In some parts of the United States special precautions may be necessary the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts are noted for hurricanes the plains states have tornadoes and the highest probability of earthquakes occurs in California and Alaska. Care must also be taken when locating near a river to be certain that flooding, which is always a possibility, will not harm the plant. See references 12 and 15 for detailed climatic information. 

For the Equipment Safety Subindex the process plant area is divided into two different areas, which have different safety properties. The onsite area is the area where the raw materials are converted into the products. This is referred as the inside battery limits area (ISBL). This area is characterized by large number of equipment and piping located in a concentrated way in a small area. The rest of the plant is referred as the offsite or outside battery limits area (OSBL). The offsite area is characterized by large inventories of fluids, which are often flammable and/or toxic. The number of equipment in OSBL area is smaller but their size larger than in the ISBL area. The layout is much more scattered in OSBL than in ISBL which is to enhance safety. 

The complete master documentation file not only provides appropriate rationale for the product, process, and testing, but also becomes the reference source for all questions relating to the manufacture of a product at any plant location. This master documentation file, however, should not be confused with the concept of the master product document, which is essential for routine manufacturing of the product and is described later in the chapter. The master docu-... 

The following investigation has also been conducted to detect the influence of a regular emitter on the area under investigation. A representative reference dust sample was taken in the stack of a big industrial heating plant, located in the heavily loaded area C (see Fig. 7-7). The dust sample was analyzed in a manner analogous with the sedimented airborne particulates. The obtained data vector was added as a test data set to the above described classification model. The emitted dust from the stack showed the high-... 

Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-d1oxin (TCDD). At the detection limit of ten parts per trillion, no TCDD was found in the effluents from the combustion of coal in three different boilers at the Ames power plant (see summary table in reference 16 for description of boilers). This observation was confirmed at a second smaller coal-fired power plant located at Iowa State University. Even when the coal fuel was supplemented with RDF, which should contain the precursor compounds, no dioxins were observed in the vapor and particle samples taken from the effluents. Thus no de novo synthesis occurred during the combustion of coal alone and if dioxins were formed from precursor compounds in the co-combustion of coal and RDF, they were destroyed in the efficient combustion as explained above for the thermal destruction of the PCBs present in the RDF. 

Designed by the DOE, such a design was implemented at Daggett, California, and named Solar One. In 1995 this plant was converted and expanded to a total area of 82,750 m2, and is referred to as Solar Two. A 10-mW central receiver-type generating plant located at Daggett, California is shown in Figure 1.32. 

Coal Tar Products. Elevated red and white cell counts in urine were noted in 6-8% (29-34 of 452) of the employees examined in an industrial health survey in nine coal tar plants in which coal tar creosote and coal tar were the main treatments used (TOMA 1981). Some of these cell count elevations were attributed to urinary tract infections resulting from inadequate personal hygiene, and not to industrial exposure to toxic chemicals. However, some of the workers with elevated red and white cell counts in urine had cellular and granular casts and traces of protein, suggesting abnormal renal function. These individuals were referred to their physicians for diagnosis. No determination of exposure was made at the nine coal tar plants (TOMA 1981). Moreover, no clear relationship could be established because exposure routes in addition to inhalation (e.g., oral and dermal) were likely. Also, the ability to relate renal effects to coal tar creosote and coal tar exposure was further confounded by the possibility that the subjects were also exposed to other chemicals and cigarette smoke. Additional limitations of the study included seasonal and geographical variation in plant locations, past employment history, voluntary participation in the study that could have biased it in favor of healthy workers, lack of statistical analyses, lack of adequate controls, and use of only current employees.

Chemical recuperation of high-temperature heat is an alternative to raising steam [427]. In ammonia plants the steam is used to drive the S5mgas compressor (refer to Section 2.5), but as discussed for hydrogen plants (refer to Section 2.2) and GTL plants at remote locations (refer to Section 2.6.5) there may be no need for the steam, and recuperation of the heat of the hot process gas in a heat exchange reformer may be an option (as illustrated in Figure 2.35 and Figure 2.36). 

In this chapter, we will address the plant location problem, that is, where to place a chemical facility considering cost and demand data. This problem is quite common in chemical engineering and lies in the interface between chemical engineering itself and operations research. We will provide a basic general formulation and then give some additional references to other similar models.

In some cases, companies want to design supply chain networks in which a market is supplied from only one factory, referred to as a single source. Companies may impose this constraint because it lowers the complexity of coordinating the network and requires less flexibility from each facility. The plant location model discussed earlier needs some modification to accommodate this constraint. The decision variables are redefined as follows ... 

The Three Mile Island incident—usually referred to by its initials of TMI—occurred at a nuclear power plant located near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in the year 1979. The island on which the facility is located gets its name from the fact that it is 3 miles long. 

Succession of flora and fauna refers to the deposition of sedimentary material, which will include the remains of plant and animal life that existed at the time of the deposition of these rock particles. The fossils of these plants and animals will be found in the rock formations that result from the deposition. The presence, absence, or change of the plant and animal life within a sequence of the geologic column provide important information that allows for the correlation of rock formations (and, thereby, relative time) from location to location. Also, the fossil records within sequences give important information regarding the evolution of life through geologic time. 

To transmit and control power through pressurized fluids, an arrangement of interconnected components is required. Such an arrangement is commonly referred to as a system. The number and arrangement of the components vary from system to system, depending on the particular application. In many applications, one main system supplies power to several subsystems, which are sometimes referred to as circuits. The complete system may be a small, compact unit or a large, complex system that has components located at widely separated points within the plant. The basic components of a hydraulic system are essentially the same regardless of the complexity of the system. Seven basic components must be in a hydraulic system. These basic components are ... 

In designing the asset register format for the specific location items such as manufacturer/supplier, purchase price and date, order no., cost code, function, parts/spares, guidance note reference and insurance inspections should be catered for. While carrying out the survey for the asset register, all the information found on plant and equipment nameplates should be recorded as, during their life, these tend to be lost or painted over.
