For example, a lowwater alarm automatically signals when the water level in a vessel falls below its preset minimum. Offshore, alarms are used to warn personnel of dangerous or unusual conditions, such as fires and escaping gases.

preset value of a monitored parameter at which an alarm is actuated to warn of a condition that requires corrective action.

large scale injection of pH>7 fluids. The basic materials may react with oils to form reactants that can reduce viscosity or affect wetting.

a method of allocating volumes to affected parties when an imbalance occurs.

n: a large, sloping sedimentary deposit at the mouth of a canyon, laid down by intermittently flowing water, especially in arid climates, and composed of gravel and sand. The deposit tends to be coarse and unworked, with angular, poorly sorted grains in thin, overlapping sheets. A line of fans may eventually coalesce into an apron that grows broader and higher as the slopes above are eroded away.
