Is chemical energy a renewable non renewable or inexhaustible source?

Chemical energy can be both renewable and non-renewable, depending on the source. For example, fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas are non-renewable sources of chemical energy because they take millions of years to form and can be depleted. In contrast, biomass and biofuels are considered renewable sources, as they can be replenished relatively quickly through organic processes. Thus, the classification of chemical energy depends on its origin.


How is diesel energy produced?

Diesel is made by refining crude oil. It's a non-renewable, fossil fuel.


How many types of crude oil are there?

The petroleum industry often characterizes crude oils according to their geographical source, e.g., Alaska North Slope Crude. Oils from different geographical areas have their own unique properties; they can vary in consistency from a light volatile fluid to a semi-solid. Classification of crude oil types by geographical source is generally not a useful classification scheme for response personnel, because general toxicity, physical state, and changes that occur with time and weathering are not primary considerations. Rather, the classification scheme provided below is more useful in a response scenario. Class A: Light, Volatile Oils. These oils are highly fluid, often clear, spread rapidly on solid or water surfaces, have a strong odor, a high evaporation rate, and are usually flammable. They penetrate porous surfaces such as dirt and sand, and may be persistent in such a matrix. They do not tend to adhere to surfaces; flushing with water generally removes them. Class A oils may be highly toxic to humans, fish, and other biota. Most refined products and many of the highest quality light crudes can be included in this class. Class B: Non-Sticky Oils.These oils have a waxy or oily feel. Class B oils are less toxic and adhere more firmly to surfaces than Class A oils, although they can be removed from surfaces by vigorous flushing. As temperatures rise, their tendency to penetrate porous substrates increases and they can be persistent. Evaporation of volatiles may lead to a Class C or D residue. Medium to heavy paraffin-based oils fall into this class. Class C: Heavy, Sticky Oils. Class C oils are characteristically viscous, sticky or tarry, and brown or black. Flushing with water will not readily remove this material from surfaces, but the oil does not readily penetrate porous surfaces. The density of Class C oils may be near that of water and they often sink. Weathering or evaporation of volatiles may produce solid or tarry Class D oil. Toxicity is low, but wildlife can be smothered or drowned when contaminated. This class includes residual fuel oils and medium to heavy crudes. Class D: Nonfluid Oils. Class D oils are relatively non-toxic, do not penetrate porous substrates, and are usually black or dark brown in color. When heated, Class D oils may melt and coat surfaces that become very difficult to clean. Residual oils, heavy crude oils, some high paraffin oils, and some weathered oils fall into this class. These classifications are dynamic for spilled oils ... weather conditions and water temperature greatly influence the behavior of oil and refined petroleum products in the environment. For example, as volatiles evaporate from a Class B oil, it may become a Class C oil. If a significant temperature drop occurs (e.g., at night), a Class C oil may solidify and resemble a Class D oil. Upon warming, the Class D oil may revert back to a Class C oil.


What is the difference between process plant pre-commissioning and commissioning?

Pre-commissioning is the testing of non-energized systems. Commissioning is the testing of energized systems.

What is non halogenated organic waste?

Non-halogenated organic waste refers to organic materials that do not contain halogen elements such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, or astatine. This type of waste typically includes biodegradable substances like food scraps, paper, and plant matter, which can decompose naturally. Unlike halogenated organic compounds, non-halogenated organic waste generally poses a lower risk of environmental harm and toxicity. Proper disposal and management of such waste can contribute to sustainable waste practices, including composting and recycling.
