The first case study consists of a section of an olefin plant located at the Orica Botany Site in Sydney, Australia. In this example, all the theoretical results discussed in Chapters 4,5,6, and 7 for linear systems are fully exploited for variable classification, system decomposition, and data reconciliation, as well as gross error detection and identification. 

In contrast to many other countries, chlorinated solvents and the vinyl chain are of minor importance. Carbon tetrachloride (CTC), perchloroethylene (PCE), vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) and ethylene dichloride (EDC) were manufactured for over 40 years by ICI Australia in Sydney, but the facilities were small by world standards and were progressively closed (CTC/PCE in 1991, VCM in 1996 and EDC in 1998) as they were no longer able to compete against imports from world-scale plants overseas. 

Orica is the largest producer of chlorine in Australia and currently operates three chlor-alkali plants on the east coast. Two of these plants (in Melbourne and Sydney) are mercury cell plants dating back over 50 years while the third plant is a small, modern membrane cell plant in the central Queensland town of Gladstone. The mercury cell plants have both reached the end of their useful economic lives. 

Consolidate the Sydney and Melbourne plants into one new membrane cell plant in Sydney or Melbourne. 

Build two new membrane cell plants - one in Sydney and one in Melbourne. 

The Sydney plant is a combination of older mercury cell technology (updated ICI Mark 1 cells) and modern derivative plants (hydrochloric acid, sodium hypochlorite and ferric chloride) combined with liquid chlorine packing. The mercury cells had originally been in excess of 80 000 tonnes per annum capacity and cells had been progressively taken off-line following closure of chlorinated solvents (CTC/PCE) and EDC/VCM manufacture over a period of 10 years. This had left an asset significantly oversized compared with the present market demands. 

The proposal for Sydney is to build a new chlor-alkali plant and feed chlorine gas to the existing derivative plants. When the present plant was built in 1944, the surrounding area was vacant. However, with the growth of Sydney, the plant is now less than 100 m from residential areas. The criterion set by the state government is that the... 

The existing Sydney and Melbourne plants were well out of phase with market requirements in their respective states, requiring additional transport costs to move product to the market. However, the market requirements for NSW and Victoria/ South Australia/Tasmania are sufficiently close that identical sized plants could be built, with significant cost savings in engineering and procurement compared with construction of two plants of differing capacity. The Melbourne and Sydney chlor-alkali plants are therefore identical up to the point of manufacture of compressed, dry chlorine. Even the plant layout has been kept identical. 

Manning at a number of reference plants was extensively evaluated in order to arrive at the lowest level on the new plants. The Sydney plant will have a shift manning of three per shift and Melbourne an additional one per shift owing to the chlorinated paraffin plant (both based on a five-shift roster). Maintenance will be largely contracted out, with Orica providing personnel for planning and specialised maintenance only. 

The contracts were let in December 1998. The Melbourne plant is due to be ready for operation in December 2000 and Sydney in May 2001.

The roundworms (Nematoda)127 129 have, in addition to the enteron (alimentary tract), a separate body cavity. Free-living nematodes abound in water and soil but many species are parasitic. They do enormous damage to plants and to some animal species. Trichina, hookworms1293, and filaria worms attack humans. However, in the laboratory the 1-mm-long, 810-cell nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans (Fig. 1-14) has become an important animal. In 1963 Sydney Brenner launched what has become a worldwide effort to make this tiny worm the equivalent in the animal kingdom of...
