AbstractWe applied a new type of flow-through test method using micro-reactor consisting of a simple test apparatus with compact size to measurement of the dissolution rate of a Japanese type of simulated waste glass (P0798 glass). In this test method, a solution flows through a micro-channel (20 mm length, 2 mm width, 0.16 mm depth) in contact with a face of coupon shaped glass specimen, and the output solution is retrieved at certain intervals to be analyzed for determination of the glass dissolution rate. By using this test method the initial dissolution rate of glass matrix or forward dissolution rate was measured as a function of pH (3 to 11) and temperature (25°C to 90°C). The present test results indicated that the initial dissolution rate has ‘V-shaped’ pH dependence, and the effect of pH on the dissolution rate decreases with increase in temperature similar to the results measured by using the Single-pass flow-through (SPFT) method. The present test results also indicated that the dissolution of B is controlled by diffusion process and that of Si is controlled by surface reaction process.

The Aasta Hansteen spar in the Norwegian Sea is designed to be moored with a taut polyester rope mooring system. The water depth at the field is 1300 meters, and due to the short installation season the most efficient hookup is with pre-installed mooring lines, which require the mooring lines to be laid down on the seabed. DNV certification does not allow seabed contact for polyester ropes unless proven that no soil ingress and damage takes place. To be able to certify the ropes Statoil developed a test method including contact with soil, rope movement and forced water flow through the filter construction. Full scale tests were performed with actual rope and Aasta Hansteen soil, both in laboratory and at site. This paper discusses the certification requirements and presents adequate qualification test together with results from testing.
