Disposable bottle systems

The simplest molds consist of two parts one fixed and one moveable. We use such molds to fabricate items, such as disposable stadium cups, compact disks, and coat hangers, which have simple designs with no undercuts. As the complexity of the product increases, so must the complexity of the mold. The molds used to produce large items, such as dishwasher tubs and automobile bumpers, may consist of multiple moveable components and weigh several tons. Even apparently simple items, such as screw tops for bottles, require a complex ejection system that unscrews the product from part of the mold. In order to facilitate cooling, virtually all molds are designed with liquid cooling channels. 

In instances where CO2 storage bottles are installed in enclosed spaces, an exhaust fan is usually provided the protected hazard area. It is activated to remove the vapors once a system has been fully discharged, rather than a prevention measure for partial vapor release and disposal of unexpected leakages. 

In general, the subsequent stages occur in small bioreactors, known simply as flasks or bottles, since they have no monitoring and control system and are usually disposable. Apart from flasks and bottles, multiwell plates can be used to culture cells, but their use is restricted mainly to cloning and selection of cells. 

Lecture bottles of HCI and CO/CH4 gas must be strapped or chained securely to the laboratory bench. Work on a vacuum system requires preliminary review of procedures and careful execution in order to avoid damage to the apparatus and possible injury from broken glass in addition the liquid nitrogen used for cold traps must be handled properly (see Appendix C). Safety glasses must be worn. Benzoyl chloride, which is a potent lach-rymator, and other waste chemicals must be disposed of properly. 

They are typically applied as adhesive sealants in bodywork manufacturing (fold bonding and flange bonding, vibration insulation, corrosion protection) and as sealants in bottle and glass caps. For environmental reasons (hydrochloric acid separation in the case of thermal disposal), PVC plastisols are increasingly being replaced by acrylate-plastisols and epoxy systems. 

The SCANS reactor is a small, disposable container used to access and treat individual CAIS vials or bottles containing chemical agents (see Figure 1-3).14 Its process chemistry is similar to that of the RRS neutralization. It is intended for use only where a limited number (80 or fewer) of loose CAIS vials or glass bottles are recovered. Because SCANS does not have the glove box necessary to open a CAIS PIG safely, it could not be used for destruction of a CAIS PIG. The SCANS is a hand-held device. It requires neither the elaborate system of trailers that supports the RRS nor its large operating crew. It is a relatively inexpensive destruction system. 

The establishments which import, manufacture, bottle, distribute or retail the biological products for whatever reason shall have refrigeration or freezing systems at their disposal which assure the preservation of these products up to their consumption by the user. 

The Chemical Transfer Facility (CTF) is an R D facility at APG that has processed munitions, sample bottles, and ton containers containing a variety of chemical fills. The CTF is not capable of processing explosively configured munitions but does contain a chemical agent transfer system that can drain ton containers. There is no treaty-imposed time limit on operation of the CTF, and if its schedule permits, it can dispose of the container items listed above. PMNSCM has proposed using the CTF as part of MAPS to destroy appropriate NSCWM items found at APG. 

Two developmental systems could also be used. First, the SCANS system for on-site disposal of individual CAIS vials or bottles is under development specifically for this category. The benefit of SCANS is that it is designed to be an efficient treatment system that can be used if an RRS or EDS is not available for relocation to the site of the CAIS find and if transportation in an MRC is not allowed by the receiving state. SCANS may be a worthwhile alternative disposal option that can save the expense and time of transporting an RRS or EDS to the site. Second, if the development and permitting of the Donovan blast chamber (DBC) are completed, this system could be used for the disposal of loose CAIS, with the DBC transported to the CAIS or the CAIS... 

If a permit modification can be obtained, the two GB-filled ton containers can be handled in the Anniston Chemical Disposal Facility (ANCDF) since that facility can monitor for GB and has the equipment to punch and drain ton containers. The bottles and vials are more problematic. If they can be opened and placed in a tray, they can be fed into the metal parts furnace (MPF) or possibly into the deactivation furnace system (DFS). If it is necessary to access the agent in the bottles, they can be crushed prior to feeding into the DFS. The PMNSCM proposes to use the ANCDF for disposal of the Anniston Army Depot chemical samples. It is also possible to destroy agents in the vials and DOT bottles with the EDS-1, although this may not be as economical as using the ANCDF. 

Other uses are found in plastic surgery, artificial skin and blood substitutes. An unique field is found in membranes for dialysis. PE, mostly linear (including UHMW), serves in many implants or in artificial joints. PVC is the most useful polymer in medicine, in plasticized form for flexible tubing, dialysis and infusion systems. PP is offered for disposible injections and, together with ethylene (copolymer), in blood bags. PS serves as a substitute for glass in tubes, bottles and petri dishes, and as the copolymers SAN or ABS in a wide host of uses. Polyester (PET) is used in sewing threads or nets in prostheses. PC is used (as a replacement for cellophane) in membranes for dialysis as well as in blood pumps and other systems.
