Receiving

Many considerations affect the safe handling of new or reconditioned containers, whether empty or full. When a container is loaded, many hazards are aggravated by the increased bulk or weight in addition, other hazards may be presented by the contents. This section assumes that containers are filled. 

In whatever form, the containers are probably received in a vehicle or similar mobile device. The following checklist addresses both the vehicle itself and the containers  

Make personnel aware of the hazards specific to the unloading process, such as  

Inspect containers (statistical survey) to ensure that purchase specifications are met, including  

Organize containers to minimize the possibility of using the wrong one. Ensure that forktruck drivers are aware of the possibility of puncturing containers with the lifting forks.

Fig. 6.7a. Above the pinch (in temperature terms), the process is in heat balance with the minimum hot utility Qnmin- Heat is received from hot utility, and no heat is rejected. The process acts as a heat sink. Below the pinch (in temperature terms), the process is in heat balance with the minimum cold utility Qcmin- No heat is received, but heat is rejected to cold utility. The process acts as a heat source.

This equation indicates that every molecule of urea requires 9/2 molecules of oxygen for complete oxidation. The oxygen required for the reactions depletes the receiving water of oxygen, causing the death of aquatic life. 

Tertiary treatment. Tertiary or polishing treatment prepares the aqueous waste for final discharge. The final quality of the effluent depends on the nature and flow of the receiving water. Table 11.3 gives an indication of the final quality required. ... 

Money to carry accounts receivable (i.e., credit extended to customers) less accounts payable (i.e., credit extended by suppliers)... 

Net present value (NPV). Since money can be invested to earn interest, money received now has a greater present value than money received at some time in the future. The net present value of a project is the sum of the present values of each individual cash flow. In this case, the present is taken to be the start of a project. 

The list of contributors is on page 6 and I am deeply indebted to them, for it is they who originally prepared MiaU s Dictionary of Chemistry from which this Dictionary has been compiled. Errors and omissions are my responsibility and 1 would appreciate receiving notice of them. 

The rapidity with which information is received one second instead of an average 10 minutes for dispersive spectrometry. 

The more-or-less pronounced interactions between the added component and the receiving system are identified, for example, as follows ... 

The potential advantages of LPG concern essentially the environmental aspects. LPG s are simple mixtures of 3- and 4-carbon-atom hydrocarbons with few contaminants (very low sulfur content). LPG s contain no noxious additives such as lead and their exhaust emissions have little or no toxicity because aromatics are absent. This type of fuel also benefits often enough from a lower taxation. In spite of that, the use of LPG motor fuel remains static in France, if not on a slightly downward trend. There are several reasons for this situation little interest from automobile manufacturers, reluctance on the part of automobile customers, competition in the refining industry for other uses of and fractions, (alkylation, etherification, direct addition into the gasoline pool). However, in 1993 this subject seems to have received more interest (Hublin et al., 1993). 

However, of all the petroleum products, jet fuel is the one receiving the most careful scrutiny. 

The sonic tool measures the time taken for a sound wave to pass through the formation. Sound waves travel in high density (i.e. low porosity) formation faster than in low density (high porosity) formation. The porosity can be determined by measuring the transit time for the sound wave to travel between a transmitter and receiver, provided the rock matrix and fluid are known. 

When a customer agrees to purchase gas, product quality is specified in terms of the calorific value of the gas, measured by the Wobbe index (calorific value divided by density), the hydrocarbon dew point and the water dew point, and the fraction of other gases such as Nj, COj, HjS. The Wobbe index specification ensures that the gas the customer receives has a predictable calorific value and hence predictable burning characteristics. If the gas becomes lean, less energy is released, and if the gas becomes too rich there is a risk that the gas burners flame out . Water and hydrocarbon dew points (the pressure and temperature at which liquids start to drop out of the gas) are specified to ensure that over the range of temperature and pressure at which the gas is handled by the customer, no liquids will drop out (these could cause possible corrosion and/or hydrate formation). 

The gas processing options described in the previous section were designed primarily to meet on-site usage or evacuation specifications. Before delivery to the customer further processing would normally be carried out at dedicated gas processing plants, which may receive gas from many different gas and oil fields. Gas piped to such plants is normally treated to prevent liquid drop out under pipeline conditions (dew point control) but may still contain considerable volumes of natural gas liquids (NGL) and also contaminants. 

Sensors on the tree allow the control module to transmit data such as tubing head pressure, tubing head temperature, annulus pressure and production choke setting. Data from the downhole gauge is also received by the control module. With current subsea systems more and more data is being recorded and transmitted to the host facility. This allows operations staff to continuously monitor the performance of the subsea system. 

Once production commences (possibly 3-8 years after the first capex) gross revenues are received from the sale of the hydrocarbons. These revenues are used to recover the capital expenditure (capex) of the project, to pay for the operating expenditure (opex) of the project (e.g. manpower, maintenance, equipment running costs, support costs), and to provide the host government take which may in the simplest case be in the form of taxes and royalty. 

For any one case, say the base case, the project cashflow is constructed by calculating on an annual basis the revenue items (the payments received by the project) and then subtracting the expenditure items (the payments made by the project capex, opex and host government take). For each year the balance is the annual cash surplus (or cash deficit). Flence, on an annual basis... 

The point at which the cumulative cash flow turns positive indicates the payout time (or payback time). This is the length of time required to receive accumulated net revenues equal to the investment. This indicator says nothing about the cash flow after the payback time and does not consider the total profitability of the investment opportunity. 

Monitoring the resenro/rpressure will also indicate whether the desired reservoir depletion policy is being achieved. For example, if the development plan was intended to maintain reservoir pressure at a chosen level by water injection, measurements of the pressure in key wells would show whether all areas are receiving the required pressure support. 

The intensity of the magnetic field produced by eddy current is depended on electrical conductivity and magnetic permeability of the studied area. In case of a uniform structure, when the conductivity of the material is high, the intensity of the induced magnetic field is big and signal received by probe Hp is small. 

Structure defects decrease conductivity of the studied material, and then the intensity of the induced magnetic field is small and the signal received by the probe Hp is big (Fig.2). Low conductivity of austenite is a defects of the structure in case of residual austenite in the martensite structure, which with regard to the magnesite structure is as 1 5. Eddy currents produced in the studied area are subject to excitation in effect of small conductivity of austenite grains in the structure of the studied material. 

The main goal of ultrasonic grain noise suppression in material flaw detection is to improve the perceptual possibilities of the operator to observe defect echoes. The suppression is defined as perceptually ideal when a received signal (or image) which contains echoes buried in noise is filtered to yield nonzero values only at the positions of the defect echoes. 

The ultrasonic testing of anisotropic austenitic steel welds is a commonly used method in nondestructive testing. Nevertheless, it is often a problem to analyze the received signals in a satisfactory way. Computer simulation of ultrasonics has turned out to be a very helpful tool to gather information and to improve the physical understanding of complicated wave phenomena inside the samples. 

Simulations of that kind result in a wide variety of A-scans and wavefront snapshots. The first screening of this material reveals, that the simulations in which the transducer is coupling partly to the V-butt weld and partly to the steel exhibit quite a number of pulses in the A-scans because the coupling at the interface of the weld results — due to the anisotropic behavior of the weld — in a complicated splitting of the transmitted wavefront. The different parts of the splitted wavefront are reflected and diffracted by the backwall, the interface, and — if present — by the notch and, therefore, many small signals are received by the transducer, which can only be separated and interpreted with great difficultie.s. 

Notch tip With perpendicular grain orientation no notch tips are detected. The snapshots (see Fig. 7 second and third snapshot from top on the right) show that in the direction to the receiver there is a gap in the reflected / diffracted quasi shear wavefront. In contrast, the notch tips can be detected within the herringbone structure.
