Ships, refrigerated

Plasticized PVB interlayer is hygroscopic. In addition, Ts are in the neighborhood of 30°C thus, interlayer tends to adhere to itself, or block, when roUs or stacks of cut blanks are stored at ambient conditions. For these reasons handling and shipping must be carried out under controUed humidity and at temperatures weU below the sheet s T. Precut interlayer blanks and roUs are usually stored or shipped refrigerated (3—I0°C), and when roUs need to be stored or shipped at ambient conditions, the sheet is interleaved with a thin sheet of nonadhering plastic such as polyethylene. [Pg.453]

Interlayer with gradient color bands are made for automobile windshields (81-83). The band is printed on the interlayer surface or tinted by coextrusion with pigmented resin. Curvature for a windshield is accomplished by differentially stretching sheet heated at about 85-100°C over a tapered shaping drum. Rolls of sheet or precut interlayer blanks are usually stored or shipped refrigerated at 3-10°C, or shipped at ambient conditions with an interleaved thin sheet of plastic such as polyethylene to prevent blocking. [Pg.8845]

Where the distance to the customer is very large, or where a gas pipeline would have to cross too many countries, gas may be shipped as a liquid. Gas has to be chilled to -160°C in a LNG plant to keep it in liquid form, and is shipped in refrigerated tankers. To condition the gas for liquefaction any COj, HjS, water and heavier hydrocarbons must be removed, by the methods already discussed. The choice of how much propane and butane to leave in the LNG depends upon the heating requirements negotiated with the customer. [Pg.256]

Anhydrous ammonia is moved worldwide ia specially designed vessels, barges, rail cars, and tmcks. AH modes are covered by rigid safety restrictions (8). Ships and barges usuaHy employ refrigeration or semirefrigeration to maintain the Hquid, while rail cars and tmcks normally depend only on pressure... [Pg.218]

Large quantities of butane are shipped under contract standards rather than under national or worldwide specifications. Most of the petrochemical feedstock materials are sold at purity specifications of 95—99.5 mol %. Butane and butane—petroleum mixtures intended for fuel use are sold worldwide under specifications defined by the Gas Processors Association, and the specifications and test methods have been pubHshed (28). Butanes may be readily detected by gas chromatography. Butanes commonly are stored in caverns (29) or refrigerated tanks. [Pg.403]

The leading states in milk production in decreasing order are Wisconsin, Minnesota, New York, California, and Pennsylvania. These states produce - 45% of the U.S. milk supply. Less than 5% of the total production is used on farms and the remainder is sold for commercial purposes. Whereas milk and cream were formerly shipped in 19-, 30-, or 38-L cans from the farm to the plant, in the 1990s most commercial production, particularly for fluid milk, is moved in bulk from the cows to refrigerated farm tanks to insulated bulk tmck tankers and to the manufacturing plant. The investment in equipment and the cost of hired labor are associated with large, capital-intensive production centers. [Pg.363]

Chloroformates are shipped in nonretumable 208-L (55-gal) polyethylene dmms with carbon steel overpacks or high density polyethylene dmms. Eor bulk shipments, insulated stainless-steel tank containers and tmcks provide secure protection. Tank tmck and rail car quantities are shipped using equipment dedicated for these types of products. Materials such as isopropyl chloroformate, benzyl chloroformate, and j -butyl chloroformate that require refrigeration are precooled when shipped in bulk containers. Bulk shipments that are precooled must proceed to the destination without layover. Dmm shipments of IPCE, BCE, and SBCE must be shipped in refrigerated containers. Many of the chloroformates are only shipped in tmck load shipments. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Hazardous Materials Regulations control the shipments of chloroformates, as described in Table 3. [Pg.40]

Ammonia is shipped as a liquefied gas under its own vapour pressure of 114 psig (7.9 bar) at 21°C. Uses are to be found in refrigeration, fertilizer production, metal industries, the petroleum, chemical and rubber industries, domestic cleaning agents and water purification. Aqueous solutions of ammonia are common alkaline laboratory reagents ca 0.88 solution is the strongest available. Ammonia gas is expelled on warming. [Pg.276]

Refrigerate and ship the material at atmospheric pressure or at reduced pressure. [Pg.93]

Ammonia, when released is a toxic gas with little flammability. It is imported by sea into the 14,(XX) tonnes capacity tank at Shell UK Oil where the refrigeration maintains the temperature below the boiling point of the gas (33° C). Three ways were identified whereby several hundred tonnes of liquid ammonia could be released into the river to vaporize and disperse. The worst accident would have an accompanying explosion or fire on an ammonia carrier berthed at the unloading jetty. Next in order of severity is a ship collision and spillage into the river near the unloading jetty. The consequences of a collision between ships occurring within the area but not near the jetty were also calculated. [Pg.434]

The facility stores ammonia to supply nearby fertilizer manufacturers. It is transported to the plant by ship, transferred and stored in the tank for transfer as needed. The facility mainly consists of a storage tank, a refrigeration system, a control system, and a pipe connecting the tank with the plants. Ammonia is transported and stored as a refrigerated liquid (-33 C) at atmospheric pressure. [Pg.446]

Because much of the world lacks the natural gas resources and transportation pipelines of the United States, remote natural gas must be liquefied and transported by ship. Gas-rich countries want to capture stranded gas by liquefying and shipping it to gas-poor regions as LNG. The gas-poor countries enter into contracts so that a long-term supply is available to warrant the investment in the electricity-generating infrastructure. The overall investment is enormous, not only in the liquefaction plant, but in the refrigerated tankers and the regasification plant at the deliveiy site. [Pg.832]

Shipments of LNG began in the early 1960s and continued to expand so that by 1995 there were over 65 ships transporting almost 68 million tons of LNG, with each equipped with a specialized refrigeration system to keep LNG cool enough to stay in its liquefied state. Transportation was estimated to reach 107... [Pg.832]

Production Test. In a small-scale production test, tinplate containers with two commercially available enamels and two end-sealing compounds, which were selected from the results of this study, performed satisfactorily when packed with beef and ham. Beef was irradiated with 4.5-5.6 Mrad at 5, —30, and —90°C ham was irradiated with 3-4 Mrad and 6-7.5 Mrad at —30°C. For this production test, beef and ham were packaged in round tinplate containers and ham in Pullman tinplate containers, frozen and refrigerated products were shipped 1,200 miles by truck, and were gamma irradiated at various doses and temperatures. Irradiated products were shipped 1,200 miles in a non-refrigerated truck and stored at selected temperatures and humidities. The integrity of the cans was evaluated after storage for 10 days, 3 months, and 6 months. [Pg.40]
