Any downtime of an expander results in significant lost revenue. When this particular damage occurred, the user no longer obtained power from the process to drive the equipment. Instead, the user was forced to buy electricity to drive the axial compressor. Depending on the power capability of the expander, losses of 300,000 per month or greater may be experienced.

It was reported by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) in 2000 that fewer than 5 percent of physicians were writing prescriptions electronically. In a 2000 white paper entitled, A Call to Action Eliminate Handwritten Prescriptions within 3 Years, ISMP recommended the use of electronic prescribing by clinician order entry to reduce medication errors (ISMP, 2000).

For example, some national chain pharmacies have the capability of alerting the patient by phone or e-mail if a prescription is ready or if other action needs to be taken before the prescription can be picked up. The system should also be able to report results, such as the number of prescriptions filled, the revenue generated over a specified time, and medication error reports.

The nation s first saline water conversion plant to treat an entire municipal supply, built for the town of Buckeye, Ariz., went into operation early in September 1962. It has the capability to reduce water of 2200 p.p.m. total dissolved solids to 500 p.p.m., at a rate of 650,000 gallons per day.
