Design aspects

Gluconic acid (P) may be produced by the oxidation of glucose (G) in a batch reactor. The reactor is provided with a continuous supply of oxygen and an intermittent supply of glucose at fixed intervals. The reaction is C6H120 (G) + j02 C6H1207(P), and is 

Since oxygen is a substrate, Vmax and Km are functions of the oxygen concentration co2 which is fixed by Po2 in the continuously flowing gas phase. At low values of CG, the reaction is pseudo-first-order with respect to glucose, and (A) simplifies to 

Suppose a 100-L reactor, operated isothermally, initially contains 0.050 moles of glucose, and 0.045 moles of fresh glucose is added to the reactor every 144 h for 30 d. 

The number of 144-h intervals in 30 d is 24(30)/144 = 5. During each interval, the reaction follows pseudo-first-order kinetics. Thus, from equation (B) and the material balance, equation 2.2-10, applied to glucose, 

At the conclusion of each interval of 144 h, the glucose is replenished by addition of fresh glucose. For each interval, i = 1, 2,.. . , 5, from integration of equation (C), 

Especially in large components made from thermosetting molding materials and exposed to weathering and/or chemical loads (wind power rotors, sailboats, flue gas scrubbers, etc.), resistance to surface attack is ensured by protective coatings. 

Among protective coats we distinguish between liners, chemical protective layers, gel coats, and non-woven layers  

Chemicals that protect elastomers against various damaging external influences are called anti-aging agents or also antidegradants. Products added by the manufacturer to protect the storage stability of crude rubber are called stabilizers by contrast. 

The term antioxidant refers only to oxygen and in some cases temperature influence the designation antiozonant refers only to ozone influence. The term antifatigue agent is also used, because there are products with antioxidant function that also protect against dynamically induced crack formation without being anti-ozonants [229]. 

Practical experience shows that effective protection against aging influences can be achieved only by a few classes of substances. It is left to the material developer s talent to identify the optimum aging protectors and/or their optimum combination for the particular application case [229]. 

Nonwoven geotextiles are produced mechanically or chemically, or by heat-bonding fibers together to form a stable network. Nonwoven geotextiles have higher flexibility and movement than do woven geotextiles. Because of this, they are ideal for use in separation applications where the earthen base may have irregularities to which the nonwoven can mold. The thickness and puncture resistance of a 

It is important to ensure that the test methods, frequencies, and values that are specified for geotextiles on a project are up-to-date. American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) test methods are reviewed at least every 4 years. They may also be updated, created, or abandoned more frequentiy for newer test protocols. It is important that any specification that is provided to a manufacturer reflect the current state of practice for the industry. The specification of obsolete test methods can increase the lead time for the approval of material, increase testing costs, or increase material costs if, for example, a heavier geotextile than current industry standards is required to meet the older requirements.

Continuous Saponification Systems. A relatively recent innovation in the production of soap, these systems have led to improved manufacturing efficiency and considerably shorter processing times. There are a number of commercial systems available even though these systems are different in design aspects or specific operations, they all saponify fats and oils to finished soap using the same general process (Fig. 3). 

The major water desalination processes that ate currendy in use or in advanced research stages are described herein. Information on detailed modeling can be found in the Hterature cited. The major texts on water desalination written since the 1980s are those by Spiegler and Laird (47), Khan (48), which contains many practical design aspects, Lior (49) on the measurements and control aspects, Heitman (40) on pretreatment and chemistry aspects, and Spiegler and El-Sayed (50), an overview primer. Extensive data sources are provided in References 39 and 51. 

A detailed discussion of the isolated phase bus system concentrating on types of isolated enclosures and their design aspects... 

Often in the field, designs must be done quickly, for example, during an unexpected plant shutdown. For such cases, shortcut design methods are invaluable. The field invariably has the best perspective on how designs will perform for startup, shutdown, upset, or offload conditions. Experience factors come into play for field review of these design aspects. 

This chapter has attempted to describe briefly some properties of polymers relevant to product design in terms of molecular behaviour. For in depth consideration the reader should consult more detailed reviews (e.g. refs 4, 5 and 6). There also exist specialist monographs concerned with practical aspects of product design (e.g. refs 7 and 11). Mention should also be made of excellent booklets by materials suppliers (e.g. refs 2 and 8) concerned with design aspects. Some material manufactures now supply comprehensive data books backed by computer data bases for multi-point engineering data (e.g. ref. 12). 

Many of the inherently safer design aspects discussed here appear in Guidelines for Safe Automation of Chemical Processes (CCPS, 1993b). It makes excellent reading for greater depth and treatment of inherently safer/process control concepts.
