Canadian Chemical Processing

In tanks where brick wall linings may not be desired, brick floors are sometimes installed in the bottoms to protect the bottoms (and perhaps the bag liner) from steam jets, mechanical abuse and the like. (Canadian Chemical Processing for September 3, 1980, Page 21, provides a case history of three rectangular creosoted Douglas Fir tanks, with 316 stainless tie rods, installed in 1958, and apparently still used by the purchaser at the date of publication for acid/sul-furic cleaning of copper and brass bars up to 50 feet in length. The units are lead-lined, with "acid brick" laid over the lead in the tank bottoms.)...

European developments are covered in the Petroleum Times, Petroleum (London), and the Institute of Petroleum Review. Canadian Chemical Processing is carrying an increasing number of articles as a result of the rapidly growing petrochemical industry and the vast new petroleum and gas fields which have been discovered in that country. There are many Japanese and Russian articles referring to possible commercial production of hydrocarbons from petroleum. In the case of Russian references, it is not known whether processes described have actually been used commercially.

The Canadian Chemical Producers Association (CCPA) has the longest-standing Responsible Care verification program in the world. Its Responsible Care Management System Verification (MSV) preceded the U.S. MSV process, and the current ACC Responsible Care certification program. The CCPA Responsible Care verification process has three purposes ... 

Belanger, Jean was the President of the Canadian Chemical Producers Association from 1979 to 1996. Mr. Belanger currently serves as Chair of the Advisory Board to the Institute for Chemical Process and Environmental Technology of the National Research Council. In 1996, he was appointed an officer of the Order of Canada. Mr. Belanger was appointed to the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy in October 1996. Mr. Belanger is the Chair of the NRTEE s Ecological Fiscal Reform (EFR) and Energy Task Force. 

Perhaps not surprisingly because it developed Responsible Care , Canada has arguably the most comprehensive approach. The Canadian Chemical Producers Association (CCPA) has made the verification process mandatory once a member company has completed its three-year Responsible Care implementation process. The verification process involves a three-day visit by a team comprised of two industry experts, an activist (usually from the CCPA national advisory panel) and a citizen selected from the community around each visited site. Other than the newest member companies, all but two have been visited and these were scheduled for early 1999. The CCPA is now field-testing a second round of the verification process, which will be undertaken on the third anniversary of a company s successful completion of its first verification. 

Industrial chemical processes manufacture products that differ in chemical content from process feeds, which are naturally occurring raw materials, plant or animal matter, intermediates, chemicals of commerce, or wastes. Great Canadian Oil Sands, Ltd. (GCOS), in a process shown in Fig. 1.1, produces naphtha, kerosene, gas oil, fuel gas, plant fuel, oil, coke, and sulfur from Canadian Athabasca tar sands, a naturally occurring mixture of sand grains, fine clay, water, and a crude hydrocarbon called bitumen. This is one of a growing number of processes designed to produce oil products from feedstocks other than petroleum.

The Canadian Chemical Producers Association has prepared a checklist for determining when MOC is needed. It is reproduced below in Table 10.1 (with some minor editorial changes). If, during the change evaluation process, a positive answer to any of the 12 questions in the checklist is generated, then the proposed change probably requires the implementation of the MOC process. 

Today, Canadian process safety management guidelines are based on those promulgated by the US. Center for Chemical Process Safety and are contained in the document. Process Safety Management (Center for Chemical Process Safety 1992). The dozen elements of process safety management are identified in Table 21-2 and very closely track with those of the OSHA requirement, but there are differences. 

Marcus, Rudolph Arthur (b. 1923) Canadian-born American chemist whose work on the theory of electron transfer in chemical reactions, such as oxidation and reduction, changed the way scientists looked at these reactions and provided a clearer understanding of a wide range of chemical processes. This important work earned him the 1992 Nobel Prize in chemistry.
