Abstract:
The role of primary prevention of sexual offences is an understudied area. The current study examined a sample ( N = 100) of men charged or convicted of a sexual offence to determine their interest in interventions that could be offered prior to offending, reasons for not seeking out interventions in the past, and demographic information including onset of deviant sexual fantasy and interests. The majority indicated that preventative interventions, including individual and group treatment, would have been beneficial, but inaccessibility of interventions and fear of arrest prevented them from seeking services. The findings suggest that men who progress to committing a sexual offence are interested in preventative interventions but require information regarding availability of accessible support and the development of primary prevention structures to fulfill society’s desire to prevent sexual offending.

Abstract:
Background and purpose: In addition to their duties in addressing the curative and rehabilitative needs of the community, private primary care physicians (PCP) play an important role in providing promotive and preventative healthcare services. This study aims to determine the behaviours, enabling and inhibiting factors involved with the provision of promotive and preventative services by PCP in the era of national health insurance (JKN) implementation.Methods: This research is a mix method study using a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches. Quantitative surveys were conducted with all PCPs already in working collaboration with the Social Security Administering Agency (BPJS) in the Denpasar City area (61 people). Data analysis techniques used descriptive techniques in order to explore the kinds of promotion and preventative services provided by PCPs. Qualitative research was conducted through in-depth interviews of 8 informants selected by purposive sampling and analyzed thematically to discover the enabling and inhibiting factors of the provision of promotive and preventative services by PCPs.Results: The results showed that 91.8% of PCPs did perform promotive and preventative services in their practice site. PCPs who did not carry out promotive and preventative services demonstrate perceptions, beliefs and motivations categorized as low and weak as well as attitudes that do not support the implementation of such services. Enabling factors of promotion and preventative services by PCPs, include among others, quality of facilities and infrastructure, the receipt of awards from BPJS and capitation systems that benefit physicians financially. Inhibiting factors include a low willingness of the patient to carry out doctor's advice, limitations in the PCPs work time and limited funds to perform preventative/promotive services.Conclusions: Promotive and preventative services are not being optimally carried out by PCPs in Denpasar. This is due to the low willingness of the patients, the limited time of the doctor, and the limited allocated funds for promotive and preventative services and low capitation.

Abstract:
The idea of prevention in child welfare is not new. The prevention of substitute placement of children whether on a temporary or long-term basis has been a fundamental principle of child welfare we have held to for many years in Victoria.However, it is only in the last decade that this principle is actually being carried out in practice by a number of voluntary agencies. For many children placement is still commonly used as a solution it is easier to place a child than to promote change within many multi-deficit families.

Abstract:
The use of healthcare services in Winnipeg is examined to determine whether groups who appear to have a higher need for medical care actually get more care. Despite universal coverage, considerable variation in service use rates exists. Most of the basic healthcare services are provided in accordance with need as measured by premature mortality rates. Nevertheless, visits to specialist physicians, a variety of high profile procedures, and screening and preventative services appear not to be provided in accordance with need.

Abstract:
BackgroundConsistent and timely delivery of comprehensive preventative care services is a challenge, particularly in underserved patient populations. Previous quality improvement (QI) research has focused on the development of bundled measures of preventative services delivery, but these bundles have not been studied on a population level. We aimed to improve preventative care service delivery on a clinic population level through the use of a bundled measure that includes immunisations, lead screening and use of screening tools among underserved patients under 2 years old.MethodsA QI study was conducted at a community-based academic primary care clinic. A population-level bundled measure was adapted from an existing tool. We used plan–do–study–act cycles to optimise results and tracked bundle outcome rates using a p-type statistical process control chart. Interventions included (1) staff education on measure components, (2) introduction of exam room-based phlebotomy to address lead screening completion rates and (3) population management strategies, including development of a patient registry and use of reminders and visit tracking to increase attendance at well-child visits.ResultsThe percent of bundle completion by 14 months of age increased from a baseline of 58%–77% following implementation of the QI initiatives. A mean shift was identified after the population manager began proactive targeted outreach for the 12-month visit.ConclusionTargeted systems for outreach aimed at bringing patients into the clinic and patient-centred strategies for visit completion are effective at ensuring timely delivery of comprehensive preventative care to an underserved paediatric population.

Abstract:
Preventative care services allow patients to be fully equipped with the knowledge, tools, and other resources to help them discover and treat many diseases and illnesses so that the burden of costs will not fall on patients and their families. Since the passage of the Affordable Care of Act (ACA) by President Barack Obama, the requirement for health insurance coverage has not translated to utilization of preventative care services. The purpose of this study is to determine the motivation for African Americans who have insurance coverage and access to care who are not taking advantage of opportunities for screenings and health education. The health belief model was used to determine how belief and modifying factors influence health decisions. The quantitative study required use of a secondary dataset to determine utilization of preventative care services, insurance affordability, future access to care and understanding of the health care law. The study included testing the statistical significance of these factors among African Americans, White Americans, and Hispanic Americans who participated in the Healthy Americas Survey. Using the program SPSS to process data analyzation and organize output, results reveal that African American participants are concerned about the future ability to access and afford care. With a history of distrust amongst African Americans and the health industry, social implications are for administrators and providers to bridge the gap by offering health education to those in their immediate communities and requesting and implementing feedback from those same individuals.

Men have low use of transformative health services but compared to women, are more likely to die younger and from something preventable. This research is the first to find, while usually assumed to be resilient, privileged groups such as men experience likely customer vulnerability. Three quantitative studies using secondary panel data and an online survey were conducted finding also the effect of masculine norms on men’s health service use is dependent on service context, social generation, and conformity. The research is the first to find masculine norms and value co-destruction behaviours are key indicators of men’s customer experience of vulnerability.

Abstract:
Globally the diabetes epidemic is a major health challenge. Associated with the diagnosis of diabetes is the morbidity and premature mortality stemming from the complications of the disease. It was identified that approximately 50% of clients who attended a diabetes centre in an outer western metropolitan region of Sydney were not completing diabetes education. A strategy employed to overcome this was the introduction of a 2 ½ hour group diabetes education program called the Ongoing Education System (OES), for persons with Type 2 diabetes, that enabled completion of education at this one session. However, debate occurred among health professionals at the Wentworth Diabetes Service (WDS) as to the effectiveness of the OES as compared to the traditional individual education sessions. (one-on-one education). The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of two modes of diabetes education for completing education for clients with Type 2 diabetes , namely individual education (Treatment A) and the OES group education (Treatment B). The findings overall revealed no difference in the outcomes of participants who received individual education and those who received the OES at completion of education as well as at 6 and 12 month post education. A secondary finding of this study was the significant influence gender and age exerted on the outcomes of the education programs. One significant implication from the findings for both the person diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and the health care organisation is that the OES provides a cost effective alternative to individual education that encourages clients to complete diabetes education thereby enabling the person to achieve an optimal quality of life. In addition this study provides research evidence for the benefit of current practice in diabetes education.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: South Africa’s health sector has not yet shown enough improvement to reach the Millennium Development Goals related to health. One of the problem areas is the low infant and child vaccination coverage in certain areas of South Africa. The use of mobile phones in health care (mHealth) has the potential to strengthen the primary health care system through improved information management. A mobile health solution for vaccination (MHSV) can be used to improve information management of vaccinations, which in turn can improve vaccination coverage. However, the feasibility of implementing such an MHSV in the South African context is unknown. This study therefore investigates the feasibility of using mobile phones to improve information management for child vaccinations in South Africa. Feasibility is determined by using a feasibility framework together with business model development. The feasibility framework, which is informed by a literature study, surveys and a case study, determines the feasibility of an MHSV in terms of human factors, technical feasibility, information management, policies and ethics, and economics. It is found that an MHSV is feasible in South Africa, although certain areas pose challenges that will have to be considered. Complementing the feasibility framework, business models are developed to suggest possible ways in which an MHSV can be deployed in South Africa. These models build on the results from the feasibility framework and are developed using Osterwalder’s business model canvas. The effect of the National Health Insurance (NHI) on these business models is also examined. In order to validate the feasibility framework and business models, interviews were held with experts in health care and mobile phone solutions. These interviews show that the research is valid and that the feasibility framework and business models can be generalised to the wider field of mHealth solutions.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Suid-Afrika se gesondheidsektor het nog nie genoeg verbetering getoon om die gesondheidsverwante Millenium Ontwikkelingsdoelwitte te bereik nie. Een van die probleemareas is die besondere lae inentingsdekking van babas en kinders in sekere gebiede van Suid-Afrika. Die gebruik van selfone vir gesondheidsorg hou die potensiaal in om die primêre gesondheidsorgstelsel te versterk deur inligtingsbestuur te verbeter. ’n Inentingsoplossing wat gebruik maak van selfone, bekend as ‘n “mobile health solution for vaccination” (MHSV), kan inligtingsbestuur van inentings verbeter, wat hoër inentingsdekking tot gevolg kan hê. Die haalbaarheid van die implementering van so ’n MHSV in die konteks van Suid-Afrika is egter onbekend. Hierdie studie ondersoek dus die haalbaarheid daarvan om selfone te gebruik vir beter inligtingsbestuur van kinder-inenting in Suid-Afrika. Haalbaarheid word vasgestel deur ’n haalbaarheidsraamwerk en die ontwikkeling van besigheidsmodelle te gebruik. Die haalbaarheidsraamwerk, wat toegelig word deur ’n literatuurstudie, vraelyste en ’n gevallestudie, bepaal die haalbaarheid van ’n MHSV in terme van menslike faktore, tegniese haalbaarheid, inligtingbestuur, beleid en etiek, en ekonomie. Daar word gevind dat ’n MHSV haalbaar is in Suid-Afrika, alhoewel sekere areas uitdagings inhou. Die haalbaarheidsraamwerk word aangevul deur die ontwikkeling van besigheidsmodelle wat moontlike maniere voorstel waarop ’n MHSV in Suid-Afrika ontplooi kan word. Hierdie modelle word geskoei op die resultate van die haalbaarheidsraamwerk en word ontwikkel met behulp van Osterwalder se besigheidsmodelskema (“business model canvas”). Die effek van die nasionale gesondheidversekering op hierdie modelle word ook ondersoek. Onderhoude met kundiges in die veld van selfoonoplossings vir gesondheidsorg word gebruik om die haalbaarheidsraamwerk en die besigheidsmodelle te valideer. Die onderhoude toon dat die navorsing geldig is en dat die haalbaarheidsraamwerk en besigheidsmodelle veralgemeen kan word na die wyer veld van selfoonoplossings vir gesondheidsorg.

Abstract:
Although evidence is currently available for population-based genetic screening and testing of individuals and their family members for certain hereditary chronic disease conditions (Tier 1), few states have integrated these genomic applications into chronic disease prevention programs. State and territorial chronic disease directors (CDDs) could provide the leadership needed to deliver these applications in more states. The purpose of this study was to determine whether an association exists between current chronic disease genomics funding or specific state genomic activities and the level of knowledge and interests in genomics by these directors. Rogers's diffusion of innovations (DIT) theory was used to explain the current climate of state chronic disease genomics and the need for an innovation champion to promote these evidence-based applications both in and out of the state health departments. A nonexperimental, cross-sectional, correlational survey of CDDs (N = 58) was performed using the Chronic Disease Director's Survey and results were analyzed using chi-square, independent t test, ANOVA, logistic regression, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. Results showed CDDs knowledge of genomics is unrelated to current state funding; however, CDD knowledge and interest in genomics was associated with inclusion of genetics in cancer control and cardiovascular health action plans, Tier 1 condition education, privacy and nondiscrimination laws, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) genomics questions, and frequent collaborations with outside entities. These results provide clear ideas to increase CDDs knowledge and interest in chronic disease genomics and potentially impact Tier 1 genomics implementation in more states.

Abstract:
Submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for the Master's Degree in Technology: Chiropractic at the Durban University of Technology, 2013.
Background: Considering the quadruple burden of disease and chronic shortages of health care professionals in South Africa, the stance of the chiropractic profession on public health (PH) matters has not been established. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the attitudes and perceptions of chiropractors practicing in South Africa on PH, health promotion (HP) and disease prevention (DP). The objectives were to determine demographic profile, lifestyle practices and attitudes and perceptions of practicing chiropractors in South Africa regarding PH agencies, HP and DP. Methods: An IRB approved quantitative survey (electronic and postal) was used to collect data from a total sample of practicing chiropractors in South Africa (meeting inclusion criteria). Follow up email and telephone calls were made to encourage response from participants. After a 17 - week period, returned questionnaires were collected and data analysed. Results: A response rate of 45% was obtained. Of the participants, 51.7% were female, 60.3% practiced in upper – middle income communities and 66.4% perceived themselves as neuro - musculoskeletal specialists. Over 90% of practitioners regularly counselled patients on postural habits, injury prevention and ergonomic risk reduction. Where as 35.1% agreed to counselling patients on STI / HIV prevention, tobacco cessation and related risks (41.4%), alcohol abuse (53.4%) and cancer prevention (56.9%). Regarding evidence – based practice (EBP) and PH agencies, 39.1% could not identify the statistical significance of the p value and 46% were unable to provide examples to journals they used to inform best practice. Similarly, 59% of the participants could not identify PH agencies to refer to for information on smoking cessation / risks or PH agencies to refer patients on HIV (57%), notifiable diseases (59%) and terminal illnesses (45%). Conclusion: The results suggest that chiropractors from this study were proficient on topics of DP, but were reletively less proficient in regards to PH, HP and EBP. It was recommended that further research be done regarding EBP within the profession and that greater emphasis be placed on topics of HP and PH in chiropractic training programmes.

Abstract:
Australia’s ageing population has escalated the demand for current health services and the trend could compound to unsustainable levels under the current health system. This chapter proposes a preventative healthcare model based on assistive technology to strengthen wellbeing at the individual and community level. The proposed model could minimise premature and inappropriate admission of Australians to care facilities while enhancing their independence and self care. It could also present a cost effective approach for policy makers by helping to alleviate the escalating costs of the health system. Importantly, this program offers an effective and sustainable alternative for delivering future health services.

Abstract:
The incidence of communicable and non-communicable diseases is rising globally in both developed and developing nations. New methodologies are required for reaching the general population and promoting preventative behavior. The objective of this chapter is to discuss the Focus, Organization, Management, Environment, Network, and Technology (FOMENT) process as a strategy and a tool to enhance the impact and efficiency of the diffusion process within public health systems and change agencies, especially in developing countries. FOMENT can be seen as an extension of Everett Rogers' Diffusion of Innovations Theory (DOI) and can be used by organizations to maximize the diffusion rate of health initiatives into a community. The understanding of individual variables from DOI and organizational variables from FOMENT, as well as their corresponding indicators will support the convergence approach to enhance diffusion capacity building (DCB) needed for the adoption of innovations and related behavior change.

Abstract:
Healthcare costs are escalating due to public demand for, and the increasing availability of, treatment. National frameworks that use economic evaluation as a basis for health technology assessment have been successful at constraining expenditure on low-value treatments primarily by explicitly considering the opportunity cost of new technology adoption or service redesign. At the end of life and in palliative contexts, such methods have not been widely applied and are underdeveloped despite evidence that healthcare costs typically increase with proximity to death. There may be a requirement for the adaptation of standard methods for healthcare resource allocation in this setting, where the goals of care may differ from a curative or preventative context. Health service and financing models may be complex and specific to this setting, with a greater consideration for third-sector provision and informal care. This chapter outlines the core concepts in health economics that are relevant in the planning of palliative services, with specific considerations in the developed and developing world contexts.

Abstract:
Congenital disorders encompass a wide range of conditions (e.g. genetic disorders, foetal disease, and developmental disorders) that occur before birth and are an important contributor to mortality and morbidity worldwide. Congenital disorders can be identified at different life stages and effective health services take a holistic approach to their care and prevention. This involves both population health and specialist services across the life course. Systematic collection of data on the types, prevalence, severity, and outcomes of congenital disorders, along with analysis and interpretation of data helps to inform appropriate planning of care and preventative services and activities. Important concepts in relation to congenital disorders, prevention activities, and key challenges to their effective delivery are described in this chapter.

Abstract:
This chapter highlights the political drivers of Labour’s structural reforms to English local government through an examination of the Every Child Matters Green Paper and the subsequent passage of the Children Act 2004. It is argued that the initiation of the Green Paper chaired by Paul Boateng, then Chief Secretary to the Treasury, was not a response to the Victoria Climbié Inquiry. Safeguarding and child protection policies did not receive the explicit prioritisation that Lord Laming had called for. Labour’s structural reforms were designed to address concerns relating to the delivery of a broader range of policy priorities incorporating health, education and crime and anti-social behaviour. Moreover, social services and social work were largely overlooked under the new structural arrangements with the focus being primarily on the early intervention and preventative responsibilities of universal services including schools and health service providers. The chapter also discusses the involvement of children’s sector NGOs in the development of Labour’s reforms and how opposition to structural reform was ultimately ignored.

Abstract:
The shortcomings of the Finnish child protection system have been vividly highlighted by the reports of historic abuse in residential and foster care and by some fatal tragedies. Nevertheless, very little academic research on errors and mistakes in child protection exists. The chapter thus aims to capture this fragmented and unexpressed field in the Finnish system. In doing so, the chapter presents and analyses the preventative and reactive approaches to errors as defined by child welfare legislation. Examples of preventative approaches are regulations requiring some services and practitioners to be licenced and registered, a rather recent way to regulate practice and its quality. Examples of reactive approaches are the rights given to service-users (parents as well as children) to make complaints about and appeal decisions and the treatment they receive. A new practice is the regulation introduced in 2014 giving social workers the right and duty to report problems they encounter in their practice, a form of request for ‘institutional whistle-blowing’. In addition to the legal guidelines, the chapter will examine the national policy programmes which indirectly address errors. These programmes aim to guarantee that services are ‘rightly timed and tailored’ and that the assessments of children’s needs and risks are ‘correctly’ made. These reactive and preventative approaches may, however, have some unintended consequences which will be empirically highlighted. Consequently, it becomes clear that the Finnish approach is coloured by trust in practitioners and service-users and their skills, competences and good intentions to tackle errors, mistakes and wrongdoings. This reflects the overall rationale of child protection as a form of service provided by public administration. Trust may overrule a critical examination of – and learning from – errors and mistakes. As the very organisation of social and health care services is rapidly changing, the trust-based approach might soon be challenged.

Abstract:
This chapter describes how cancer is the disorder of immune system and is epigenetically controlled. As a person grows older the cells in their body become weaker. The defense system of the body and genetic repair mechanisms becomes more delicate. Loss of control in these protective mechanism leads to cancer. Thus, cancer and ageing are entwined in an intricate and abstruse relationship. This chapter explores the demographic changes, biological theories and clinical considerations that link cancer and ageing. It highlights the implications of these associations in the context of population and health system, with a focus on preventative strategies, research imperatives and delivery of cancer services. Furthermore, the chapter discusses how to best prepare the most junior of the medical profession to manage a growing number of senior cancer patients. Overall, it underscores how all elements in the relationship of cancer and ageing need to be considered and incorporated into a framework that facilitates a holistic approach to cancer control.

Abstract:
Occupational activities can result in certain musculoskeletal disorders due to prolonged repetitiveness, inappropriate ergonomic settings, physical hardship, and acute injuries. These disorders comprise a major portion of sickness absence, presenteeism, and referrals to occupational health services with a significant burden on the economy. Some of these disorders are more common in the ageing workforce, and some can become complicated by the expanding epidemy of obesity. An occupational health practitioner is required to have evidence-based knowledge about these disorders in terms of occupational aetiology, preventative or attenuating measures at workplaces, medical and surgical therapeutic interventions, and relevant rehabilitation processes. This chapter covers most of the common work-related musculoskeletal disorders affecting upper and lower limbs with emphasis on their work implications that can assist occupational health practitioners with providing appropriate recommendations for employers and employees.

Abstract:
In the urban context, nature is not entirely devoid of human influence or inaccessible to man, rather, nature exists in urban areas and does not only survive the influence of man but also depends on it. An individual’s subjective sense of their relationship with the places of nature within a city explains the concept of nature- connectedness. In the wake of rapid urbanization around the world, spaces of natural features in urban areas have been constantly overtaken by the developments and activities of man. There is a link between the number of ecosystem services provided by the mapped natural features and residents’ nature connectedness in the Lagos Metropolis. To understand this, spaces of natural features in the Lagos metropolis have to be examined with focus on how it is environmentally safe, how it improves human health and also the level of its accessibility to the residents. To improve health and well-being, there is need to strengthen the evidence of how nature affects health and promote preventative health contribution made by protected areas and elements of urban nature.

Abstract:
Inservice inspection requirements for pressure retaining welds in the regenerative, letdown, and residual heat removal heat exchangers are prescribed in Section XI Articles IWB and IWC of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. Accordingly, volumetric and/or surface examinations are performed on heat exchanger shell, head, nozzle-to-head, and nozzle-to-shell welds. Inspection difficulties associated with the implementation of these Code-required examinations have forced operating nuclear power plants to seek relief from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The nature of these relief requests are generally concerned with metallurgical factors, geometry, accessibility, and radiation burden. Over 60% of licensee requests to the NRC identify significant radiation exposure burden as the principal reason for relief from the ASME Code examinations on regenerative heat exchangers. For the residual heat removal heat exchangers, 90% of the relief requests are associated with geometry and accessibility concerns. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory was funded by the NRC Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research to review current practice with regard to volumetric and/or surface examinations of shell welds of letdown heat exchangers, regenerative heat exchangers, and residual (decay) heat removal heat exchangers. Design, operating, common preventative maintenance practices, and potential degradation mechanisms were reviewed. A detailed survey of domestic and international PWR-specific operating experience was performed to identify pressure boundary failures (or lack of failures) in each heat exchanger type and NSSS design. The service data survey was based on the PIPExp® database and covers PWR plants worldwide for the period 1970–2004. Finally a risk assessment of the current ASME Code inspection requirements for residual heat removal, letdown, and regenerative heat exchangers was performed. The results were then reviewed to discuss the examinations relative to plant safety and occupational radiation exposures.

Abstract:
Welds that are made onto an operating pipeline cool at an accelerated rate as a result of the flowing pipeline contents cooling the weld region. The accelerated cooling rates increase the probability of forming a crack-susceptible microstructure in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of in-service welds. The increased risk of forming such microstructures makes in-service welds more susceptible to hydrogen cracking compared to welds that do not experience accelerated cooling. It is understood within the pipeline industry that hydrogen cracking is a time-dependent failure mechanism. Due to the time-dependent nature and susceptibility of in-service welds to hydrogen cracking, it is common to delay the final inspection of in-service welds. The intent of the delayed inspection is to allow hydrogen cracks, if they were going to occur, to form so that the inspection method could detect them and the cracks could repaired. Many industry codes provide a single inspection delay time. By providing a single inspection delay time it is implied that the inspection delay time should be applied for all situations independent of the welding conditions or any other preventative measures the company may employee. There are many aspects that should be addressed when determining what should be considered an appropriate inspection delay time and these aspects can vary the inspection delay time considerably. Such factors include the cooling characteristics of the operating pipeline, the welding procedure that is being followed, the chemical composition of the material being welded and if any preventative measures such as post-weld heating are applied. The objective of this work was to provide an engineering justification for realistic minimum inspection delay times for different in-service welding scenarios. The minimum inspection delay time that was determined was based on modelling results from a previously developed two-dimensional hydrogen diffusion model that predicts the time to peak hydrogen concentration at any location within a weld HAZ. The time to peak hydrogen concentration was considered equal to the minimum inspection delay time since the model uses the assumption that if a weld was to crack the cracking would occur prior to or at the time of peak hydrogen concentration. Several factors were varied during the computer model runs to determine the effect they had on the time to peak hydrogen concentration. These factors included different welding procedures, different material thicknesses and different post-weld heating temperatures. The post-weld heating temperatures were varied between 40 F (4 C) and 300 F (149 C). The results of the analysis did provide justification for reducing the inspection delay time to 30 minutes or less depending on the post-weld heating temperature and pipeline wall thickness. This reduction in inspection delay time has the potential to significantly increase productivity and reduce associated costs without increasing the associated risk to pipeline integrity or public safety.

Abstract:
A managed programme to review engine failures and take necessary preventative measures has been in place successfully in the Royal Navy since the introduction of gas turbines into service in the 1970’s. One of the more prominent failure mechanisms with the Tyne RM1C and Spey SM1A engines has been the degradation of main line bearings accounting for 25 percent of all engines rejected. Historically, since the first recorded incident in March 1987, the failures pointed to poor performance of the bearings themselves. However, maintenance studies and recent analysis indicates that a vast proportion have occurred through previously unidentified chloride corrosion as a result of contamination of the lubricating oil system with salt water from the seawater lubricating oil cooler (SWLO cooler). Despite joint ownership of both engine variants with the Royal Netherlands Navy, there was no clear evidence until about five years ago to suggest why tube perforation was occurring. Indeed, the fact that failures have only occurred in Royal Navy service is an interesting twist to the problem. This paper summarises the phenomenon of SWLO cooler corrosion caused by Microbial Induced Corrosion (principally Sulphate Reducing Bacteria – SRB). It highlights the conditions in which SRB occurs along with demonstrated prevention in Royal Navy gas turbine service through the combined efforts of maintenance and development of a new titanium tubestack. The fault finding and remedial recovery experience may well be of interest to operators of marine gas turbines, both naval and commercial, who use tube type heat exchangers, especially when operating or undertaking work in estuarial waters and non tidal basins or when undertaking littoral duties. This is a practical view of the issue from an operators perspective and whilst utilising a wealth of research and technical data available on the subject, it relates the issues at hand to the particular corrosion problem and is not intended as an introduction into organic chemistry.
