Facility line capacity

Facility description. The facility description addresses locations, numbers of employees covered and uncovered in area, specificity of processes and line capacities, etc. 

World production of Bra in 1990 was about 438 000 tonnes pa, i.e. about one-hundredth of the scale of the chlorine industry. The main producing countries are (tonnes) USA 177000, Israel 135 000, Russia 60000, UK 28 000, France 18 000 and Japan 15 000. The production capacity of Israel has recently increased almost threefold because of expanded facilities on the Dead Sea. Historically, bromine was shipped in individual 3-kg (net) bottles to minimize damage due to breakage, but during the 1960s bulk transport in monel metal drums (100-kg capacity) or lead-lined tanks (24 or 48 tonnes) was developed and these are now used for transport by road, rail and ship. The price of Bra in tank-car lots was 975/kg in 1990. 

Saltwater Disposal Expense Savings As previously noted, numerous disposal facilities were in operation before unitization. As part of the operating plan, these disposal facilities were to be expanded and connected to permit shifting disposal volumes around the field for flexibility and maximum use of existing capacity. By centralizing saltwater production at meter sites, five field saltwater disposal stations were shut in, nonunit disposal facilities were eliminated, and 6.4 miles (10.4 km) of disposal line removed from service. Projected savings will amount to more than 80,000/yr. 

As turbine-driven plants generally cost 2-4 million Euro more than similar plants driven by electric motors the selection of drive will reflect the cost of the plant versus capacity as indicated on Figure 17 showing the regression line for LNG plant cost development versus time (year). Likewise, Figure 18 shows the cost development versus the development of LNG train size [10]. The investment may also reflect various requirements for the liquefaction train and necessary support facilities.
