Production flexibility

When surfactant-coated glass fibers are included to improve product flexibility and reduce thermal expansion, these semibatch processes are termed reinforced reaction injection mol ding (RRIM). 

The production flexibility of the fabrication process is often the single most... 

In order to enhance production flexibility and to take advantage of different feedstock pricing patterns, chemical plants in some productive segments or product lines are designed to use a variety of alternative process inputs to produce a variety of products. Although economically attractive in a narrow production sense, such... 

From a practical viewpoint ideal hydrocracking offers an utmost degree of product flexibility. However, as a consequence of the catalysts required contents of poisons in the feed materials such as sulfur and nitrogen compounds are strongly limited. 

In the medium term, producers should ensure their operations have feedstock and production flexibility to enable them to ride out price volatility. 

It is the author s opinion that the method of oxidation in the oscillation-kinetic mode gives an opportunity to resolve effectively the problem of establishing chemical processes that can be flexible and capable of being adjusted to the manufacture of different products in a very short time. Recently, production flexibility has been associated with flexibility of... 

Currently, most biorefineries are based mainly on a single product line with potentially one or two byproducts. Thus, an ethanol plant produces ethanol from corn starch, with distiller s grain as a byproduct. Greater product flexibility and, consequently, greater opportunities for profitability would derive from a plant producing a variety of alcohols, especially higher alcohols whose market prices range from 0.77 to 1.87/kg. 

The modern methods of three dimensional microfabrication have lead to the development of extremely miniaturized chemical and biotechnological systems. These so called microreactors represent novel approaches in respect of production flexibility and chemical reactions not yet applied in chemical processing. This has stimulated world-wide research in this field so that the technical feasibility of such devices has been demonstrated in the laboratory scale. 

Universities address other interesting issues such as the value of product flexibility and active carbon recycle systems for sustainability.

We conclude that flexibility in output product is likely to add significant economic value for an investor in nuclear hydrogen. Product flexibility increases the market viability, and this should be taken into account in the development phase of nuclear hydrogen technologies.

The high concentration of oxygen in the feed for the 20% oxygen system causes an over oxidation of the carbon species to CO, reducing the selectivity towards acetylene. This product flexibility could be useful in that it would allow for hydrogen to be produced... 

Primers can be used to protect both treated metal and nonmetal substrates after surface treatment. The use of a primer as a shop protectant may increase production costs, but it may also provide enhanced and more consistent adhesive strength. The use of a primer greatly increases production flexibility in bonding operations. Usually primer application can be incorporated as the final step in the surface preparation process. The primer is applied as soon as possible after surface preparation and usually no more than a few hours later. The actual application of the adhesive may then be delayed significantly.
