Increased market demand

Scenario-4 Multiple Feedstocks, Multiple Refineries with Integration and Increased Market Demand... 

WPC—there has been an increasing market demand for fire retardant grades of WPC that can meet ASTM E-84 economically. The California State Fire Marshall promulgated the Urban Wildland Interface Building Test Standard (12-7A-5) that requires wood decking to meet HRR and flying ember standards. Borates should have a good potential in fire retardant WPC (see, e.g., Section 9.2.1.1). 

The increasing market demand for sweeteners resulted in the development of a number of chemicals. The major artificial sweeteners in the present market include acesulfame-K, alitame, aspartame, cyclamate, saccharin, and sucralose. Sweetness-intensity factors of several sweeteners compared with sucrose are given below ...

Because of an increased market demand for waxes, a new fixed-bed reactor is under construction and is due to come on line late in 1987. This reactor will operate at 45 bar which represents a 65% increase in pressure. 

Wind turbine blades represent one of the success stories for the RP industry with increasing market demand for longer blades. This has caused designers to incorporate carbon fibers adding stiffness, while blade manufacturers are moving away from wet lay-up processes to ensure that the several tonnes of materials that make up a blade can be processed safely and quickly. As a result the raw materials have changed from wet-lay up systems to prepregs and both wet and dry infusion materials (Chapters 4 and 5). 

However, in spite of these improvements, the increasing market demand has fostered research in the direction of novel products for use as alternatives to UF resins. One possible way is the substitution of formaldehyde with other aldehydes. However, research done in this direction showed that the use of alternative aldehydes, such as furfural, glyoxal, glutaraldehyde, leads to certain problems due to low solubility, excessive volatility, and toxicity [1, 5, 8,11]. 

With increased market demand, the refinery wants to make four naphtha products from two naphtha products. If using the conventional design, two new columns are required with a direct sequence of three columns to make four naphtha products as shown in Figure 11.16. However, the showstopper for this design is the plot space for installing two new columns. The question then becomes Are there any advanced separation technologies available that can resolve the plot space issue ... 

The production of farmed cod has increased rsqjidly in the last few years, both due to an increased market demand of cod products as well as to a simultaneous decrease of available wild cod in the oceans. Recent studies have shown that farmed cod can not be used in the production of all kinds of fish products, in which wild cod is used today. To meet this growing demand it is therefore important to find the variances between the physical and chemical properties of farmed and wild cod and how these parameters can be affected by various processing methods, such as salting, cooling, drying etc. 

There are two situations where process scale-up is needed (1) commercialization of newly developed processes and products and (2) expansion of production capacities in response to increased market demand. 

M in June broke ground on an expansion at its Cordova, 111., manufacturing facility. 3M credits the need for expansion to increased market demand for sustainable chemicals like its popular Novec brand products, designed as a safe alternative to ozone-depleting substances and potent greenhouse gases.
