Installation of underground storage tank system... The New Mexico Underground Storage Tank Regulations(USTR) require performance standards for new UST systems and upgrading older systems. These standards are aimed at prevention of releases due to structural failure, corrosion, spills and overfills as long as the UST system is used to store regulated substances. For new tanks four options exist : fiberglass reinforced plastic(FRP) ;steel, if cathodically protected; a Steel-FRP composite; or metal with no corrosion protection of certain soil conditions exist. New piping that routinely contains product must also meet the requirements. Acceptable piping materials are FRP, cathodically protected steel(coated and anodes attached) or unprotected metal, if approved. 3, record 2, English, - underground%20storage%20tank

NACE International was originally known as "The National Association of Corrosion Engineers" when it was established in 1943 by eleven corrosion engineers in the pipeline industry. These founding members were involved in a regional cathodic protection group formed in the 1930s, when the study of cathodic protection was introduced. With more than 60 years of experience in developing corrosion prevention and control standards, NACE International has become the largest organization in the world committed to the study of corrosion. The NACE International mission to protect people, assets, and the environment from the effect of corrosion is global. 1, record 3, English, - NACE%20International

Drying of gases : The removal of 95-100% of the water vapor in air or other gases is frequently necessary. Gases having a dew point of-40°F are considered commercially dry. The more important reasons for the removal of water vapor from air are :(1) comfort, as in air conditioning;(2) control of the humidity of manufacturing atmospheres;(3) protection of electrical equipment against corrosion, short circuits, and electrostatic discharges;(4) requirement of dry air for the use in chemical processes where moisture present in air adversely affects the economy of the process;(5) prevention of water absorption in pneumatic conveying; and(6) as a prerequisite to liquifaction. 3, record 7, English, - dry%20air

Réfrigération et congélation - Le taux maximal d'humidité que peut contenir un gaz décroît rapidement avec la température : pour l'air chargé de vapeur d'eau, par exemple, sa valeur à 30 °C n'est plus que le centième de celle qu'on observe à 20 °C; ceci découle immédiatement des variations correspondantes des tensions de vapeur. Le refroidissement d'une masse de gaz produit donc une dessiccation, une élimination des parties les plus condensables par dépôt sur les parois de l'appareil où s'effectue l'opération : c'est le piégeage à basse température. En général, le gaz à purifier circule sous pression ordinaire ou réduite autour d'une chemise baignée à l'extérieur par un liquide réfrigérant, sur laquelle se condense à l'état liquide ou solide à éliminer. Le condensat solide formé, sans inconvénient pour de faibles quantités, gêne cependant les transferts de chaleur accompagnant la condensation, lorsque son épaisseur est grande; il est alors nécessaire d'arrêter le fonctionnement de l'appareil et de procéder à un réchauffement temporaire, pour fondre le dépôt et l'éliminer par ruissellement vers la partie inférieure ou s'opère une vidange. 2, record 7, French, - air%20sec
