Design feasibility study

Every product between its discovery and its elimination passes through many different steps throughout its history conception, design, feasibility studies, market studies, manufacturing, distribution, use, and elimination, the ultimate step, where from functional product, it becomes a waste product [1],... 

Compact power conversion system with low cost and high thermal efficiency High-speed gas turbine system with vertical single shaft rotor Design feasibility study has been conducted. R D is required. 

Having defined and gathered data adequate for an initial reserves estimation, the next step is to look at the various options to develop the field. The objective of the feasibility study is to document various technical options, of which at least one should be economically viable. The study will contain the subsurface development options, the process design, equipment sizes, the proposed locations (e.g. offshore platforms), and the crude evacuation and export system. The cases considered will be accompanied by a cost estimate and planning schedule. Such a document gives a complete overview of all the requirements, opportunities, risks and constraints. 

When an oil or gas field has just been discovered, the quality of the information available about the well stream may be sparse, and the amount of detail put into the process design should reflect this. However, early models of the process along with broad cost estimates are needed to progress, and both design detail and cost ranges narrow as projects develop through the feasibility study and field development planning phases (see Section 12.0 for a description of project phases). 

Types and Accuracy of Estimates Capital-cost estimates may be required for a variety of reasons, among others to enable feasibility studies to be carried out, to enable a manufacturing company to select from alternative investments, to assist in selection from alternative designs, to provide information for planning the appropriation of capital, and to enable a contractor to bid on a new project. It is therefore essential to achieve the greatest accuracy of estimation with a minimum expenditure of time and money. 

The transformed variables describe the system composition with or without reaction and sum to unity as do Xi and yi. The condition for azeotropy becomes X, = Y,. Barbosa and Doherty have shown that phase and distillation diagrams constructed using the transformed composition coordinates have the same properties as phase and distillation region diagrams for nonreactive systems and similarly can be used to assist in design feasibility and operability studies [Chem Eng Sci, 43, 529, 1523, and 2377 (1988a,b,c)]. A residue curve map in transformed coordinates for the reactive system methanol-acetic acid-methyl acetate-water is shown in Fig. 13-76. Note that the nonreactive azeotrope between water and methyl acetate has disappeared, while the methyl acetate-methanol azeotrope remains intact. Only... 

In most cases, available methods are incomplete or unreliable, and some supporting experimental work is necessary The methods given here shomd allow theoretical feasibility studies, help minimize experimentation, and permit a measure of optimization in final design. 

A feasibility study aimed at automating the assembly of trim serews on a ear headlight design revealed diffieulties in handling the eomponents and the assembly proeesses -eomplex assembly strueture, eomplex aeeess, turnover operation and automation problems. 

Preliminary (approximate) estimates, accuracy typically 30 per cent, which are used in initial feasibility studies and to make coarse choices between design alternatives. They are based on limited cost data and design detail. 

All DAFs are similar to each other in terms of theory, principles, design, operation, and secondary flotation performance. The authors select the circular DAF process equipment manufactured by KEC for the purpose of feasibility studies. The users should contact more than one major DAF and DAFF manufacturers for appropriate pilot plant demonstrations and cost comparisons. Rectangular DAF and DAFF clarifiers are as good as circular DAF and DAFF clarifiers.

In a 1997 estimate provided by the vendor, the cost of permeable barrier installed during one year that operates for approximately 20 years would be about 682,000. This estimate was prepared for the Denver Creek site, in the Coeur d Alene district of Idaho. The apatite was assumed to cover a depth of about 5 yd, and the emplacement trench was assumed to be approximately 30 yd across and 8 yd thick. The flow rate through the site was estimated to be 2 ft /sec. For this estimate, design costs were determined to be 48,000 feasibility study costs 110,000 health and safety costs were estimated to be 112,000 the cost of the apatite was placed at 210,000 and monitoring well emplacement and operation, including samples... 

Before process options can be selected, site characterization and feasibility studies must determine key chemical, physical, and microbiological properties of the site. The objectives of these initial studies are to identify rate-limiting factors for later field applications and to obtain kinetic and equilibrium data for process design. 

A feasibility study is necessary after the remedial investigation to make sure the proper remedial action has been selected. Once that has been completed, the USEPA publishes a Superfund Record of Decision (ROD), which describes the remedial action selected. The next step is the remedial design/ remedial action phase, which can include ...
