Route location

Haul distance Although minimum haul distances are desirable, other factors must also he considered. These include collection-route location, types of wastes to he hauled, local traffic patterns, and characteristics of the routes to and from the disposal site (condition of the routes, traffic patterns, and access conditions). 

Hold a briefing for entry personnel and support crew. Ensure that all staff on scene understand emergency signals, preplanned escape routes, locations of Hot/Warm/ Cold zones, operational hazards at this site, the evacuation system, the buddy system, the need for appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) the potential need to decontaminate rescuers and their equipment, and contaminated persons location of rehabilitation area, possible air space closure over incident site, etc. 

Since large volumes are needed to economically justify North Sea systems, pipe diameters will be large, probably 30"-36", or bigger if the pipe can be physically laid. Vail thickness will be the heaviest that can be laid, which for 36" pipe may currently be 1" wall thickness. Compressor station spacing and compression ratio will be different from onshore systems due to the high coat of providing a separate pipeline compressor platform, and because the pipeline systems will In most cases have to pick up gas from various fieldsalong the route located at fixed points, and these points will tend to dictate the location of pipeline compressor stations. 

Where are the exits and escape routes located Are they clearly marked in all appropriate languages In the event that a mass gathering should decompensate into a MCI, every health care provider must be aware of the entire site layout, location of all escape routes, and how to activate the emergency operations plan (see chapter 1). 

While most chemical facilities have an emergency plan, it may not be as detailed as required for the PSM rule and it may not have addressal of the response and recovery stages of an emergency. The plan is required to include types of accidents considered, emergency procedures and responsibilities, escape routes, locations for safe zones (assembly points), types of alarms, actions before evacuation, personnel accounting, rescue and medical responsibilities, reporting, local coordination, and the procedures for handling small releases of hazardous material.

When planning a direct buried cable route, locate and avoid existing utilities. 

Alternative escape routes are escape routes located so that should a fire occur in any part of the building it will not affect both routes at the same time. 

A site survey will be carried out, from which a number of parameters can be established, e.g. carrying capacity of the soil at the planned location, possible access routes, surface restrictions like built-up areas, lakes, nature reserves, the general topography, possible water supplies. The survey will allow the adequate preparation of the future location. For instance, onshore in a swamp area the soil needs to be covered with support mats. 

The principal route for production of isoprene monomer outside of the CIS is recovery from ethylene by-product C streams. This route is most viable where ethylene is produced from naphtha or gas oil and where several ethylene plants are located in relatively close proximity to the isoprene plant. Although the yield of isoprene per mass of ethylene is quite low, there is enough ethylene produced to provide a large portion of demand. Because of the presence of / -pentane in these streams which a2eotropes with isoprene, extractive distillation must be used to recover pure isoprene. Acetonitrile is the most common solvent, but dimethylformamide is also used commercially.

Comparison of these environmental compartment concentrations with the actual measurements made at a variety of locations show reasonable agreement but indicate that emission estimates are rather high. It is likely that the fault Hes with worst case estimates for losses from outdoor appHcations and the washing of PVC flooring. In addition a large proportion of the phthalates lost by these routes will not enter rivers because they will be removed by wastewater treatment plants. 

Dehydration. Use of molecular sieve driers for final clean-up of the carbon oxides and water in the synthesis gas to less than 1 ppm levels has gained prominence in low energy ammonia plant designs. The sieves are usually located at the interstage of the synthesis gas compressor to reduce volume requirements. The purified make-up gas can then be combined with the recycle and routed direcdy to the converter. 

The earliest method for manufacturiag carbon disulfide involved synthesis from the elements by reaction of sulfur and carbon as hardwood charcoal in externally heated retorts. Safety concerns, short Hves of the retorts, and low production capacities led to the development of an electric furnace process, also based on reaction of sulfur and charcoal. The commercial use of hydrocarbons as the source of carbon was developed in the 1950s, and it was still the predominate process worldwide in 1991. That route, using methane and sulfur as the feedstock, provides high capacity in an economical, continuous unit. Retort and electric furnace processes are stiU used in locations where methane is unavailable or where small plants are economically viable, for example in certain parts of Africa, China, India, Russia, Eastern Europe, South America, and the Middle East. Other technologies for synthesis of carbon disulfide have been advocated, but none has reached commercial significance. 

These reactions can provide convenient routes to isoxazoles in which the substituents are unequivocally located in the nucleus. They are subdivided into (i) (CCNO + C) and (ii) (CCCO + N) combinations. 

As with [4+1] routes, the substituents in the resultant isoxazole system are unequivocally located. 

Multireactor Knockout Drum/Catch Tank This interesting system, depic ted in Fig. 26-22, is sometimes used as the containment vessel for a series of closely spaced reac tors (Speechly et al., Trinci-ples of Total Containment System Design, presented at I. Chem. E Noith West Branch Meeting, 1979). By locating the drum as shown in Fig. 26-22, minimum-length vent lines can be routed direc tly to the vessel without any bends. 

Logistics—If a company is geographically located such that it can not meet the desired service level and deliveiy requirements of its customers, tolling may provide a local production and distribution site. Shorter transportation routes for hazardous chemicals or wastes may also be a consideration. 

These ac current loops should be routed before any other traces in the power supply. The three major components that make up each loop the filter capacitor, the power switch or rectifier, and the inductor or transformer must be located adjacent to one another. The components must also be oriented such that the current path between them is as short as possible. A good example of a layout of the power section of a buck (or step-down) converter can be seen in Figure 3-60. 

Routing of Flare Header through Process Areas - Flare headers in process areas should be routed to avoid locations of particularly high fire risk, such as over pumps, near furnaces, etc. The headers and subheaders should also be laid out and provided with isolating CSO valves and spectacle blinds, unless prohibited by local codes, such that it is not necessary for flare lines to remain in service in units which are shut down separately. Blowdown and water disengaging drums should be spaced from process areas. 

Usually, the closed liquid drain header is run as a separate line to the drum and provided with a high level cut-off valve with local manual reset. In some cases the closed drain system is segregated into a number of subheaders, as described earlier. Hydrocarbon liquids may be bypassed around the drum through a connection from the closed drain header directly to the pumpout pump suction, provided that the liquid can be routed to a safe disposal location, considering its vapor pressure and temperature. Emergency liquid pulldown connections, if provided, are routed to the blowdown drum via the closed drain header.
