Bucket elevators, skip hoists, and cranes are used for top feeding of the furnace. Retention and downward flow are controlled by timing of the bottom discharge. Gases are propelled by a blower or by induced draft from a stack or discharge fan. In normal operation, the downward flow of sohds and upward flow of gas are constant with time, maintaining ideal steady-state conditions. 

Saturable reactors, which are adjustable by a small dc signal, have also been used for both primary (stator) and secondary (rotor) control. In the primary they control motor voltage and therefore torque. In combination with fixed secondary resistors and feedback from a tachometer, this system can be used for precise speed and torque control of cranes, hoists, etc. Even reversing can be accomplished by using two saturable reactors in each of two (of three) phases. Other combinations of fixed or saturable reac tors in the primaiy and/or secondaiy, all combined with secondary resistors, provide a wide range of capabiUties and flexibihty for the wound-rotor motor. 

Thyristors have been replacing saturable reactors they are small, efficient, and easily controlled by a wide variety of control systems. A modern crane control drive uses fixed secondary resistors and two sets of primaiy thyristors (one set for hoist, one for lower). With tachometer feedback for speed sensing, the control for the motor provides speed regulation and torque hmiting in both directions, all with static-devices. A wide variety of control systems is possible the control should be designed for the specific application. 

A typical block layout for a diesel engine room is given in Figure 15.29, showing the necessary auxiliaries and local control panels. Not shown but also necessary are cranes and fire-protection systems. 

In recent years there has been a tendency to use a.c. in preference to d.c. for industrial purposes, but d.c. systems may still be operating in shipyards, steelworks and similar sites for motive power and also for mobile cranes, lighting and control equipment. The running rails and mountings of such systems are usually in close contact with the earth and severe leakages can be expected to occur, either accidently or eis a result of deterioration with age.

Risk management is a continuous process as was highlighted in Chapter 5, the consequences and frequency of an event are highly condition dependent. As a result, managing risk requires that conditions that may increase event severity or likelihood are adequately controlled. For example, if crane safety programs are not followed, the frequency of occurrence of dropped loads or overturned cranes may increase. This could result in substantially increased risk of piping failure and material release.

Another form of verification of a standard that does not depend on possibly non-causal correlations between exposure to a chemical and biological effect is the use of controlled experiments such as aquatic mesocosms (see Section 4.7) and experimental field plots. Although such systems do suffer from certain drawbacks (e.g., Crane 1997), they may provide a valuable line of evidence if designed appropriately. 

Transportation Chief. The transportation chief coordinates and controls all transportation on the facility. This includes directing the assembly of available vehicles and crews, and identifying needs beyond site capabilities such as cranes, trackmobiles, and bulldozers that must be obtained from outside organizations. The function also includes providing suitable transportation for facility employees who monitor the effects of emergencies beyond site boundaries, or interact with community officials at an off-site location. 

A 10-step kinetic model has been developed (Santolini et al., 2001). Crystal structures of xyNOS show that a Tyr-409 indol nitrogen atom forms a strong hydrogen bond with the heme thiolate (Crane et al., 1988 Raman et al.1998 Fishmann et al., 1999). The Try-409 mutation suggests that the heme potential controls the NOS reactions (Adak et al. 2001). Suppression of this hydrogen bond through the mutation lowers the reduction potential of the heme, inhibits heme reduction and accelerates oxidation of the Fe(II) heme-NO complex. The Arg binding increases the reduction potential of the NOS heme.
