Full-time operation

It would appear obvious for startup, and in some cases full-time operation. that a suction strainer or filter is mandatory. The reason for ilic strainer is to keep Junk and pipe scale out of the compressor. Fines from pipe scale and rust will make short work of the internal bore of a cylinder and are not all that good for the balance of the components. In some severe ca.ses, cylinders have been badly damaged in a matter of a few weeks. The strainer should be removable in service for cleaning, particularly when it is intended for permanent installation. Under all circumstances, provision must be made to monitor the condition of the strainer. Much frustration has been expended because a compressor overheated or lost capacity and no one knew if the strainer had fouled or blinded. 

Electric boilers are generally inherently simpler to own and operate because there is no combustion system required (fuel tanks, pumps, burners, regulators, flame safeguards, etc.). Also space requirements are smaller and capital and maintenance costs often are lower. In addition, electric boilers typically do not require full-time operators. 

For a 1000-MWe nuclear reactor fueled with a fuel containing 5% 235U, calculate the uranium use in a year of full-time operation. 

The Fluid Flame energy systems are designed to run themselves without the need for full-time operators. The system is fully automated and is equipped with annunciators to alert operators when problems arise. A number of electrical process controllers are used to maintain constant temperatures in the bed and in the vapor space of the combustion cell in order to provide steam at constant pressure. Signals from these controllers dictate the feed rate from the metering bin and the amount of excess air fed into the system. The temperature is controlled in order to maintain constant parameters throughout the system and to keep temperatures below the slagging temperatures of the ash. Normal temperature variation is less than +5C° (9F°), and the response time to process variations is rapid. 

The periodic medical examination should ideally be conducted annually for full-time operatives (e.g., in pesticide manufacture) or at midseason and the end of the work season for part-time employees (e.g., field workers). However, in determining the periodieity of medical examinations and special studies for individual cases, the advising physician should take into account factors that include age, gender, frequency and duration of exposures, and potential exposure dosages. Additionally, employees should be advised, ideally at the preemployment medical examination, that if they believe that they are developing pesticide exposure-... 

On November 8, 2006, the system was started up for full-time operation. The voltage was set to 190-V DC and each anode was delivering approximately 250A. The soil temperatures climbed quickly with the center of the soil mass reaching 80 °C within 3 months and the current reached 400A per side. The south anode warmed to around 55 °C, and the north anode only reached 40 °C due to the cooling effect of the sheet pile wall and river during the winter months. 

Uninterruptible Power Supply TUPS ) means a power supply that provides automatic, instantaneous power, without delay or transients, on failure of normal power. It can consist of batteries or full-time operating generators. It can be designated as standby or emergency power depending on the application. Emergency installations must meet the requirements specified for emergency power.

The retrieval and conditioning activities will require 5 full-time operators for about 4 months, the forecast total dose commitment is 0.061 Man-Sv. Six containers are needed instead of 10, the previously estimated number of containers has been reviewed to take account of Co decay the containers will be temporarily stored on the site. 

A study in 1997 showed there could be safety problems at part-time signals, and many installations have been converted to full-time operation. 

Operations The QRA team will need specific data on how the system is actually operated. For example, are the bypass valves normally left open to increase throughput, what happens when the high level alarm sounds, or do operators bypass interlocks to continue production Human actions/errors are usually dominant contributors to the real-world risks, and truthful data on actual process operations are vital to credible QRA results. Expect to commit one full-time equivalent for the life of the project. 

In establishing specifications, the first important items to identify from the plant process material balance are normal, maximum, and minimum intake or suction flow rates together with corresponding conditions of temperature and pressure. The required discharge pressure must be established. If it is necessary or important to be able to operate at reduced or over-normal flow rates, these should be identified for the manufacturer, together with the length of time of such expected condition e.g., full time at one-half rate, 20 minutes out of every hour at 10% over normal, etc. These operating requirements may separate the types of equipment. Because it is uneconomical to purchase horsepower that cannot be used by the fluid system, ask that the manufacturer state the maximum load and/or conditions that will fully load the available horsepower of the compressor-driver unit. 

Two of the machines will operate full-time the third will serve as a standby. For such a situation, the suction header would be sized for the suction capacity of two machines. In practice, it may be better to run all three machines at reduced speed. Then when one comes down for some reason, the other two can speed up to carry the full load. Of course, this type of operation cannot be accomplished with a fixed speed drive. For the situation described, the design load is still the full capacity of two machines or four cylinders. 

Load factor is particularly important with air-cooled machines where sustained full-load operation results in an early build-up of deposits on valves and other parts. This build-up increases the frequency of maintenance required to maintain compressor reliability. Intermittent operation is always recommended for these units. The frequency and duration of unloaded operation depends on the type, size, operating pressure of the compressor. Air-cooled compressors for higher than 200-psig-pressure application are usually rated by a rule that states that the compressing time shall not exceed 30 minutes or less than 10 minutes. Shutdown or unloaded time should be at least equal to compression time or 50 per cent. 

Under poor operational conditions, tannin chemistry is a particularly forgiving form of internal treatment because it tolerates FW with significant variations in quality. It is capable of delivering clean, corrosion-free waterside surfaces in many types of boilers, despite low FW temperatures, high oxygen levels, and hardness ingress. It is especially suitable for use in smaller facilities that do not have the benefit of full-time, trained operators, and under on-off, batch process, or permanent low-fire circumstances. 

The combination of highly exothermic reactions with a sharp increase in viscosity as conversion proceeds controls reactor design and operational conditions in full-scale operations. The art of sulfonation is to maintain the optimal reaction temperature and reaction time, resulting in products with small amounts of byproducts and good color. 

An advantage of the microbore gas chromatrography/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC/TOFMS) method over the other two approaches is that separation efficiency need not be compromised for speed of analysis. The rapid deconvolution of spectra ( scan rate ) with TOFMS makes it the only MS approach to achieve several data points across a narrow peak in full-scan operation. However, the injection of complex extracts deteriorates performance of microbore columns quickly, and an increased LOD and decreased ruggedness result. Microbore columns may be used in water analysis if the LOD is sufficiently low, but they can rarely be used in real-life applications to complicated extracts. 

Various industrial pilot plants and full-scale operations, using radiation-chemical processing have been reported, with production rates -50 to -1000 tons per year (Spinks and Woods, 1990 Chutny and Kucera, 1974). Production rates less than -50 tons per year are not considered viable. These operations are or have been conducted in countries such as the United States, the former U.S.S.R., Japan, and France. However, some operations have also been reported in the former Czechoslovakia and Romania, especially in connection with petroleum industry. In the United States, chlorination of benzene to gammexane (hexachlorocyclohexane) was hotly pursued at one time by radiation or photoinitiation. Since the early seventies the activity has dwindled, presumably due to lack of demand and environmental considerations. 

PrHAs must be performed by a team. Teams can vary in size and in operational background, but must have expertise in engineering and process operations. Individuals may be full-time team members or may be part of a team for only a limited time. That is, team members may be rotated according to their expertise in the part of the process being reviewed. 

Firm 1 - Very Large. One full-time technical person at corporate level, five part-time at operating companies. About five other staff personnel in various activities. 

The membrane selectively rejects oxygen and nitrogen. The field test showed a selectivity for chlorine over nitrogen of about ten. That this is so much lower than that obtained in the laboratory is attributed to concentration polarisation. Increasing the rate of flow through the module can alleviate this. At the same time, chlorine recovery can be maintained by adding modules in series. This is precisely what would be done in a commercial unit, and so one can reasonably expect better results in full-scale operation.

For the case of impossible 3-D reactor or vessel sampling, this upward-flowing pipeline sampler should be implemented with the reactor in a recirculation loop configuration, as shown in Figure 3.20. The only new requirement is a low-power pump, to be operated full-time for all systems where this is feasible. 

Fire prevention efforts for handling flammables and combustibles rely heavily on the mechanical integrity of the transfer system, the containment of small spills that do occur, and the control of ignition sources. While operator presence in the immediate area of the rack or wharf is recommended for any loading or unloading operation, full-time surveillance at the unloading spot is recommended.
