Flame arresters meeting this specification also comply with the mini-mnm reqnirements of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), Maritime Safety Committee Circnlar No. 373 (MSC/Circ. 373/Rev. 1). This specification is not widely nsed in the US chemical indnstry (Pietrowski 2000). [Pg.158]

For this one company stress-corrosion cracking alone cost 2M annually and the corresponding figure for the US chemical industry was 13M Some general points can be made about equipment design in connection with the more important types of corrosion. [Pg.16]

The US Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board investigated an accident at the Morton Specialty Chemical Company in 1998. Evaluate the board s recommendations, and break them down into three layers of recommendations. See http //www.chemsafety. gov/. [Pg.534]

DNP in a US chemical plant for a few months developed fever, profuse sweating, and restlessness. After treatment and rest they returned to work, collapsed, and died. Workroom air levels, measured after the deaths, were found to be at least 40mg/m , and significant dermal exposure may also have occurred. [Pg.278]

Chemical Bombs Under this name are bombs filled with a chemical agent(qv). Some US chemical bombs are listed in Vol 2 of this Encyclopedia under BOMBS and most Ger chemical bombs of WWII are listed in Ref 4 Some fairly recent US chemical bombs are listed in Refs 1,2 3, but none is listed or described in the latest edition of "Ammunition Complete. Round Charts (Ref 5). The smoke bombs described on sheets 13 14 of Ref 5 are used for signalling, and for this reason are classified not as chemical bombs but as pyrotechnic items... [Pg.567]

Arsine Derivatives,Organic. Many arsine derivs were proposed as CWA s. More than 60 of such derivs are listed by Wachtel (Ref, pp 189-92). The most known of these compds is Lewisite or MI, which is f -cbloro-vinyldichloroarsine, C1-CH CH- AsC12, first isolated in 1917 by Dr W. Lee Lewis and developed as a war gas by the US Chemical Warfare Service (Ref, pp 202-6). Another important arsine CWA is Adamsite (Brit) (designated in the US as DM) or diphenylamine-chloroarsine ...

Chemical producers have witnessed a dramatic run-up in their feedstock prices in the last four years, whether natural gas, crude oil derivatives such as naphtha, or petrochemicals such as benzene. The US chemical industry s feedstock bill in 2004, for example, was up USD 31 billion compared with 2002, representing a 57 percent increase in the net sales value of these basic chemicals. This dramatic overall surge conceals a number of different drivers, each with its own dynamics (Fig. 16.1). Basic hydrocarbon costs were up 72 percent, led by crude oil and nat-... [Pg.201]
