Research and Development Facilities

Requirement for the supplier to have access to research and development facilities... 

The supplier does not need to own research and development facilities and may subcontract conceptual or complex design work to design studios. Clearly customers in the automotive sector are seeking new solutions to engineering problems and in order to capture the competitive edge, innovation is paramount. 

Containment also brings connotations of employing active and perhaps physical means of preventing escape as in the terms container or containment facility . This term might be most suitably used in the context of bioreactor facilities or self-contained, indoor research and development facilities. 

MSDS summarises all of the important health, safety, and environmental information about a substance. A version of this standard also applies to laboratories, including research and development facilities, and requires the development of a laboratory hygiene plan.

In research and development, facilities for investigating chemical reactions are required. Besides screening tests, reaction-rate and kinetic parameters must be determined. For accurate and safe scale-up of the apparatus of an industrial chemical plant, furthermore, thermodynamic- and transport-data must be measured. For this purpose, a variety of apparatus is described in the open literature. In this chapter, some typical devices for use at high pressure are presented. 

Pursuant to the enactment of Public Law 99-145, the Army began to develop the components of a baseline incineration system at its research and development facility, the Chemical Agent Munitions Disposal System (CAMDS), located at Deseret Chemical Depot (DCD), formerly a part of Tooele Army Depot, Utah. 

Unlike production facilities, in research and development facilities the next product to be manufactured in the equipment is often unknown. One of the significant factors in determining the limits for a typical cleaning are the parameters of batch size and dosage of the following product. It is important for the research or development facility to develop a...

Profile Argonaut was incorporated in November 1994 and completed a first-round venture financing of 4.5 million in January 1995. A second-round venture financing of 9.5 million was completed in May 1996. In addition to the research and development facility the company occupies in San Carlos, California, it also has facilities in Tucson, Arizona, and Basel, Switzerland, as well as a distributor in Japan. 

Profile Founded in 1984, this privately held company provides molecular modeling and simulation software for both life and materials science research. The company employs more than 280 people (approximately half of whom are Ph.D. scientists) it operates sales offices around the world and a research and development facility in Cambridge, England. MSI s Combinatorial Chemistry Consortium addresses the full scope of the combinatorial chemistry process and is focused on maximizing the productivity of library design and analysis. In February 1998, Molecular Simulations Inc. and Pharmacopeia Inc. announced a definitive agreement whereby Pharmacopeia will acquire all of the outstanding stock of MSI. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 1998 upon completion MSI will become a wholly owned subsidiary. 

The heteroatom reactants do not themselves deactivate the catalyst the catalyst deactivates due to coke formation from hydrocarbons and metal deposition from the mineral in coal. The commercial HT process cannot be easily carried out on a bench scale, because of materials handling and pressure problems however, the process is carried out on a demonstration scale at the Advanced Coal Liquefaction Research and Development Facility at Wilsonville, AL. Small portions of the catalyst are removed at various deactivation levels, quantified as the weight of product per weight of catalyBt, with the metals and coke deposits on the removed solid being characterized. 

The Army has at its disposition four principle types of facilities for treating non-stockpile chemical materiel nonstockpile facilities, designed to destroy large quantities of dissimilar CWM stockpile facilities, constructed to destroy large quantities of similar CWM research and development facilities and commercial treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs).
