This paper introduces the basics of exergy-based sustainability assessment and the framework that should be shaped within the first stage. The sustainability assessment framework leads to sustainability indicators that are used to assist policymakers and decision-making processes. The literature review shows that the energy systems are suited to sustainability assessment with exergy based assessment tools and indicators from an environmental point of view. In this study, an exergy based sustainability assessment is carried out by using the exergy analyses results of an ORC (organic Rankine cycle) integrated waste heat recovery system on a 1,221 TEU container ship. The exergy analysis results are used to derive comparable and quantified exergetic sustainability indicators that indicate the sustainability level and further improvement potentials with the utilization of the proposed waste heat recovery system design. The assessment results show that the minimum waste exergy ratio is obtained with the value of 0.106 when R1234ze(Z) is used and the evaporating pressure is 3 MPa. R1234ze(Z) and R245fa working fluids show good environmental performance for the proposed system design. The maximum exergetic sustainability index value is obtained with the value of 8.435 when R1234ze(Z) is used and the evaporating pressure is 3 MPa.

The unprecedented threat of COVID‐19 and the likelihood of other emerging infectious diseases have accentuated the need for sustainable and effective masks and respirators (MAR). MAR assists in minimizing the risk of infection and controlling the spread of pathogens. However, during the COVID‐19 pandemic, there was a worldwide scarcity of MAR due to unprecedented global demand. There are also notable limitations in commonly used MAR, such as low filtration efficiency, poor fit, non‐reusability, physiological impact, lack of biocompatibility and non‐biodegradability, and inability to kill pathogens. Therefore, there remains an unmet need for a comprehensive study focusing on potential materials and new technologies for MAR. Here we outline a comprehensive overview of the limitations of conventional MAR followed by required potential solutions (such as using nanofibers/graphene base filters/metal‐organic framework as filter media, laser scanning and 3D printing for fit and seal, applying antimicrobial nanomaterials coating on filter media, using reusable and biodegradable materials, developing high‐performing cloth masks, improving hydrophobicity, etc.). The information on potential materials and new technologies of MAR and research evidence outlined here can inform further research and development of high‐performing and sustainable respiratory protection technologies to improve the health and safety of the first responders and the community.

“…The unavailability of sufficient storage facility forced the refining industry to shut down their plants and wait for petroleum products' upliftment to ensure adequate ullage for plant rundowns [7]. The said emergency turned down the petroleum refining industries to enhance the storage capacity of their respective tank farms and other associated terminal storage depots in addition to the rapid growth of other hazardous chemical industries [8][9][10]. The race towards maximizing the capacity comprised of high capital incentives may proceed towards the creation of safety-critical firefighting system design-related issues [11].…”

Petroleum facilities containing welded steel bulk flammable liquid product storage tanks possess sundry fire hazards inherent to the facility. These installations urgently require indigenous efficient firefighting systems. So, the efficient design of firewater and firefighting foam system is dynamic in controlling fire-related emergencies. The paper deals with the in-depth conceptualization of the design and analysis of firefighting systems for a typical petroleum handling, processing and storage facility in compliance with international standards. The study is aimed to formulate the elementary technique for designing an optimized firefighting system. The proposed objective was achieved by considering an ideal tank farm site that is most commonly located in a range of terminal stations, pumping stations, petroleum refineries, well sites, etc. Sufficient illumination was enumerated on the standardized classification of the liquid fuel product with respect their flammability range. Special guidelines regarding firefighting system design basis were defined and an optimized firefighting and foam system design was developed. Moreover, sufficient limitations that must be considered during the firefighting of huge tank fires are discussed. This comprehensive numerical design philosophy offers a simple and wide-ranging guide to industrial practitioners by formulating the principles for industrial firefighting system design.
