Equipment information sources

When planning new installations, manufacturers catalogues may be the only information source of equipment data, but they rarely indicate the space needed outside the equipment outline. This requires careful consideration from an experienced facility planner to establish realistic space requirements. 

Maintenance The maintenance expense consists of two components, namely, materials and labor, approximately 60 and 40 percent, respectively. Company records are the oest information sources, however, a value of 6 to 10 percent of the fixed capital investment is a reasonable figure. Processes with a large amount of rotating equipment or that operate at extremes of temperature and/or pressure have higher maintenance requirements. 

Logs represent host by three different keys, a host name, a host IP address, and a host MAC address. The name is either fully qualified or a simple machine name, depending on the information source. This type of information is often provided by host-based information sources, or by devices configured to do on-the-fly reverse DNS mapping. An IP address is often provided by network-based IDS sensors and other network equipments. Finally, MAC addresses are provided by low-level networking devices such as wireless access points and switches, when specific network or wireless attacks are detected. All three keys are frequently found in event logs.

This book summarizes information on plastics recycling based on studies conducted for the state of Illinois. Part I discusses characterization, collection, costs, and markets for mixed plastics recycling. Part li discusses recycling technologies, Including those for processing and separation, buyer specifications, and the manufacture of plastic lumber. Appendices Include lists of scrap plastic handlers and brokers, manufacturers of recycling equipment, and information sources. 

The following sections address each of the protection areas described above in detail, with the current equipment items featured and items in development that are designed to overcome the deficiencies of present equipment briefly described. Sufficient technical data are included to allow the healthcare professional to become familiar with the operation, components, and the limitations of the present chemical defense equipment. Should the interested reader desire more detail on chemical defense equipment, several sources are available. First, the written references and expert consultants to this chapter are sources of vast amounts of information. Possibly of more value to the healthcare professional is the nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) officer who is an integral part of each combat element and who is available to provide detailed advice as well as hands-on assistance. 

In two of the case study industries, there were indications of reductions in support services that could have potential safety consequences. In particular, in the airline industry case study, there were concerns about cuts in corporate support departments such as engineering and meteorology, which could leave the airlines more dependent on other information sources (e.g., equipment vendors). Concerns about the elimination of most airline weather departments and the reliance on publicly available weather services were also raised independently by one of the airline industry interviewees. Finally, claims were also made that competition and financial pressiues had reduced the resources available for inter-airline bench-marking on safety-related issues. 

Gather evidence from many sources during an investigation. Get information from witnesses and reports and observation. Get copies of all reports (documents containing normal operating procedures, flow diagrams, etc., maintenance charts, or reports of difficulties or abnormalities). Keep complete and accurate notes. Record pre-incident conditions, the incident sequence, and post-incident conditions. In addition, document the location of employee, witnesses, equipment, energy sources, and hazardous materials. 

Since early 1990 s Petri Nets (Condition and Event Petri Nets) have been used for modelling and control to model the batch system. Yamalidou and Kantor [15] have studied different techniques and the use of High-level Petri Nets for modelling and optimal control of discrete events in chemical processes. In Kitajima et al. [16] a systematic procedure to create a colored Petri Net model from a SFC and various information sources, recipe, equipment information and batch schedule has been proposed [17]. 

A special part of the program is the ALERT program. GIDEP immediately notifies all participants of actual or potential problems with parts, components, materials, manufacturing processes, test equipment, or safety conditions. The list seems almost infinite and very long per industry, but here are just a very small handful of other useful U.S. government sources (many countries have their own information sources) ... 

Flexible blanket insulations have proven to provide snbstantial noise attenuation, be easy to remove and reinstall during equipment maintenance, and be cost effective in many applications requiring ready access to the equipment. Information about thermal-acoustic flexible blanket insulation is available from many manufacturers of industrial blanket insulation and in the sources listed at the end of this chapter. 

An important point here is to not let the principal hazard mask other important hazardous properties of a chemical. It is important to review other information sources about the chemical to be sure that you understand all of the potential hazards of the chemicals that you are using. Eor example, see the SDS in Appendix A under Section 2 about the hazards of chemicals. Eor this chemical, acetonitrile, a principal hazard is that it is highly flammable but it can also cause serious eye irritation. It is also possible that some hazardous properties of chemicals have not yet been recognized, studied, or documented, so you must treat all chemicals with care, minimizing your exposure to the greatest extent possible. This is easy to do in a well-equipped laboratory so you will be able to usemost chemicals very safely. This will be discussed more in Chapter 7. 

Formulae for the manufacture of a wide variety of chemical products are often required by manufacturers and technologists and this information can be found in many works. One of the best is the Chemical Formulary by H. Bennett (Chemical Publishing Co., 1935-1958) which consists of 10 volumes plus an index volume. Each volume is independent and contains thousands of recipes from many fields. Over 800 can be found with ingredients, recommended equipment and sources of supply in Van Nostrand s Practical Formulary by W. R. Minrath (1957) which gives formulae for stains, paints, polishes and cleaners, cosmetics, food, and many other chemical products. Another useful and comprehensive compendium of formulae for household... 

Below are some of the pertinent federal requirements. Following several of them are related suggestions and recommendations, which this information source believes are also necessary or important to follow, even though they may not be part of the regulations. These are printed in italic type. The most important recommendation that this chemical manufacturer makes is that workers be familiar with the health and safety aspects of TDI, and that they use the proper protective equipment when contact with this product is possible. 

Through its committees, divisions, and chapters, the American Vacuum Society has produced a nearly complete bibhography (to 1996) (8), a dictionary of terms (9), a monograph series, and a number of other useful pubHcations (10). Another source of information is the Association of Vacuum Equipment Manufacturers. A history of vacuum ideas and technology development from the Middle Ages to Newton has been given (11).
