Covering integrals

Box 9.4 covers integration or the bringing together of all modules and sub systems making up the SIS and the testing of the finished product. 

An intermediate casing is usually set above the reservoir in order to protect the water bearing, hydrostatically pressured zones from influx of possibly overpressured hydrocarbons and to guarantee the integrity of the well bore above the objective zone. In mature fields where production has been ongoing for many years, the reservoir may show depletion pressures considerably lower than the hydrostatically pressured zones above. Casing and cementing operations are covered in section 3.6. 

The scope of the directive covers the design, manufacture and conformity assessment of pressure equipment and assemblies with a maximum allowable pressure greater than 0,5 bar. A pressure equipment in the sense of the directive is any vessel, piping, safety accessory or pressure accessory. An assembly means several pieces of pressure equipment assembled by a manufacturer to constitute an integrated and functional whole. It is important to be aware that the directive relates exclusively to the pressure risk and that therefore other directives, such as for machinery, low voltage may be applicable to the equipment concerned. 

Patent databases are therefore integrated databases because facts, text, tables, graphics, and structures are combined. In patents that include chemical aspects (mostly synthesis or processing), the chemical compounds are often represented by Markush structures (see Chapter 2, Section 2.7.1). These generic structures cover many compound families in a very compact maimer. A Markush structure has a core structure diagram with specific atoms and with variable parts (R-groups), which are defined in a text caption. The retrieval of chemical compounds from Markush structures is a complicated task that is not yet solved completely satisfactorily.

As PWB technology is refined to provide greater integration using finer conductor lines, there is renewed interest in hquid resists. The absence of a cover sheet and the abihty to apply thinner films both contribute to improved resolution and to an intrinsically lower consumables cost (16,17).

Plastic dmms are made with either integral or removable heads, depending on the need of the customer. The chemical industry is more likely to use integral or tight-head dmms, whereas the food industry is prone to use open-head dmms to which separate covers can be fastened. The choice between these two styles often is deterrnined by the requirement for cleaning the dmm interior. 

Almost 40 years later the Lummus Co. patented an integrated process involving the addition of chlorine along with the sodium chloride and sodium hydroxide from the cathode side of an electrolytic cell to a tertiary alcohol such as tertiary butanol to produce the tertiary alkyl hypochlorite. The hypochlorite phase separates, and the aqueous brine solution is returned to the electrolytic cells. The alkyl hypochlorite reacts with an olefin in the presence of water to produce a chlorohydrin and the tertiary alcohol, which is returned to the chlorinator. With propylene, a selectivity to the chlorohydrin of better than 96% is reported (52). A series of other patents covering this technology appeared during the 1980s (53—56).
