In order to well describe the risk acceptance criteria in these operations, the exclusion principle is introduced directly at the same level of ignition source assessment, meaning that not only the way ignition sources are generated will be taken into account, but also, for those which is known that will be present, it must be ensured that when it is so, safety measures are in place to ensure that the presence of an ATEX is sufficiently excluded. keywords: atmosphere; equipment; ignition; zone cache: cet-10062.pdf plain text: cet-10062.txt item: #4 of 2700 id: cet-10063 author: Heymes, Frederic; Lauret, Pierre; Hoorelbeke, Pol title: An Experimental Study of Water BLEVE date: 2019 words: 2973 flesch: 57 summary: The aim of this work was to perform BLEVE tests thanks to a 14L pressure vessel designed on purpose to produce high pressure water BLEVE (85 bar).

Understanding the observed precompression factors by applying reaction kinetics The precompression factors, which are attained in the precompressed zone of unreacted mixture ahead of the deflagrative flame front at the instant of autoignition, should correlate with the values found experimentally for the ratio R. To understand quantitatively the reason why (1) the R-values of stoichiometric C6H12/O2/N2 mixtures with low O2 concentrations differ from the R-values found for the other three stoichiometric mixtures CH4/O2/N2, H2/O2/N2 and C2H4/O2/N2 at corresponding O2-concentrations and why (2) the R-values drop along the stoichiometric line with rising O2 concentrations, reaction kinetics will be applied. keywords: bar; idt; temperature cache: cet-10205.pdf plain text: cet-10205.txt item: #38 of 2700 id: cet-1021 author: Wang, Shuaijie; Gao, Xueqin; Liu, Ying; Qin, Lu; Guan, Yao title: Anoxic Bioremediation of Oil Contaminated Coastal Sediment date: 2017 words: 3488 flesch: 39 summary: Figure 2: Effect of nutrients on the anoxic degradation of No.0 diesel oil in coastal sediment 3.3 Effect of electron acceptors on diesel oil degradation Two kinds of electron acceptors, sulfate ion and nitrate ion, were added respectively to investigate their influence on the anoxic biodegradation of No. 0 diesel oil in Bohai coastal sediment and the results were shown in Figure 3.

The results showed that, in presence of Cd, if pyrolysis temperature is higher than 653 K, it is not possible to obtain a free heavy metals vapor phase. keywords: biomass; branches; char; leaves; metals; pyrolysis; temperature cache: cet-1349.pdf plain text: cet-1349.txt item: #653 of 2700 id: cet-13490 author: None title: cet-13490 date: None words: 2879 flesch: 49 summary: The chemical characterization of plastic waste, producer gas, EF, and tar streams allowed to perform the mass balance applied to the carbon element, i.e., the carbon layer in Figure 1B and the energy balance, i.e., the energy layer in Figure 1C.

Such performance can be considered satisfactory not only to fulfil imaging and crop diagnostic missions, but also to perform more challenging one like plantation or pesticide distribution. 4. Conclusions Integration of components is not a straightforward task due to a lack of an integrated theory, application is challenging since it requires expert knowledge in aerodynamics and control theory, and the commercial development of heavy lift drones it is still today limited to few companies, often with export limitations on aircraft and sensors (i.e. frequency of IR sensors) due to military implications. keywords: analysis; flight; motor; payload; power; uav; use; weight cache: cet-1369.pdf plain text: cet-1369.txt item: #725 of 2700 id: cet-13690 author: None title: cet-13690 date: None words: 3763 flesch: 37 summary: An energy efficiency analysis for a continuous pilot-scale system was conducted by Vallejo et al.

To observe more immediately the effect of the second obstacle on the behaviour of the jet, it was decided to divide the maximum extensions of the pair of obstacles jets (ME_pair) by those relating to the respective single cases (ME_single) depending on the distance of the first obstacle from the point of release. keywords: distance; ground; jet; obstacle; pressure; release; set cache: cet-13712.pdf plain text: cet-13712.txt item: #750 of 2700 id: cet-13713 author: None title: cet-13713 date: None words: 3272 flesch: 57 summary: Extinguisher Flowrate/Jet (L/min) Test Code (ID-Ext-Supp-%-Jet) 4 14/11/22 K-SPLB-40 F500 2 13.2 / Spray 4-F5-M-2-SP 6 9 10 11 12 13 14/11/22 16/11/22 16/11/22 16/11/22 16/11/22 16/11/22 K-SPLB-40 K-SPLB-40 K-SPLB-40 K-SPLB-40 K-SPLB-40 K-SPLB-40 Foam Water F500 Water F500 AVD 2 - 3 - 2 20 8.3 / Spray 10.3 / Spray 7.2 / Mist 16.4 / Spray 13.2/ Spray 3.0 / Spray 6-FO-E-2-SP 9-WA-M-0-SP 10-F5-H-3-MI 11-WA-E-0-SP 12-F5-H-2-SP 13-AV-L-20-SP 44 Test Code has been chosen with the following criterion: Test ID Num - Extinguishing Agent - Extinguisher Supplier - Solute Concentration (%) - Extinguisher Jet A typical cell temperature profile for test where cooling is obtained by spray jet extinguishing agent is reported in Figure 2.

This process consists of the thermal decomposition of the organic matrix of the biomass in the absence of oxygen or a substoichiometric amount of combustion, which can simultaneously produce products in the liquid (tar – bio-oil), solid (coal – biochar) and gaseous (mainly syngas – CO and H2) states (Miranda et al., 2021). keywords: bagasse; biomass; energy; et al; process; products; pyrolysis; simulation; sugarcane; temperature cache: cet-15410.pdf plain text: cet-15410.txt item: #1541 of 2700 id: cet-15411 author: None title: cet-15411 date: None words: 2653 flesch: 56 summary: Case 1, USL 1 m/s, WG 30000 kg/h.

Results The analysis of the selection criteria indicates that the applicability of carbon capture technologies primarily depends on the CO₂ concentration of the gas stream, the energy required for separation and regeneration, and the presence of impurities. Conclusions and further research steps The suitability and implementation of carbon capture technologies are highly dependent on several key factors, including the specific application, the concentration of CO2 in the gas mixture, the chemical composition of the CO2 environment (e.g., presence of water vapor, acidic substances, and solid particles), and the prevailing physical conditions such as temperature and pressure (Thiedemann and Wark, 2025). keywords: adsorption; capture; carbon; carbon capture; chemical; co2; co₂; doi; efficiency; energy; gas; membrane; processes; separation; technologies cache: cet-15748.pdf plain text: cet-15748.txt item: #1740 of 2700 id: cet-15749 author: None title: cet-15749 date: None words: 4080 flesch: 38 summary: 5.3 Evaluation of mitigation measures for levee stability Subsurface cutoff walls (Figure 4a) effectively control levee seepage, with the 14 m sheet pile wall performing best by reducing the hydraulic gradient to 0.00288, groundwater flow to 0.2099 m³/day, and displacement to 0.02565 m.

Odour treatment based on biological oxidation process 3.1 Biological process-based odour treatment The odour treatment based on biological process is: organic pollutants are first contacted with water and dissolved in water; due to the differential concentration, the organic matter is further diffused from the liquid film into the biofilm after being dissolved in water, and then is absorbed by the microbes in the biofilm; afterwards, the microorganism through the metabolism can eventually turn the foul smell in the waste gas into the energy and carbon source, and decompose the organic matter into water and carbon dioxide; thus, the odour treatment is finally fulfilled. keywords: effect; gas; h2s; odour; oxidation; process; removal; treatment cache: cet-9111.pdf plain text: cet-9111.txt item: #2624 of 2700 id: cet-9112 author: Angeles, Roxana; Oliva, Giuseppina; Zarra, Tiziano; Naddeo, Vincenzo; Belgiorno, Vincenzo; Munoz, Raul; Lebrero, Raquel title: Comparative Evaluation of a Biotrickling Filter and a Tubular Photobioreactor for the Continuous Abatement of Toluene date: 2018 words: 3229 flesch: 44 summary: Similar REs of 89 ± 3 % (with an average EC of 12.8 ± 3.1 g m-3 h-1) and mineralization ratios of 42 % were recorded in stage III at a GRT of 45 s.

The analysis stemmed from a previous extensive assessment of Safety Integrity Level across all Sites of the Company, which is resumed in the following Chapter. keywords: benefit; cost; iec; investments; plant; safety; sif; sil cache: cet-9882.pdf plain text: cet-9882.txt item: #2695 of 2700 id: cet-9883 author: None title: cet-9883 date: None words: 2600 flesch: 36 summary: Results show indeed that process design based on steady state flexibility analysis considerably underestimates the optimal sizing required by the equipment extending this way the transient to elapse in order to restore the desired specifications, causing a corresponding off-spec production and a subsequent profit loss. On the other hand, if dynamic flexibility analysis is performed during the design phase, the engineer can decide, according to the perturbations likelihood, how much oversizing (that is additional costs) should be considered in order to avoid the risk of non-operable system under perturbated conditions. keywords: analysis; column; design; dynamic; flexibility; process; state; variables cache: cet-9883.pdf plain text: cet-9883.txt item: #2696 of 2700 id: cet-9884 author: None title: cet-9884 date: None words: 3519 flesch: 52 summary: Furthermore, Sσ and SE are the set of key process variables with requirements in precision and ability to be estimated, respectively: { } k As a consequence, the standard error, SE, for HSA_SOTS is zero in these experiences, which demonstrates an excellent ability of the method to replicate good solutions in each run. keywords: algorithms; carnero; case; hsa_sots; process; search; sndp; solution; variables cache: cet-9884.pdf plain text: cet-9884.txt item: #2697 of 2700 id: cet-9885 author: None title: cet-9885 date: None words: 2315 flesch: 53 summary: With respect to PR Equation of State, Bender model exhibit more stability near the critical point due to special nonlinear fitting and regression performed in this region by Bender in order to a very robust response of his Equation of State.

Therefore, if 1,2-PDO were produced directly from dilute, lower purity lactic acid, as proposed by Binczarski et al. (2016), who treated lactate from sugar beet pulp fermentation broth through adsorption on activated carbon to be converted into 1,2-PDO over Ru catalyst, achieving high yield (87.7 mol %). keywords: 1,2; acetaldehyde; acid; bar; distillation; pdo; reactive cache: cet-9888.pdf plain text: cet-9888.txt
