Assessment and Processing System

Dynasafe is the tradename for a static kiln manufactured by Dynasafe AB, a Swedish company that designs and manufactures products for the containment of explosions, including mobile explosion containment vessels used by police departments and the Burster Detonation Vessel, used by the NSCMP at its Munitions Assessment and Processing System facility in Edgewood, Maryland.17...

Evaluate mobile destruction systems and semi-permanenC facilities being used or considered by the Army s Non-stockpile product manager for the treatment of non-stockpile CWM and make recommendations on the systems and facilities that could be employed by the Army and their interrelationships. This analysis will specifically include consideration of issues and opportunities associated with the Explosive Destruction System (EDS), the Rapid Response System (RRS), the Munitions Assessment and Processing System (MAPS), the Pine Bluff Non-stockpile Facility (PBNSE), alternative treatments for neat chemicals, and selected aspects of the stockpile facilities.

Unlike stockpile facilities, discussed next, no dedicated non-stockpile facilities have yet been completed. The PMNSCM plans to construct such facilities at two sites where large quantities of recovered chemical warfare material (RCWM) are stored the Munitions Assessment and Processing System (MAPS) at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), Maryland, and the Pine Bluff Non-Stockpile Facility (PBNSF) at Pine Bluff Arsenal (PBA), Arkansas.

An official product assessment and registration system for pharmaceuticals exists in each of the 10 countries. Their functions are determined by legal provisions. Systems for registration of pharmaceutical products came into operation at quite different times in the 10 countries — as early as 1942 in Tunisia and as late as 1993 in Uganda. Some of the systems have evolved in response to dmg-related crises such as the thalidomide disaster, public pressure to expand the scope of dmg assessment and the pressure from industry and consumers to expedite the registration process. 

Section I of this book includes chapters on the principles and practice of PLC. After this introductory Chapter 1, Chapter 2 provides information on efforts undertaken to date in order to establish the theoretical foundations of PLC. With growing availability and popularity of modem computer-aided densitometers, separation results can be obtained in digital form as a series of concentration profiles that can be relatively easily assessed and processed. From these, relevant conclusions can be drawn in exactly the same manner as in automated column chromatographic techniques. Efforts undertaken to build a theoretical foundation of PLC largely consist of adaptation of known strategies (with their validity confirmed in preparative column liquid chromatography) to the working conditions of PLC systems. 

Fig. 11.2 presents areas of improvement considering two boundaries for the system supply chain assessment and process assessment. The economic indicators have been classified in these two levels, because (1) some retrofit actions influence the different stakeholders and therefore the economic aspects of the supply chain should be considered (2) some retrofit actions might have little influence on the external stakeholders and therefore the economic evaluation can be focused on the economic performance of the company. 

Output 2 examines the situation where the hazard had not been identified in the risk assessment, and the system of work had not changed since tlie assessment. The implications are that the hazard identification process in the original risk assessment failed in some way. There are two potential shortfalls here as shown... 

The synthesis of the correct structure and the optimization of parameters in the design of the reaction and separation systems are often the single most important tasks of process design. Usually there are many options, and it is impossible to fully evaluate them unless a complete design is furnished for the outer layers of the onion. For example, it is not possible to assess which is better. 

To evaluate the image quality of the processing system, one can determine classical parameters like spatial resolution, contrast resolution, dynamic range, local and global distortion. Guidelines for film digitization procedures have been well described now. Furthermore, a physical standard film for both equipment assessment and digitization calibration and control, will be available in a next future (4). 

Reactive System Screening Tool (RSST) The RSST is a calorimeter that quickly and safely determines reactive chemical hazards. It approaches the ease of use of the DSC with the accuracy of the VSP. The apparatus measures sample temperature and pressure within a sample containment vessel. Tne RSST determines the potential for runaway reactions and measures the rate of temperature and pressure rise (for gassy reactions) to allow determinations of the energy and gas release rates. This information can be combined with simplified methods to assess reac tor safety system relief vent reqiiire-ments. It is especially useful when there is a need to screen a large number of different chemicals and processes.
