The price of petrol in Israel is updated every month by the Fuel Authority in the Ministry of National Infrastructure. The update is carried out based on a fixed formula which weighs out the fuel deals undertaken in Med Basin during the last business week of each month. This average is then multiplied by the dollar rate on the particular day, so that the dollar has a bearing also on the price of petrol in Israel
Pertaining to processes that add, transfer, transform, or remove soil constituents
Used for underground and submerged piping and storage tanks. Protection is achieved through the use of sacrificial anodes
Gasoline prices are affected by a number of factors from supply and demand, taxes, politics, to the weather. Refineries buy crude oil based on the best available current price (which in turn is affected by a large number of factors on both the demand and supply side of the equation). Different types of gasoline such as those with higher octane number cost more to refine and therefore have a higher gas pump price. The final price displayed on the pumps usually includes taxes, which are set by the local or national government. In some countries taxes account for more than half the price. In the UK and much of Europe taxes make up about 70% of the total price charged at the pumps. By comparison, in the USA and Mexico this is closer to 20%. Exchange rates can also affect the price. Crude oil and its products are traded in US dollars. So if the British pound or Australian dollar rises or falls against the US dollar on the world currency exchanges, motorists in the UK and Australia will pay a little less or more for their fuel as a result.
An accumulation of unconsolidated plant debris that if buried and preserved could become coal. Special conditions are required to accumulate and preserve plant materials. These conditions are most often found in a marsh or swamp where water cover prevents oxidation and attack by most organisms
Very small particles, such as dust, produced by combustion engines
Microscopic air-borne material which could be natural or could be man-made such as from the combustion of fossil fuels which may be harmful or even toxic
These are a class of chemicals that are derived from crude oil and natural gas
Those hours when the demand for the service (e.g. electricity, gas) is at the highest and full rates are charged. Such as the sale of electricity during the peak hours. Opposite of off-peak hours
Particulate matter is the term for solid or liquid particles found in the air. Electrostatic precipitators can remove more than 99% of particulates from the flue gas. The system works by creating an electrical field to create a charge on particles which are then attracted by collection plates. Other removal methods include fabric filters and wet particulate scrubbers.
