The column inventory also can be reducdd by the use of low-holdup column internals, including the holdup in the column base. As the design progresses, other features can be included to reduce the inventory. Thermosyphon reboilers have a lower inventory than kettle reboilers. Peripheral equipment such as reboilers can be located inside the column. ... 

Here is described the verification of one particular characteristic parameter of one flaw detector, i.e. vertical linearity. The system of verification VERAPUS is connected to peripheral equipment as indicated in figure 2. The dialogue boxes show the operator how to adjust the R.F. signals that are sent by the arbitrary generator to the flaw detector.

Very few incidents occur because of faults in relief valves themselves. When equipment is damaged because the pressure could not be relieved, someone usually finds afterward that the relief valve (or other relief device) had been isolated (see Section 9.2.2 c), wrongly installed (see Section 3.2.1 e), or interfered with in some other way (see Section 9.2.1 c). The following incidents are concerned with the peripherals of relief valves rather than the valves themselves. 

Unauthorized interference with computer hardware is usually difficult, but interference with peripheral equipment may be more serious than on a traditional plant, as the computer will not know that interference has occurred. For example, the leads on a limit switch on a valve were interchanged to carry out some tests. The plant was on manual control at the time but was switched back to computer control before the leads were restored to their coirect positions. The computer thought the valve was open (when it was shut) and elected to close it. It actually opened it, releasing flammable material [2]. 

Although some integration has taken place where the appliance or boilermaker has assumed responsibility for the combustion system, overall, specialist manufacturers of combustion equipment who have developed products for each application such as boilers, furnaces, kilns and dryers, etc. serve the market. The burner makers have manufactured products which provide a packaged solution to the combustion requirement, looking after not just the burners and controls but also the fuel supply system, which may involve pumping, heating of the fuel, filtration and other peripheral equipment and functions.

Ensure that the actual instrument configuration conforms to what is written under Experimental supplier, models, modifications, consumables (HPLC or GC columns, gaskets, etc.), and software for the main instrument, peripherals (injectors, integrators, computers, printers, plotters, etc.), and ancillary equipment (vortexer, dispensers, balances, centrifuges, filters, tubing, etc.).

In distributed systems, each participating site must be equipped with a desktop or a laptop computer loaded with the distributed data collection system software to collect and enter data locally. In addition, each site is provided with necessary storage devices such as tapes, zip diskettes, and CDs and peripheral devices such as printers. Collected data are transferred periodically to the central location as files saved on storage devices, via phone modems, by FTP, or through wireless communications, where they are managed by a centralized data management system. 

The mechanisms by which the taste (and also the olfactory) system senses chemical compounds is assumed to occur by way of a chemoreceptory system that interacts effectively with a broad, structural variety of stimulant molecules, by means of a receptor epithelium consisting of the mosaic of adjacent, peripheral membranes of many receptor cells, exposed to a medium carrying stimulus molecules. A receptor cell is conveniently and, for our present purpose, sufficiently defined as a cell equipped to interact, according to some mechanism, with stimulus molecules, to convert the effect of this interaction into a signal, and to project this signal into the system. The taste receptor is thus a differentiated, epithelial cell synaptically contact-... 

Additionally, the influence of the life time of the micro-structured devices as well as the expenditure of the peripheral equipment was estimated in order to obtain insight into the ecological hot-spots of the system. A conventional macro-scaled semi-continuously operated batch process was chosen as a reference process. The comparison of both technological systems was performed by means of the two-step synthesis of m-anisaldehyde serving as model reaction. 

The peripheral equipment such as control elements, thermostats, distillation equipment and so forth was included into the balance as well, but with the help of rough estimations based on their components or similar apparatuses. This has been done in order to provide a holistic view on its influence, but to reduce the effort of data acquisition. If a relevant influence would occur within the LCIA, the peripheral equipment would be investigated in more detail. 

A certain amount of money must be invested if any product is to be produced. This is referred to as capital. The capital is made up of the fixed capital needed to construct the plant and the working capital needed to operate it. The fixed capital is the cost of building and equipping the plant and all its peripheral buildings and operations. Chapter 9 was devoted to methods for estimating the fixed capital investment.
