It will be necessary to forecast the amount of traffic to be generated by the development within the site and to propose a form of junction that not only deals with the site s traffic but also adequately caters for the existing traffic on the road. Tests for capacity are required and attention should also be given to the safety of operation of the proposed access. 

The safety of operators, the rigging of life-lines for scaffolding, and the proper removal of dust and solvent vapours should be discussed with the management. 

Eor ease, economy, and safety of operation, and to assist the maintenance function, other system controls and components will be fitted. 

Secondary structure A structure that is not critical to the survival of the primary structure. Examples are in aircraft and aerospace vehicles that are not critical to safety of operations such as the interior decorative paneling. See Primary structure. 

AS of this writing, 100% inspection by NAA of small arms primers in an actual production loading plant has not been implemented, nor is it contemplated in the near future. Technical problems exist related to coupling the present state-of-the-art nuclear components with the high production rates for the primers, namely, tens of units per sec per automatic loading line. The high intensity of the neutron source and the complexity of the detection system required detracts from the utility of the method in a plant environment where simplicity and safety of operation are of paramount importance. Nevertheless, the technical feasibility of the method has been demonstrated by the AMMRC study and future developments in nuclear activation hardware may ultimately make this non-destructive inspection for production primers more viable... 

Membranes in catalysis can be used to improve selectivity and conversion of a chemical reaction, improve stability and lifetime of the catalyst, and improve the safety of operation. The most well-known example is in situ removal of products of an equilibrium-limited reaction. However, many more ways of application of a membrane can be thought of [1-3], such as using the membrane as a reactant distributor to control the reactant concentration levels in the reactor, or performing catalysis inside the membrane and having control over reactant feed and product removal. 

We close discussion of the GS process with the comment that it is dangerous. A GS plant requires a very large inventory of highly toxic H2S employed at elevated temperature and pressure in a corrosive environment. The safety of operating personnel and of the population in the area surrounding the plant is a major concern.

Several patents were issued on this topic. For example, Rueter [34] in his patent cited about 120 US patents and about 40 foreign patents in the period 1987-2004. The actual number of patents is higher, but already these numbers indicate that many aspects of catalyst and process technology are covered. Patents in the last five years (2003-2008) were thus focused either on the improvement of catalyst preparation and/or improvement of reaction/reactor operations, particularly with strong attention on the safety of operations. However, often in the cited patents operations are still... 

PAC is done is much more complex, and is difficult to generalize. Many of those who work in this field continually discover new ways to glean information that allows for optimization of processing parameters and better control of the process. Better control is the prime goal as it will improve product quality, result in less waste, increase the safety of operations, and thus increase profitability. 

A new chemical process may involve the production of innovative chemicals, the exploitation of a new raw material, or the revamping of an established process. Irrespective of those details, the process development is usually initiated with the assessment of a new chemical route from raw materials to products, a task which requires a sound chemical skill for the understanding of the reaction mechanism, and is concluded with the assessment of the operating protocols of the industrial plant, a task which requires a sound engineering skill for obtaining a satisfactory performance of the plant, in terms of safety of operations, quality of products, and productivity. 

A number of issues need to be resolved when dealing with batch reactors in industrial applications, ranging from design and planning of the plant to scheduling, optimization, and performance achievement of batch operations. Performance is usually specified in terms of productivity of the plant, safety of operations, and quality of final products. In order to meet such requirements, several problems need to be addressed ... 

To conclude, it is clearly evident that none of the mass deacidification processes just discussed meet the "ideal" criteria set forth in Table I. Without consideration of cost effectiveness and safety of operation, the Library of Congress DEZ process seems to be the winner. However, as a mass deacidification process the Koppers "Book Keeping" process may have more potential due to its straightforward and danger-free operation. 

In addition to the deacidification chemistry, the final decision should also be based on the evaluation of the engineering design, safety of operation and cost factors which have not been considered in this paper. 

Silicone rubbers bum if the temperature of the flames exceeds 600-700 °C. However, their combustion does not release toxic products, and there is an isolating layer of carbon dioxide on the product. If this rubber is sealed in a glass or asbestos shell, the cable can endure operating voltage and ensure normal functioning of the electric circuit even in a fire. These properties help to reduce the requirement for wires and cables in most cases by 20% and noticeably increase the safety of operation in case of overloads and fires. 

The voltage repartition on the cells must be equalized to maintain the safety of operation. This function has an energy consumption which must be considered in the storage sizing.

In all industrial processes, the safety of operators and staff, as well as the general public in surrounding areas, is of paramount importance. Every effort should be made during design and construction to ensure that the bioseparation plant is safe to operate with all risks identified and minimized through appropriate precautions.

The ENTAM network is a unique experience that leads to overcoming most of the existing barriers among European testing stations. A European network working for the European agriculture makes the combination of machine, farmer and chemical a unique dynamic system with a clear formulation and interpretation of standards. Standards are the basic rules for a free and independent market that guarantees the quality of products and the safety of operators and consumers. 

The comparison of the AOPs technologies is often made only in terms of efficiency in the removal of pollutants, but a more correct analysis should takes into account several parameters (i) safety of operations, (ii) manageability and applicability to the specific operations (for example, when small volume effluents dispersed over a wide territory, it may be preferable to transport the water treatment unit instead rather than to collect all wastewater in a single central treatment unit), (iii) technical effectiveness using real streams, (iv) absence of necessity of post-treatments (to eliminate some residual compounds, even in traces, or metal ions), (v) secondary pollution prevention, (vi) minimal toxicity of... 

In view of the catastrophic effects and the increasingly severe legal and economic implications of a disastrous explosion, a large amount of effort is devoted to the safety of operations, while keeping control costs at an acceptable level. This work has been given increased impetus in the United States by the military plant modernization now underway and the development of a variety of new or improved processes for making explosives.
