Technical Information Pilot

The TID issues a Technical Information Pilot (TIP) periodically, containing abstracts of all reports received it is issued in four security classifications including unclassified. There is an annual index. TIP catalog cards are also available to qualified agencies and contractors for convenience in cataloging the reports these cards contain abstracts identical with those appearing in TIP.

This SRV handbook contains vital technical information relating to specifically spring- and pilot-operated SRVs used in the process industry for positive pressure applications above 0.5 Barg and as such for devices subject to both ASME VIII and PED, hence which are subject to law. Most publications currently available are exclusively based on US norms and codes. This book also addresses in detail the European requirements. 

The effectiveness of thermal desorption to decontaminate soil containing HO and of UV photolysis to destroy HO toxic constituents has been demonstrated in bench- and pilot-scale tests. Some additional technical information is needed for a complete evaluation of the process and to provide the basis for design of a full-scale system for on-site remedial action. This project illustrates the requirements for developing and implementing new process technology for solving contaminated-soil environmental problems. Only through such demonstration efforts can more cost-effective and environmentally sound remedial action alternatives be made available.

For years, large discussions have been devoted to the question if economical criteria should be considered to determine success in the pilot tests. It is the opinion of the authors of this paper that a pilot test primarily collects data and generates technical information, particularly in early execution phase, such as Stage 1. However, economical analysis helps in determining the main technical parameters to be studied. 

This paper demonstrates the technical feasibility of a plastics energy recovery plant using circulating fluidised bed technology from Ahlstrom of Finland. Full details are given of a two-phase test run conducted at Ahlstrom s pilot plant in Karhula, in order to obtain information on the process behaviour when combusting different types of plastics waste. Results are presented and conclusions drawn. 

A broad based experimental program to investigate the phenomena which accompany the introduction of radioactive waste into salt is an integral part of the WIFF project. The purpose of the experimental program is two-fold (1) to provide the necessary information to allow confident conversion from retrievable pilot operations to full-scale repository disposal operations and (2) to establish the technical base... 

This paper has primarily discussed the latter topic and other speakers at this conference have discussed a number of the other topics. It is likely that the large pilot plants that will begin operation in 1980 will establish engineering parameters and information that will bring the production of fuels from coal to technical readiness and provide a firm engineering and environmental data base to establish the foundation for a synthetic fuels industry in the U.S. 

We begin the analysis by collecting all the information that is known about the process from the technical Uterature - joiunals, books, and patents. Also we can obtain information from company brochvues on plant operations, pilot plant data, and laboratory data. Table 3.5.1 contains some of these data, operating conditions, and specifications. 

Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is a separation technique that uses sc-fluids as separating solvents. Supercritical fluids can replace other solvents in many purification procedures, even in countercurrent extraction. In synthetic chemistry, SFE can be an alternative to conventional methods for purification/isolation of complex products, for example pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and vitamins [12, 18j. Since SFE is still quite a young discipline, physical properties and basic parameters for many interesting compounds and mixtures are not yet known (in contrast to classical methods like distillations). Therefore, it must be pointed out that for all applications of sc-fluids the phase equilibria have to be determined properly. Unfortunately, for many technical or industrial applications of procedures based on supercritical fluids, the basic parameters are often not yet known. For industrial implementation, scale-up, miniplant, or pilot plant activities, it is absolutely necessary to have information about phase behaviour, solubility, energy balances and... 

Although precipitation is a widely used industrial process, it is disappointing, to say the least, to find so few informative published reports on its large-scale applications. The vast majority of papers in the scientific and technical literature refer to laboratory, and very occasionally to small pilot-scale, operation. Nevertheless, there is a wealth of published information available although it is scattered widely across the boundaries of many disciplines. 

Safe and effective performance in aviation, for example pilot proficiency, demands not only excellent technical knowledge, but also pronoimced interpersonal competence, which includes the selection and distribution of information, cooperative goal orientation and of course decision making. Moreover, skills in leadership and conflict management are required (Maschke and Rother, 2006).
