Probability maximum

A credible spill for Probable Maximum Loss Potential. The minimum spill source is the largest process vessel. The maximum spill size is the combined contents of the largest process vessel, or train of process vessels connected together if not readily isolated. Between these extremes, a credible spill may be estimated after taking into account the presence of remotely operated shutoff valves adequate for an emergency, and automatic dump or flare systems.

In a production line that has a relatively long run, the cost for equipment in relationship to producing the product including its financial amortization, usually is about 5% with probably maximum of 10% Plastic material cost could be at about 50% with as high as 80% for high volume production. The other costs include power, water, labor, overhead and taxes. With precision, short runs, costs could be equipmentwise at 20 to 30%, material 45 to 50%. Thus, as it is usually stated, do not buy equipment just because it cost less since more profit could occur with the more expensive equipment study what is to be purchased. Of course the reverse is possibly true. So, you the buyer, have to know what you want and are ordering to a specification properly determined based on the designed product requirements. 

Normal loss prevention practices are to design protection measures for the worst case fire event that can occur at the facility. To interpret this literally would mean that an oil or gas facility is completely on fire or totally destroyed by an explosion. Practical, economical and historical review considerations indicate this rational should be redefined to the Worst Case Credible Event (WCCE) or the as referenced in the insurance industry, the Probable Maximum Loss (PML), that could occur at the facility. 

The ideal solution is to perform a risk analysis for each item in a facility to determine the probable maximum fire and explosive range the location may produce. The calculations and expense to accomplish such a task today does not appear to justify a unilateral application to every piece of equipment at a facility. Consequentially the use of a spacing table for a facility design provides for an economical and expedient solution. This is especially important when several options on the layout of the facility are available. However in some instances the use of risk analysis may demonstrate less spacing is necessary that what a spacing chart requires. 

The effect of sample colour is illustrated by the following list relating probable maximum temperature to colour at an ambient temperature of 26 °C. 

A fire loss that occurs with one active fire protection system out of service, often described as the Probable Maximum Loss (PML). 

Process areas with a probable maximum loss of less than X do not require automatic suppression systems. 

From its E° value, 2.02 V, hydroxyl radical would be expected to show strongly oxidizing properties. It sometimes does, but the major pathway for its reactions with organic compounds is bond formation, either by addition or hydrogen-atom abstraction. The calculation for benzene assumes A(OH / OH-) < 20 kcal moC1 and A(PhH+ /PhH) = 10 kcal mol-1 both of which are probably maximum values. Clearly, nonbonded electron transfer is not feasible in this case. 

The ultimate test of the theoretical predictions for the mechanism of cyclopropane stereomutation would be to use an optically active disubstituted cyclopropane in which the substituents were just isotopes of hydrogen. This is a challenging problem both from a synthetic standpoint and from an analytical one. The analytical difficulty is particularly acute because one has to analyze a small, volatile molecule for both optical purity and cis-trans isomer ratio, and both measurements have to rely solely on the difference between isotopes. There are no functional groups to be used as handles for an optically active NMR shift reagent and so determination of optical purity must come from direct measurement of rotations—with a probable maximum specific rotation of < 1 ° ...

The extractor selection map depicted in Fig. 26 reflects the above considerations plus the number of stages required. Where the degree of extraction exceeds the probable maximum staging achievable in one extractor, the extractors can be used in series. 

This example shows the probable maximum speed attainable with single-stage rockets using chemical fuels. It appears that the maximum / p for chemical fuels is about 4301bf- s/lbm. Better structural design may reduce the value of but it is unlikely to go much under 0.1 if there is any... 

Bq/m ). It is reported that radon-222 levels increase with soil depth, reaching a probable maximum at about 800 cm below ground level (Jaki and Hess 1958). 

DEMAND - The probable maximum rate of water flow as determined by the number of water supply fixture units. 

The corrosion rate cannot exceed the diffusion-limited cathodic current. This fact can be used for an estimation of the probable maximum value of the corrosion rate. 

Evaluation of the capability of the plant to withstand the effects of severe hydrometeorological phenomena will be presented at the time of application for a specific site. For purposes of the analysis presented herein, yard grade for "safety-related" structures is set at an elevation above the water level that can be reached by the probable maximum event. Normal groundwater elevation is assumed to be 8 feet below grade.
