Confirmation runs

The conditions closest to the desired specifications were 5 passes at 6000 psi. A confirmation run was conducted separately to verify the appropriate conditions. Table V illustrates the results of the confirmation run and confirms that the condition chosen produces product which is in our target range (see assay procedures) and produces product similar to the standard method used to manufacture ImuVert.

Step 9. Perform confirmation runs and/or replicate the experiment. This is an extremely important part of the DOE process. As the scope of the experimentation work... 

Depending on the situation, confirmation runs may be done prior to validation runs. Or, if you re feeling really good about the data and your understanding of the process, the validation runs (per the written protocol) may be the confirmation runs for the DOE. Remember, validation should always be just a confirmation of what you already know. Thus, you should almost never fail a validation study. Right ... 

Finally, the validation work may be performed for this process. This would most likely consist of repeating the 2 full-factorial design mentioned earlier along with three process validation runs at nominal conditions for all factors. The process validation runs would essentially be confirmation runs of the actual process to be used in future commercial manufacturing. Of course, all of these experiments would be based on an approved protocol and would have to yield acceptable data compared with the product specifications.

We have purchased and installed molding machines for our production quality control and our application and development labs. They are 28 ton machines, all with identical design, and operate well with a charge of about one pound. We are in the process of making confirmation runs and fine tuning the test method accordingly. We are also working on some correlation studies with our customers. 

The stability of the analyte(s) in matrix during extended freezer storage should be determined by analyzing stored stability QC samples at appropriately selected time intervals and at temperatures that reflect the intended storage conditions and anticipated storage periods for study samples. For many applications, the compound is determined to be stable as long as the calculated concentration of the analyte is within 15 % of the nominal concentration, or the concentration that was established for the same batch of QCs when analyzed immediately after preparation (time zero). Freshly prepared QC samples, or QC samples prepared and stored within an established period of stability, should be used as analytical QCs in the same set that the stability QCs are analyzed to confirm run acceptance. If the analytical QC samples do not meet assay acceptance criteria, the run should be rejected and the stability interval should be repeated. Incurred samples or sample pools may also be analyzed for assessment of stability in a similar manner. 

The number and shape of the grid blocks in the model depend upon the objectives of the simulation. A 100 grid block model may be sufficient to confirm rate dependent processes described in the previous section, but a full field simulation to be used to optimise well locations and perforation intervals for a large field may contain up to 100,000 grid blocks. The larger the model, the more time consuming to build, and slower to run on the computer. 

Boil 5 ml. (5-1 g.) of benzonitrile and 75 ml. of 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide in a 200 ml. flask under a reflux water condenser until no more oily drops of unchanged nitrile run down from the condenser (usually about 40 minutes). Th detach the condenser and boil the solution in the open flask for a few minutes to remove free ammonia, Cool the liquid, and add concentrated hydrochloric acid cautiously until precipitation of benzoic acid is complete. Cool the mixture again thoroughly, filter off the benzoic acid at the pump, and wash well with cold water. Yield, 5 8 g. (almost theoretical). Confirm the identity of the benzoic acid by the tests given on p. 347. The benzoic acid obtained in this way should be pure and have m.p. 121 a portion may if desired be recrystallised from hot water. 

This is illustrated by running examp64h.m, which confirms the values given in Figure 6.23, when K = A. 

Obtain all available information about the material. If it is a surplus or off-specification product, obtain an analysis or a Material Safety Data Sheet. If it is a waste, check for previous analyses, and if none exists, obtain one. (Even if a previous analysis exists, consider running a few screening-type field analyses for confirmation of important properties such as pH, redox potential, or other oxidizer test such as cyanide, sulfide, and flashpoint.)... 

In order to specify the proper electronic state, ozone calculations should be performed as unrestricted calculations, and the keyword Gue s=Mix should always be included. This keyword tells the program to mix the HOMO and LUMO within the wavefunction in an effort to destroy a-P and spatial symmetries, and it is often useful in producing a UHF wavefunction for a singlet system. Running a UHF GuesssMix Stable calculation confirms that the resulting wavefunction is stable, and it predicts the same energy (-224.34143 hartrees) as the previous Stable=Opt calculations. 

Optimize the geometry of this system at the Hartree-Fock level, using the STO-3G minimal basis set and the 6-31G(d) basis set (augmented as appropriate). Run a frequency calculation following each optimization in order to confirm that you have found an equilibrium structure. 

If we add the narrowband information acquired from the Hoffman blower, we find that the vertical data is primarily at the true running speed of the common shaft. This confirms that a deflection of the shaft exists. No other machine component or failure mode is contributing to the problem. The horizontal measurements indicate that the bladepass, bearing defect and misalignment narrowbands are the major contributors. 

In the previous examples, the feed characterizing correlations in Chapter 2 are used to determine composition of the feedstock. The results show that the feedstock is predominantly paraffinic (i.e., 61.6% paraffins. 19.9% naphthenes, and 18.5% aromatics). Paraffinic feedstocks normally yield the most gasoline with the least octane. This confirms the relatively high FCC gasoline yield and low octane observed in the test run. This is the kind of information that should be included in the report. Of course, the effects of other factors, such as catalyst and operating parameters, will also affect the yield structure and will be discussed. 

Test temperature. Tests should be run at a minimum of three temperatures and preferably four to confirm the linear relation between the logarithm of life and the reciprocal of absolute temperature. Several samples are necessary to plot the results of changes occurring versus time for each testing temperature. The time available and the accuracy of the extrapolation desired determine the lowest test temperature. Usually the most desirable lowest temperature is one that will give results in about 1,000-2,000 h (6-12 weeks). 

Tests 2 and 3 were run in the same reactor as Test 1. In order to confirm the initial activity, the catalyst was started up without added sulfur. The catalyst picked up sulfur in both these tests and was deactivated even though no sulfur was added to the feed this indicates that sulfur remained in the reactor after Test 1. This is a common problem encountered when working with sulfur in laboratory test reactors. The sulfur reacts with the steel walls of the reactor. Then, even though sulfur is removed from the feed, sulfur evolves from the walls of the reactor and it is either picked up by the catalyst or it appears in the effluent from the reactor. With continuous addition of sulfur, the CO leakage continues to increase. 

Good confirmation of these figures is given in Ref. 111. In this evaluation, a sulfosuccinate was run both in the Zein test and in the RBC test. With both results the sulfosuccinate is described as the second best compatible surfactant after a high molecular weight protein fatty acid condensate.
