Regulation Governance

If regulations governing specific emission limit VOC concentrations to the low ppm range then, of course, vapor fractions such as those illustrated by the above tabulation will not be acceptable. It may, however, still be justified to consider VOC condensation as a precursor to a final abatement device such as an adsorption bed. Removing most of the solvent from a vent stream by condensation, can drastically reduce the size and cost of a downstream cleanup system. 

Handling of Amines. Regulations governing the safe handling and shipping of amines in interstate commerce are given in U.S. Department of Transportation pubHcations (71). Specific information on the safe handling and hazards associated with a particular amine can be found in the Material Safety Data Sheet for that material. For further information on the safety of industrial material see also references 72 and 73.

Other factors which have a significant influence on process selection iaclude absolute quantity of sulfur present, concentration of various sulfur species, the quantity and concentration of other components ia the stream to be treated, quantity and conditions (temperature and pressure) of the stream to be treated, and, the location-specific environmental regulations governing overall sulfur recovery and allowable sulfur dioxide emissions (3). 

Poly(vinyl alcohol) is an innocuous material having unlimited storage stabiUty. It is most commonly suppHed in 20-kg, 22.7-kg (50-lb), and 25-kg bags equipped with a moisture barrier to prevent caking. PVA is also available in bulk or in super sacks. The FDA regulations governing the use of PVA are shown in Table 8. Poly(vinyl alcohol) maintains an exemption for tolerance from the EPA. 

Procedures for shipping boric acid esters depend on the particular compound. Aryl borates produce phenols when in contact with water and are therefore subject to shipping regulations governing such materials and must carry a Corrosive Chemical label. Lower alkyl borates are flammable, flash points of methyl, ethyl, and butyl borates are 0, 32, and 94°C, respectively, and must be stored in approved areas. Other compounds are not hazardous, and may be shipped or stored in any convenient manner. Because borate esters are susceptible to hydrolysis, the more sensitive compounds should be stored and transferred in an inert atmosphere, such as nitrogen.

Silver-brazed joints are used when temperature or the combination of temperature and pressure is beyond the range of soldered joints. They are also more reliable in the event of plant fires and are more resistant to vibration. If they are used for fluids that are flammable, toxic, or damaging to human tissue, appropriate safeguarding is required by the code. There are OSHA regulations governing the use of silver brazing alloys containing cadmium and other toxic materials. 

Because of the ever-growing number of federal regulations governing the disposal of nonhazardous and hazardous solid wastes, it is prudent to develop both short-term and long-term action programs to deal with all aspects of solid-waste management. Important short- and long-term actions are identified in Table 25-77. 

There are many regulations governing the transportation of chemicals, and any evaluation of transportation risks and options must include consideration of those regulations. In addition, some companies have policies that require going beyond legal requirements for specific materials.

Regulation governing process safety varies dramatically outside the United States. Several European countries have strong requirements calling for safety analysis of new projects, while other countries have no process safety regulation at all.

CAUTION NOTE Hydrazine is toxic, and suitable precautions for its handling should be observed. Its use is usually prohibited in hospitals, the food manufacturing industry, and where steam may come into contact with food or beverages. The use of sodium sulfite may also be unacceptable in some of these applications. The existence of any regulations governing the use of either should be ascertained and observed. 

The relevant regulations governing the conduct of clinical trials in the U S are shown in Table 5.4. As they also reflect the principles of GCP, they are quite similar in requirements to those of the E U. However, because they apply to a single jurisdiction, they are framed to provide more prescriptive detail than can be found in the equivalent EU directives. Similarly, they are supported by the ICH- and FDA-specific guidelines. As most of the practices are the same as discussed in the previous section, the chapter will now just examine some of the aspects that are unique to the US regulations.
