Book Acoustic Emission Methods for the Detection of Leaks in Underground Storage Tanks and Pipelines

Download or read book Acoustic Emission Methods for the Detection of Leaks in Underground Storage Tanks and Pipelines written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Phase 1 study was to investigate the feasibility of applying advanced acoustic emission (AE) instrumentation and methodology to the detection of small leaks in large underground fuel storage tanks (USTs) and associated pipelines. This technology has been successfully used to test for leaks in the floors of large above-ground petrochemical storage tanks. Laboratory testing was conducted by mounting two acoustic sensors to a leak test apparatus. As the leak hole size, hydrostatic pressure head, and surrounding soil types were varied, the acoustic signal levels within 16 frequency bands were monitored. A leak source emits a characteristic acoustic signature that travels through both the storage vessel walls and liquid until it arrives at the monitoring sensors. Software routines were developed to distinguish this signal from random unrelated background noise using two distinct leak detection approaches, activity detection and location detection. Experimental results showed a minimum detection leak rate of approximately 0.4 gal/hr. Continued laboratory development to improve the detection sensitivity was recommended. This would be followed by field test evaluation.

Book Lees Loss Prevention in the Process Industries

Download or read book Lees Loss Prevention in the Process Industries written by Frank Lees and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2012-11-05 with total page 3685 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Safety in the process industries is critical for those who work with chemicals and hazardous substances or processes. The field of loss prevention is, and continues to be, of supreme importance to countless companies, municipalities and governments around the world, and Lees’ is a detailed reference to defending against hazards. Recognized as the standard work for chemical and process engineering safety professionals, it provides the most complete collection of information on the theory, practice, design elements, equipment, regulations and laws covering the field of process safety. An entire library of alternative books (and cross-referencing systems) would be needed to replace or improve upon it, but everything of importance to safety professionals, engineers and managers can be found in this all-encompassing three volume reference instead. The process safety encyclopedia, trusted worldwide for over 30 years Now available in print and online, to aid searchability and portability Over 3,600 print pages cover the full scope of process safety and loss prevention, compiling theory, practice, standards, legislation, case studies and lessons learned in one resource as opposed to multiple sources

Book Resources and References

Download or read book Resources and References written by Donna S. Kocurek and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1995-12-31 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide book provides references and resources for the complex field of hazardous waste and hazardous materials management. The book is divided into general topics such as air quality, industrial wastewater, pollution prevention, and risk assessment under hazardous waste management and chemical hazards, emergency planning, and hazard communication under hazardous materials management. Each individual section includes a list of annotated bibliographies of the most recent books by major publishers as well as established, standard references. Following the annotated titles, are additional references of books and documents by publishers, technical associations, and governmental agencies (primarily the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency). In general, only references from 1986 onward are included since the technology and regulations affecting hazardous waste and materials are constantly evolving. Additional resources included in the book are video tapes for training and instruction, information services and databases, libraries, agency contacts, technical journals, and a list of publishers and ordering information. This book will be a useful reference to professionals in the environmental field who need an extensive, but concise source of technical information and contacts. The book will be a valuable addition to individual libraries and will fill a current reference void in university libraries, and technical libraries in industry and government. At present there are very few technical bibliographies in the field, and none has covered topics related to hazardous materials and hazardous waste as extensively as this book.

Book Aboveground Storage Tank AST Leak Detection and Monitoring

Download or read book Aboveground Storage Tank AST Leak Detection and Monitoring written by and published by . This book was released on 2004-03-01 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center (NFESC), Port Hueneme, California, and its industrial partners, Vista Engineering Technologies, L.L.C., and Vista Research, Inc., have demonstrated and validated (DEM/VAL) an innovative mass-based leak detection system for aboveground storage tanks (ASTs). The Low-Range Differential Pressure (LRDP) system is a computer- controlled system that can reliably detect small leaks in ASTs, which range in size from 50,000 gal to ASTs with diameters of over 260 ft and containing over 10,000,000 gal of petroleum fuel. While no specific national regulatory requirements presently exist for ASTs, stringent state requirements are forcing Department of Defense (DoD) facilities to take their tanks out of service to install double bottoms and perform interstitial monitoring. With a validated, high-performance, in-tank leak-detection system for ASTs, like the LRDP, an alternative strategy is now available that is cost effective and does not necessitate taking the tank out of service. The results of the evaluation showed that the LRDP has the performance to meet the monthly monitoring and annual precision (tightness) test regulatory compliance requirements set for bulk underground storage tanks (USTs) using a test that takes less than 24 h to conduct. This project was performed under the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (TNTCP). The objective of the ESTCP is to demonstrate and validate innovative environmental technologies that are needed to address the environmental objectives of the DoD, that are cost effective, and that will be ready for the development of commercial products and services at the completion of the DEM/VALs. All of the objectives of the project have been met, and the LRDP is ready for and is currently in commercial use.
