Plutonium is processed as a liquid, in highly compact equipment, and therefore expensive floor space is conserved. 

With solid (and particularly polymeric) electrolytes which at the same time function as separators, one can appreciably reduce the distance between the electrodes and hence increase the electrode area per unit of reactor volume. Very compact equipment for water electrolysis which has no liquid electrolyte has been designed. 

Studies involving instrumented compaction equipment can be extremely useful in the development of dosage forms, especially when the amount of drug substance is limited in quantity. Marshall has described a program in which dynamic studies of powder compaction can be used at all stages of the development process to acquire formulation information [63]. The initial experiments include a determination of the intrinsic compactability of the compound. In subsequent work, simple tablets are prepared, and tested for dissolution, potency, and content uniformity. Through studies of the compaction mechanism, it becomes possible to deduce means to improve the formulation under study. 

Land costs, resulting from much higher production capacity and/or number of products per unit of manufacturing area Other investment costs, resulting from cheaper, compact equipment, reduced piping, reduced civic works, integrated processing units, etc. 

One of the major flaws in dry granulation for low-dose products is the granulation efficiency is lower than wet granulation. The material that bypasses the rolls, referred to as bypass, is the source of the incomplete granulation by roller compaction. Equipment factors that affect bypass in the feed system, roller compaction system and mill system are the focus of the discussion below. 

Most solvated electron-treated wastes require posttreatment. The first posttreatment involves removing and recovering ammonia from the matrix. This is accomplished by passing hot water or steam through the jacket of the treatment cell and by condensing the ammonia for reuse. Materials such as shredded paper, wood, plastic, rubber, and PPE can be volume-reduced after the SET treatment by using commercially available compacting equipment. 

The key advantage of a complex column over a sequence of simple columns is more compact equipment with substantial reduction of investment, instrumentation, manpower and maintenance costs. In some cases substantial energy saving is obtained.

Isostatic powder compaction equipment consists of a pressure vessel, means to generate the necessary hydraulic pressure, and related equipment to enable effective and safe machine operation.

PI encompasses not only the development of novel, more compact equipment but also the development of intensified methods of processing, such as the use of alternative energy sources [4]. In addition, one of the objectives of process intensification is to move away from batch processing to small continuous reactors. The better control of the reaction conditions often allows us to improve not only the... 

The relationship of punch force and compaction pressures (measured with compaction equipment) to preformulation characteristics such as compactibil-ity, dissolution rate, content uniformity, tensile strength, and disintegration time has been reported. 

Fig. 6.9-17 is the block diagram of an improved secondary aluminum smelting operation (Section 13.3, ref 132). Compared with earlier installations, the compacting process step has been added. As described above, to render the material suitable for feeding into the compaction equipment, the swarf must be clean and reasonably free flowing. The flowability and, therefore, its metering characteristics depend to a great extent on particle shape, which is influenced by material hardness. Swarf from softer alloys tends to be thicker and spirally wound such material is bulky, interlocks, and...
