Design nd Operation. The destruction efficiency of a catalytic oxidation system is determined by the system design. It is impossible to predict a priori the temperature and residence time needed to obtain a given level of conversion of a mixture in a catalytic oxidation system. Control efficiency is determined by process characteristics such as concentration of VOCs emitted, flow rate, process fluctuations that may occur in flow rate, temperature, concentrations of other materials in the process stream, and the governing permit regulation, such as the mass-emission limit. Design and operational characteristics that can affect the destmction efficiency include inlet temperature to the catalyst bed, volume of catalyst, and quantity and type of noble metal or metal oxide used. 

Regulatory control is governmental imposition of limits on emission from sources. In addition to quantitative limits on emissions from chimneys, vents, and stacks, regulations may limit the quantity or quality of fuel or raw material permitted to be used the design or size of the equipment or process in which it may be used the height of chimneys, vents, or stacks the location of sites from which emissions are or are not permitted or the times when emissions are or are not permitted. Regulations usually also specify acceptable methods of test or measurement. 

The uptake of oleate by pre-added vesicles, and in particular the matrix effect, permits regulation of the growth of the size and the number of particles, and in this way it is possible to tackle a series of novel questions. One such question is is there a difference in the rate of uptake of fresh surfactant between two vesicle populations of different sizes ... 

The Annex of the Council Directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States on extraction solvents used in the production of foodstuffs and food ingredients (88/344/EEC, dated 13 June 1988 as amended (annex I)), is divided into Parts 1, II, and III (below) and lists extraction solvents which may be used during the processing of raw materials of foodstuffs, of food components or of food ingredients. Additionally usage of water (e.g. demineralised water, distilled water, potable water) is also permitted. Regulations and permitted extraction solvents, such as n-octyl alcohol and trichloroethylene, are different in the USA and relevant legislation should be consulted. 

Electrolysis circuit In a three-electrode arrangement, a dc source and a voltage divider to permit regulation of the potential between the working electrode and the counter electrode. 

Prosecutions fines in 1998 there were no fines or prosecutions, but there were eight claims pending, and there were infringements of permit regulations at 11 plants. The nature of the incidents is reported. FIM 15 million was spent in cleaning up spills, and FIM 3 million was provided for future damage from them. Other environmental liabilities are described. 

Violations of Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMRs) and Safety Permitting Regulations in Part 385, Subpart E All knowing violations of 49 U.S.C. chapter 51 or orders or regulations issued under the authority of that chapter applicable to the transport or shipment of hazardous materials by CMV on highways. 250 up to 50,000 for each violation. Each day of a continuing violation constitutes a separate offense. ... 

Disposal of arsine by neutralizing, scrubbing, incineration, or by other means may be subject to permitting by federal, state or provincial regulations. Persons involved with disposal of arsine should check with the environmental authorities having Jurisdiction to determine the applicability of permitting regulations to disposal activities.
