Advantage and disadvantage

According to Cleasby and Logsdon (11), where the source water and other conditions are suitable, DE filtration can offer a number of benefits to the user, including the following  

Capital cost savings may be possible because of smaller land and plant building requirements. Treatment costs may be slightly less than conventional coagulation/sedimentahon/granular media filtration when filterable solids are low (11-13), although sedimentation would not usually be needed for such high-quality source waters. 

The DE process is entirely a physical/mechaihcal operahon and can attain high log removals of Giardia cysts and Cryptosporidium oocysts without operator expertise in water chemistry relahng to coagulation (3,4,10,11,19-26). 

The waste residuals are easily dewatered and in some cases may be reclaimed for other uses, including soil conditioning and land reclamation. Research is under way to determine the feasibihty of reusing filter medium as body feed (7-10). 

Acceptable finished water clarity is achieved as soon as precoating is complete and filtration starts. A filter-to-waste period is generally not necessary to bring turbidity of the finished water within acceptable hmits. 

The advantages and disadvantages associated with inspections include  

Most EPDM appUcations require elasticity and thus crosslinking. However, EPM is also used without crossUnking, as an impact modifier for crystalline thermoplastics such as polypropylene (PP) and polyamides, and as an oil additive. 

The main advantages and disadvantages of an ebuUated-bed hydroprocessing reactor are as follows (Ancheyta and Speight, 2007)  

Very flexible operation (high and low conversion modes). 

Capability to periodically withdraw or add the catalyst to the reactor with-ont interrupting the operation to maintain the necessary catalyst activity. This characteristic of EBR increases the operating factor of the process unit and decreases refinery maintenance cost associated with catalyst dumping and reloading, as compared with FBR. 

Good heat transfer, so that overheating of the catalyst bed is minimized and less coke forms. 

The average activity of the catalyst inventory reaches a steady state, which resnlts in constant prodnct properties during the cycle length. This is the major difference when compared with FBR, in which reaction selectivities 

In the previous section, it was shown that the applicability of Type A sleeves and composite repairs is similar and that Type B sleeves can be used where Type A sleeves and composite repairs cannot. 

One of the claimed advantages of composite repairs over steel sleeves is that their installation requires no welding to an in-service pipeline. It is clear from the previous discussion that the installation of Type A sleeves, which can serve the same purpose as composite repairs, also requires no welding to an in-service pipeline. Welds that do not contact the carrier pipe are not considered to be in-service welds according to Appendix B of API 1104 (API Standard 1104, 2005), even though longitudinal seam welds are made while the pipehne is in service. 

Unlike composite materials, steel sleeves have no finite shelf life. The shelf life of composite repair kits must be tracked, and kits that are not used prior to the expiration date must be discarded. Because of their high stiffness, steel sleeves are less sensitive to pressure reduction during installation than composite repairs. Composite 

Federal regulations in the United States require pipeline operators to repair pipelines using methods that have been shown to permanently restore the serviceability of the pipeline. While there is some subjectivity in determining what constitutes permanent, this seems to imply that the expected hfe of the repair should be equal to the expected life of the pipeline. While the long-term performance of steel is well established, the long-term performance of composite materials on buried pipelines beyond about 20—25 years has not yet been demonstrated. Unlike steel, the

If larger particles are used in a moving-bed reactor, there is some sacrifice over temperature control and fluid-solid exchange. However, the pressure drop is much less than in bubbling fluidized beds, and erosion by particles is largely avoided. Furthermore, the fluid-solid contacting is close to ideal, and so performance is enhanced. 

In fast-fluidized beds, which use extremely small catalyst particles, the flow of particles and fluid is cocurrent, and nearly PF, leading to high conversion and selectivity. However, severe erosion of equipment is common, and thus, the design of the solids recovery and recirculation system is important. 

As hydrogen fluoride functions with equal ease in alkylation with olefins, alkyl halides, or alcohols, and in acylation with acids, acid anhydrides as well as acyl halides, a wide choice of reagents is possible and a separate operation of the reconversion of them is often saved. With aluminum chloride the alkyl halides and acyl halides are the preferred reagents and frequently must be made from more plentiful, cheaper, and readily available substances. 

The advantages for the use of hydrogen fluoride for large scale commercial use were appreciated before any industrial processes were in operation (Simons, 22). Due to the fact that it is a liquid with a low 

In this chapter reference has been made to a few issued patents but many do not appear in the bibliography. Practically all the issued patents involving the use of hydrogen fluoride as a catalyst are for details of equipment design or operation, and no chemical principles are involved. The number of these patents has now become very large.

The mechanical properties of biofibers as compared to conventional synthetic fibers are shown in Table 10.3 and it can be seen that the biofibers compare well with glass fibers, but are not as strong as either aramid or carbon fibers. However, the density of glass fibers is higher than those of biofibers. Therefore, in terms of specific properties, some biofibers are comparable to glass fibers on stiffness basis. They, however, have lower specific tensile strength than glass fibers. 

In general, increasing the biofiber content in the biocomposites increases the composite s stiffness, strength, impact resistance, and 

Due to its specific properties, the extruder has certain advantages as a reactor for polymerization and modification reactions  

However, there are also certain restrictions to the use of extruders as polymerization reactors, and also to the type of extruder that can be used  

The different approaches for preparing libraries of molecules each have distinct advantages and disadvantages over one another. 

Solution- and solid-phase syntheses are two very different methods for performing reactions. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Neither is universally better than the other, although both techniques have ardent supporters. A more balanced view is that

A major advantage of solution-phase synthesis is that it is the de facto standard. Over 150 years of chemical literature outlines solution-phase methodology. Furthermore, all chemists are initially trained as students in solution-phase chemistry. Laboratories are all equipped with solution-phase equipment. The advantage of dominance will probably decrease slightly over time as more solid-phase chemistry is reported in the literature. 

Solution-phase chemistry is simpler than solid-phase. Solid-phase synthesis has two extra variables the resin and linker. Unwanted reactions on either can cause major problems. The reactivity of the resin, normally polystyrene, is typically very low and not a major concern. Linkers, however, are designed to be broken, so they must have some level of reactivity. The cleavage conditions must be strictly avoided during all the synthetic steps. Because photochemical reactions are uncommon in mainstream synthesis, photo-chemically labile linkers are attractive in solid-phase synthesis. 

In general, there is not an upper mass limit to the proteins that can be analyzed using the ESI-MS-based methodology. However, successful application of the ESI-MS-based methodology does require that the requisite histidine-containing peptides be successfully detected and identified in the ESI-MS readout. In some cases, signal suppression issues associated with the ESI-MS readout can preclude measurements of specific histidine residues in a protein. Accurate value determina- 

If you pick a safety tool that is not quite appropriate to the application, you still have not erred significantly. All of the techniques are comprehensive analyses. 

System Safety Engineering and Risk Assessment A Practical Approach 

The real problem is that the results may not give you sufficient data to solve your safety problems efficiently. Performing hazard analyses on a power plant operation without looking at how the human operators interact is one such example. You also may spend more time and money than you really needed to spend. 

To decide which tool or tools to use, first ask yourself a few questions and then refer to Table 9.1. 

Do not hesitate to combine some of these tools. For example, when doing a hazard analysis or HAZOP, add a hnman factors analysis (as a subset of the overall hazard analysis) if hnman operators play a significant role. Or, if the HAZOP has identified particularly dangerous deviations of the process resulting from a failure in the system, do an FMEA or fault tree analysis of just that critical subsystan. 

In general, fluidized beds are of special interest when a high degree of gas to solid contact coupled with large throughput of gas at fairly low pressure drop is needed. 

Comparing the fluidized bed and fixed bed reactor investment costs, physical characteristics and operation performance the important advantages and disadvantages of fluidized beds relative to fixed beds can be summarized as follows.

Both these approaches have advantages and disadvantages. 

Figure 9.18 provides an overview of the application envelope and the respective advantages and disadvantages of the various artificial lift techniques. As can be seen, only a few methods are suited for high rate environments gas lift, ESP s, and hydraulic systems. Beam pumps are generally unsuited to offshore applications because of the bulk of the required surface equipment. Whereas the vast majority of the world s artificially lifted strings are beam pumped, the majority of these are stripper wells producing less than 10 bpd. 

In the final section, we will survey the different theoretical approaches for the treatment of adsorbed molecules on surfaces, taking the chemisorption on transition metal surfaces, a particularly difficult to treat yet extremely relevant surface problem [1], as an example. Wliile solid state approaches such as DFT are often used, hybrid methods are also advantageous. Of particular importance in this area is the idea of embedding, where a small cluster of surface atoms around the adsorbate is treated with more care than the surroundmg region. The advantages and disadvantages of the approaches are discussed. 

The advantages and disadvantages of single analyzers need to be examined within the context for which they will be used rather than for their overall attributes. For example, a simple quadrupole,... 

The process can be operated in two modes co-fed and redox. The co-fed mode employs addition of O2 to the methane/natural gas feed and subsequent conversion over a metal oxide catalyst. The redox mode requires the oxidant to be from the lattice oxygen of a reducible metal oxide in the reactor bed. After methane oxidation has consumed nearly all the lattice oxygen, the reduced metal oxide is reoxidized using an air stream. Both methods have processing advantages and disadvantages. In all cases, however, the process is mn to maximize production of the more desired ethylene product. 

Description, Acquisition, Retrieval, and Correlation File. This is the only other pubhc substmcture search system, apart from CAS Online, that provides full access to the CAS Chemical Registry File. The DARC file, commercially available on-line from Telesystems-Questel, offered the first pubhc on-line implementation of substmctural searching of the CAS Chemical Registry System. The advantages and disadvantages of the CAS Online and DARC systems have been discussed (49). 

CVD reactors can have one of several configurations. Each has particular advantages and disadvantages. Reactors that support wafers horizontally have difficulty controlling the deposition uniformity over all the exposed wafers. Reactors having vertical wafer support produce uniform deposition, but are mechanically complex. Barrel reactors are not suited for extended operation at temperatures greater than 1200°C. 

Modulation contrast, like DIG, is a shearing method with the same advantages and disadvantages except that interference colors are absent with modulation contrast. The resolution, in spite of the restricted condenser aperture, is certainly not reduced. If anything, resolution seems to be improved and the images obtained have an excellent quaUty, especially in regard to contrast, one not seen with any other technique except the much more expensive video-enhanced imaging. 

Since the development of the Spansule brand (Smith Kline Beech am) of coated beads and granules in the late 1960s, various dmg product technologies have been developed and patented to achieve extended durations of therapeutic effects. Each of these does so by various mechanisms of control of dmg release from adrninistered dosage forms. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages, a discussion of which is available in the pharmaceutical hterature (see Drug delivery systems) (21). 

In general, pilot-plant space can be divided into five basic types separate buildings, containment cells or barricades, open bays, walk-in hoods, and laboratory areas. A summary of the advantages and disadvantages of each has been given (1). 

Further information on the different systems including a more detailed discussion of thek costs, advantages, and disadvantages is available (1,39,40). Information on actual experience is also available (32,34—36,41—47). 

There are advantages and disadvantages in both processes the solvent process requires no special equipment but uses an excess of benzene whose recovery adds to the cost of the product. The bad mill method uses no excess benzene but requires special equipment which has frequent mechanical problems. 

ChemicalRecope . There are advantages and disadvantages to each of the base systems employed in sulfite pulping (see Table 4). Each has its own potential recovery systems except the calcium system, which is obsolete. Calcium-based Hquors can be burned, but scaling problems are severe, and conversion of the calcium sulfate to CaO is not economical. 

Each heating technique has its advantages and disadvantages, and changing from one technique to another may involve significant changes in the process variables. The cold-waH reactor is most often used in small-size systems. The hot-waH reactor, by contrast, is most often used in large-volume production reactors. 

Electrodialysis. In reverse osmosis pressure achieves the mass transfer. In electro dialysis (qv), dc is appHed to a series of alternating cationic and anionic membranes. Anions pass through the anion-permeable membranes but are prevented from migrating by the cationic permeable membranes. Only ionic species are separated by this method, whereas reverse osmosis can deal with nonionic species. The advantages and disadvantages of reverse osmosis are shared by electro dialysis. 

Fixed-bed reactors have been described in detail and their advantages and disadvantages Hsted (29). It is reported that only one manufacturer uses fixed-bed hydrogenation for fatty acids (29).
