Collective system

Even while Raman spectrometers today incorporate modem teclmology, the fiindamental components remain unchanged. Connnercially, one still has an excitation source, sample illuminating optics, a scattered light collection system, a dispersive element and a detechon system. Each is now briefly discussed. 

Current is fed into the electrolyzer by means of anodic and cathodic end elements. The anodic compartment of each cell is joined to an independent brine feed tank by means of flanged connections. Chlorine gas leaves each cell from the top, passing through the brine feed tank and then to the cell room collection system. Hydrogen leaves from the top of the cathodic compartment of each cell the cell Hquor leaves the cathodic compartment from the bottom through an adjustable level connection. 

Air cleaning systems are often used to remove dust or vapors from plant or process exhaust streams. Dust collecting systems such as filters or electrostatic precipitators that handle heavy loads of dust are usually designed to be self-cleaning, but it is stiU. necessary to enter the air cleaner periodically for inspection or repair. Dust deposits inside the equipment are likely to be stirred up and inhaled by unprotected workers. Baghouses are particularly likely to cause exposure because large amounts of dust may be retained in the cloth and released when the bags are handled. 

Environmental Protection. Fumes resulting from exposure of anhydrous aluminum chloride to moisture are corrosive and acidic. Collection systems should be provided to conduct aluminum chloride dusts or gases to a scmbbing device. The choice of equipment, usually one of economics, ranges from simple packed-tower scmbbers to sophisticated high energy devices such as those of a Venturi design (11). 

The primary disadvantage of commingled collection is that municipalities must operate a different collection system for recyclables than for other household and commercial waste. The success of these new collection programs is highly dependent on pubHc participation. As a result, the amount of waste collected in commingled systems may be small. 

The State of New Jersey s Mandatory Recycling Act requked counties and municipalities to recycle 60% of the municipal soUd waste stream by 1995 (1). Although the law does not requke curbside collection systems, this is by far the most popular recycling collection method in New Jersey. By 1993, New Jersey reached a 46% recycling rate and led the United States in recycling. 

Kutrieb Corporation (Chetek, Wisconsin) operates a pyrolator process for converting tires into oil, pyrolytic filler, gas, and steel. Nu-Tech (Bensenvike, Illinois) employs the Pyro-Matic resource recovery system for tire pyrolysis, which consists of a shredding operation, storage hopper, char-coUection chambers, furnace box with a 61-cm reactor chamber, material-feed conveyor, control-feed inlet, and oil collection system. It is rated to produce 272.5 L oil and 363 kg carbon black from 907 kg of shredded tires. TecSon Corporation (Janesville, Wisconsin) has a Pyro-Mass recovery system that pyroly2es chopped tire particles into char, oil, and gas. The system can process up to 1000 kg/h and produce 1.25 MW/h (16). 

Because of large equipment and land requirements, capital costs for wastewater-treatment plants are high. A collection system that conveys both sanitary and storm flows must be designed to deal with high peak flows at the treatment plant detention basins are usually provided in order to smooth the flow into the plant and reduce the sudden peak flow. In the absence of such precautions, it may be necessary to by-pass a portion of the flow. 

Some materials, such as gasoline and heavy metals, may damage the collection system, cause explosions, or upset the treatment processes. 

This subsection is concerned with the application of particle mechanics (see Sec. 5, Fluid and Particle Mechanics ) to the design and apphcation of dust-collection systems. It includes wet collectors, or... 

Information on collection, one of the most costly functional elements, is presented in four parts deahng with (1) the types of collection services, (2) the types of collection systems, (3) an analysis of collection systems, and (4) the general methodology involved in setting up col-lec tion routes. 

Types of Collection Systems On the basis of their mode of operation, collection systems are classified into two categories (1) hauled-container systems and (2) stationary-container systems.

A problem of many sewage treatment works in the UK is that urban drainage is included with domestic sewage in the sewage collection systems. The resulting storm-water discharges, at times of heavy rainfall, lead to continuing phosphorus export to the river. Correction of this problem requires considerable investment in separate systems. 

The rapid development of microelectronics has enabled many similar measurements to be made with data collecting systems and then stored electronically. The raw data can then be downloaded to the data processing installation, where they can be plotted and evaluated at any time [1]. This applies particularly to monitoring measurements on pipelines for intensive measurements, see Section 3.7. Figure 3-1 shows an example of a computer-aided data storage system. 

The collection medium for gases can be liquid or solid sorbents, an evacuated flask, or a cryogenic trap. Liquid collection systems take the form of bubblers which are designed to maximize the gas-liquid interface. Each design is an attempt to optimize gas flow rate and collection efficiency. Higher flow rates permit shorter sampling times. However, excessive flow rates cause the collection efficiency to drop below 100%. 

Three of the disadvantages of ESPs are as follows (1) the initial cost is the highest of any particulate collection system, (2) a large amount of space is required for the installation, and (3) ESPs are not suitable for combustible particles such as grain or wood dust. 

Inertial collectors for mists and droplets are widely used. They include cyclone collectors, baffle systems, and skimmers in ductwork. Inertial devices can be used as primary collection systems, precleaners for other...

To handle the methane gas generated from the 42.5-acre site, an active interior gas collection system was installed as shown in Figure 11. The installation consisted of 42 recovery wells, a gas collection header system, condensate traps, blower station and a flare station. In addition, a methane monitoring system consisting of thirty-two 2-inch wells was installed around the site (U.S. EPA, 1987). 

Case 2 - The Hyde Park Landfill site, located in an industrial complex in the extreme northwest corner of Niagara, New York, was used from 1953 to 1975 as a disposal site for an estimated 80,000 tons of chemical waste, including chlorinated hydrocarbons. A compacted clay cover was installed in 1978 over the landfill and a tile leachate collection system was installed in 1979. Hazardous compounds such as ortho-, meta- and para-chlorobenzoic acid toluene ortho- and meta-chlorotoluene 3,4-dichlorotoluene and 2,6-dichlorotoluene were detected in the leachate (Irvine et al., 1984). Since 1979, the existing leachate treatment system has used activated carbon as the technology for removing organic carbon. Although...
