A novel technique is described that uses either time-resolved or steady state prompt photosensitizer fluorescence to measure local oxygen concentration. Solution experiments conducted with Al(III) phthalocyanine chloride tetrasulfonic acid confirmed that the steady state fluorescence signal is dependent on the oxygen concentration and fluence rate. A relationship between prompt sensitizer fluor...

A recent audit of oil and gas (O&G) production and process facilities (P&PFs) functioning on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) revealed that inadequate classification of equipment tends to increase the probability of maintenance induced failures. Hence, to mitigate the problem, this manuscript suggests a fuzzy inference system (FIS) to further revise and fine-tune an existing static mechani...
