Most emphasis is placed on a program of rigorous preventive maintenance. Appropriate climate conditions can help to prevent mold attack, which typically only occurs at elevated relative humidity. Storage furniture which provides an effective barrier for insects, regular inspection of the collections, monitoring of all collection areas with insect traps, and access control measures which minimize the chance of insect entry into the collection areas, are some aspects of an effective pest control management program (175). 

Bed Expansion and Bed Density. Bed density can readily be deterrnined for an operating unit by measuring the pressure differential between two elevations within the bed. This is a highly useful measurement for control and monitoring purposes. 

Detailed All <0.25 X OEL <1.25 X OEL Arithmetic mean <0.5 xOEL Mean >0.5 x OEL (or with individual results scattered above the limit) None if exposure is as low as reasonably practical. Investigate, take remedial action and repeat survey. Consider routine monitoring and the appropriate frequency. Investigate, assess control measures, improve where possible, repeat survey and consider routine monitoring. 

LVHV nozzles can create problems that may be sufficiently severe as to prevent their use, usually in the form of ergonomic encumbrances and excessive noise. These problems can be dealt with, to limited extents, and LVHV applications can be effective. It must also be understood that dust control by 1..VHV systems is ultimately limited. No ventilation control measure can ensure sufficient worker protection down to extraordinatily low acceptable dust levels. Worker protection must always be confirmed by industrial hygiene monitoring and evaluation, and administrative control measures such as respiratory protection may be necessary.

Process automation implies the real time acquisition and control of process variables such as temperature, agitation, material delivery, or quality control measurements. As far as the MARS system is concerned, a real time process is just like any instrument. The acquisition module merely requires more interactive monitoring, alarms, and control. This can be accomplished by means of a real time multi-tasking data acquisition module. 

An extruder for a polymer was controlled by a microprocessor based data acquisition and control system. The CAMILE system (Control And Monitoring Interface for Laboratory Experiments) connects the sensors and control elements of the extruder to a host MS-DOS computer. While a variety of variables are measured and controlled, this paper will consider only temperature control.

When close control is desired, usually the variable that is to be closely controlled is monitored and no changes are made until the measurement differs from what is desired. This is feedback control. It obviously is not an ideal system, since the controller can only react to changes. A better system would be one that anticipates a change and takes corrective action that ensures an unvarying output. This is a feedforward control system. This type of control is very advantageous when the input variables have a wide range of variation. 

In practice, the efficiency of a fired heater is controlled by monitoring the oxygen concentration in the combustion products in addition to the stack gas temperature. Dampers are used to manipulate the air supply. By tying the measuring instruments into a feedback loop with the mechanical equipment, optimization of operations can take place in real time to account for variations in the fuel flow rate or heating value. 

This information sheet from the Health and Safety Executive summaries the health hazards that can arise from exposure to styrene. It provides practical advance to FRP manufacturers on how to assess and control styrene levels in the workplace and how these control measures should be monitored and maintained in accordance with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002. The document applies mainly to contact moulding processes, and aims to define what level of control is currently recognised as being reasonably practicable.

The electrical circuit, Figure 17.2 (b), consists of two 1.5 V dry cells that provides a voltage applied to the above titration cell. It is duly controlled and monitored by the potential divider (R) and is conveniently measured with the help of a digital voltmeter (V). Finally, the current flowing through the circuit may be read out on the micro-ammeter (M) installed. 

Simply, SCADA is a computer-based control system that remotely controls processes previously controlled manually. The philosophy behind SCADA control systems can be summed up by the phrase, If you can measure it, you can control it. SCADA allows an operator using a central computer to supervise (control and monitor) multiple networked computers at remote locations. Each remote computer can control mechanical processes (mixers, pumps, valves, etc.) and collect data from sensors at... 

DeVita and Crunkilton (1998) have examined QC associated with the use of SPMDs. The results of their study demonstrated that quality control measures applied to SPMD analysis met or surpassed conventional guidelines (EPA Method 610 for PAHs in water was used for this comparison) for precision and accuracy. This elevated level of data quality was achieved even though measurements of both overall precision and accuracy of SPMD data encompassed more steps (each with the potential for variability) than the conventional method. In summary, DeVita and Crunkilton (1998) found that QC measures could be used to validate data from the analysis of SPMDs used in the field. In view of the state of SPMD QC, it appears that the SPMD approach for monitoring hydrophobic organic contaminants is equivalent to some EPA-approved methods. 

It has already been mentioned that control of a continuous process includes control and monitoring of raw materials used in the process. This is a very successful area of application for NIR because of the minimal sample preparation required, the robustness of the instrumentation and its ability to measure both chemical and physical properties [117]. Libraries of raw material can be compiled, which can then be shared between manufacturing locations given adequate calibration checks between measuring equipment [118].
