Appropriate Methods

Outside assistance may be justified for conducting the upgrading program. Determining Appropriate Methods 

It is generally better to evaluate each upgrading method separately and then to determine how the individual techniques could be combined obtain the maximum savings and return on investment.

When considering secondary or enhanced oil recovery, it is important to establish where the remaining oil lies. Figure 8.21 shows an example of where the remaining oil may be, and the appropriate method of trying to recover it. The proportions are only an example, but such a diagram should be constructed for a specific case study to identify the target oil . 

A container full of hydrocarbons can be described in a number of ways, from a simple measurement of the dimensions of the container to a detailed compositional analysis. The most appropriate method is usually determined by what you want to do with the hydrocarbons. If for example hydrocarbon products are stored in a warehouse prior to sale the dimensions of the container are very important, and the hydrocarbon quality may be completely irrelevant for the store keeper. However, a process engineer calculating yields of oil and gas from a reservoir oil sample will require a detailed breakdown of hydrocarbon composition, i.e. what components are present and in what quantities.

The application of density functional theory to isolated, organic molecules is still in relative infancy compared with the use of Hartree-Fock methods. There continues to be a steady stream of publications designed to assess the performance of the various approaches to DFT. As we have discussed there is a plethora of ways in which density functional theory can be implemented with different functional forms for the basis set (Gaussians, Slater type orbitals, or numerical), different expressions for the exchange and correlation contributions within the local density approximation, different expressions for the gradient corrections and different ways to solve the Kohn-Sham equations to achieve self-consistency. This contrasts with the situation for Hartree-Fock calculations, wlrich mostly use one of a series of tried and tested Gaussian basis sets and where there is a substantial body of literature to help choose the most appropriate method for incorporating post-Hartree-Fock methods, should that be desired.

Designing an experimental procedure involves selecting an appropriate method of analysis based on established criteria, such as accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and detection limit the urgency with which results are needed the cost of a single analysis the number of samples to be analyzed and the amount of sample available for... 

Selecting an appropriate method helps ensure that an analysis is accurate. It does not guarantee, however, that the result of the analysis will be sufficient to solve the problem under investigation or that a proposed answer will be correct. These latter concerns are addressed by carefully collecting the samples to be analyzed. 

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) authorizes control over hazardous and potentially hazardous substances and validates appropriate methods of analysis, many of which require GC/MS. 

The use of UV spectroscopy as an identification method is continuously decreasing in relative importance compared to the use of NMR or mass spectrometry. However, due to the general validity of Beer s law, it continues to be an appropriate method for quantitative studies such as the measurement of ionization constants (Section 4.04.2.1.3(iv) and (v)) and the determination of tautomeric equilibrium constants (Section 4.04.4.1.5). 

The candidate tollers security policy should emphasize the importance of protecting people, property and the operational practices against loss by intentional destruction or theft. During the site visit, check to see if appropriate methods are taken to control entiy and movement of people and vehicles as a security measure. One telltale sign is that you may be denied access to an area because of another company s confidential process. Though an interference, it affirms a sound security practice. Determine whether security inspections are being held during off-duty hours. 

The toller and their client can work together to identify the appropriate method and detail required for the process hazard analysis. Consider adding a brief statement in the final PHA report documenting why the method was selected. 

The improvement of the quality of a design is seen as the primary need of industry, but to facilitate this we need appropriate methods for predicting quality and evaluating the long-term quality of an engineer s design (Morup, 1993 Russell and Taylor, 1995 Shah, 1998 Taguchi et al., 1989). However, there is relatively little work... 

Several manual and continuous analytical techniques are used to measure SO2 in the atmosphere. The manual techniques involve two-stage sample collection and measurement. Samples are collected by bubbling a known volume of gas through a liquid collection medium. Collection efficiency is dependent on the gas-liquid contact time, bubble size, SO2 concentration, and SO2 solubility in the collection medium. The liquid medium contains chemicals which stabilize SO2 in solution by either complexation or oxidation to a more stable form. Field samples must be handled carefully to prevent losses from exposure to high temperatures. Samples are analyzed at a central laboratory by an appropriate method.

This chapter covers the design of facilities to handle equipment drainage and contaminated aqueous effluents that are sent for appropriate disposal blowdown drum systems to receive closed safety valve discharges, emergency vapor blowdowns, etc. and facilities for process stream diversion and slop storage. Also covered are criteria for selecting the appropriate method of disposal. Design of flares is covered in a subsequent chapter. 

The subject matter of quality objectives is prescribed by the quality policy to some extent. Hence an appropriate method would be to derive one or more statements of objectives from each statement in the quality policy. If you adopt the eight quality management principles as your framework, having eight groups of quality objectives would not be unreasonable (see previously under Subject matter for quality policy). 

The standard requires the supplier to apply the appropriate methods to identify special characteristics, to include these characteristics in the control plan, and to comply with any specific definitions and symbols the customer may use. 

The standard requires the supplier to stipulate appropriate methods for authorizing receipt and the dispatch to and from storage areas. 

The standard requires the supplier to apply appropriate methods for preservation and segregation of product when such product is under the supplier s control. 

In this review we put less emphasis on the physics and chemistry of surface processes, for which we refer the reader to recent reviews of adsorption-desorption kinetics which are contained in two books [2,3] with chapters by the present authors where further references to earher work can be found. These articles also discuss relevant experimental techniques employed in the study of surface kinetics and appropriate methods of data analysis. Here we give details of how to set up models under basically two different kinetic conditions, namely (/) when the adsorbate remains in quasi-equihbrium during the relevant processes, in which case nonequilibrium thermodynamics provides the needed framework, and (n) when surface nonequilibrium effects become important and nonequilibrium statistical mechanics becomes the appropriate vehicle. For both approaches we will restrict ourselves to systems for which appropriate lattice gas models can be set up. Further associated theoretical reviews are by Lombardo and Bell [4] with emphasis on Monte Carlo simulations, by Brivio and Grimley [5] on dynamics, and by Persson [6] on the lattice gas model.

Determination of the drug substance is expected to be enantioselective, and this may be achieved by including a chiral assay in the specification or an achiral assay together with appropriate methods of controlling the enantiomeric impurity. For a drug product where racemization does not occur during manufacture or storage, an achiral assay may suffice. If racemization does happen, then a chiral assay should be used or an achiral method combined with a validated procedure to control the presence of the other enantiomer. 

If repairs are not performed by the manufacturer, such repairs should be made in accordance with methods or procedures approved by the manufacturer. Minor cracks or defects, which may be removed without influence on safety or operation of the equipment, can be removed by grinding or filing. Following repair, the part should again be inspected by an appropriate method to ensure that the defect has been completely removed. 

Important factors which must be taken into account when selecting an appropriate method of analysis include (a) the nature of the information which is sought, (b) the size of sample available and the proportion of the constituent to be determined, and (c) the purpose for which the analytical data are required. 

Some information relevant to the choice of appropriate methods is given in condensed form in Table 1.1, which is divided into three sections the classical techniques a selection of instrumental methods some non-destructive methods.
