9420693 Thompson Underground pipelines and storage tank systems can develop leaks over time and cause significant environmental damage. A number of Government Agencies have jointly recognized this concern and are joining together to facilitate a research and development program to be undertaken jointly by the New Jersey Institute of Technology's Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Emission Reduction and Iowa State University's Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Nondestructive Evaluation. This proposal address the initiation phase of an envisaged broad scope, multi-year project. The Emission Reduction Research Center (ERRC) will be responsible for the interface with he sponsoring Agencies, EPA, DOE, DOD, and NSF. ERRC is conducting a needs assessment, with particular emphasis on environmental and regulatory compliance issues. These initial activities are to identify existing leak detection/leak location equipment; assess modifications to regulatory and operating needs; develop experimental plan leading to modifications; and develop bench scale studies leading to new technologies and protocols. All field testing will utilize the pipeline systems at the EPA UST/Pipeline Test Apparatus in Edison, New Jersey. The Center for Nondestructive Evaluation is responsible for assessment of technology, based initially on the existing EPA technology and literature information. This Center will survey industry consensus on the effectiveness of available technologies and conduct experimental studies of current acoustic emission techniques. The researchers are fully qualified to perform these studies. Funding for this project is being provided by EPA, DOE, DOD and NSF. The Program Manager recommends Iowa State University be awarded $196,872 for one year for its portion of this project with funds provided by the U.S. Department of Navy's Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center.

小行星9420693 随着时间的推移，地下管道和储罐系统可能会发生泄漏，并造成重大的环境破坏。 许多政府机构已经共同认识到这一问题，并正在联合起来，以促进由新泽西理工学院的工业/大学减排合作研究中心和爱荷华州州立大学的工业/大学无损评估合作研究中心联合开展的研究和开发计划。 本提案涉及设想的一个范围广泛的多年期项目的启动阶段。 减排研究中心（ERRC）将负责与发起机构EPA、DOE、DOD和NSF的接口。 应急资源中心正在进行一项需求评估，特别强调环境和遵守规章的问题。 这些初步活动是确定现有的泄漏检测/泄漏定位设备;评估对法规和操作需求的修改;制定导致修改的实验计划;以及开展实验室规模研究，从而产生新技术和协议。 所有现场测试都将使用新泽西爱迪生市EPA UST/管道测试装置的管道系统。 无损评估中心负责技术评估，最初基于现有的EPA技术和文献信息。 该中心将调查行业对可用技术有效性的共识，并对当前声发射技术进行实验研究。 研究人员完全有资格进行这些研究。 该项目的资金由EPA、DOE、DOD和NSF提供。 项目经理建议爱荷华州州立大学获得196，872美元，用于该项目的一年部分，资金由美国海军部海军设施工程服务中心提供。
