Refuse handling

PTGL-technology can only be succesful if practical solutions are found for problems such as refuse handling and feeding, maintenance of stable operating conditions with a constantly variable feedstock, smooth elimination of residue and proper treatment of reaction products. Quite normally process developers center all their energy on the design,construction and demonstration of their plant and equipment. 

Many pieces of equipment are made up of unitized components from several different vendors. The traditional attitude has been to look to the packaging vendor as the source of supply. Many vendors refuse to handle requests for replacement parts on equipment not directly manufactured by them. More and more specialty companies are entering the equipment parts business some are supplying parts directly to OEM companies for resale as their own brand. Others supply parts directly to the end user. The end user must develop multiple sources of supply for as many parts as possible. 

L D. The principle of justice is a relevant consideration when subjects are selected for clinical research. It requires that members of a vulnerable population, such as institutionalized patients with mental retardation, not be exploited. The principle of autonomy would be most relevant to the parents ability to consent or refuse on the child s behalf, something Dr. Martin thinks is handled satisfactorily. Dr. Martin believes risks have been minimized and the overall study drug is likely to help the participants, so the study has satisfied the principles of nonmaleficence and beneficence. The principle of medical priority is not mentioned in the chapter and pertains to treating the most medically needy patients first, which is not at issue here. 

Anorectic adolescents have a peculiar way of handling food. They will hide carbohydrate-rich foods, such as candies and cookies in secretive places. They hoard large quantities of candies and carry them in their pockets and purses. If forced to eat in public, they will often try to dispose of their food surreptitiously to avoid eating. They will spend a great deal of time cutting food into small pieces and rearranging the food on their plate. If confronted about their peculiar behavior, they will flatly deny it or refuse to discuss it. 

When asked to abide by the rules, vulgar language was used. It was decided that in the future, lifeguards should call the pool manager to handle these situations. Anyone refusing to listen to the pool manager will be asked to leave the pool. 

Now I try to handle things as they hit my in-basket. If they re little, I just do them if they re big, I file them and list them with Mr. To Do. There is some judgment required here, but I find when I refuse to let regular little stuff pile up, I keep a clearer calendar for the big things that need my attention. I should also confess that I can t quite live up to the example set by Dr. Sam, and from time to time I do get backed up with little things I should have handled quickly. Nonetheless, I know what I should do, and I try to keep clutter out of my basket and keep work flowing out the door. 

High-level waste reprocessing is the most hazardous operation in the nuclear industry. It is there that the largest quantities of fissionable and radioactive nuclides are handled in aqueous solution. These large-scale operations require both remote control and remote maintenance of the plant to protect the workers from radiation. In addition, the air and water effluents along with the solid refuse must be closely monitored to assure that the public is protected. Finally, the fissionable material requires strict accountability to ensure that it is not diverted to unauthorized uses. 

Solid wastes represent the ultimate in mill residues and include the accumulated refuse of the mill and the sludges from primary and secondary effluent treatment. There is difficulty in removing water from the secondary sludge the primary and secondary sludges often are mixed to aid in water removal, which is important if the sludge is to be incinerated for disposal. The sludges from pulp and paper mills are handled mostly as landfill, and sometimes, if not toxic, they are spread for agricultural purposes.
