Liquid products process validation

Clearly, the turboexpander is one of several key components in a process plant and liquid production is related to the performance of all components of the plant, not the turboexpander alone. It has previously been assumed that changes in the normal design conditions of turboexpanders have not adversely affected other equipment in the plant because adverse impact on other equipment, if any, would further reduce liquid production. This simplifies the assumptions, but does not affect the general validity of the findings.

The traditional approach for process monitoring is to compare measurements against specified limits. This limit checking technique is a standard feature of computer control systems and is widely used to validate measurements of process variables such as flow rate, temperature, pressure, and liquid level. Process variables are measured quite frequently with sampling periods that typically are much smaller than the process setthng time (see Chapter 17). However, for most industrial plants, many important quality variables cannot be measured on-line. Instead, samples of the product are taken on an infrequent basis (e.g., hourly or daily) and sent to the quality control laboratory for analysis. Due to the infrequent measurements, standard feedback control methods fike PID control cannot be applied. Consequently, statistical process control techniques are implemented to ensure that the product quality meets the specifications. 

Steam distillation is a process whereby organic liquids may be separated at temperatures sufficiently low to prevent their thermal decomposition or whereby azeotropes may be broken. Fats or perfume production are examples of applications of this technique. The vapour-liquid equilibria of the three-phase system is simplified by the usual assumption of complete immiscibility of the liquid phases and the validity of the Raoult and Dalton laws. Systems containing more than one volatile component are characterised by complex dynamics (e.g., boiling point is not constant). 

If the process is continuous and in the complete mixed-flow mode, for both the gas and slurry phases, the equations derived for agitated sluny reactors are valid (see Section 3.5.1) (Ramachandran and Chaudhari, 1980) by simply applying the appropriate mass transfer coefficients. Note that in sluiiy-agitated reactors, the material balances are based on the volume of the bubble-free liquid. Furthermore, in reactions of the form aA(g) + B(l) — products, if gas phase concentration of A is constant, the same treatment holds for the plug flow of the gas phase.

The atomic processes that are occurring (under conditions of equilibrium or non equilibrium) may be described by statistical mechanics. Since we are assuming gaseous- or liquid-phase reactions, collision theory applies. In other words, the molecules must collide for a reaction to occur. Hence, the rate of a reaction is proportional to the number of collisions per second. This number, in turn, is proportional to the concentrations of the species combining. Normally, chemical equations, like the one given above, are stoichiometric statements. The coefficients in the equation give the number of moles of reactants and products. However, if (and only if) the chemical equation is also valid in terms of what the molecules are doing, the reaction is said to be an elementary reaction. In this case we can write the rate laws for the forward and reverse reactions as Vf = kf[A]"[B]6 and vr = kr[C]c, respectively, where kj and kr are rate constants and the exponents are equal to the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation. The net reaction rate, r, for an elementary reaction represented by Eq. 2.32 is thus... 

However, with careful QC of liquid handling and standardized cell line production parameters can be maintained at a steady level. Some cellular assays, which use harvested native cells, depend on large batches, often obtained from different donors or cadavers. It is important that these assays are recalibrated with new batches and the validation process repeated.
