Global Wind Turbine Operations and Maintenance Expenditure to Hit $17 Billion by 2020

Global expenditure for wind turbine Operations and Maintenance will rise from $9.25 billion in 2014 to an estimated $17 billion by 2020, driven by increasing numbers of installations and aging turbines. 

A wind farm’s O&M costs account for 10-15% of the total cost of power generation in an onshore wind farm and 25% in an offshore wind farm. Offshore wind maintenance is more expensive as it requires specialists to lift and install components during repairs and general maintenance, while accessibility for scheduled O&M work can be hampered by harsh weather conditions. While the onshore wind O&M market was valued at over nine times that of its offshore equivalent in 2014, the offshore arena is set to expand at a much faster rate over the forecast period. 

The global onshore wind O&M market is forecast to grow in value from $8.34 billion in 2014 to $13.43 billion by 2020, at a CAGR of 9.2%. However, the offshore wind O&M market value will increase at a rapid CAGR of 26%, from an estimated $0.91 billion in 2014 to $3.57 billion by 2020, boosting its share from 9.8% to 21%. 

The report Global Wind Turbine Operations & Maintenance Market, Update 2015 - Market Size, Major Contenders, Trends, and Analysis to 2020 provides insight into the global wind turbine operations and maintenance market, explaining the key drivers and challenges affecting this sector. It includes annualized market size data from 2014 and forecast to 2020, both globally and in the key wind power countries of the US, Germany, Spain, UK, China and India.

Nano Adsorbent Technology for Arsenic Removal from Underground Drinking Water

The world is facing the issue of availability of fresh water. It is turning into critical resource which if not addressed properly will have greater consequences for humanity. A large geographical area of the world is facing problems of water supplies and quality of water remains a challenge for all developed and developing nations.

In the last few decades, the consequences of population growth, industrialization and urbanization, and the associated consumerist culture have interfered with the natural hydrological cycle of rainfall, soil moisture, groundwater, surface water and storage of all sizes. This has led to overuse, abuse and pollution of our vital water resources and has disturbed the quality and the natural cleansing capacity of water.

The sources and causes of groundwater contamination are numerous. The wide range of contamination sources is one of many factors contributing to the complexity of a groundwater quality assessment. Natural contamination of water resources mainly results from normal geological phenomena such as ore formation 

Mining is one of the most important sources of heavy metals in the environment. Mining milling operations and disposal of tailings (the finely-ground remains of milled ores) in addition to smelting and metal refining provide significant sources of pollution. Unchecked mining can cause water and soil contamination and other environmental problems (e.g., forest degradation and air pollution). Groundwater contamination is one of the major environmental concerns at ores mining sites.

As the source of arsenic is the Himalayan mountain and the Tibet Plateau, the flood plains of all the rivers that originated from those sources are expected to be arsenic contaminated. Therefore, in the present study an attempt has been made to gain an understanding of the Arsenic (As) contamination status and the health risk of the people by investigating the water and sediment chemistry as well as the urine and hair of the people who are drinking arsenic contaminated water. Ground water sample was obtained from mining areas of Bihar-Jharkhand and the Brahmaputra alluvial basin of West Bengal and Assam Arsenicosis is not confined to Bihar, West Bengal and Bangladesh but several other countries like Taiwan, Thailand, Inner Mongolia (China), Pakistan, Japan, Sweden, UK, USA, Canada, Chekoslovakia, Chile and many other countries as well. 

In the present study, surveys have been conducted at various locations in the above areas to understand the magnitude of contamination. Drinking water sample was analyzed for the elevated arsenic content. The arsenic concentration ranged from 0.30 mg/Kg to 1.48 mg/Kg. 

To know the present arsenic body burden to population, biological samples were collected and analyzed from the arsenic affected villages. 

Water treatment and development of an effective arsenic removal technology were also main objectives of the study. The experiments carried out during this study successfully addressed the removal of both arsenate and arsenite using surface functionalized ultrafine iron oxide nano particles. It was found that surface functionalized ultrafine iron oxide nano particles (10 nm) can absolutely remove arsenic from arsenic contaminated water. The efficiency of arsenic removal has been drastically improved by considering nano particles of size. The mechanism for adsorption was identified through electron microscopic and spectroscopic studies

Men’s Health - Changing male attitudes to health to improve prognosis and outcomes

Men’s health refers to conditions that specifically affect males or those that are not gender-specific but have different outcomes in men. Although still dominated by cardiovascular disease, men’s health is increasingly focusing on other conditions and the wellness of the man overall.

There are many different factors that impact on men’s health, making it a unique therapy area; these include biological, social, psychological and economic factors. In addition, men are exposed to a number of risk factors that make specific diseases and conditions more prevalent in the male population, such a behavioral risk and work-related risk factors. Lifestyle factors are also known to be at the root cause of many diseases and conditions that affect men, and while some changes can help reduce the overall risk, many men find it difficult to persist with these changes. Male behavior has historically been recognized as a major contributor to health issues, with men more likely to participate in risky activities, suffer from work-related health issues and have unhealthy lifestyles, particularly in relation to alcohol, smoking and diet. Men are also more reluctant to actively seek health advice and undertake treatment, due to a number of factors including social taboos, a perception that it is not manly to see the doctor, and a feeling that HCPs tend to be focused on women rather than men.

The sensitive nature of male-specific cancers means many men tend to ignore symptoms, failing to self-examine and only presenting to physicians at a late stage. Prostate cancer is the most common male-specific cancer, with testicular and penile cancer being relatively uncommon. Prostate cancer has experienced advances in treatment in recent years, although unmet needs still exist with potential solutions being studied. Indeed, if diagnosed and treated in its early stages, prostate cancer has a very good prognosis, with 100% of patients living beyond five years. However, if the cancer has spread it becomes more difficult treat and there remains a need for effective therapies for metastatic prostate cancer and castrate-resistant prostate cancer. Other male cancers tend be relatively rare, which makes them less of a priority for research and development. Indeed, compared with many female cancers, male cancers receive less attention and lower levels of funding, being seen as the poor relation.

Changing attitudes and encouraging more health-aware behavior is critical to ensure traditional failures in addressing men’s health issues are overcome in the future. It is commonly recognized that men tend to hide anxiety and concern about their health and only visit the doctor when symptoms become unmanageable. As such, small changes in the way in which healthcare can be accessed in order to recognize the different pressures and priorities exerting an influence on men will help increase the number of men seeking HCP advice and the frequency with which this occurs. To this end, the concept of treating the whole man is gaining traction and becoming the standard of care for many. Going forward, it is expected that this will change the management of men’s health, with primary care taking greater control of the overall care, and specialists having a role where needed for specific conditions and diseases. Furthermore, physicians and healthcare providers are recognizing that specific measures need to be put in place to ensure that men feel comfortable seeking medical advice and are adapting their approach accordingly to ensure more beneficial management of men’s health issues.
