The chandelier pairs beautifully with long crystal and brass sconces with ivory silk shades. Accessories in the space are kept to a minimum. Few but important, they impart elegance to this now symmetrical and well-appointed dining room.

Repeating one carefully selected color creates a visual connection between the kitchen and dining area. Soft blue appears on the raised dining-room ceiling and again in the tailored Roman shade above the kitchen sink, guiding the eye naturally between the two spaces. Against the predominantly white kitchen, these concentrated accents add personality while allowing the adjoining rooms to remain bright, calm and cohesive.

Designed using the ancient Chinese organizational principles of feng shui, this free-standing kitchen combines Zen-like calm with the convenience and performance of a professional kitchen. The concrete walls are painted in a color that’s light and soothing, while floors are bare and clean, save for cushioned mats placed in front of busy workspaces. The windows were acquired from a vacated building and adapted for residential use. In this large kitchen, designers concentrated a rangetop and two wall ovens into one cooking center. A warming shelf for plates is situated below the restaurant-style ventilation hood and above the rangetop for an added touch of convenience that enhances the cook’s serenity. The Asian minimalist aesthetic and commercial cooking equipment are given a warm feeling with the use of natural materials such as African zebrawood and live plants. This is a kitchen that truly reflects the spirit of yin and yang, in which harmony is achieved through opposing yet complementary forces.

An extraordinary antique Art Deco skyscraper pendant light, dating from the 1930’s, with its original amber glass ziggurat shade. Found in a home in Chicago, IL, the fixture begins with a foliate enveloped canopy and descends in a chain to a simple fitter. The gorgeous amber skyscraper shade features a fabulous crackled texture and a stepped design of concentric rectangles, finishing in a ziggurat bottom. This light fixture is in excellent condition, and the glass is also in excellent condition with no cracks or breaks, just the expected fleabites around the rim. The chandelier has been professionally rewired and comes with all the necessary attachments for modern installation. The pendant measures 7-1/4” wide and 14-1/2” tall (body only), and 30-1/4” long overall. NC1971

Water Treatment and Wastewater Recycling Plant in Oil and Gas Production WATERMAN ENGINEERS AUSTRALIA Introduction Water is a critical component in oil and gas processing, playing a crucial role in various stages of exploration, production, and refining. However, water handling in such processes poses serious challenges, mainly in connection with treating high TDS and salinity water. The situation is even more serious in oilfield sites, gas field sites, and exploratory sites where the need for water recycling and treatment is always necessary to minimize the impact on the environment and to keep operational costs at a minimum. The oil and gas industry has seen a growing concern toward water treatment and recycling. These processes underline the sustainability of operations, license to operate, and low environmental footprint. This paper discusses the roles water treatment plants can play in mitigating the problems of high TDS and salinity during oil and gas production by recycling and reusing water to minimize waste and environmental harm. The Water Challenges in Oil and Gas Production Water finds its application on a large scale in the oil and gas industry for several purposes, such as in drilling, hydraulic fracturing, cooling, and hydrocarbon processing. The water used in these aforementioned processes frequently comes into contact with a wide array of contaminants, among which are hydrocarbons, heavy metals, several various chemicals, and high concentrations of dissolved salts. This contaminated water, often referred to as produced water, produces a great environmental risk if not properly treated. Produced water typically contains high TDS concentrations, including salts, minerals, and other dissolved solids. Reservoir location and depth can make the salinity of this water vary widely. For many produced waters, these TDS values are very high and not suitable for direct discharge or reuse without treatment. The presence of salts and other dissolved solids can result in scaling, corrosion, and other operational problems of equipment, pipelines, and storage vessels.
