Real estate availability

Space available for equipment is frequently a key factor, especially when retrofitting existing operations. For locations with considerable real estate available, large gravity decanters, API separators, or circular clarifier vessels are applicable. For space-limited situations, use of parallel plates can greatly reduce the separator area and volume, sometimes by a factor of 10-20. High-spe disk centrifuges require the smallest... 

Process design data The process des data gives site information on a map or an overall existing plot plan. The existing plot plan, or site map, shows such geographic details as roads, railroads, rivers or seashore, land contours, and inhabited areas. It also indicates the location and extent of real estate available for the new facility or expansion. The process design data indicates weather conditions e.g., average seasonal... 

Remote impounding is preferred over diking, however, in most cases sufficient real estate is not available for remote impounding. If diking is chosen, then drainage away from the tanks should be provided.

In addition to the SIC, where each plant or establishment receives an individual code, the federal government uses the Enterprise Standard Industrial Classification (ESIC) (2), where each company receives a single code according to the company s dominant activity. In the ESIC system, the real estate transactions of Shell Oil are all classed as ESIC 29 and the chemical operations of firms like General Electric, Borden, and Food Machinery Corporation are not part of ESIC 28. This system is useful in compiling and analyzing financial and related data (e.g., income, expenses, and profits that may be available only on a company basis). The existence of two systems requires care and discrimination in analyzing economic data. 

Real estate brokers are typically tied into a multiple-listing service that lists all available property in an area. Many agencies also employ state-of-the-art technology so prospective buyers can see many views of a particular site without leaving the broker s office. Be careful to select a broker comfortable with industrial site searches many advertise commercial expertise, but industrial requirements are different from generic commercial ones, especially insofar as environmental regulations. Remember that brokers are compensated only for successful transactions, and hard-sell approaches may or may not create pressure for the selection team. 

Needless to say, we do not live in a two-asset world, and this complicates matters further. An investor might place a high inflation risk premium on an index-linked bond when only nominal alternatives are available, but the value attributed to the risk premium will also be influenced at least a little by the availability of competing assets offering some degree of inflation protection—the more classic inflation hedges such as real estate and land.

The term open source tools is synonymous with open source utility and similar to open source applications. 

Almost aU designs include information that must be removed before they can be manufactured. Most of these items of information are used as references during the PCB layout phase to assist the designer in understanding the available real estate. However, these references must be removed or modified in order to manufacture the board to design intent. Among these typical items are the following ... 

Structures are used in most industrial fecilities to accommodate equipment and associated components to suit specific process, real estate, climatic, and client requirements. A structure can be designed to support one or two pieces of equipment or an entire process plant and can be open or enclosed, The principal ob-jeaives in the layout of struaures are to optimize all available space and to suppon safety, maintenance, operation, cost, and constructability.
