These considerations clearly show the advantage of the DIR concept. Independent of the pre-treatment of the feed gas, the application of DIR always leads to a high degree of fuel utilization. As shown here, the steady-state anode model and the representation of its solutions in the conversion diagram are useful tools for evaluation and comparison of different process configurations.

In Germany, production plants for extracts, e.g. hop extract, are operated with subcritical separation (Figure 6). In these plants, heat recovery measures may significantly reduce the energy consumption. Energy calculations were performed for the example of a SCF extraction plant for processing 15 t hops/24 h with extraction at 300 bar and 60 C, separation at 60 bar and 40 C, a specific solvent mass flow of 10 kg CO2 / (h kg. hops) and an extraction time of 4 h. A comparison of different process variants for... 

Cure pressure for woven CFRP epoxy was varied in three steps (0.69, 0.31 and 0.10 MPa) by Li and Crosky [72] and affected physical and mechanical properties, including the interlaminar fracture toughness of the laminates. A comparison of different processes (autoclave versus proprietary Quickstep ) for a unidirectional CFRP epoxy (T800H/3900-2) indicated similar quasi-static mode I values (554 and 527 J/m, respectively) but a significantly increased fatigue performance for the latter [73]. 

In the formulation of new processes and new methods of analysis and in the comparison of different processes and methods of analysis the use of statistics is especially important. Research on methods often involves comparison of two or more methods in different locations using different operators who perform the analysis. In this case, statistical tools are available which make it possible to compare these methods and processes in terms of statistical differences and to conclude finally that there actually is, or is not, a real advantage in one or another procedure when it is carried on under carefully stated conditions. If statistical methods are not used in making these comparisons, reliance must be placed usually in experience and in intuitive processes, in which case the amount of confidence which may be placed in the results is usually in considerable doubt. 

Initially, the combined model was huge, containing more than 1.2 million non-zero terms in its matrix of variables. To allow the model to run in a reasonable amount of time on a Pentium III computer, we made some simplifications. In the reduced model, the four catalyst bed models are still fully rigorous. However, the hydrogen furnaces are represented with a heat-exchanger model, quench valves are modeled with mixers, a component splitter model is used for the wash-water system, and a group of component splitters is used for the fractionation section. These changes reduce the number of equations and non-zeros to 130,000 and 680,000 respectively. Despite these simplifications, the slimmed-down model remains, in our collective opinion, a useful tool for offline what-if studies and for economic comparisons of different process options.

The TCP approach is relatively simple and can be easily applied to studies involving comparisons of different equipments, different processes, or even parts of processes. CCP has now emerged as the most realistic approach that can be employed in economic project analyses. It is the recommended procedure for pollution-prevention studies. The LCC approach is usually applied to the life-cycle analysis (LCA) of a product or seiwice. It has found occasional application in projec t analysis. 

The foregoing comparison of different valve arrangements for both full main air blower trains and TPG trains emphasizes its importance. The range of desired regenerator control, expected modes of operation, and system constraints all influence the choice of valve aiTangements. The selected arrangement depends on safety consciousness, cost considerations, and desired process flexibility. 

In addition to the comparison of different stages of process development during scale up, the evaluation of alternative syntheses or processes using mass indices and environmental factors or LCA may reveal the lack of resource efficiency and thus call into question the current mode of operation. Decisions that were made in earlier stages of scale-up may then be revised.

Friability tests can be used for various purposes. They are widely used in quality control. Here, samples of produced material are subjected to a more or less arbitrary but well defined stress. The attrition extent is assessed by comparison with a standard value and a decision is reached whether the material meets the standard. Moreover, friability tests are often used for comparison of different materials to select the most attrition-resistant one. This is a usual procedure in the case of catalyst development. For example, Contractor et al. (1989) tested anew developed fluidized bed VPO-catalyst in a submerged-jet attrition test (described below). Furthermore, the specific attrition rate of a material in a certain process can be roughly estimated by friability tests. In this case the stress must be similar to that occurring in the process and the obtained degradation extent must be compared with those of other materials from which the process attrition rate is known.

Figure 15 presents a qualitative comparison of different oxidation types on histidine ACW. Hence, the ACP cannot be seen to be characteristic for antioxidant defense, but more likely it is a feature of prehistory connected with the free-radical processes, reflecting the degree of oxidative stress. 

The increase in either the availability of reliable on-line measurements or the knowledge of the biological phenomena has allowed the development and validation of different control approaches. One of the first and very interesting works focused in the comparison of different control schemes when applied to AD processes was done by Heinzle et ah, 1993 [10]. However, at that time, only 15 control applications were referenced, out of which 6 were done without experimental validation (i.e., numerical simulations). In addition, except two... 

This analysis corresponds to a comparison of different two-step processes characterized by identical kinetics of the first redox step and different kinetics of the second one. For log(o)i) = -3.5 (curve 1 in Fig. 2.66), 0)2 exhibits no influence on the net peak current, whereas for log(o)i) = -1 (curve 2 in Fig. 2.66) the effect is very week. Over the interval log(o)i) < -3.5 limiting conditions are reached and kinetics of the overall reaction is solely controlled by the first redox step, which is slow and electrochemically irreversible. 

Fig. 3. Cost comparison of different routes to 1,3-propanediol [74], Production costs for the chemical processes and glucose route are based on estimations from ChemSystems. Estimations for the glycerol processes are based on US market prices of raw materials in 1998 and a production scale of 65,000 t/a. The energy costs for the glucose process are assumed to be the same as the fed-batch glycerol process...
