Batch process formula

Sometimes the term recipe is used to designate only the raw material amounts and other parameters to be used in manufacturing a batch. Although appropriate for some batch processes, this concept is far too restrictive For others. For some products, the differences from one product to the next are largely physical as opposed to chemical. For such products, the processing instruc tions are especially important. The term formula is more appropriate for the raw material amounts and other parameters, with recipe designating the formula and the processing instruc tions. 

Cyclical hatch. Both the formula and the processing instructions are the same from batch to batch. Batch operations within processes that are primarily continuous often fall into this category. The catalyst regenerator within a reformer unit is a cychcal batch process. 

Batch or Fed-Batch Operation This mode of operation is typical of biologicals and juice processing where high solicfs and low fluxes require multiple passes, and batch operation is characteristic of the manufacturing process. Formulas in Table 20-19 can be used to calculate the required volume reduction factor X, diafiltration volumes... 

The recursive formulas that have been presented exhibit some advantages over classical batch processing. First, they avoid the inversion of the normal coefficient matrix, since we would usually process a few equations at a time. Obviously, when only one equation is involved each time, the inversion degenerates into computing the reciprocal of a scalar. Furthermore, these sequential relationships can also be used to isolate systematic errors that may be present in the data set, as will be shown in the next chapter. 

Mixing. After drying, the soap noodles or flakes are mixed with all additional ingredients required by the final product formula. Mixing is done in batch processes or continuously. These ingredients include dye, perfume, preservatives, deodorants, opacifier, and special purpose items. The type and proportion of these materials is largely what makes one brand of milled soap different from another. 

The first composition will not have a long storage life due to the break down of the gel matrix. The second formula is crossed linked with potassium chromate which will give a storage stable explosive. The density, as mentioned earlier, is critical if cap sensitivity is needed. The manufacturer would have to control this density in a batch by batch process. 

Microsphere Formation. Because the microspheres were fabricated using a batch process, we monitored the viscosity and pH of the catalyst slurry as it aged. Figure 2 shows that the viscosity of the slurry was dependent on both the age of the slurry and the additive type. The reference formula was stable for 3 h, but the CP-alumina and pseudoboehmite formulations thickened or gelled in the same time period. A typical batch starting at pH 3.0 increased to about pH 3.3 before the onset of thickening (about 100 cP). For CP formulations, the onset of thickening may be related to the median particle size of the powder. 

A batch processing record should be kept for each batch processed. It should be based on the relevant parts of the currently approved master formula. The method of... 

Each batch processed is effectively governed by an individually numbered manufacturing order verified by qualified personnel (see section C.02.006 Interpretation 1) and prepared from the master formula by such means as to prevent errors in copying or calculation. 

The term recipe has a range of definitions in batch processing, but in general a recipe is a procedure with the set of data, operations, and control steps required to manufacture a particular grade of product. A formula is the list of recipe parameters, which includes the raw materials, processing parameters, and product outputs. A recipe procedure has operations for both normal and abnormal conditions. Each operation contains resource requests for certain ingredients (and their amounts). The operations in the recipe can adjust set points and turn equipment on and off. The complete production run for a specific recipe is called a campaign (multiple batches). 

Here, similar to the batch process, Ys = Kt / p.iclo represents the intensity of chain transfer to solvent in the fcth reactor, and the conversions are given by formula (3.28).
