temperature, and pressure controls indicate whether performance requirements of a molded part are met. Time factors include rate of injection, duration of ram pressure, time of cooling, time of plastication, and screw RPM (Fig. 2-2). Pressure factors are injection high and low pressure, back pressure on the extruder screw, and pressure loss before the plastic enters the cavity, which can be caused by a variety of restrictions in the mold (Fig. 2-4). Temperature factors are mold (cavity and core), barrel, and nozzle temperatures, as well as the melt temperature due to back pressure, screw speed, frictional heat, and so on (see Fig. 2-5 and references 

The large number of variables summarized in Fig. 2-6 will cause part changes if not controlled properly. Basic settings for these variables are provided by the plastic producer the injection barrel temperature (Table

The recovery area of the plant employs fractionation to recover and purify the phenol and acetone products. Also in this section the alpha-methylstyrene is recovered and may be hydrogenated back to cumene or recovered as AMS product. The hydrogenated AMS is recycled as feedstock to the reaction area. The overall yield for the cumene process is 96 mol %. Figure 1 is a simplified process diagram.

An example of a process using O2 to oxidize HiS is the Stretford process, which is licensed by the British Gas Corporation. In this process the gas stream is washed with an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate, sodium vanadate, and anthraquinone disulfonic acid. Figure 7-9 shows a simplified process diagram of the process.

The process involved in the incident is concerned with the separation of crude into three phases. The crude is pumped into a two stage separation process where it is divided into three phases oil, gas, and water. The water is cleaned up and dumped to drain. The remaining mixture of oil and gas is then pumped into the main oil line where it is metered and sent on for further processing. A simplified process diagram is shown in Figure 7.1. The case study described here is centered on a flange leak in one of the oil pipeline pumps (pump A) and its associated pressure relief valve piping. 

Some important factors regarding a safe plant can be better understood if the reader is familiar with such process equipment as reactors (Section 5.2), mass transfer units (Section 5.3), heat exchanges (Section 5.4), ancillary equipment (Section 5.5), environmental equipment (Section 5.6), and utilities (Section 5.7). Protective equipment is reviewed in Section 5.8. Process diagrams, which illustrate the various possible arrangements of plant equipment, valves, piping, and control systems, are presented in Section 5.9. Plant siting and layout are discussed in Section 5.10 - this last section illustrates the factors that can contribute to proper plant operation.

Figure 8.3.1 is a typical process diagram for tlie production of ammonia by steam reforming. Tlie first step in tlie preparation of tlie synthesis gas is desulfurization of the hydrocarbon feed. Tliis is necessary because sulfur poisons tlie nickel catalyst (albeit reversibly) in tlie reformers, even at very low concentrations. Steam reforming of hydrocarbon feedstock is carried out in tlie priiiiiiry and secondary reformers.

As a case study an acetic acid process has been given. Acetic acid is produced by a liquid-phase methanol carbonylation. Acetic acid is formed by the reaction between methanol and carbon monoxide which is catalysed by rhodium iodocarbonyl catalyst. The process diagram is shown in Figure 7. 

In many cases in which optimization is applied, you need to determine the allocation of material flows to a set of processes in order to maximize profits. Consider the process diagram in Figure E2.10.
