Environmental test plan

HPVIS provides complete and easy access to technical health and environmental effect information on chemicals that are manufactured or imported to US in volumes greater than IMM lbs per year. Information in this database are submitted through HPV Challenge Program. HPVIS allows users to search for summary information, test plans, and new data on high production volume chemicals as they are developed.

The LT system was mobilized to the site after preparation of a detailed site specific Work Plan and Health and Safety Plan. An Air Permit was received from the Stanislaus County Air Resources Board. The soil was excavated from a 50 ft. by 50 ft. area. During treatment the treated soil was composited daily and analyzed using a Hanby Environmental Test Kit for petrolevim hydrocarbons. This simple test kit, which provides rapid soil analysis, was used as a means of process control. The processed soil operating temperature and retention time was optimized at 422°F and 22 minutes, respectively. The treated soil samples were collected and analyzed for TPH and BTEX s by an independent third party. The average of the 18 samples collected and analyzed using approved analytical techniques are provided on Table I. The treated soil exceeded the treatment criteria of 100 ppm total petrolevim hydrocarbons and 700 ppb toluene. 

ES-EPA (Expert System for Environmental Pollutant Analysis) is an expert system for producing laboratory test plans, including the appropriate sampling methods, pretreatments, test methods and their order. ES-EPA generates test plans in a stepwise manner from abstract plans called "templates" to detailed plans, using a hierarchical planning mechanism. The knowledge base contains information on analysis items, test methods, test equipment, pretreatments and other necessary information. The prototype system has been successfully tested for various cases in the domain. The development of a delivery version has been completed and it will soon be used in the field on a daily basis to further verify its feasibility. 

Safety and environment. Test procedures must conform to all statutory and company safety and environmental regulations. The test plan should be reviewed with persons familiar with safety and environmental requirements and amended to fully conform to these. 

Examples of these requirements include the need to check that an instrument is being used within the stated environmental conditions and application restrictions of the manufacturer. Specific requirements are made to check for compatible materials whenever any part in a safety instrumented function has process wetted parts. A planned comprehensive testing program with written test results is required. A periodic inspection and test plan must be created and verified. 

Should include a specimen to be exposed to all applicable environmental tests during the qualification test plan.

Using Environmental Examples to Teach About Acids. Acid-base reactions are usually presented to secondary students as examples of aqueous equilibrium (2). In their study of acids and bases, students are expected to master the characteristic properties and reactions. They are taught to test the acidity of solutions, identify familiar acids and label them as strong or weak. The ionic dissociation of water, the pH scale and some common reactions of acids are also included in high school chemistry. All of these topics may be illustrated with examples related to acid deposition (5). A lesson plan is presented in Table I. 

Does the computer room have limited access (e.g., are the servers physically/ logically secure) 2. Are there provisions for power backup 3. Is there a disaster recovery plan and is it periodically tested 4. Is there environmental monitoring 5. Are there off-site back-up facilities for key documents and software Is it readily retrievable ... 

Plans are underway for a field test of a megawatt class fuel cell/gas turbine hybrid system on an Environmental Protection Agency site at Ft. Mead, Maryland. This system is expected to exhibit an efficiency of about 60 % (LHV) depending on the turbine and the inverter selected. Operation is expected in the second half of 2002.
