Cartridge filters are very commonly used. In industrial processes, usage of bag filters or cartridge filters is greater than other SLS equipment combined. Three types of cartridge filters are shown in Figure 22.37. 

Heat input is the driving force for fractionation. For a simple fractionation column, heat input comes from feed and bottom reboiling, while heat is removed from products and the overhead condenser. For a complex fractionation column, multiple products are produced, while pump-arounds are located to remove excess heat in the column and recover this heat for process usage.

The gas processing options described in the previous section were designed primarily to meet on-site usage or evacuation specifications. Before delivery to the customer further processing would normally be carried out at dedicated gas processing plants, which may receive gas from many different gas and oil fields. Gas piped to such plants is normally treated to prevent liquid drop out under pipeline conditions (dew point control) but may still contain considerable volumes of natural gas liquids (NGL) and also contaminants. 

In the late 1960s a new class of AN copolymers and multipolymers was introduced that contain >60% acrylonitrile. These are commonly known as barrier resins and have found thek greatest acceptance where excellent barrier properties toward gases (5), chemicals, and solvents are needed. They may be processed into bottles, sheets, films, and various laminates, and have found wide usage in the packaging industry (see Barrier polymers). 

However, chromatographic processes stiH have a considerable appHcabiHty (106) (see Analytical methods). For instance, in small-scale operations, the greater simplicity of the chromatograph may more than compensate economically for the larger adsorbent inventory and desorbent usage. 

Generally, for most fermentation processes to yield a good quality product at a competitive price, at least six key criteria must be met. (/) Fermentation is a capital intensive business and investment must be minimised. (2) The raw materials should be as cheap as possible. (J) Only the highest yielding strains should be used. (4) Recovery and purification should be as rapid and as simple as possible. (5) Automation should be employed to minimise labor usage. (6) The process must be designed to minimise waste production and efftciendy use all utilities (26,27). 

Market Trends of the 1990s. The United States spice market can be divided into three sectors based on appHcation industrial, ie, food processing and manufacture institutional, ie, restaurants, hospitals, schools, and military and retail. The food manufacturers and institutions account for almost 65% of U.S. spice usage, an increase from about 40% in the 1980s. Retail food outiets make up most of the remainder. 

Two main operational variables that differentiate the flotation of finely dispersed coUoids and precipitates in water treatment from the flotation of minerals is the need for quiescent pulp conditions (low turbulence) and the need for very fine bubble sizes in the former. This is accompHshed by the use of electroflotation and dissolved air flotation instead of mechanically generated bubbles which is common in mineral flotation practice. Electroflotation is a technique where fine gas bubbles (hydrogen and oxygen) are generated in the pulp by the appHcation of electricity to electrodes. These very fine bubbles are more suited to the flotation of very fine particles encountered in water treatment. Its industrial usage is not widespread. Dissolved air flotation is similar to vacuum flotation. Air-saturated slurries are subjected to vacuum for the generation of bubbles. The process finds limited appHcation in water treatment and in paper pulp effluent purification. The need to mn it batchwise renders it less versatile.
