EH System.
FRF de-gradation due to particles
Water and acid are not the only contaminants which can degrade the FRF.
Since the dynamic oil film and fine clearances in servo-valves are less than 5 micron, even the finest silt particles and sludge/varnish deposits from fluid degradation can hinder proper operation. Fine particles get trapped in clearances between the valve plunger and housing. This abrasive wear is known as seizing or grinding. This can result in wear rates that are a thousand times greater than anticipated by the valve manufacturer. Therefore, it only makes sense to use very fine filtration (3-5 micron) for maintaining the EHC fluid. For any Technical Consultancy Call - +91 89751 50700
Consequences of FRF de-gradation
Acid, gel and sludge/varnish formation
Valve sticking or blocking
Reduced lubricity and film strength
Corrosion, erosion and abrasion wear
Reduced fluid resistivity
Soot generation (entrained air)
Short fluid life
The result is poor EHC system reliability and reduced turbine availability.
Condition based monitoring of FRF
It is highly recommended to carry out regular fluid analysis of FRF and identify any abnormalities in the trend for further preventive actions. Recommended parameter values for FRF: Parameter unit value Appearance ASTM colour code clear, < 3 Water content ppm 500 Kinematic Viscosity (@40 0C) cSt 41-45 Acidity (TAN) mgKOH/gm < 0.15 Particle contamination code ISO 4406 15/12 Cleanliness code (NAS-1638) NAS 1638 5

FC3S
T04E turbine equipped FC is fully tuned & fully certified
garage Carrera
3-29-15 Wakagi, Itabashi-ku, Tokyo 147 03-5398-1565
Now is the time to buy FC3S. There are many cars available in the market and it is easy to choose. If you miss this period, the rest will be good.
There will only be less and less, and prices will go up accordingly. This garage Carrera FC3S has been properly tuned, and the price is 1.55 million yen. For the tune menu, I replaced the turbine with T04E , added 7200x2 to the original computer, and controlled the fuel with AIC. The intercooler is an Amemiya two-layer type, the waste gate is a TRUST racing type, and the muffler is a 90 mid-range sports type.
Although it is a 1st year model, this is all there is to it.
It's been done, fully certified, and 1.55 million yen is cheap. Surprisingly, the mileage is only 48,000km, so I'm sure the engine has a lot more to offer. The only exterior features include Amemiya's Type 1 rear spoiler and Yours' aero mirror. The suspension has Esprit. It has a casual appearance and gives off an atmosphere dedicated to driving. In fact, seeing that the 5-point system was installed in the roll cage, the previous owner must have been very picky about running. The FC's body rigidity was low, especially in this part with the large hatch. This twisting of the body is the reason why even if you keep your feet steady, you still feel ambiguous near the limit. The purpose of building a roll cage is to increase safety in the event of a fall, as well as increase body rigidity. Even a 5-point system is quite effective. Driving on the circuit in the same condition as purchased
I think I can make a good time If you look at the actual 5-point system installed in the roll
PIC CAPTIONS
●Neatly laid out white meters are lined up inside the glove box. The interior is so clean that it's hard to believe it's a very old FC.
●Equipped with a 5-point roll cage. The increased rigidity around the rear makes suspension settings easier. It seems to be a must-have item for younger model FCs.
●The T04E turbine does not have peaky output characteristics, so it is easy to handle. The low sound quality that comes from the sports muffler gives off an atmosphere of great power.

A major misconception in the Green, Environmentalist, Solarpunk, and adjacent movements is that Combustion Technology and other "Dirty" Technologies are necessarily damaging to our Environment.
These Technologies have become so damaging to the Environment because of their ever continually expanding Exploitative use, as a product of Capitalism.
This misconception comes from the Green movement being both a Political and Aesthetic movement. A significant part of the Green movement is imagining an Aspirational Future- in opposition to the problems of the Present and Cataclysmic Future of ongoing Climate Change.
A typical Image of a Green Future is one of whitewashed towers adorned with solar panels and geodesic domes, underneath churning wind turbines and blimps, all this broken up by corridors of green fruit bearing foliage.
Green Aesthetics aspire to a Green Future with Technology that is itself Non-Exploitative- of both Nature and Humanity, that at least appears to be Scientific, and above all "Clean".
A typical Green image of the Cataclysmic Future- the "Climate Apocalypse"- is one of thick black smog clogging up the sky, endless fields of dry cracked earth, masses of people huddled hungry sleeping outside, men in dark clothes carrying heavy guns to hold hostage the last drop of oil.
The Green imagination of the Cataclysmic Future is exaggerated reflection of the horrors of Modern Capitalism- a future in which Technology is Violent, Crude, and "Dirty".
The Cataclysmic Future is an Uncontrollable Factory of Human Suffering. The Green Future is a neatly Maintained Garden of Ecological Harmony. Our Technology then gains a mythological character of its own, it becomes a Behemoth of a deeper more powerful Nature, a Behemoth of "Human Nature" to be conquered.
This is not to say that burning Fossil Fuels doesn't create CO2 emissions that have lead to Climate Change, or that their extraction doesn't pollute local ecosystems- rather that Combustion Technology can and will continue to warm people's homes after we dismantle Capitalism, without the Exploitation.
In this myth we forget that Technology is in the hands of people, Technology is as violent as the system it is used under, and as clean as the means by which it was created. It is a mater of seizing it from the powerful.
This myth also obfuscates the ongoing nature of the Climate Crisis, that the continues to compound the stresses of Late Capitalism and Colonialism on the Global Working Class. The Factory of Human Suffering is already here, and yet it is only a Factory. It was created by people, is maintained by people, and will be destroyed by people- all we need is a Strike.
Capitalism will not survive the Climate Crisis- but we will. No one can say what the world will look like on the other side, but it wont be a Garden or a Factory- at least one that is totally in or out of our control.
We do not need any newly Invented Technology to grasp the Future, we will use whatever tools we have when we get there.

Solar Paints – Can Coating Buildings with Solar Technology Power the Future?
Water scarcity is one of the most pressing global challenges of the 21st century. According to the United Nations, more than 2 billion people live in countries experiencing high water stress, and this figure is expected to rise as the global population grows and climate change exacerbates existing water shortages. While traditional water sources such as rivers, lakes, and groundwater are crucial, many regions—especially arid or drought-prone areas—are increasingly turning to desalination as a solution. Desalination, the process of removing salt and other impurities from seawater to make it potable, has been growing in popularity. However, conventional desalination methods are energy-intensive and costly, relying primarily on fossil fuels, which undermines their sustainability.
To address this issue, wind-powered desalination is emerging as a promising solution. By harnessing the power of wind—one of the cleanest and most abundant renewable energy sources—wind-powered desalination could provide a sustainable, low-carbon alternative to traditional desalination technologies. This analysis explores how wind-powered desalination works, its potential to mitigate water scarcity, and the role of Telkom University, entrepreneurship, and laboratories in driving innovation and making this technology viable for widespread use.
How Wind-Powered Desalination Works
The basic principle of wind-powered desalination combines two existing technologies: wind energy and reverse osmosis desalination.
1. Wind Energy
Wind energy is captured through wind turbines, which convert the kinetic energy from the wind into electrical energy. Wind turbines consist of large blades that spin when the wind blows, turning a rotor connected to a generator. The electrical energy generated is then used to power various systems, including desalination processes.
In a typical wind-powered desalination system, the electricity produced by the wind turbines is used to power reverse osmosis (RO) pumps. Reverse osmosis is a filtration process that forces seawater through a semi-permeable membrane, which removes salt and other impurities, leaving behind fresh, drinkable water. The use of wind energy to power the RO process eliminates the need for fossil fuels and drastically reduces the carbon footprint of desalination operations.
2. Reverse Osmosis Desalination
Reverse osmosis has become the most common method of desalination due to its efficiency and effectiveness. The process uses a high-pressure pump to push seawater through a membrane, leaving the salt and other contaminants behind. However, the traditional energy-intensive nature of this process can make it unsustainable in the long term, especially in regions where energy costs are high and access to clean energy is limited. By pairing wind energy with reverse osmosis, the overall energy consumption is significantly reduced, making desalination more cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
Benefits of Wind-Powered Desalination
1. Renewable and Clean Energy Source
The primary advantage of wind-powered desalination is its reliance on renewable energy. Wind energy is abundant, clean, and sustainable. Unlike conventional desalination methods, which rely on fossil fuels such as natural gas or oil, wind-powered desalination produces no greenhouse gas emissions, making it a low-carbon solution for water production. This aligns with the global push toward reducing carbon footprints and addressing climate change. In addition, wind power is becoming increasingly competitive in terms of cost, with the price of wind-generated electricity continuing to decline due to technological advances and economies of scale.
2. Cost-Effectiveness
Desalination is often criticized for being expensive, particularly in regions where water scarcity is most acute. The cost of producing fresh water through traditional desalination methods can be prohibitive, particularly in developing countries. Wind-powered desalination has the potential to significantly reduce these costs by using an inexpensive and abundant energy source. Although the initial cost of installing wind turbines and desalination infrastructure can be high, the long-term operational costs are much lower compared to fossil fuel-based systems. Over time, as wind technology continues to improve and become cheaper, wind-powered desalination could provide an economically viable solution for many regions facing water shortages.
3. Scalability and Flexibility
One of the most compelling aspects of wind-powered desalination is its scalability. Wind turbines can be installed in a variety of settings, from small coastal villages to large urban areas. Moreover, wind-powered desalination systems can be easily scaled up or down based on local needs. In regions where the demand for fresh water is high, larger wind farms and desalination plants can be developed, while in smaller, off-grid communities, smaller systems can be deployed. This flexibility makes wind-powered desalination a versatile solution for addressing water scarcity across a wide range of geographical and economic contexts.
4. Reduced Environmental Impact
Traditional desalination methods are notorious for their environmental impact, particularly in terms of energy consumption and brine disposal. Desalination plants produce large volumes of salty brine as a byproduct, which must be disposed of properly to avoid harming marine ecosystems. Wind-powered desalination offers a more sustainable approach by reducing the energy demand, and thus the environmental footprint, of desalination processes. Moreover, the development of more efficient brine management systems and the integration of wind energy can help mitigate some of the environmental challenges traditionally associated with desalination.
Challenges of Wind-Powered Desalination
While the potential benefits of wind-powered desalination are clear, there are several challenges that must be addressed before it can be deployed on a large scale.
1. Intermittency of Wind Energy
One of the main drawbacks of wind energy is its intermittency. Wind does not blow consistently, which can create challenges for powering desalination processes. In areas where wind resources are unreliable, the operation of wind-powered desalination plants may be inconsistent. To address this issue, energy storage systems, such as batteries or hydrogen storage, can be used to store excess wind energy for use during periods of low wind. Alternatively, hybrid systems that combine wind energy with other renewable sources like solar power can help ensure a steady energy supply.
2. High Initial Costs
Although wind-powered desalination has the potential to reduce long-term operational costs, the initial investment required for building wind farms and desalination plants can be high. The cost of installing the necessary infrastructure—wind turbines, desalination units, and energy storage systems—may be prohibitive for some regions. However, as technology continues to improve and economies of scale take effect, the cost of these systems is expected to decrease over time.
3. Location Limitations
The effectiveness of wind-powered desalination systems is largely dependent on the location of both the wind turbines and the desalination plant. Wind resources are more abundant in certain regions, such as coastal or offshore areas, and less so in others. Therefore, the technology may not be suitable for all geographical locations, particularly in inland areas that are far from the coast or regions with insufficient wind resources.
The Role of Telkom University, Entrepreneurship, and Laboratories
Telkom University in Indonesia, known for its focus on technology and innovation, is well-positioned to play a key role in the development and implementation of wind-powered desalination technologies. The university’s laboratories, particularly those focused on renewable energy, can conduct vital research on improving the efficiency of wind turbines, desalination processes, and energy storage systems. Through research and development, Telkom University can help optimize these technologies to make them more cost-effective and suitable for different regions.
Additionally, entrepreneurship plays a crucial role in driving innovation in green technologies. Telkom University’s incubators and entrepreneurial programs can support startups focused on wind-powered desalination, providing them with the resources and expertise needed to bring new products to market. By fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration between academia, industry, and government, Telkom University can help accelerate the adoption of this promising technology.
Conclusion
Wind-powered desalination represents a transformative solution to the global water scarcity crisis. By combining the clean energy of wind with the efficiency of reverse osmosis desalination, this technology offers a sustainable and cost-effective way to produce fresh water, especially in regions facing chronic water shortages. While challenges such as intermittency and high initial costs remain, ongoing advances in technology, energy storage, and hybrid systems will likely address these issues over time. Telkom University, through its laboratories, entrepreneurship initiatives, and collaborative efforts, is well-positioned to contribute to the development and deployment of wind-powered desalination technologies, helping to make clean water more accessible to communities around the world. As the technology continues to evolve, wind-powered desalination could play a vital role in addressing the dual challenges of water scarcity and climate change.

Water also destroys computers, and anything that runs off electricity, so the odds that this cooling process involves dumping the water straight up directly onto the machines seems really, really unlikely. I would assume that water heat sinks involve pumping cold water through pipes in the machines, not literally dumping water on computers.
The ocean is very, very, very, very big. Also rising. If you consumed as much ocean water as there is drinkable water on the planet, you'd see an effect, sure, but you could literally remove billions of gallons of water from the ocean and have it be a proverbial "drop in the bucket". Since the tides are constantly sloshing the water in the ocean around, there will be no local "we drained a lot of water in this one coastal region so now the water is low there" effects; drain water in one region and the tide will fill it back in more or less instantly. It's the ocean, not a lake.
What you'd have to be careful about is the impact on fish and other sea life so they don't get sucked into the pipeline. Fine grates, maybe pumping in pulses so if a fish gets sucked against the grate the suction will be gone in a second so they can get out of there... maybe there are sounds or colors that could be employed underwater that would drive most sea life away. Don't put the entrance to the pipeline on the beach or directly on the sea bed; it should probably sit inside the water at a reasonably deep coastal level but with plenty of clearance, so as to not suck in sessile creatures who live on the bottom.
The pipeline itself would consume electricity -- the ocean's at the bottom of the gravity well of the planet's surface, you can't use gravity to passively pull the water back out. But by employing wave turbines, you can recapture a lot of the energy you put into pumping back out as power you can reuse. No such thing as a perpetual motion machine, but if by using seawater to fuel solar steam plants in places like deserts you can make back more energy than you had before, you've got a net positive outcome in terms of energy.
Issues to consider:
A salt water pipe breaking would be almost as toxic as an oil pipe breaking. And salt's corrosive to metal. You'd have to be careful what you made it out of, be constantly checking, and have baffles that will drop the moment there's a loss of local water pressure anywhere in the pipe, and a means of instantly and automatically stopping the pump if that happens. And protection of the pipeline to stop bad actors from deliberate sabotage.
Solar power plants can have an impact on the local environment if they block sun that plants and animals need. On the other hand, global warming suggests that what plants and animals need right now is a lot less sun overall, so creating areas of shade in places that don't have them might actually be good for the life in those places.
The whole system requires a lot of industries to cooperate. If solar steam plants or data centers dump their salt in giant piles in the desert rather than letting spice companies sell it as sea salt, this could be very bad for the environment. If rich people are allowed to fill their swimming pools with it, this has enormous political benefits for the pipeline because as soon as the rich feel entitled to it, they will make sure it stays working and stable, but then what happens if the data centers need more and more?
I don't pretend to have all the answers but I don't think any of the difficulties are insurmountable. Humans are using very, very little of the resource of ocean water, on a planetary basis... a resource we're getting more and more of as the seas rise, and as the heat dries up freshwater sources on land, we're going to need desalinization on a massive scale. Integrate that desalinization with industries that need to use water but it doesn't have to be fresh water, especially industries that could turn moving water or heated water into power in a way that's clean, and we could build a system that helps to solve multiple problems at once.
(BTW, this is not an issue of AI. This is an issue of data centers. The whole goddamn internet is to blame, not just AI, and even if AI collapsed and burned tomorrow we would still need to do something about cooling our data centers without using up drinkable water.)

Common mistakes of Oil Sampling and how to avoid them?
Tumblr media
Routine Oil sampling and analysis are crucial for a successful maintenance program. It provides important information to determine the condition of the equipment. Sampling is a vital procedure for collecting fluid from machinery for the purpose of oil analysis. The results and reports of oil analysis depend on the quality of the oil sample. Thus, oil sampling must be performed keeping some important goals in mind -
To MAXIMIZE the Data Density.
To MAXIMIZE Consistency.
To MAXIMIZE Relevance.
To MINIMIZE Data Disturbance.
There can be three ways of extracting samples from a component - drain port, drop-tube (in a vacuum pump), and a dedicated sampling point. A common mistake is taking an oil sample from the reservoir in circulating and hydraulic systems. Taking samples from the tank is not a best practice. If the sample is taken from the drain lines before emptying the tank, the concentration of wear metal would be much higher. Let’s discuss the common mistakes of oil sampling which can be avoided -
Some sampling methods are simply used for convenience, like inadequate flushing, using a vacuum pump (drop-tube sampling), usage of uncleaned bottles, etc. By following these bad practices, the quality of the sample taken is not apt and reliable.
If the samples are collected from the bottom of the tank and sumps, they may show higher concentrations of the sediments and water.
If the samples are consistently collected from the turbulent zones of reservoirs and tanks may not give reliable information.
Sometimes the sample is collected consistently from downstream of pressure-line or off-line. In this case, sampling accuracy is not given importance.
Samples collected from cold systems would not give correct information as the contaminants and other insoluble suspended particles would be settled when at rest.
Dead zone fluids like standpipe, regenerative loops, etc. give wrong results as they possess different properties than that working fluids.
Subscribe to our website blog for more technical articles and case studies: Click here
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has some defined codes which are mostly used as the primary reviewed piece of data. Being consistent is important with sampling. It is not advisable to use different sampling methods. Let’s discuss certain must-follow sampling rules for oil analysis -
Collect samples from running machines not from cold machines or stand-by machines. It is always advisable to start the machine and take the sample and the time of sample should be when the machine is at its peak of stress.
What, when, who, where, and how should be defined for oil sampling procedures as well, just like maintenance procedures are defined in detail. Changing the sampling methods or location is not advisable.
Use a specific sample point based on the type of lubricant, pressure, and the fluid required.
A sample must be taken in a bottle of the correct size and cleanliness. To get more information on bottle cleanliness, ISO 3722 can be referred to.
Oil sampling is like examining the condition of the system for that point in time. It is advisable not to wait for more than 24 hours to send the samples for oil analysis. This is because the health of the system may change in a very short period. Early detection would help in early remedy.
Maintain proper frequency of taking samples. Don’t do it whenever you feel like doing it. There should be an appropriate frequency so that important maintenance decisions could be taken on time.
One of the major problems in oil sampling is cross-contamination. Don’t use dirty sampling equipment. Flushing is the solution to this which is often overlooked and the selection of suitable clear media is equally important.
Though every system has a unique consideration of sampling, the above-mentioned tips can be applied and taken care of for your sampling techniques/methods. Start applying it Today!!

I'm not going to argue with a bird enthusiast about their compassion for birds. I believe them. I am grateful they exist. What I will argue against is these massive energy construction projects. Just like the craze for building hydroelectric dams, this newest iteration has proven to be the same story as that was. Dams have proven to be harmful to the water table, the river ecologies, local communities, floodplains, and even geology in terms of seismic effects and deformation of bedrock. They've nearly all built up silt to the point of costing more than they are worth without reasonable down-time to clean out planned because they demand being brought back online to the powergrid so quickly. And that silt builds up quickly! Massive construction projects tend to displace responsibility, abdicate it. They don't make people aware of the reality of modern infrastructure or the dynamics of their lifestyle in the role of culture. It brushes the problems under the rug, out of sight, out of mind, no personal changes or accountability needed. "There's an app for that!" mentality. Below are some points that basically make themselves. Just like the deluded mass-industry mentality behind the logistics of massive lithium-ion powerbanks for houses, or for cars, or for the electrical grid itself-- the use of iron for these wind turbines and mass energy projects is distorted and wasteful-- unsustainable. The amount of lithium used for an EV car battery could equal hundreds of electronic devices such as medical or even mere personal use devices like cellphones and laptops. Instead, the model of planned/engineered obsolescence that is perpetuated by capitalist consumerism not only makes those electronics wasteful in design, but also in resource logistics-- so nobody would ever even see how they deserve to be the way that the lithium is allocated to begin with instead. With the amount of iron and fossil fuels expended in constructing these wind turbines, a whole global system of nickel-iron (ferro-nickel) batteries could be built that would last hundreds of years. People have no cognitive intuition to what these metals and energy can do in the forms they can take. Instead? ...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The paragraph from the book in full reads: “The concept of net energy must also be applied to renewable sources of energy, such as windmills and photovoltaics. A two-megawatt windmill contains 260 tonnes of steel requiring 170 tonnes of coking coal and 300 tonnes of iron ore, all mined, transported and produced by hydrocarbons. The question is: how long must a windmill generate energy before it creates more energy than it took to build it? At a good wind site, the energy payback day could be in three years or less; in a poor location, energy payback may be never. That is, a windmill could spin until it falls apart and never generate as much energy as was invested in building it.” Hughes told Reuters that his comments had been taken out of context and that the passage relates to capacity factory, which is the “amount of electricity a wind mill actually generates compared to the amount it would generate if it was running at 100% of its rated Generating Capacity”.
Where are ideal locations for energy to be harvested with these massive projects and how are they built? Are they always the most patient in doing things ethically, or do you think they seek a bottom-line of money?

as a huge lover of birds, 90% of the concern against wind turbines being used for energy is literally just pro fossil fuel propaganda. birds ARE at a risk however there is a lot of strategies even as simple as painting one of the blades that reduces a lot of accidental deaths. additionally renewable energy sources will do more in favor of the environment that would positively impact birds (and all of us). one study found over one million bird deaths from wind turbines. while that is a shockingly high number and we should work to drastically shrink it, at least 1.3 billion birds die to outdoor cats on a yearly basis. it was never about caring about birds

NeuronOil: A Kazakh Lawyer Aims to Revolutionize Geology and Energy
New Post has been published on https://er10.kz/100-startup-stories/neuronoil-a-kazakh-lawyer-aims-to-revolutionize-geology-and-energy/
NeuronOil: A Kazakh Lawyer Aims to Revolutionize Geology and Energy
A global revolution in geology and energy could begin in Kazakhstan. This is not a joke or an exaggeration. The analytics system developed by the NeuronOil startup team increases the success rate of drilling and selecting geological and technical measures in the oil and gas sector from 60% to 95%, potentially saving the industry tens of billions of dollars. But even this pales compared to the prospect of a true energy revolution. With enhanced algorithms and formulas, NeuronOil can enable the search for natural hydrogen, which could theoretically become the main energy resource for our civilization for centuries. The ordinary Kazakh lawyer and NeuronOil founder, Asylan Zhumagaliev, shared his business journey, insights into the conservative oil and gas sector, and early international projects with ER10 Media.
Follow Kazakhstan’s Startup Movement in the «100 Startup Stories of Kazakhstan», a collaborative project by ER10 Media and Astana Hub. This initiative highlights the most innovative Kazakh startups, showcasing projects that stand out for their creativity and impact. Among the heroes are Astana Hub residents, as well as creators of other innovative technological products and services. The content is available in Kazakh, Russian, and English.
A Business in Scrap Metal
— Asylan, could you tell us how you got into business? Was it accidental, or had you dreamed of becoming an entrepreneur and worked towards that goal?
— It was probably a coincidence. For a long time, I worked as an employee in both public and private sectors, holding various positions, including company manager. But one day, while living in Zhanaozen, I visited some fields with colleagues and saw huge piles of scrap metal — hundreds of thousands of tons. I wondered why no one was collecting and selling it. It turned out that all this scrap metal was contaminated with radioactive scale. When I asked why it couldn’t be cleaned, I was told it was impossible. Leading institutes had tried for 40 years to develop cleaning methods, but no one succeeded. Legally, you cannot bury radioactive scrap metal; it must be decontaminated first. Only after that can the radioactive material be buried, and the scrap returned to the economic cycle. But there was no cleaning technology, so companies paid hefty environmental fines every year and had come to accept this.
—And you decided you could solve this problem?
— I decided to try. I read literature, studied the problem closely, and even brought the former head of the Chernobyl administration from Ukraine to Kazakhstan, who once managed decontamination efforts. He spent a week studying the issue, examining the dumps, and concluded he couldn’t help — the contamination was too severe. The scrap metal was covered in 3–4 centimeters of radioactive scale that no known cleaning methods could remove.
Then I remembered how my grandmother used to clean pots with scale buildup — she would heat the kettles on a fire, tap them with a spoon, and the scale would fall off. I thought, why not try heating the scrap metal? But how? Building an industrial furnace in the steppe was too expensive. But then I found a solution. During a trip to Surgut, I learned that local oilmen heated pipes with frozen oil using aircraft turbines. I proposed this idea to companies, but for a year and a half, they laughed at me, saying, “For 40 years, the best minds couldn’t solve this, and now you think you can? It won’t work.” But I managed to convince them. They told me, “Here are 10 tons of metal. If you can’t clean it in one shift, don’t come back.” I gathered a turbine, equipment, and workers, set up the operation, and started experiments, heating the scrap. In the end, we managed to do it. This became my first business, launched with borrowed money. Orders poured in, the company grew quickly, with contracts expected to exceed one billion tenge, but some people didn’t like this, and I was eventually forced out of the market. However, I earned enough from this venture to start NeuronOil.
Chance Isn’t Coincidental
— How did the idea for NeuronOil come about? Another stroke of luck?
— Yes, the idea came by chance again. In Aktau, I was sitting at a table with a geologist. He received a work call and was visibly upset. I asked him what was wrong, and he replied that an exploratory well turned out dry. As we talked, I learned that with existing technology, exploration success in the oil and gas industry is only 50–60%. A company might drill 10 wells, and if 5–6 contain oil or gas, it’s considered a great result — enough to recoup exploration costs, while drilling “dry” wells is written off as a loss, costing millions of dollars. I argued with the geologist, as it seemed illogical to me. Oil companies have enough money, so why don’t they develop better technology to minimize losses? I learned that everyone had accepted this “gold standard” and no one was trying to change it.
— You thought you could solve this problem?
— Why not. I started researching and reading about the issue. I studied existing technologies and simulators, learning that geologists divide fields into large surface “cubes,” often drilling randomly in such areas. It seemed clear that this technology could be improved. Then I came across an article suggesting that, theoretically, clusters of wells could be used for calculations instead of cubes. Understanding that we could conduct calculations differently pushed me further toward solving the problem. If one technology has reached its peak, a new one is necessary.
— So you decided to look at the problem from a different angle? Even though you don’t have a background in this field?
— As a lawyer, I didn’t understand the formulas and calculations, but through connections, I found a professional geologist and showed him the article on well clusters. He was initially skeptical, but I convinced him to explore other technologies. Two months later, he surprisingly admitted that the new calculation method could work. That’s how NeuronOil started.
Enhancing Exploration Accuracy
— What is the idea behind your product? 
— We developed algorithms and formulas based on historical, geological, and other data that increase drilling and selection accuracy for geological and technical measures up to 95%. Considering that each well costs $1 to $15 million to drill, imagine the savings for companies.
Editor’s Note. The global hydrocarbon exploration market is estimated at $60 billion by the end of 2023.
— Why is your technology so precise? What’s the secret?
— The high accuracy comes from our unique calculation unit — instead of a “cube,” we use a well. We can “virtually place” a drill anywhere on the field and calculate the likelihood of hydrocarbons at that specific spot. We can also estimate the percentage of liquids, water, and oil.
— And where do you get the data for these calculations?
— Each subsurface user has such data — daily production reports, monthly operational reports, sample collection, and more. By uploading these into our algorithms, we can predict resource availability at specific locations.
— So, hypothetically, you could arrive in an open field somewhere in the Atyrau region and say, “There are hydrocarbons here?”
— Not quite. Our technology is most effective in already developed fields, known as brownfields. These fields have ample historical data, which significantly aids our analysis. However, we can also work on completely new fields, known as greenfields. We can make predictions, conduct exploratory drilling, and then refine our model as results come in to achieve maximum effectiveness.
Additionally, we optimize water injection systems. Our algorithms help adjust the pumps so they don’t interfere with each other and, in some cases, even work in harmony. As a result, we’ve managed to reduce water cut to 12%. In one well, for example, 98% of the extracted content was water and only 2% was oil. We brought this down to 86% water, meaning that where there was once 20 liters of oil per ton of liquid, there are now 140 liters. This was achieved by reconfiguring the pumps.
— So, your startup is essentially about creating the right algorithms?
— Yes, it’s machine learning. I assembled a team that developed and trained these specialized algorithms.
Growth Is the Only Way Forward
— At what stage is your startup currently?
— We’ve entered the market and are signing contracts. But let me be clear: selling the services of a tech startup is challenging, as our sales cycle is lengthy. Moreover, the oil and gas sector is inherently very conservative. When you approach a company and speak of 95% exploration accuracy, they don’t believe you. It takes a long time to prove it, secure pilot projects, and that all requires time. But we’ve reached our first contracts and self-sufficiency. From here, it’s all growth. 
— What projects are you currently working on?
— We’re launching a pilot project in Argentina. It’s a complex project, with a field containing 125 oil-bearing layers — something we’re encountering for the first time. We also have a project in Kazakhstan and are in discussions with two potential clients for pilot launches. We had contacts in Iran, but due to instability, those are currently on hold.
— Do you have competitors?
— Globally, we compete with large oilfield service companies like Schlumberger, Halliburton, and others. Most companies rely on their solutions, which offer about 50-60% success rates.
— So, technically, your product is more advanced?
— Technically, yes. 
— Haven’t major companies expressed interest in buying your technology?
— There was a point when I grew tired of the market’s skepticism and even considered selling the technology to Schlumberger, but they declined. They said my product was excellent, but they’re only interested in market share. One manager told me that if we capture 5% of the market in Kazakhstan, they’d come with an offer; if we capture 5% globally, they’d come with an offer we couldn’t refuse.
— Do you have plans to become an international unicorn?
— Absolutely. We’re planning to enter the Argentine market and make a name for ourselves. We’re confident in our technology, and our hydrocarbon exploration business is already operational and profitable. Now it’s time to focus on our new project.
The Hydrogen Future
— I understand that you’re working on an even more promising “green” energy product.
— At present, we’re developing a technology for natural hydrogen exploration. Again, chance played a role here. While working on a pilot project for one company, another team was demonstrating a helium exploration project for oil and gas fields. We became friends with their team and decided to collaborate.
— Why natural hydrogen?
— There’s a well-known case from Mali. In the 1980s, they were drilling for water when a worker approached the well with a cigarette, causing an explosion. The company was frightened and sealed the well. In 2011, a local businessman reopened it and took samples. They found hydrogen levels at 98%. It’s now understood that natural hydrogen deposits exist, although it was previously thought impossible. This is why no one was looking for it. Today, however, startups around the world are searching for natural hydrogen — in the USA, Australia, France, and elsewhere. Even Bill Gates invested $90 million in one project. But they’re all using old technologies like seismic surveys, electrical exploration, geochemistry, etc. I thought that our algorithms, formulas, and helium exploration capabilities could help us find natural hydrogen sources faster and more efficiently.
Editor’s Note. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the Earth’s subsurface may contain around 5 trillion metric tons of geological hydrogen. Just a few percent of this natural fuel could satisfy the projected global demand for 200 years. More than 40 major companies are now actively searching for geological hydrogen deposits, with their numbers quadrupling over the last three years. 
— So, for now, would you say the hydrogen direction is experimental?
— I wouldn’t call it experimental. We’re confident our technology works; we just haven’t tested it in practice yet. Right now, we’re reaching out to Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Science and Higher Education and major universities to jointly conduct field trials and attempt to locate natural hydrogen in Kazakhstan.
— Does your startup need investment?
— We could really use investment for fieldwork on the hydrogen project. Unfortunately, I don’t think there are people in Kazakhstan ready to invest. Conducting field trials on a single site costs around $5 million, just to test and refine the algorithms. So we’re currently trying to secure an agreement with government agencies. There’s understanding and interest, but it’s still unclear if funding will be available.
Will the Hydrogen Revolution in Energy Start in Kazakhstan?
— How would you articulate your startup’s mission?
— Every project I undertake is aimed at not just changing the market but becoming a tool for it. With hydrogen, I don’t just want to change the market; I want to turn it upside down. Natural hydrogen is the cheapest and cleanest energy source, producing only pure water when burned. Today, the production cost of a kilogram of manufactured hydrogen is $7. If obtained from natural sources, the cost would be $1–$1.2. I want the industrial production of hydrogen, which will revolutionize the world’s energy sector, to take place here in Kazakhstan.
— What inspires your business decisions? What books do you read, what films do you watch?
— When I’m interested in a topic, I read all kinds of literature on it, mainly scientific articles. I don’t read books on business or psychology.
— How do you develop your business skills?
— I went through the Google for Startups accelerator at Astana Hub. Before that, I was far from the world of startups. I didn’t even understand how to start a business without using personal funds, relying on investors instead. The accelerator helped me dive into the startup world and learn a lot.
— What sport would you associate with your character?
— That’s hard to say. Probably chess on horseback during kokpar. I dive deep into a subject, think it through, then act swiftly and never stop.
— Does determination help in business?
— Absolutely. When I spent a year and a half requesting radioactive scrap to test my hypothesis, everyone told me, “Stop, no one believes in you.” With NeuronOil, I’ve been forging a path for seven years, investing $1 million in team hiring, algorithm development, and only now reaching commercialization. I could have given up many times along the way. The main challenge in all my projects is the excessive conservatism of the oil and gas market, which is reluctant to embrace new ideas. I’d love to see more trust in the market.

What is rope access?
Rope access is a technique that is utilized to get access to regions that are difficult to reach. This is normally accomplished through the utilization of ropes and specialized equipment. It eliminates the need for traditional scaffolding, cranes, and other access platforms, which enables technicians to secure themselves while working at lofty altitudes. This is a significant benefit. A range of industrial, commercial, and maintenance operations have been adapted to make use of this method, which was initially derived from techniques that were utilized in rock climbing and caving. Since then, it has been adapted for usage in a variety of jobs.
Rope access is characterized by the following features:
Efficiency: Rope access systems are preferable in terms of efficiency when compared to more traditional ways. This is due to the fact that they can be constructed and disassembled in a relatively short amount of time. As a consequence of this, there is a reduction in both the amount of downtime and the project expenses.
Versatility: Technicians are able to easily maneuver in all directions, including vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. This is referred to as their versatility.

Every single piece of apparatus is put through a comprehensive inspection, and every single safety protocol is followed to the letter whenever possible.
Minimal Impact: Because it takes less materials and equipment than other ways of access, rope access has a limited impact on the environment and the regions that surround it. When compared to other methods of access, rope access has a minimal impact. Additionally, it interferes with activities that are already taking on at a location in a less disruptive manner.
Rope access is utilized by a wide variety of industries for a variety of operations, including the following:
Inspection: Buildings, bridges, wind turbines, and offshore oil rigs are all examples of structures that are subjected to routine inspections as part of the inspection process. Maintenance and Repair: Work such as welding, painting, and sealing are examples of the kinds of structural maintenance that fall under the category of maintenance and repair. Other sorts of structural maintenance are also covered in this category. Cleaning: The cleaning services include washing the windows of high-rise buildings, cleaning the facades of buildings, and cleaning both industrial and commercial spaces. Installation: During the process of installation, various pieces of equipment, including cameras, lights, signage, and other devices, are installed in areas that are difficult to access. Rescue Operations: Rescue operations are defined as the process of providing emergency rescue and evacuation services from elevated altitudes or confined regions.
