Environment Filled

There are several machine systems available for aseptically filling glass and plastic bottles for still juices. (Aseptic filling of drink cartons is covered in Section 9.7.) Carbonated drinks are not aseptically filled. There are two main aseptic filling workflows, with a third workflow used less frequently. The first system sterilises the container, fills and seals it the second takes a sealed, precleaned bottle, removes the seal in a sterile environment, fills and re-seals the container. The third system blows a bottle and while it is still sterile fills it and then seals it, all within the same machine, this is known as a form-fill-seaF (FFS) system. 

Following the philosophy of explosion protection, the piping for cooling water shall be considered as empty and, as a part of the environment, filled with the gas-air mixture according to the grouping of the motor. (This is the practice when type testing such a motor for flameproofness.)... 

At birth, infants emerge from a sterile environment to be almost immediately exposed to an environment filled with a wide variety of microbes. The conjunctiva, as with...

The testimony of sport hunting in North America is a living environment, filled with large and small game, and hundreds of animals, plants and insects that prosper in a symbiotic relationship with those animals. North American wildlife thrives due to the successful conservation efforts funded by sport hunters. No species has ever become extinct (in the U.S. or elsewhere) or even truly threatened because of regulated sport hunting. 

In most cases the sample bottle has a wide mouth, making it easy to fill and remove the sample. A narrow-mouth sample bottle is used when exposing the sample to the container cap or to the outside environment is undesirable. Unless exposure to plastic is a problem, caps for sample bottles are manufactured from polyethylene. When polyethylene must be avoided, the container cap includes an inert interior liner of neoprene or Teflon. 

Acoustical Louvers. Acoustical louvers are used in building mechanical systems when exterior walls are penetrated for fresh air intake, exhaust, or rehef air, in situations where the impact of HVAC noise is of concern in the surrounding environment. The louvers consist of a series of hoUow sheet metal blades. The bottom faces of the louver blades are perforated and the blades are filled with fibrous sound-absorbing material. Typical acoustical louvers are 20 cm (8 in.) to 30 cm (12 in.) in depth. The amount of insertion loss they provide is limited. 

Sur cia.1 Deposits. Uraniferous surficial deposits maybe broadly defined as uraniferous sediments, usually of Tertiary to recent age which have not been subjected to deep burial and may or may not have been calcified to some degree. The uranium deposits associated with calcrete, which occur in Australia, Namibia, and Somaha in semiarid areas where water movement is chiefly subterranean, are included in this type. Additional environments for uranium deposition include peat and bog, karst caverns, as well as pedogenic and stmctural fills (15). 

If the production of vinyl chloride could be reduced to a single step, such as dkect chlorine substitution for hydrogen in ethylene or oxychlorination/cracking of ethylene to vinyl chloride, a major improvement over the traditional balanced process would be realized. The Hterature is filled with a variety of catalysts and processes for single-step manufacture of vinyl chloride (136—138). None has been commercialized because of the high temperatures, corrosive environments, and insufficient reaction selectivities so far encountered. Substitution of lower cost ethane or methane for ethylene in the manufacture of vinyl chloride has also been investigated. The Lummus-Transcat process (139), for instance, proposes a molten oxychlorination catalyst at 450—500°C to react ethane with chlorine to make vinyl chloride dkecfly. However, ethane conversion and selectivity to vinyl chloride are too low (30% and less than 40%, respectively) to make this process competitive. Numerous other catalysts and processes have been patented as weU, but none has been commercialized owing to problems with temperature, corrosion, and/or product selectivity (140—144). Because of the potential payback, however, this is a very active area of research. 

When it approved the New Animal Drug AppHcation (NADA) of formalin, FDA ruled that use of formalin for fisheries was safe for humans and the environment. They ruled that effluents from fish treatments at 250 mg/L should be diluted 10 times and from egg treatments 75 times if 1,000 —2,000 mg/L were used (10,11). Before registering the compound, FDA also addressed carcinogenicity by stating it was not concerned about human exposure from either water or fish treated with formalin. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has procedural guidelines that should protect workers from harm fill levels of formalin. Calculations based on treatment levels demonstrated that a fishery worker is exposed to not more than 0.117 mg/L formalin in the air, well below the levels estabUshed by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration to protect workers. 

Barite [13462-86-7], natural barium sulfate, BaSO, commonly known as barytes, and sometimes as heavy spar, tiU, or cawk, occurs in many geological environments in sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks. Commercial deposits are of three types vein and cavity filling deposits residual deposits and bedded deposits. Most commercial sources are replacement deposits in limestone, dolomitic sandstone, and shales, or residual deposits caused by differential weathering that result in lumps of barite enclosed in clay. Barite is widely distributed and has minable deposits in many countries. 

Separator s a physical barrier between the positive and negative electrodes incorporated into most cell designs to prevent electrical shorting. The separator can be a gelled electrolyte or a microporous plastic film or other porous inert material filled with electrolyte. Separators must be permeable to ions and inert in the battery environment. 

The PEEK resia is marketed as aeat or filled pellets for iajectioa mol ding, as powder for coatiags, or as preimpregaated fiber sheet and tapes. Apphcations iaclude parts that are exposed to high temperature, radiation, or aggressive chemical environments. Aerospace and military uses are prominent. At present, polyamideimide (PAl) resia and poly(arylene sulfides) are the main competitors for apphcations requiring service temperatures of 280°C. At lower temperatures, polyethersulfones, amorphous nylons, and polyetherimides (PEI) can be considered. 

As a result of the concentration of acidic species, such as chloride and sulfate, material scraped from the inside of tubercles is virtually always acidic when mixed with water. Acidity varies not only from tubercle to tubercle but also from place to place in a given tubercle. Acidity is greatest near the corroded metal surface. The size of the fluid-filled cavity can indicate acidity. The larger the cavity, the more acidic the internal environment. 

No common industrial metal is immune to corrosion fatigue since some reduction of the metal s resistance to cyclic stressing is observed if the metal is corroded, even mildly, by the environment in which the stressing occurs. Corrosion fatigue produces fine-to-broad cracks with little or no branching. They are typically filled with dense corrosion product. The cracks may occur singly but commonly appear as families of parallel cracks (Fig. 10.2). They are frequently associated with pits, grooves, or other forms of stress concentrators. Like other forms of...

Nutsche filters are well suited for handling flammable, toxic, corrosive and odor-noxious materials since they are autoclaved and designed for use in hazardous and ex-proof environments when extremely safe operation is required. They are available in almost any size with the larger machines for a slurry filling batch of 25 m and a cake volume of 10 m Such filters have a filtration area of 15 m and are suitable for fast filtering slurries that produce readily 0.5 m thick cakes. The basic configuration is shown in Figure 11. 

In lower pressure environments, the wave profiles are dominated by the consequences of deformation of the samples to fill the voids. This irreversible crush-up process strongly controls the wave speeds, which have anomalously low values at low initial sample densities. Modeling of this problem is...
