The Carver-Greenfield process (C-G process) is a patented drying and solvent extraction process designed to separate oil-soluble contaminants from liquid, solid, or slurry wastes. The process has been used extensively over the last 30 years to dry and extract compounds from a variety of wet, oily solids in various industries. C-G process units may consist of modular designs or custom made for large-capacity operations. 

MJ/kWh (10,400 Btu/kWh), mechanical vapor recompression can vaporize 1 kg of water for less than 0.46 MJ (1.0 lb for less than 200 Btu). The Carver-Greenfield process is based on combining mechanical vapor recompression with multiple-effect evaporation to dry high-water-content biomass and other solid suspensions. Many full-scale units have been placed in operation since the first facility was installed in 1961. One unit was used at the Hyperion wastewater treatment plant in Los Angeles from 1987 to early 1995 to dry 40 t/day of biosolids wetcake to 99+% total solids content (Haug, Moore, and Harrison, 1995). The process has since been replaced by rotary steam dryers because it was not possible to reach the design capacity of the unit. 

In addition to medication, social work practitioners use various psychosocial interventions such as individual and group therapy in the treatment of the bipolar disorders. Of equal importance as treatment modalities are specialized addiction groups designed to also treat coexisting disorders such as substance abuse that clients with bipolar disorders experience (Weiss, Griffin, Greenfield, Najavits, Wyner, Soto, Hennen, 2000). 

We will instead discuss the issues beyond the design of the mechanical and process equipment, which can have significant effects on capital and operating costs. Some important differences between a greenfield and brownfield project are presented, followed by key considerations during site selection. The major components of capital cost are discussed, with emphasis on electrical power and the design of the cellhouse building. Finally, the factors that affect the project schedule are discussed. 

The model implicitly assumes that greenfield supply chain configuration is performed and there are no fixed supply chain units or links. In the case of supply chain reconfiguration, additirmal constraints are imposed to represent the reconfiguration optirais. If a unit or fink is indicated as design time selection, then constraints (8.13) and (8.15)-(8.16) are not changed. If a unit or link is indicated as fixed, then the corresponding cmistraints are set equal to one (i.e., the decisimi variable becomes a parameter).
