Louisiana case studies

PO WW ER system costs are estimates compiled by the vendor and are partly based on data from the Lake Charles SITE demonstration in Louisiana (Case Study 1, see D10060N, pp. 27-28). Estimates are affected by site-specific factors including physical site conditions, geographical site location, treatment goals, leachate characteristics, and the total volume of leachate to be treated.

Case studies from Hawaii and Louisiana document a dramatic decline in the development of sugarcane herbicides. Evidence shows that the decline in the Hawaiian sugarcane acreage was attributable, at least in part, to delays in commercializing new weed control products (Smith, 1998b).

This fourth edition was developed after my retirement from industry and into the part-time consultant business. Today there are so many additional resources. The introductory chapter has been rejuvenated and reinforced with today s statistics. There are four new chapters. I was able to get help from the Mary Kay O Cormor Process Safety Center (College Station, Texas), supporters of the Lake Area Industries/ McNeese University Engineering (Lake Charles, Louisiana) Partnership, the US Chemical Safety Board case studies, and the Btmcefield Investigation reports. There was also some excellent additions of material from the Beacon - a monthly feature of the Center for Chemical Process Safety. 

The USEPA s partners in conducting the prospective case studies are Chesapeake Energy Corporation in DeSoto Parish, Louisiana, and Range Resources Corporation in Washington County, Pennsylvania. The USEPA will release initial study results in a 2012 report and an additional report at... 

Consider the following case study which is an adapted version of the one introduced by You and Grossmann (2008). This case study was motivated by a real-world application concerning a polystyrene SC design. The polystyrene production process is shown in Fig. 5.8. Styrene monomers are produced from ethylene and benzene, then styrene is processed to obtain flve final products three different types of solid polystyrene (SPS) and two types of expandable polystyrene (EPS). Potential benzene suppliers are located in Texas (TX), Louisiana (LA), and Alabama (AL), while... 

This chapter presents the results of a number of selected studies of elements in various fish and seafood in the Louisiana coastal region. Some results from nearby areas, particularly in the Gulf region and Mississippi delta region, are presented for completeness and comparison. In some cases the studies were performed for toxicological purposes and the prediction of metal concentrations. Some studies also involved organic chemicals and these are included for completeness. 

Table VII summarizes chromatographic separations of the pretreated, weathered, and biodegraded South Louisiana crude. Pretreatment (flowing N2 at 70°C for 24 hr) simply removes the volatile components (up to and comparable to Ci2 saturates) it is a necessary step in the analysis it simulates, to a degree, the natural volatilization that takes place in exposed crude oils and it establishes a baseline against which weathering and biodegradation can be measured. The amount of the virgin crude volatilized under these conditions varies, depending on the nature of the crude (38% loss in this case). The nonvolatile components (residue) are the components of interest in the study of structural changes attributable to factors other than volatility.

A case-control study in New Jersey identified an increased risk of primary liver cancer in male woikers categorized as craftsman or operators in laundry or dry cleaning operations (Stemhagen et al. 1983). The specific solvents to which the woikers were exposed and exposure levels were not identified. The study controlled for alcohol consumption and smoking. A case control study of astrocytic brain cancer among white males in Louisiana, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania showed a trend for increased brain tumors with high tetrachloroethylene exposure (Heineman et al. 1994). This result was based on only three cases and is limited in that exposure information was not available. This study may also be confounded by exposure to methylene chloride. The study authors concluded that the association between tetrachloroethylene and brain cancer requires further study.
