North Korea has a nominal ethylene capacity of 60,000 t/y at a plant in Pyongyang. This very small operation could expand should oil be discovered in offshore blocks currently being explored by western companies including Australia s Beach Petroleum. 

The only PTGL-process currently operating at a commercial scale is the American-developed Andco-Torrax process, pioneered in Europe by S.A. Ets Paul Wurth (Luxemburg). Since its start-up in 1976 the Leudelange plant has operated intermittently, the frequent periods of shutdovn being used for modifying various parts of the system. At present the reliability of the process has considerably improved but the nominal design capacity (200 t/day) vill probably not be attained. [ 6]. ... 

Following completion of the bench scale test program, an engineering contractor conducted a study and prepared the preliminary design for a pilot plant having a nominal production capacity of 20 short tons of sulfur/day when treating pure sulfur dioxide. This study found that fixed-bed catalysis was more practical. The preliminary pilot plant design, therefore, provided for a fixed-bed primary reactor of the shell-and-tube type in which the catalyst would be in the tubes. 

The boiler is a product able to supply hot water in a central heating application. The appliance may be developed to provide the sanitary hot water. The performance parameters of the boiler are the nominal heating capacity in kW defined as full load mode and the nominal partial load capacity at 30% of nominal heating capacity. Tests are performed at standard conditions, which means supply plant temperatures outlet 80°C inlet 60°C and for condensing boilers, supply plant temperatures outlet 50°C and inlet 30°C. 

In 1943, Shell Chemical Corporation undertook to convert an ammonia plant located at Cactus Ordnance Works to the production of xylidines by continuous catal3rtic reduction. The nominal design capacity of the plant was 960,000 lb per day. ... 

Thermal storage technologies enable a solar resource with a nominal 25% capacity factor to be "spread" out to produce a 69-72% capacity factor that operates at lower output. This technology was proven at the Solar Two plant (Pacheco et al. 2002 Reilly and Kolb 2001) and uses fully commercial technology and commodity materials. Current thermal storage technology is low-cost molten-nitrate salt useful to about 650°C,...

The production shaft is serviced by a groimd-moimted friction winder with a nominal production capacity of 3.5Mt/y and a hoisting depth of 1,100m. A surface conveyor system transports ore from the tipping bin at the shaft to a surface ROM stockpile adjacent to a new secondary crushing cuid screening plant. 

A 5 t/h nominal production capacity (5000 kg/h) based on 100% active content forms the basis for the following tables. The 5 t design fits current industry requirements for capacity and economics. The actual capacity of the MES plant is highly dependent on both the molecular weight and the quality of the ME raw material. The ultimate capacity of an MES plant is determined by the amount of sulfur that can be burned and converted into SO3. The plant design is based on a fixed number of moles per hour of ME of a specified molecular weight. 

In 2004, world zinc metal production totaled 9.502 million tonnes. Approximately 70% of this zinc metal originated from mined ores and 30% from recycled materials or secondary zinc. The level of recycling increases every year, in step with progress in the technology of zinc production and zinc recycling. Most of the zinc metal is produced in commercial plants with plant annual production capacities ranging from 100,000 to 300,000 tonnes. The major zinc metal producers with nominal plant production capacities are listed in Table 3.24. 

Working in close cooperation with Idemitsu Petrochemical Company, Kellogg designed a prototype of the Millisecond Furnace with a nominal ethylene capacity 25,000 metric tons a year. This furnace, shown in Figure 6, also served as an expansion to Idemitsu s No. 2 Ethylene Plant at Tokuyama, Japan. 

ANSI Z21.83 American National Standard - Fuel Cell Power Plants provides a means of testing and certifying the safety of stationary fuel cell power plants with a nominal electric capacity not exceeding 1.0 MW. This standard is intended for applications other than residential when installed outdoors and operated on a gaseous hydrocarbon as the reactant. The current version of... 

The estimated world production capacity for hydrazine solutions is 44,100 t on a N2H4 basis (Table 6). About 60% is made by the hypochlorite—ketazine process, 25% by the peroxide—ketazine route, and the remainder by the Raschig and urea processes. In addition there is anhydrous hydrazine capacity for propellant appHcations. In the United States, one plant dedicated to fuels production (Olin Corp., Raschig process), has a nominal capacity of 3200 t. This facihty also produces the two other hydrazine fuels, monomethyUiydrazine and unsymmetrical dimethyUiydrazine. Other hydrazine fuels capacity includes AH in the PRC, Japan, and Russia MMH in France and Japan and UDMH in France, Russia, and the PRC. 

Between 1938 and 1958, the chemical and petrochemical industry could do nothing wrong. These were years of rapid expansion when the demand quickly exceeded the supply. The philosophy of the era was to build a plant that the engineer was sure would run at the design capacity. If it ran at 20,30, or even 50% over the nominal capacity this was a feather in the superintendent s cap. There were proud boasts of a plant running at 180% of capacity. Anybody who could produce this was obviously in line for a vice-presidency. He was a manager s manager. 

A common problem encountered in large chemical companies involves the distribution of a single product (30 manufactured at several plant locations. Generally, the product needs to be delivered to several customers located at various distances from each plant. It is, therefore, desirable to determine how much Y must be produced at each of m plants (Yv Y2,..., Ym) and how, for example, Ym should be allocated to each of n demand points (YmV Ym2,. Ymnl The cost-minimizing solution to this problem not only involves the transportation costs between each supply and demand point but also the production cost versus capacity curves for each plant. The individual plants probably vary with respect to their nominal production rate, and some plants may be more efficient than others, having been constructed at a later date. Both of these factors contribute to a unique functionality between production cost and production rate. Because of the particular distribution of transportation costs, it may be... 

A bypass type Claus plant, with fired preheating of acid gas and air, has been advocated by some for use in coal conversion plants, for acid gases containing 20 percent H2S or less. The authors think this an unwise choice for synfuels plants, even though it can be a good choice for other purposes. Several preheat-bypass Claus plants (of nominal capacity about 1,000 tons... 

There are now two plants operating in Europe, both located in Switzerland. The plant developed by Batrec AG in Wimmis has been in operation since 1994 and has a nominal capacity of 2000 tonnes of UDBs per annum. This plant is based on the Sumitomo process its flow sheet is shown schematically in Fig. A3.1.
