Production output

Beside all these safety reasons, we are able to test 2 or 3 drums at the same time and by some improvements of the application we are able to reduce the test-period down to 4 hours, which results in an also for the production sufficient number of tested drums during the short shut down periods. These increase the availability and the production output of a plant and result therefore in a gain of safety an economical competitiveness of the European industry. 

The uses of Th are at present limited and only a few hundred tonnes are produced annually, about half of this still being devoted to the production of gas mantles (p. 1228). In view of its availability as a by-product of lanthanide and uranium production, output could be increased easily if it were to be used on a large scale as a nuclear fuel (see below). 

The model for the maintenance requirements of a large metallurgical plant was recently constructed by relating the man-hours to the production output, but the relationship was not linear, and a more sophisticated model was needed to examine the site requirements for different output tonnage. 

Inputs and outputs assessed in mass balancing are shown in Figure 5.3. The software EATOS was used to calculate all mass balances of processes. Outputs of EATOS are the mass index (equation (5.1), mass of raw material per mass of product output), and the environmental factor (equation (5.2), mass of waste output per mass of product output). EATOS also allows the calculation of cost indices (e.g., reference [15]) (equation (5.3), cost of raw material per mass of product output). 

Throughput is in simple terms the average saleable production output per a given time unit. Cycle time is the average time between the release and completion of a job, in other words, the rate at which products are manufactured. Key parameters that affect throughput in a chemical plant include the chemical conversion, yield, capacity and availability of existing equipment, process time, cycle time, number of chemical steps, number of unit operations, plant layout, warehouse processes, raw material availability, process bottlenecks and labour availability, amongst others. 

The efficiency of a classifier is represented by a performance or partition curve, similar to that used for screens, which relates to the particle size to the percentage of each size in the feed that reports to the underflow. The most important industrial application of classifiers is to reduce overgrinding in a mill by separating the milled product output into coarse and fine fractions in order that the fines can be removed as they are produced and the coarse returned for further comminution.

Automation and control of processing equipment by highly sophisticated computer control systems is becoming the standard at most hydrocarbon facilities. Automatic control provides for closer control of the process operating conditions and therefore increased efficiencies. Increased efficiencies allow higher production outputs. Automation is also thought to reduce operator manpower requirements. However other personnel are still needed to inspect and maintain the automatic controlling system. All process control systems should be monitored by operators and have the capability for backup control or override commands by human operators. 

Commodity production planning requires to aggregate the process-internal units such as reactors, dryers or tanks into a an aggregate asset planned as a whole with dedicated interfaces of raw material input and production output as shown in the left and right part of the process example. 

In the following, the production quantity x and secondary demand quantity xp cdem of production as part of distribution planning is introduced that will be later presented in more detail in subchapter 5.6. The production output quantity by product and location is equal to distribution demand of the product and production location. 

Production has a location subset with the production locations / e IPl, V/el. In addition, product subsets with all production output products p e IP1 and input products p e IP3, /p e P are defined. 

A significant portion of the nonpetroleum product outputs of refineries is transported off-site and sold as by-products. These outputs include sulfur, acetic acid, phosphoric acid, and recovered metals. Metals from catalysts and from the crude oil that have deposited on the catalyst during the production often are recovered by third-party recovery facilities. 

The processing methods will be selected according to the importance of the series, part sizes and targeted properties. Table 6.1 suggests some processes, for thermoplastic and thermoset composites, according to the part sizes and production outputs.

Variable expense Any expense that varies directly with production output. 

The desired products are hydrocarbons in the C5 to C10 range that can be used in gasoline production. Iron-, cobalt- and nickel-based catalysts plus the proper selection of reaction temperatures and pressures are used to control product output. Increasing residence time in the reactor yields more paraffinic products and reduces the formation of alcohol and acid. 

Product development aims at formulating active drug ingredient in a palatable form. Technology transfer of a pharmaceutical product from research to the production floor (referred to as shop floor ) with simultaneous increase in production outputs is commonly known as scale-up. In simple terms, the process of increasing batch size is termed as scale-up. Conversely, scale-down refers to decrease in batch size in response to reduced market requirements.

Manufacturing and processing wastes include all residuals generated from material inputs that leave the plant as product output. Office and packaging wastes associated with this sector are included in the urban waste sector. The majority of these wastes are from pulp and paper manufacturing, primary and secondary wood manufacturing, and the construction industry. 

The pack press is ideally suited to a relatively small production output for specialised fruit varieties, but for large-scale production fully mechanised systems are necessary.
