Most contaminated carbon will not be analyzed for agent but will be fed through a carbon micronization system and furnace for disposal. However, inevitably, some carbon will be left at the end (e.g., the carbon in the filtration system for the plant ventilation air while the contaminated carbon is being burned). The residual carbon will have to be shipped off the island for disposal, somewhere in the continental United States. Although concentrations of agent on the contaminated carbon are expected to be low, analysis will be required by the receiving disposal facility. 

Xenon lamps do not generate ozone, and thus can be used in processes where the materials are sensitive to ozone. An additional advantage is that there is no need for plant ventilation systems for the removal of ozone. 

COMMINGLING OF PROCESS VENT GASES AND PLANT VENTILATION AIR... 

Ventilators transport gases in vessels of equal pressure and are used, for example, to circulate the air in drying plants. Ventilators can operate in axial or radial mode. 

Under the 10 and last Decommissioning Permit, the remaining auxiliary systems (sodium washing plant, ventilation plant, liquid effluent system, gaseous effluent system, etc.) are to be dismantled and any buildings remaining are to be decontaminated, measured for clearance, and then demolished, if necessary. Then the site is to be recultivated. 

In ISP smelters, the measurement of the effect of the worker s exposure to lead is by measurement of lead in blood. A typical level at which workers legally have to be transferred away from the exposure to lead has been 70 pg/100 ml blood. However, a number of ISP smelters have been successful in reducing the transfer level to 50 pg/100 ml of blood and below. This has been achieved by attention to many factors in addition to plant ventilation. 

One problem found across many industries and processes is the use of single-story facilities. As noted earlier, heat and smoke can move rapidly under the roof of a horizontal building. There are some techniques that can help confine fires in industrial plants. Ventilation is an important method. Roof vents allow hot gases to escape and do have some effect on confinement. 

Emission standards for SO2 vary widely, but a conunon concentration limit is 1.25 g of SO2 per Nm, which has to be met by sulfuric plant emissions. On this basis, sulfur emissions from the blast furnace commonly exceed normal standards by a substantial margin. This has indeed resulted in the closure of some European lead blast furnaces or the conversion to alternative technologies. The alternative is to scrub the gas after fume collection with a Ume slurry, which is capable of reducing the SO2 concentration to 0.01 per cent by volume or 0.3 g per Nm. Otherwise a combination of total plant ventilation gases from sinter plant and refining operations with blast furnaces gases may be able to meet overall emission concentration limits for sulfur, but at the expense of large gas volume movements per tonne of lead produced (at around 12 000 Nm /tonne of lead). 

A stack shall be used to provide an elevated release of the off-gas with a sufficient velocity (e.g. v > 12 m/s) for dispersing the off-gas. If a plant ventilation stack is available the off-gas discharge piping may be connected to the plant stack to provide a common release and monitoring point. The applicable air pollution control laws and regulations shall be observed for the stack design. 

The annual corrosion rate of steel has little or no bearing on paint selection the main concern is with the service life of the paint system in destructive exposure and a possible occurrence of rust-creep. Neither does it affect the selection of surface preparation nor the selection of a cathodic protection system. The ultimate paint system should be restricted, for economic reasons, to aggressive areas and less expensive systems used for less destructive exposure. In the economic evaluation of painting preservation the cost of materials is not indicative on its own - the cost of labour (approximately 80%), auxiliary provisions (scaffolding, plant, ventilation, drying, lighting, and cleaning), accommodation, and transport of personnel must be included.
