Well purging

Although the first two techniques have the same basic steps (the well is purged, stabilized, and samples are collected), we implement them using different tools and procedures. Common to these techniques are the measurements of well stabilization parameters, which allow us to judge whether the water in a purged well represents the formation water.

Based on dryer cost alone, indirect-heat dryers are more expensive to build and install than direct-heat dryers designed for the same duty. As environmental concerns and resulting restrictions on process emissions increase, however, indirect-heat dryers are more attractive because they employ purge gas only to remove vapor and not to transport heat as well. Dust and vapor recovery systems for indirect-heat dryers are smaller and less cosdy to supply heat for drying, gas throughput in direct-heat dryers is 3—10 kg/kg of water evaporated indirect-heat dryers require only 1—1.5 kg/kg of vapor removed. System costs vary directly with size, so whereas more money may be spent for the dryer, much more is saved in recovery costs. Wet scmbbers ate employed for dust recovery on indirect-heat dryers because dryer exit gas usually is close to saturation. Where dry systems are employed, all external surfaces must be insulated and traced to prevent vapor condensation inside. 

The example vehicle has been run through the test sequence using a two liter carbon canister and a 150 BV purge level. Fig. 22 presents the results for both a return and retum-less fuel system used in the vehicle. As shown, the fuel vapor temperature and the amount of fuel vapor generated are both lower for the retum-less system. This reduces the amount of HC adsorption required in the carbon canister, and it also reduces the amount of HC emissions in the test sequence, fhe return fuel system used with the stated purge volume and canister size emits an unacceptable level of HC during one of the diurnal sequences (2.12 grams), while the retum-less system emission values are well below the acceptable level. 

The amount of process plant that can be defined accurately as automatic is relatively small, and manual intervention is often involved at some stage. The relevant design criteria are therefore often IM/12 or IM/18. In practice, fully automatic burner controllers tested and certified by British Gas are available that comply with the requirements of BS 5885. Although these have features which may not be applicable to non-automatic plant, it may be more appropriate to use such a controller, particularly as its safety is well proven. It may also be less expensive than buying and installing separate timers, relays, etc. For some processes (for example, those that do not need and cannot tolerate a long purge) such controllers may not be appropriate. 

Once the unit is running well, it is often assumed that the aeration system is sized properly, but changes in the catalyst physical properties and/or catalyst circulation rate may require a different purge rate. It should be noted that aeration rate is directly proportional to catalyst circulation rate. Trends of the E-cat properties can indicate changes in the particle size distribution, which may require changes in the aeration rate. Restriction orifices could be oversized, undersized, or plugged with catalyst, resulting in over-aeration, under-aeration, or no aeration. All these phenomena cause low pressure buildup and low slide valve differential. 

While still slightly warm from the drying oven, the photolysis vessel with a water-jacketed quartz immersion well (Note 1) (section A of Figure 2) is charged with 500 ml. of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (Note 2) and 10 ml. (8.05 g., 0.122 mole) of cyclopentadiene (Note 3). The solution is cooled in an ice bath and purged with dry nitrogen for 2 minutes. Then the vessel is sealed, the lamp inserted, and the solution irradiated at 0° for 30 minutes. During this period, sections B and C...
