“You live and
learn. At any rate, you live.”
-- Douglas Adams (British comic Writer, 1952-2001)
As a member of LinkedIn, I have joined a number of groups, some of which are
quite useful. Other groups, not so
much. I have decided to unjoin the
groups that I do not find valuable.
The thing I most look for in technical groups is technical discussions. So I devised a simple personal rating
system …from 1 (the highest rating for my purposes) to 5 (the lowest rating
for my purposes) …
1 = a significant number of technical discussions
5 = no technical discussions found
These are my personal ratings … I don’t mean them to be a rating
of the quality of the groups for other people, who may value other types of
content … I am interested only in the technical
discussions, and rate the groups according to what I am looking
for.
So here, for what it’s worth, is how I rate the LinkedIn Groups to which I belong …

I am working on a project about alternative fossil fuel solutions. In this
context we are currently researching the knowledge of emulsion fuel technology
within boiler-using industries.
Since this group consists of users within this segment, it would be highly
usable for our data collection as you could represent concrete users.
Can anybody tell me what types of technologies have been using in Orinoco heavy

Heavy oil C3 coking in tubular steam heater.
Heavy oil C3 1,0, low sulfur content, is burnt in a boiler and is to be heated
from 30C to 135C before burning. A shell tube heater is used.
After some 3 month the heater has to be cleaned due to coking on the oil
side/shell. The coking is caused by asphaltenes.
They cut of the heater and evacuate the oil. Then fill it with acids, do
hydromechanical washing etc. It is time consuming, waste producing procedure.
What they could do with this problem?
Any additive preventing coking but not afecting burning process?
