Depending on the accessibility afforded by adjacent equipment, aged ladders and access platforms are often quoted as options by vendors. Square body configuration systems (plan view) have square body and plenum sections. Safety handrails surrounding the plenum are standard. Structural supports are usually optional, the height of which depends on system location. Figures 3 and 4 provide sketches of the two basic configurations.

Before obtaining the experimental results for the proposed covalidation effort, two prior steps were required, namely, the design and fabrication of the microchannels, and the assembly of an experimental platform that would allow for the easy exchange of different microchannel setups. A PMMA poly-methyl methacrylate prism of low thermal conductivity was employed as the structural support of the metallic plates that form the microchannels, chosen to be made of electronic grade copper (upper plate) and brass (lower plate). Micro-machining of the PMMA block and of the metallic plates was accomplished and the setup was assembled according to Fig. 2 below. 

Grade Location. The most economical and common location of process equipment is at grade. Supporting structures and platforms are not required. Construction is easy. Most valves and instruments can be made accessible firom grade. Operation and maintenance are convenient. Elevated equipment with its structures, platforms, handling beams, etc. means cost increases in several design areas. 

Structural. Ladders, platforms, and agitator supports correctly designed clear understanding of vessel/structural supply interface steelwork connection pads and brackets included where needed.

Especially critical in fire pump installations from open bodies of water is the activity of underwater diver operations in close proximity of the underwater fire pump suction bell or opening. Underwater diving operations routinely occur at the structural support (i.e., the jacket) for offshore installations for corrosion monitoring, modifications, inspections, etc. The high water current at the intake to the submerged pump poses a safety hazard to divers as they may be pulled into this intake. During the operation of the ill fated Piper Alpha platform it was common practice to switch the fire pump to manual startup mode (requiring an individual... 

Bachem produces biochemical and pharmaceutical compounds, and offers complementary services on a proprietary technology platform. Although, oriented to the Health Sector, it supports synthetic methods from customers for defined target structures up to the registration of new compounds. Consequently, R D activities are also a strong part of Bachem business that encourages collaborations with technology partners to produce new active substances. 

Floating exploration and production facilities are sometimes provided on jackup rigs, semi-submersible vessels or ex-crude oil shipping tankers converted to production treatment vessels. These facilities are essentially the same as fixed offshore platform or installations except they are moored in place or provided with a temporary support structure instead of provided with fixed supports to the seabed. The major process fire and explosion risks are identical to the risks produced on offshore platforms. They have one addition major facility risk, that is the maintenance of buoyancy of the installation. Should fire or explosion effects cause a loss of buoyancy (or even stability) the entire facility is at risk of submergence. Adequate compartimization and integrity assurances must be implemented in these instances. 

The load from piping and pipe-supporting elements (including restraints and braces) shall be suitably transmitted to a pressure vessel, building, platform, support structure, foundation, or to other piping capable of bearing the load without deleterious effects. 

Each TRBP has an inner vessel and an outer box. The outer box provides the heat source, the physical support structure, and the platform for connecting to utilities and other plant interfaces. Materials to be treated are placed in the inner vessel.
