Shipping Section

The SPS pellets are sent to the pellet silo (V-800A,B) and are shipped by bulk. Some pellets are sent to the packing silo (V-810) and are packed (Z-810). SPS products in containers are sent to the warehouse. 

Some more details on useful analytical methods to control the SPS production process are given in Reference 16.

Gourlay extended the slender body theory of Tuck with the unsteady slender body theory. This improvement allows one to consider a ship moving in a non-uniform depth since the coordinate system is now earth-flxed, whereas it is ship-fixed for classic numerical methods. The ID system still uses vertical cross-sections and decomposition into an inner and outer expansion. The pressure integration is only made on the ship length based on the ship section B(x) at each x along the hull. Resolution of the ID equation is made with the finite difference method. Comparison with experimental results for soft squat situations h/T > 4) showed good agreement with numerical results. No tests were made for hard squat conditions (i.e., shallow depths) where flow around the ship is affected. 

The SPS process is divided into eight sections. They are monomer purification section, catalyst section, polymerization section, styrene removal from SPS, deactivation section, pelletizing section, blending section, and shipping section. Each section will be explained from the patent information. 

Figure 12.12 shows the flow diagram of the shipping section.

The paper consists of six sections. Section two elaborates on the aspects related to shipping in the NSR. Section three discusses the demand potential of transit shipping. Section four analyses the supply issues related to NSR shipping. In section five the NSR throughput capacity is computed through capacity modelling. Finally, section six discuss the results and conclusions.

Dialkylphenols are also produced in specialized plants. These plants combine complex batch reactors with vacuum distillation trains or other recovery systems. Alkenes with carbon numbers between 4 and 9 react with phenol to make an unrefined alkylphenol mixture, which is fed into the recovery section where very high purity product is isolated. The product is stored, handled, and shipped just as are the monoalkylphenols. 

The Code of federal Regulations (CFR) includes detailed rules for packaging and shipping H2SO4. Pertinent sections are 49 CFR 171.15—171.17, hazardous material incidents and discharges 49 CFR 172.101—172.102, hazardous material tables and the following references for specific materials ... 

Requirements for transport in ships or barges are outlined in Section 46 of the CFR. 

Package boilers can be shipped complete with fuel-burning equipment, controls, and boiler trim. It may be necessary to ship the larger units in sections, however, and a shop-assembled boiler with a capacity greater than about 109,000 kg/h (240,000 Ib/h) is deliverable only by barge. (For a more detailed discussion of shop-assembled boilers, see Singer, 1991, pp. 8.36-8.42.)... 

Galvanic anodes of cast iron were already in use in 1824 for protecting the copper cladding on wooden ships (see Section 1.3). Even today iron anodes are still used for objects with a relatively positive protection potential, especially if only a small reduction in potential is desired, e.g., by the presence of limiting values U" (see Section 2.4). In such cases, anodes of pure iron (Armco iron) are mostly used. The most important data are shown in Table 6-1. 

In spite of a low driving voltage of about 0.2 V, about 90% of all galvanic anodes for the external protection of seagoing ships are zinc anodes (see Section 17.3.2). Zinc alloys are the only anode materials permitted without restrictions for the internal protection of exchange tanks on tankers [16] (see Section 17.4). 

Finally there are large plate anodes up to 1 m square with cable connections as hangers. Such anodes serve to drain stray currents in ships in fitting out or repairs (see Section 15.6). 

The protection current equipment must be installed on the deck, so great lengths of cable with a corresponding cross-section are required. Only potential-controlling protection current equipment, as in the case of ships, should be employed since the necessary current densities are continually changing due to the changing heavy seas (Figs. 16-2 and 16-3). 

The protection of aluminum ships demands particular attention since electrical contact with steel and copper materials can seldom be avoided and a whole range of aluminum alloys are unsuitable for cathodic protection (see Section 2.4 and Fig. 2-11). Later protective measures must therefore be observed during the construction stage since even good coatings in combination with cathodic protection are frequently not adequate to protect gaps or openings. 

The protection current requirement for aluminum ships is considerably less because of the dense adherent oxide films. The necessary protection current requirement is being clarified in current investigations [24] but good results have been obtained by assuming a figure of 10% of that for steel. With aluminum there is only a very narrow permissible potential range [25] (see Section 2.4) so that impressed current protection cannot be used because of the anodic voltage cone and only selected anode materials can be considered. 

To measure the potential, reference electrodes are lowered on unbreakable ropes tensioned with 20 kg of lead as near as possible to the ship s side. IR errors can be neglected because of the good conductivity of seawater [see Eq. (2-34)]. In contrast to fresh water, the switching method in seawater is not necessary (see Section 3.3.1). 

Ag-AgCl electrodes are usually chosen (see Section 16.7 and Table 3-1). Care has to be taken that the electrical connection to the ship is sufficiently low resistance... 

Current supply for medium-sized ships is provided by an instrument in the engine control room or the engine room. With large ships, the rectifier should be installed near the anodes so that only cables of small cross-section are required. Formerly, in such cases two protection units independent of each other were used in the engine room and the forecastle. Meanwhile, the anodes were installed in the rear quarter of the ship, even with large tankers, and the poor current distribution had to be tolerated.
