Equipment installation

First, we want to offer G335SF in combination with STRUCTURIX SILVERFIX as a viable solution to customers who want to upgrade their existing equipment (installed base processors) in order to decrease the silver content of their rinsing water. 

Induction heating equipment installations can require significant investment in electric power components as well as the work handling equipment made necessary by the process. These costs can be offset by savings in plant space, reduction in metal loss, precise control of product temperature, and reduced in-process inventory. A typical continuous induction heating line consumes about 360 kW h/t heating carbon steel bars to 1230°C. 

Modification of Equipment. (/) Install equipment that produces minimal or no waste. 2) Modify equipment to enhance recovery or recycling options. (I) Redesign equipment or production lines to produce less waste. (4) Improve operating efficiency of equipment. (5) Maintain strict preventive maintenance program. 

Prior to the mid-1970s, the most common type of friction materials in use in brakes and clutches for normal duty for original equipment installations and for the aftermarket were termed organics. These materials usually contained about 30—40 wt % of organic components and were asbestos-based (3). 

The CE Plant Cost Index (7) is also pubHshed monthly in the Chemical Engineering]omaci A. Index values are given for various categories of equipment, installation, labor, building, and supervision, as well as a composite plant cost index. The composite index for complete plant costs, tabulated in Table 1, is frequentiy used for the translation of purchased equipment costs, even though the equipment component of the index would be better. 

In addition to using annuahzed cost comparisons in evaluating an air-poUution-control (APC) equipment installation, the impact of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) and resulting regulations also must be included in the evaluation. The CAAA prescribes specific pollution-control requirements for particular industries and locations. As an example, the CAAA requires that any major stationary source or... 

Unit layout as installed is the next step of preparation. This may take some effort if analysts have not been involvea with the unit prior to the plant-performance analysis. The equipment in the plant should correspond to that shown on the PFDs and P IDs. Wmere differences are found, analysts must seek explanations. While a hne-by-line trace is not required, details of the equipment installation and condition must be understood. It is particularly useful to correlate the sample and measurement locations and the bypasses shown on the P IDs to those ac tuaUy piped in the unit. Gas vents and liquid (particularly water-phase) discharges may have been added to the unit based on operating experience out not shown on the P IDs. While these flows may ultimately be small within the context of plant-performance an ysis, they may have sufficient impact to alter conclusions regarding trace component flows, particularly those that have a tendency to build in a process. 

These are only basic guidelines. It is difficult to define exposed or shielded equipment accurately. Equipment installed indoors may never be subject to lightning strikes or their transferences, but may be exposed to severe switching surges and require surge protection as for an exposed installation. There is no readymade formula by... 

To gather information which will enable selection of appropriate control equipment. If a source test determines that the emission is 3000 mg of particulate per cubic meter and that it has a weight mean size of 5 p.m, a control device must be chosen which will collect enough particulate to meet some required standard, such as 200 mg per cubic meter. (4) To determine the efficiency of control equipment installed to reduce emissions. If a manufacturer supplies a device guaranteed to be 95% efficient for removal of particulate with a weight mean size of 5 /rm, the effluent stream must be sampled at the inlet and outlet of the device to determine if the guarantee has been met. 

Like Bruce, I am here to share the perspective of the field. Shortcut equipment design methods play a major role in process equipment installations. Virtually all process designs employ these methods and shortcut techniques are developed from many sources. 

UltrafiUration is a preferred alternative to the conventional systems of chemical flocculation and coagulation followed by dissolved air flotation. Ultraflltration provides lower capital equipment, installation, and operating costs. 

Equipment described as explosion-proof is equipment installed in enclosures that will withstand internal explosions and also prevent the propagation of flame to the external atmosphere. As the gases generated by the explosion expand, they must be cooled before reaching the surrounding atmosphere. 

Collection equipment installed primarily to prevent public nuisance. 

Exception Equipment installed in a Class I, Division 1 location shall be suitable for the Division 1 location. 

Indoor equipment installed in accordance with Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code,... 

The fault level at the point of supply to the installation requires consideration. The minimum fault level which can occur will affect the operation of the installation, particularly with regard to voltage regulation when starting motors, while the maximum fault level will determine the ratings of equipment installed. All supply systems develop with time, and the switchgear and other equipment installed at an installation must be chosen to be suitable if the external supply system expands. 

In addition to the product, the designer, equipment installer, user, and all others involved in production should all consider performing a risk assessment and target in the direction of perfection. The production is reviewed for hazards created by each part of the line when operating as well as when equipment fails to perform or complete its task. This action includes startups and shutdowns, preventative maintenance, QC/inspection, repair, etc. 

Many of these boilers provide steam for turbines, and it is important that good quality steam be produced. This requires the correct installation of drum internals and selection of the appropriate boiler water conditions. Boilers with only rudimentary drum internals require lower concentrations to be maintained and/or further mechanical separation equipment installed. 

In general, there is no frequent need to design new batch plants. For all the above listed factors deterministic models for plant design will be of limited significance. Plant retrofitting (replacement of equipment, installation of new equipment, and elimination of old equipment) is more often encountered in the field of batch plants. The uncertainty then is much lower than for the design of new plants. 

In addition to the purchased cost of the equipment, investment is required to install the equipment. Installation costs include ... 

The recent US National Fire Code covers all aspects of equipment, installation and safe operational practices necessary for bulk oxygen storage at consumer sites. 

Advanced users bring their own remote-controlled equipment, install it in the beamline and couple it to the data acquisition system of the beamline for automatic recording of environmental parameters.
