General description of the facility

This chapter of the SAR shall include an introduction to the report and general information regarding the research reactor and associated facilities in order to provide an adequate overall picture of the facility. 

In this section, a summary of the principal characteristics of the facility and the site shall be provided. The general arrangement and layout of the facility should be described, starting with the core and continuing with the secondary and tertiary systems to convey an impression of the facility and its components. The features important to operational safety shall be clearly identified. If the facility has novel features or involves unusual approaches to safety analysis, these shall be outlined.

Definition of the Facility - A general description of the facility is identified. Input and outputs to the facility are noted, production, manning, basic process control system (BPCS), ESD, fire protection philosophy, assumptions, hazardous material compositions, etc. 

Definition of the Facility—general description of the facility is identified. 

The names(s) and address(es) of all manufacturers, contract packagers, and contract analytical laboratories used for testing raw materials or the drug product should be given. If the manufacturing site is in the United States, a general description of site facilities and... 

Finally, firms performing renovations in COFs must take steps to provide information to the parents and guardians of children under age 6 using the facility. Firms may do this by either mailing each parent or guardian the lead hazard information pamphlet and a general description of the renovation or by... 

The use of batch processing requires batch scheduling of the type discussed in Chapter 3, which allows use of the same equipment to manufacture both amino acids in the same facility. In this description, only the PFD, reactor calculations, and general descriptions of the separation units are presented. The design of individual equipment, the utility consumption, and the production schedule for the plant are left as exercises for the student. A description of a process to produce four amino acids (including the two amino acids in this process) in the same facility is available at http //www.che.cemr.wvu.edu/publications/projects/large proj/batch-production of amino acids.pdf. This process description includes possible batch schedules for bodi the reactors and the separation section.

The traditional valence-only MO schemes are Extended Hiickel and CNDO with its subsequent modifications. Present-day computing facilities make it possible to move one step further, to the ab initio treatment of valence electrons through the use of pseudopotential (PP) methods. The essentials of such methods will be illustrated in the following, through a description of the NOCOR formulation3, which will then be used for extensive calculations on sulphoxide and sulphone systems. The general concepts exposed in the foregoing sections will be illustrated by many examples. 

This paper begins with a brief description of pectin structure and an overview of the general mechanism of cell wall polysaccharide biosynthesis. This is followed by a summary of previous research on PGA-GalAT and a description of a facile method to synthesize UDP-[ Cj-galacturonic acid. Finally, the paper ends with a summary of our work on the identificadon, partial characterization, and initial solubilization of the homogalacturonan biosynthetic enzyme PGA-GalAT. 

A general discussion of the nature and importance of these chamber characteristics, including wall effects, follows. For detailed descriptions of various types of smog chamber facilities and their operation, one should consult the original literature, including, for example, indoor studies utilizing borosilicate glass cylinders (Joshi et al., 1982 Behnke et al., 1988), chambers made from Teflon (FEP) film with volumes up to... 

In the development of the process automation and control system, the required testing of that control system and the factory-assembled components, and the process simulation program must be established with the general functional specifications. In an API facility, many of the control systems perform process functions that require strict validation. The functional description for the automation system should require a complete factory acceptance test (FAT). This test should simulate the entire process and process failures and alarms. The FAT should also check and verify that the control system cabinets and controllers operate as designed. The factory acceptance testing of the process automation system prior to shipment and installation in the field is a critical step in the validation and start-up of the facility. 

The first part of the Information Manual provides an overview description of the process facility, what its primary functions and products are, and what those products are used for. The process overview can include information to do with the facility s location, its impact on the environment, and general public relations issues to do with the local community. An overview of meteorology data can be included in this section also. The overview will also provide a summary of the major equipment items such as distillation columns, fired heaters, compressors, pumps, and heat exchangers. A layout sketch for each level of the facility (or each deck of a platform) should be provided. 

A description of the general facilities at the SRS is contained in the Appendix to the Daresbury Annual Report 1982/3,... 

It is difficult to list all, or even the majority, of the items that fit into the description of a facility. The purpose of the preceding list is to give a flavor of what kinds of things you need to look at in a facility hazard analysis. Appendix C offers a very general outline of some of the items that should be considered in a facility hazard analysis. Obviously, you should start with this list and expand it to include the unique features of your facility. The functional divisions in Appendix C also can help you set up your functional tree.
