Internals manufacturers

Loss of internal manufacturing expertise or loss of the opportunity to develop it for a process. 

There are a number of major, international manufacturers of coagulant and flocculant polymers whose primary markets are high-volume users (i.e., cities, states, and national governments). There are also many smaller regional manufacturers who tend to specialize in niche markets and produce various polymer blends (organic polymers blended with various ratios of inorganic coagulants such as ACH, PAC, and alum). These polymer blends are particularly useful in industrial facilities where process contamination and difficult clarification problems may exist. 

Diethanolamine (DEA), 2,2 -iminodiethanol di( -ethyloxy)aniline. HN-(CH2CH2OH)2, MW = 105.1. Sp. gr. = 1.097. Flash point = 280 °F. Also used as an absorbent for acidic gases in petrochemical operations. Hygroscopic. Available as a 98.5+% alkyl amine commodity product from various international manufacturers, including Texaco Corporation. Commonly available through chemical distributors.

Remediation Service, International manufactures internal combustion engine (ICE) systems that are used to destroy volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in contaminated soil. Vapors are extracted from the soil using the vacuum generated by the engine. The vapors are then burned as... 

The basic model presented in Chapter 3.4.2 distinguishes between internally manufactured intermediates and externally procured raw materials without considering make or buy options for intermediates. For some application cases it might however be required to include make or buy - decisions in the network design model. The decision can be made either for the entire production network or individually for each site. In order to incorporate make or buy - decisions (and possibly vendor selection), suppliers have to be modeled as an additional network node. Table 11 contains the additional indices, parameters and decision variables required to implement a make or buy formulation for intermediates.

Purely experimental batches do not require QA approval. All approval must be based on a thorough QA review of the adequacy of the facility, its procedures, methods, records, inspections, and test results, prior to batch release. This applies to both internally manufactured batches and those made by contractors. 

The acronym ISO stands for International Organization for Standardization. It is a worldwide program that was founded in 1947 to promote the development of international manufacturing, trade, and communication standards. ISO membership includes over 100 countries. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is the U.S. counterpart to ISO and is the U.S. representative to ISO.

There is a global trend toward standardization. The intent is for the machinery manufacturer to design safety into the system. International manufacturing safety standards (or de facto international standards such as CENELEC in Europe) are being adopted by global companies that want to sell equipment worldwide. The European Union s (EU) mandate to follow international machine safety standards... 

The RKW Group is a leading international manufacturer of high-quality plastic films and nonwovens. CaPlast are another leading specialist. Their wide web technology allows the creation on nonwoven composites with up to five layers. Applications include construction membranes, pipeliners (CIPP) and automotive.
