Provision of sets of process manuals, flowsheets, plot plans etc., ready for immediate use. 

Process manuals are often prepared by the process design group to describe the process and the basis of the design. Together with the flow-sheets, they provide a complete technical description of the process.

Automatic control systems neither replace nor relieve the operator of the responsibility for maintaining the facility. The operation of the control systems is periodically checked to verify proper operation. If a control system fails, the operator must be able to take over and control the process manually. In most cases, understanding how the control system works aids the operator in determining if the system is operating properly and which actions are required to maintain the system in a safe condition. 

By themselves, valves cannot control a process. Manual valves require an operator to position them to control a process variable. Valves that must be operated remotely and automatically require special devices to move them. These devices are called actuators. Actuators may be pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric solenoids or motors. 

In manufacturing and processing in GRP plant, styrene and solvents must be extracted to prevent excessive concentrations in the air. In 1987 the permitted work-place concentration for styrene was reduced from lOOppm to 20ppm. From 31-12-94 values above 20ppm are no longer permitted where UP resins are processed manually. Exact measurement of concentrations is essential and suitable extraction systems installed. 

Simplicity of the tools and processing for some materials worked or processed manually in the liquid state. 

Market and actors In Germany approximately 32 m. tons of cement are manufactured, of which about 16% are processed manually, 31% are used in factory manufacture of concrete parts and 53% are used in the manufacture of ready-mixed concrete. Around 5.5 m. tons are imported. The cement industry operates in a Fordist stmctured market for mass products (lengthy product cycles, dominated by price competition) with trends towards monopolies. Raw materials suppliers and downstream businesses (e.g. cement transportation enterprises) are also being controlled increasingly by the cement manufacturers. 

The design must ensure that records generated by computer systems conform to their specified content. Records covering computer inputs, outputs, and data must be accurate. The computer system should also include built-in checks of the correctness of data that are entered and processed. Manual entry of critical data should be subjected to a confirmation check within the design that may be either manual or automatic. 

Thus, the concentration of any (or all) of the components present in the mixture can be determined, providing they are adequately separated from one another. It is interesting to note that if the maximum accuracy and precision is required, and the data is to be corrected for a response index that is other than unity, either peak heights must be used or the chromatogram must be processed manually. For repeat analyses of the same type of mixture, the operating conditions can be maintained constant and, as there is no extreme change in sample composition, the response factors will usually need to be determined only once a day.

In addition to textbooks, a detailed online knowledge base, the Process Manual, is available from Aspen Technology (see www. processmanual.com). This covers equipment, scientific background, design, and operation for drying and 10 other technical areas in solids and separation processes. Company and university licenses are available. 

FRICTION STIR WELDING (FSW) and its variants of friction stir processing (FSP) and friction stir spot welding (FSSW) have numerous equipment solutions for production and development applications, like most manufacturing processes. There are three basic categories of production equipment solutions for most processes manual, hxed automation, and robotic solutions. Production FSW solutions are similar, with the exception that a manual solution is generally not possible due to the high forces required for FSW and its variants.
