Batch sorting

Pre-Production Handling. Salt-cured catde hides, when received at the tannery, are individually bundled to prevent excessive moisture loss. The bundles are tied with ropes that are later cut and removed the hides may be sorted for different weight or quaUty classification at this point. It is best to have hides of similar size and thickness in a given production batch to assure an even reactivity of the processing chemicals and to avoid frequent adjustments in the machinery to compensate for size and thickness variations. In the modem large tannery, the size/quaUty classification is not necessary because the hides arrive in carload quantities under specifications as to size, type, and month of slaughter. 

E J. Fritz, Ibid 41 CA 72, 113380 (1970) (A detailed investigation was made of a nitration expln, including lab simulation of the event. The expln took place in production of dinitro-benzene in a batch nitrator. The problems of avoiding this sort of expln are detailed)... 

Secondary cell cultures, which can be prepared by taking cells from some types of primary culture, usually those derived from embryonic tissue, dispersing them by treatment with trypsin and inoculating some into a fresh batch of medium. A limited number of subcultures can be performed with these sorts of cells, up to a maximum of about 50 before the cells degenerate. 

The question of how to deal with the kinetics of such coupled processes depends on the sort of reactor employed. We will distinguish two cases, namely the flow reactor and the batch reactor (Fig. 2.4). 

Process data for the same polymer recipe were analyzed for 50 noncon-secutive, sequential batches. As before, the data were preprocessed to remove outliers and sorted to reflect normal operation. The data are sampled at 1-minute intervals during production of each batch. Fillering and normalization of the data is done prior to analysis. The final polymer quality... 

Suppose Table 1-1 represents the yield obtained vs. time for each reactor cycle. If the reactor cycle is 8 hours and produces 15,000 lb of product per batch, then if the cycle time were cut to 5 hours the yield would be 13,250 lb per batch. The rates of production would be 1,875 lb / hr for the former and 2,650 lb / hr for the latter. For a plant operated 8,000 hours per year this would give a production rate of 15,000,000 lb / yr for the former and 21,206,000 lb / yr for the latter. A change of this sort would necessitate no increase in reactor capacity, but it would require changes in the recovery and recycle systems other than those solely due to the increase in capacity. 

Biscuits can be mixed in most sorts of mixer. Continuous and batch mixers are both used. Some of the batch mixers are vertical others are horizontal. It might be thought that, as biscuits are often shaped and baked continuously, a continuous mixer would be essential. In practice, dough can always be mixed faster than it can be used, so a continuous mixer is not essential. 

The scheduling module maintains a master list of all batches and control-recipes and sorts the basic operations of the chronologically next control-recipe by their position in the recipe. In the case of identical starting times a priority which can be specified on the batch level determines the sorting. During the sorting procedure parallel steps in the recipe with all associated basic operations are regarded as one unit. 

In the beginning there is a general loop to decide if more lot sizing procedures should be applied to the existing quant network to meet the constraint of the minimum batch sizes of products. Then the quant network is examined, free usable stocks and free quantities of quants are made available. The material balances of any quant are calculated and decisions are taken whether quants require further explosions of their BOM. Structures for a fast cycle checking, sorting of existing quants and quant links and forecast intervals are built up. A recalculation of the due dates for all quants - also the ones of orders - can be done if specified by the user. 

Although it is often advised not to do, frequently, for practical reasons, experiments are blocked or sorted by one or more factors. " Eor example, when the manufacturer or the batch of the capillary is a factor, it is easier and less time-consuming, when first all experiments are performed with this factor at one level, and afterwards at the other. Usually, the experiments are randomized within one block, wbile a check for drift is recommended, at least before and after each block. These latter experiments also allow observing and correcting occasional block effects. 

Sorting the experiments for organizing reasons or experimental constraints as is proposed in some publications [6,17,19] should preferably be avoided. In some experimental designs it is however too difficult and time-consuming to perform the design in a random order. This is for instance the case when one of the factors is the column manufacturer or batch number of the column . In this case two columns are used and a performance of the design in random order is not really indicated. Experiments performed with the different columns must be grouped. The experiments with each column still can be executed in random order. 

TBR widely used for all sorts of hydrotreatments in petro and commodity chemicals, it is now adopted in finer chemicals. Intermediates hydrogenation includes quinones, sugars, lactones, functional aromatics, etc... Despite continuous operation, small size TBR can be adapted to batch-wise synthesis by multiple recycling of L product. Example trifluoracetic acid hydrogenation [28]. 

The Encore synthesizer has been designed to integrate the process of handling of solid-phase particles in combinatorial synthesis. The current version of the synthesizer enables synthesis in batches of up to 960 compounds on SynPhase Lanterns. The Encore synthesizer facilitates the sorting of Lanterns into sequences (necklace coding) and the plating of the Lanterns after completion of the synthesis for final release of compounds from Lanterns. The Encore synthesizer consists of the following five tools.

Batch procedures can be useful as pre-flow enrichment of the cells of interest. They can also be used as alternatives to flow sorting if the cells of interest can be appropriately selected. Flow sorting, although slow, is generally the only alternative if multiple parameters are required to define the cells of interest, if antigen density on the cell surface is low, or if forward or side scattered light is part of the definition of the desired cells. 

Four batches of the same sort of composite rocket propellant have been cast in a lab. After curing, the experimental rocket motors were static fired at normal temperature. The following burning-rate values at P=70bar pressure have been obtained 14.199 14.531 14.197 14.193. Does the burning-rate value V=14.531mm/s represent the outlier with 95% confidence level ...
