The Cognitive Work Analysis and Ecological Interface Design frameworks have garnered a great deal of attention in recent years. The former is used to analyze a complex work domain to identify the behaviorshaping constraints imposed by the work domain, control tasks, strategies, operator competencies, and socio-organizational factors. The latter informs the design of operator interfaces for comp...

Optimal inspection and maintenance of complex systems in modern industry is important for safety and economic reasons. With appropriate statistical modelling, the utilisation of inspection resources and quality of inferences can be greatly improved. Modelling and inspection of a full-scale industrial furnace subject to corrosion is considered. A suitable Bayesian spatio-temporal dynamic linear ...

The Skikda bay is located in the northern part of Algeria. The area is in contact with a petrochemical industrial complex, which raw materials and final products contaminate the surrounding areas via atmospheric pollution as well as effluents, which are dumped into seawaters. To establish the effects of these pollutants and waste disposal on the vicinity of the bay, several samples were taken a...

OBJECTIVES The level of benzene exposure in the petrochemical industry during regular operation has been well established, but not in turnaround (TA), where high exposure may occur. In this study, the characteristics of occupational exposure to benzene during TA in the petrochemical companies were investigated in order to determine the best management strategies and improve the working environm...

The prospection of bacteria that are resistant to polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) activated sludge from a Petrochemical Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) allows investigating potential biodegraders PAH. For this purpose, samples were cultured with benzo(a)pyrene and/or naphthalene as carbon sources. recovered isolates characterized by biochemical methods and identified based on the analysis seq...
