FCC regulations

Amateur radio licensing is governed by the FCC under strict federal regulations. Individuals of any age may be granted a license to operate amateur stations for personal use. To obtain a license, one must demonstrate an understanding of pertinent FCC regulations as well as knowledge of radio-station operation and safety considerations. 

UWB antenna. A pulse-shaping filter is used to ensure that the emitted power spectrum of the UWB pulses is under the FCC regulation mask. When operating in DSP mode, a selected channel is connected to the on-the-fly spike feature extraction block and the features are transmitted wirelessly for further processing. 

The regulation divides the digital devices into two classes. Class A applies to equipment sold exclusively for commercial use while Class B applies to equipment sold for use in a residential environment. For each of these classes, the FCC regulation specifies maximum permitted energy levels that can escape a device. 

Except for sulfur, all these contaminants poison the FCC catalyst, causing it to lose its ability to produce valuable products. Sulfur in the feed increases operating costs because additional feed and product treatment facilities are required to meet product specifications and comply with environmental regulations. 

In 1990, U.S. gasoline contained about 10 vol% olefins, the majority of which emanate from FCC gasoUne. FCC gasoline has 25 vol% to 35 vol% olefins. Of these olefins, Cg-C olefins account for about 85% of the total pool. For non-RFG gasoline, as with sulfur, the regulation allows the maximum olefin content to be 125% of the 1990 baseline values. 

The gaseous emissions from the FCC unit are CO, NOj, particulates, and SOj. All are either locally or nationally regulated. Table 10-7 shows the current allowable limits of the EPA New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for the emissions of these airborne pollutants. NSPS levels can be triggered by one of the following conditions ... 

Gaseous emissions (CO, NO, SO, particulates) have been regulated at local and national levels. The quantity of these emissions is directly related to the quality of the FCC stocks, operating conditions, catalyst type, and mechanical conditions of the unit. Processing heavy feeds will release a greater amount of SO, NO, and particulates. 

Krenzke, L.D. and Baron, K. (1995) FCC pretreating to meet new environmental regulations on gasoline. Paper No. 

FCC emission reduction technologies for regulated pollutants (SO, NO, CO, and PM) through consent decrees implementation will be further discussed in Chapters 15 through 18 in this book. 

Recently, refiners have begnn to nse TSSs to control particulate matter from FCCs for environmental reasons. MACT11 regulations require that FCC particulate emissions be reduced to less than 1 lb particulate per 1000 lb coke bum (this limit is the same as the NSPS limit for particulate matter). There are four TSS technology companies licensing TSSs to meet the MACT II/NSPS limits. Figure 18.5 contains a sketch of a UOP TSS unit. 

The container should not interact physically or chemically with the material that it holds so as to alter its strength, quality, or purity, and the food additive contact surface of the container should comply with the food additive regulations promulgated under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (or with applicable laws and regulations in other countries in which FCC specifications are recognized). 

Beyond requirements related to sanitation, however, manufacturers, processors, packers, and distributors should establish and exercise other appropriate systems of controls throughout their operations, including food safety assurance systems such as Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), where applicable, to ensure that FCC substances are safe and otherwise suitable for their intended use. These controls, together with the regulations cited above, constitute good manufacturing practices. While the...
