Marine bulk

Unless mentioned otherwise, e.g., marine bulk, tank storage terminals, the chemical industry considers that all aspects of the service provided by a logistics service provider should undergo a full SQAS assessment every three years. It is left to the discretion of the logistics service provider to arrange for intermediate follow-up assessments, e.g., in accordance with ISO 9000 procedures. 

To establish an inspection system that provides inspection data on bulk storage terminals to participating chemical companies. Unlike the CDI scheme for marine bulk vessels, this information, accessible to chemical companies participating in CDI-T only, is not presently accessible electronically in view of the limited number of chemical bulk storage terminals in Europe. 

In fire-tube furnaces developed in the nineteenth century, such as typified by the Scotch-Marine boiler (Fig. 1), thin currents of water contact a multiplicity of tubes thus, the hot gases transmit heat simultaneously to aH regions of the bulk of the water. Therefore, this boHet—furnace combination steams readily and responds promptly to load changes, and is, for a given amount of heating surface, the least expensive of aH furnace—boHet instaHations... 

Flame Resistance. Traditionally, small-scale laboratory flammabiUty tests have been used to initially characterize foams (38). However, these do not reflect the performance of such materials in bulk form. Fire characteristics of thermal insulations for building appHcations are generally reported in the form of quaHtative or semiquantitative results from ASTM E84 or similar tunnel tests (39). Similar larger scale tests are used for aircraft and marine appHcations. 

By the end ofWorld War II the use of residual fuel oil in the United States had reached about 1.2 million barrels per day. The bulk of this use was in industri-al/commercial boilers, railroad locomotives, and steamships. Shortly thereafter, railroad use declined rapidly as diesel engines, which used distillate fuel, replaced steam locomotives. In the 19.30s and 1960s residual fuel oil use for marine and industrial applications, as well as for electric power generation, con-... 

The major source of plutonium in natural waters is the atmospheric fallout from nuclear weapons tests. Fallout plutonium is ubiquitous in marine and freshwater environments of the world with higher concentrations in the northern hemisphere where the bulk of nuclear weapons testing occurred(3). Much of the research on the aquatic chemistry of plutonium takes place in marine and freshwater systems where only fallout is present. 

A specific case of mobile sources, where nearly the same conventional system used for stationary sources (SCR-NH3) can be applied, regards the reduction of NO in the exhaust gas from marine engines and gas turbines. The first marine installation was in 1989 on a 37 000tdw deep-sea bulk carrier [61]. Many more installations exist today, but this still remains a niche application.

It is known that calcites formed 1n the presence of Mg + ions turn out to be magnesian calcites with 0.70 < x < 1 (1, 6 ). The calcites may be bulk precipitates as, for example, in marine cements or, in the case of seeded runs, may form coatings of a different composition from that of the bulk phase. Under special circumstances dolomite may result [ ). 

In coastal areas, measurements of 513C in bulk organic matter can help identify the origins of organic material in sediments. In general, material produced using the dominant C3 photosynthetic pathway has a value of 513C around -27 %o for terrestrial matter and around -20 %o for marine matter (Deines, 1980). The interpretation of such results is complicated because some plants use the C4 photosynthetic pathway, which...
