Download or read book Cleaning of Process Equipment and Piping written by Joerg Gutzeit and published by Materials Technology Ins S. This book was released on 1997 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Process equipment and piping in chemical and petrochemical plants and petroleum refineries have to be cleaned periodically as part of normal maintenance operations to remove fouling that interferes with process flow, heat transfer, or other operations. Cleaning is also necessary to allow safe personnel entry prior to equipment inspection, repairs, or modifications. Most cleaning operations are expensive and time-consuming and need to be planned, budgeted, and carried out in a timely fashion to ensure minimum interference with normal process or maintenance operations. Certain process equipment and piping may also have to be cleaned prior to being put into service for the first time. Such pre-commission cleaning removes rust, dirt, and other debris that formed or entered during fabrication, shipment, or erection, and that are likely to cause damage after start-up. process equipment and piping in chemical plants, petrochemical plants and petroleum refineries. Practical information and guidance is provided for plant engineers and operators who, from time to time, are charged with planning various cleaning operations that will be carried out either by in-house maintenance personnel or outside cleaning contractors. Sufficient information is given to enable the nonspecialist to either propose cleaning procedures or evaluate cleaning procedures proposed by others. The manual enumerates a multitude of factors that need to be considered before a cleaning operation is started, including timing, alternative methods, costs, manpower requirements, safety concerns, and waste disposal issues.

Download or read book Repair Evaluation Maintenance and Rehabilitation Research Program Procedures and Devices for Underwater Cleaning of Civil Works Structures written by and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civil works structures must be continually evaluated for structural safety, stability and operational adequacy. Proper inspection and evaluation of them to identify deficiencies will usually require some type of cleaning of the structure. A wide variety of underwater cleaning tools and methodologies have been developed and are currently in use in the offshore oil industry and by the US Navy. These tools range from hand-held scrapers to powered tools and high- pressure waterjets. Several tools have been specifically designed for removal of underwater debris. These tools include jet eductors, dredges, and air lifts. This report summaries underwater cleaning procedures and devices that are appropriate for use on civil works structures. The application, advantages, disadvantages, and operation of each type of equipment are discussed, along with recommendations for those tools best suited for specific conditions.

Download or read book Safety and Health for Engineers written by Roger L. Brauer and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-08-18 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SAFETY AND HEALTH FOR ENGINEERS A comprehensive resource for making products, facilities, processes, and operations safe for workers, users, and the public Ensuring the health and safety of individuals in the workplace is vital on an interpersonal level but is also crucial to limiting the liability of companies in the event of an onsite injury. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported over 4,700 fatal work injuries in the United States in 2020, most frequently in transportation-related incidents. The same year, approximately 2.7 million workplace injuries and illnesses were reported by private industry employers. According to the National Safety Council, the cost in lost wages, productivity, medical and administrative costs is close to 1.2 trillion dollars in the US alone. It is imperative—by law and ethics—for engineers and safety and health professionals to drive down these statistics by creating a safe workplace and safe products, as well as maintaining a safe environment. Safety and Health for Engineers is considered the gold standard for engineers in all specialties, teaching an understanding of many components necessary to achieve safe workplaces, products, facilities, and methods to secure safety for workers, users, and the public. Each chapter offers information relevant to help safety professionals and engineers in the achievement of the first canon of professional ethics: to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public. The textbook examines the fundamentals of safety, legal aspects, hazard recognition and control, the human element, and techniques to manage safety decisions. In doing so, it covers the primary safety essentials necessary for certification examinations for practitioners. Readers of the fourth edition of Safety and Health for Engineers readers will also find: Updates to all chapters, informed by research and references gathered since the last publication The most up-to-date information on current policy, certifications, regulations, agency standards, and the impact of new technologies, such as wearable technology, automation in transportation, and artificial intelligence New international information, including U.S. and foreign standards agencies, professional societies, and other organizations worldwide Expanded sections with real-world applications, exercises, and 164 case studies An extensive list of references to help readers find more detail on chapter contents A solution manual available to qualified instructors Safety and Health for Engineers is an ideal textbook for courses in safety engineering around the world in undergraduate or graduate studies, or in professional development learning. It also is a useful reference for professionals in engineering, safety, health, and associated fields who are preparing for credentialing examinations in safety and health.

This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The deteriorating condition of federal facilities poses economic, safety, operational, and environmental risks to the federal government, to the achievement of the missions of federal agencies, and to the achievement of public policy goals. Primary factors underlying this deterioration are the age of federal facilities-about half are at least 50 years old-and decades of inadequate investment for their maintenance and repair. These issues are not new and there are no quick fixes. However, the current operating environment provides both the impetus and the opportunity to place investments in federal facilities' maintenance and repair on a new, more sustainable course for the 21st Century. Despite the magnitude of investments, funding for the maintenance and repair of federal facilities has been inadequate for many years, and myriad projects have been deferred. Predicting Outcomes of Investments in Maintenance and Repair of Federal Facilities identifies processes and practices for transforming the current portfolio of federal facilities into one that is more economically, physically, and environmentally sustainable. This report addresses ways to predict or quantify the outcomes that can be expected from a given level of maintenance and repair investments in federal facilities or facilities' systems, and what strategies, measures, and data should be in place to determine the actual outcomes of facilities maintenance and repair investments.
