Shuttle tankers are becoming more widely used in deep water installations as a means of transporting crude oil to storage plants and refineries. The emissions of hydrocarbon vapours arise mainly during loading and offloading operations. Experiments have been carried out on the use of polyurethane/zeolite membrane on an alumina support for the separation of methane from carbon dioxide and oxygen. The physical properties of the membrane were investigated by FTIR. Single gas permeation tests with methane, propane, oxygen and carbon dioxide at a temperature of 293 K and pressure ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 x 10-5 Pa were carried out. The molar flux of the gases through the membrane was in the range of 3 x 10-2 to 1 x 10-1 molm-2s-1. The highest separation factor of CH4/CO2 and CH4/O2 and CH4/C3H8 was determined to be 1.7, 1.7 and 1.6 respectively.

A stratigraphic framework for eastern Labrador Sea cores has been developed for the interval 0–90 000 years BP through analysis of oxygen isotopes, volcanic ash, benthonic foraminifera, and the radiolarian Diplocyclas davisiana. Benthonic and planktonic foraminiferal isotope stratigraphy and the time scale of Shackleton and Opdyke provide a basis for the approximate dating of a series of marker events which include ash zones at ca. 59 000 and ≤ 21 000 years BP; benthonic foraminiferal abundance maxima at ca. 83 000, 75 000, 60 000, 19 000, and 3000 years BP; and D. davisiana percentage maxima at ca. 90 000, 73 000, 64 000, 54 000, 45 000 – 32 000, and 10 000 years BP. Incursions of subpolar planktonic foraminifera into the area during parts of isotopic stage 2 (between about 13 000 and 25 000 years BP but probably excluding the 15 000–18 000 years BP glacial maximum interval) and during the isotopic stage 4/5a transition (around 75 000 years BP) suggest that the eastern Labrador Sea was free of sea ice, at least in summer during periods of rapid continental ice sheet growth which lead to the isotopic stage 4 and stage 2 glacial maxima. A larger than normal stage 1/stage 2 difference in the isotopic composition of benthonic foraminifera (1.8‰) implies that this open water and attendant surface cooling was a potential source for colder than modern deep water. In contrast the Norwegian Sea was a reservoir of warmer than modern deep water during the last glacial.
