Download or read book Soil and Groundwater Remediation Guidelines for Diethyelene sic Glycol and Triethylene Glycol written by Alberta. Alberta Environment and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glycols have a wide range of uses including chemical feedstocks, solvents, and antifreeze. In addition, glycols are used in the dehydration of natural gas streams. The three glycols originally considered for soil and groundwater remediation guideline development were diethylene glycol (DEG), triethylene glycol (TEG), and tetraethylene glycol (TREG). This document develops proposed soil and groundwater remediation guidelines for DEG and TEG consistent with the Alberta Environment protocol. Due to the lack of published toxicological information on TREG, and the fact that the use of this compound in glycol dehydration units is uncommon, only DEG and TEG were carried forward to the guideline development stage. The limited background data that were found concerning TREG are retained in this document for completeness. Appendices A, B and C provide degradation and toxicological data specific to each of the three compounds.--Document.

Download or read book Soil and Groundwater Remediation Guidelines for Monoethanolamine and Diethanolamine written by Alberta. Alberta Environment and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The alkanolamine product family consists of ethanol-, isopropanol-, and butanol-substituted amines and includes monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), triethanolamine (TEA), and diisopropanolamine (DIPA). The alkanolamines considered in this report include MEA and DEA, and are referred to as the "Amines". Since their introduction in the late 1920s, the Amines have received widespread use in industrial processes and consumer products. No soil or groundwater remediation guidelines have been published to date for any of the Amines by either Alberta Environment (AENV) or the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME). This document develops proposed soil and groundwater remediation guidelines for MEA and DEA consistent with the Alberta Environment framework for the management of contaminated sites. Appendices A and B provide degradation and toxicological data specific to MEA and DEA.--Document.

Download or read book Waste Management for the Food Industries written by Ioannis S. Arvanitoyannis and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2010-07-28 with total page 1096 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continuously increasing human population, has resulted in a huge demand for processed and packaged foods. As a result of this demand, large amounts of water, air, electricity and fuel are consumed on a daily basis for food processing, transportation and preservation purposes. Although not one of the most heavily polluting, the food industry does contribute to the increase in volume of waste produced as well as to the energy expended to do so. For the first time, nine separate food industry categories are thoroughly investigated in Waste Management for the Food Industries in an effort to help combat this already acute problem. The current state of environmental management systems is described, offering comparisons of global legislation rarely found in other resources. An extensive review of commercial equipment, including advantages and disadvantages per employed waste management technique, offers a unique perspective for any academic, student, professional, and/or consultant in the food, agriculture and environmental industries. Thoroughly examines the most prevalent and most polluting industries such as Meat, Fish, Dairy, Olive Oil, Juice and Wine industries Includes synoptical tables [methods employed, physicochemical or microbiological parameters altered after treatment etc] and comparative figures of the effectiveness of various waste management methods Contains nearly 2500 of the most up-to-date references available
