Present and future

The definition of emission legislation is a continuous process. At present, a variety of new steps are being taken worldwide to further improve the air quality. 

Thirdly, the procedures used to quantify the exhaust emissions are revised. For example, the European Union is studying the effect of the temperature at which the emission test is performed on the emission values obtained. Also, the vehicle driving procedure used in the emission test has been changed over the years. 

As a fourth step, discussion continues for the introduction of emission limits for other exhaust gas components, and for particulate matter of diesel powered vehicles. For example, there has been discussion in the USA and some European countries on separate - additional - emission limits for carbon dioxide, benzene and/or aldehydes. In the USA there is a project to consider an additional ozone-formation factor to be allocated to the tailpipe emission of passenger cars. This is because each exhaust gas component has a different potential to contribute to atmospheric ozone formation. This potential is quantified according to the theory of Carter by the maximum incremental reactivity (MIR) factor, expressed as grams of

The new marketplace of energy conversion will have many new and novel concepts in combined cycle power plants. Figure 1-1 shows the heat rates of these plants, present and future, and Figure 1-2 shows the efficiencies of the same plants. The plants referenced are the Simple Cycle Gas Turbine (SCGT) with firing temperatures of 2400 °F (1315 °C), Recuperative Gas Turbine (RGT), the Steam Turbine Plant (ST), the Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP), and the Advanced Combined Cycle Power Plants (ACCP) such as combined cycle power plants using Advanced Gas Turbine Cycles, and finally the ITybrid Power Plants (HPP).

Your process may produce wastes that cannot be treated on-site, and so must be transported off-site for treatment and disposal. Wastes of this type are usually non-aqueous liquids, sludge, or solids. Often, wastes for off-site disposal are costly to transport and to treat, and represent a third-party liability. Therefore, minimization of these wastes yields a direct cost benefit, both present and future. Measure the quantity and note the composition of any wastes associated with your process that need to be sent for off-site disposal. Record your results in a table or an appropriate spreadsheet. 

Any eontraetor being eonsidered for an award must have a history of performing work in a safe manner. The authors believe that if a eontraetor has performed work safely in the past, it is likely that the management of the eontraetor will believe in and praetiee safe work performanee as part of its present and future business philosophy.

Consider supplementing these relatively static media with in-person presentations—especially as you undertake facility-specific communications. In some companies, it may be feasible to develop a core presentation that a number of PSM advocates— the PSM team, for example—can use to provide an overview and introduction to the PSM system. This helps bring your company s PSM system out of the ivory tower (or research lab) and into the field in addition, it helps encourage dialogue with participants— present and future.

Continuing dependence on fossil fuels raises several major ethical issues. Ethical questions concerning our responsibilities to future generations arc raised by the fact that fossil fuels are a nonrenewable energy source, so that eveiy barrel of oil or ton of coal burned today is forever lost to future generations. Further, the by-products of fossil fuel combustion pose hazards to both present and future generations.

For some time worldwide a systematic and large expansion of vegetable oil production has been occurring, especially in southeastern Asia in 1990 the consumption of fats amounted to about 80 million tons. Eighty percent was used as food, 6% as feed, but 14%—more than 14 million metric tons—was used for industrial purposes. By the year 2000 the world fat production will have risen to over 100 million tons [3]. Also, in the future the oleo chemistry will have a broad and reliable raw materials basis. Tables 3 and 4 give information on the present and future production of important fats and fatty oils and the composition of the fatty acid mixtures that can be derived from these fats.
