Utilization facilities

The planning processes described herein were traditional in nature, with little variation from year to year. Growth was steady, equipment technology advancements were available for the conditions expected, and while utility facilities were capital-intensive, a regulated guaranteed return on investment resulted in adequate financing capital. The utility planner had a vision of the future with acceptable accuracy. 

Monitoring threat information should be a regular part of a security program manager s job, and utility-, facility-, and region-specific threat levels and information should be shared with those responsible for security. As part of security planning, chemical facilities should develop systems to access threat information and procedures that will be followed in the event of increased industry or facility threat levels, and should be prepared to put these procedures in place immediately, so that adjustments are seamless. Involving local law enforcement and FBI is critical. 

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency s Office of Solid Waste recently produced a report entitled "Markets for Scrap Tires", which summarizes the barriers to development of TDF markets for dedicated tire-to-energy facilities, other utility facilities, the cement industry, the pulp and paper industry, and pyrolysis facilities. Table 1-4 summarizes the reported barriers. 

This section summarizes the experience of electric utility facilities that have tested TDF or tires, or that are using them in commercial operation. This section will describe the technical operation and modifications needed to accommodate TDF or tire use. The air emissions data and other environmental information will be described in sections 6.3 and 6.4 of this chapter respectively. 

Mr. Schlesinger was quoted in the New York Times (January 10, 1979) as saying, A1though the Administration remains committed to the use of coal instead of oil or gas in new boiler facilities over the longer run, over the course of at least the next several years, existing industrial and utility facilities will be provided every encouragement to burn gas instead of oil ...

After the process information has been integrated into one or more flow sheets, the economic aspects of the design are next considered. This involves (1) an estimate of the types and sizes of equipment and materials, buildings, ground area, and utility facilities (2) a determination of what the process will cost based on physical facilities and construction charges (3) a cost estimate of utilities consumption (steam, electricity, water, fuel), labor and supervision personnel requirements, maintenance and repairs, raw materials, and finance charges (interest, taxes, insurance, medical benefits, etc.). 

Agreement State programs were developed to bring a modicum of control to the state level, but they do not cover all handling of nuclear materials. For instance, all import and export of nuclear materials is controlled by the NRC, as is the constmction of any nuclear material production or utilization facility. Many waste disposal issues also fall under the aegis of the NRC. The NRC has the ultimate authority to control all nuclear materials deemed pertinent to the defense and security of the United States. More information on NRC and Agreement State regulations is online at http //www.hsrd.ornl.gov/nrc/index.html (Dec. 2005).

For each of the two routes considered here, there are a number of considerations. For example, there are only a limited number of industrial processes where CO2 is used. The two most important ones are the production of methanol and urea, using a total of around 200 Mtons of CO2 [12, 20]. Furthermore, one of the key aspects is to understand the site-specific conditions in order to optimize the integration of the existing CO2 production facilities with the new C02 utilization facilities. For example, in order to produce hydrocarbons via the direct route a hydrogen source is required. 

System safety tools and techniques currently used primarily in the aerospace, weapons, and nuclear industries offer great potential for meeting these challenges. The systematic application of system safety fundamentals early in the life cycle to produce first time safe products and services can provide significant, cost-effective gains in the safety effort in transportation, manufacturing, construction, utilities, facilities, and many other areas. 

Utility Facilities are the facilities required to support the battery-limits plant, This may include water treatment, steam generation, electricity, and cooling for process water and waste water treatment. Utility facilities support production. Utility facilities can range from 35% of the battery-limits plant cost for grass-roots installations to 10% for an addition to an existing production site.

Preoperation expenses include training of personnel, testing equipment and instruments, and adjusting or modityir the process. The time and expense depend on the complejdty of the plant and the maturity of the techrx>Iogy. Typically these expenses can be between 6% and 10% of the combined capital investment for battery-limits plant and utility facilities. 

A supply of spare parts is necessary for maintenance and repairs. The amount of spare parts in inventory depends on availability. In industrialized countries, spare parts investment can generally be small, but in developing countries a larger inventory is often required. Typically, spare parts can range from less than 2% of the total cost for a battery-limits plant and utility facilities in an industrialized area to 4% in developing countries. The... 

A modular construction approach is used for the equipment, cable trays, HVAC ducts, and a uniform spacing between walls and floors to accommodate such equipment is provided. This provides for an efficient construction schedule and efficient space utilization. Facilities with long experience for module fabrication such as ship yards are anticipated to construct the equipment. The schedule of the flow of materials, shop production, and assembly of modules will be closely integrated and supervised. 

Another sector for generation of tertiary bioresources is the maintenance of gardens, other green areas, and special installations with vegetation. In contrast to the secondary maintenance bioresources the plant residues are not genuine and/or often partly degraded before they arrive in a utilization facility. 

Many neutron radiography facilities are under-utilized. Therefore, prior to installing a new facility, it is recommended that a reactor planning the installation be assured of a significant local market that cannot get its needs met elsewhere. Alternatively, the design and installation of a real time radiography facility could be based on new and previously untried applications that cannot be performed at existing under-utilized facilities.
