Safety and cost

in order to do maintenance on the meter, the process flow cannot be stopped and the measurement point cannot be bypassed, the selection choice is limited to clamp-on meters. If the available straight upstream pipe run is insufficient, consider using meters that require less (such as magnetic, which requires five) diameters. Even if the meter installation requirements can be met, their effect on the overall system cost must still be quantified because the cost should also include installation, operation, and maintenance expenses. 

Hardware costs, in general, should always be balanced against the potential benefits of increased plant efficiency or product quality. These benefits

Other factors to be considered include the estimated total life of the meter and pressure loss through the meter because the head loss increases the pumping costs throughout the life of the installation.

Heat Recovery Equipment. Factors that limit heat recovery appHcations are corrosion, fouling, safety, and cost of heat-exchange surface. Most heat interchange utilizes sheU and tube-type units because of the mgged constmction, ease of mechanical cleaning, and ease of fabrication in a variety of materials. However, there is a rich assortment of other heat exchangers. Examples found in chemical plants in special appHcations include the foUowing. 

The laboratory operator is offered many choices in selecting utility outlets. A careful study will need to be made in order to select those that give the best combination of performance, durability, safety, and cost for service in a particular laboratory. 

Chlorine dioxide has been evaluated as a replacement for chlorine [1630]. Gaseous chlorine as a biocide for industrial applications is declining because of safety and environmental and community impact considerations. Various alternatives have been explored, for example, bromo-chorodimethyl hydan-toin (BCDMH), nonoxidizing biocides, ozone, and chlorine dioxide. Chlorine dioxide offers some unique advantages because of its selectivity, effectiveness over a wide pH range, and speed of kill. Safety and cost considerations have restricted its use as a viable replacement. 

When using any solvent extraction system, one of the most important decisions is the selection of the solvent to be used. The properties which should be considered when choosing the appropriate solvent are selectivity distribution coefficients insolubility recoverability density interfacial tension chemical reactivity viscosity vapour pressure freezing point safety and cost. A balance must be obtained between the efficiency of extraction (the yield), the stability of the additive under the extraction conditions, the (instrumental and analyst) time required and cost of the equipment. Once extracted the functionality is lost and... 

A number of promising C02 sensors have been described13,33. The phase-fluorometric system employing dual luminophore referencing, which is rather complex (two dyes, internal buffer system, sol-gel polymer matrix), has demonstrated satisfactory working characteristics33. But it still has to prove its safety and cost-effectiveness, and requires extensive validation with real food samples.

There are several factors that need to be fulfilled for batteries to become an alternative option to power vehicles. These are energy density, power density, cycle life, safety and costs. Whereas full HEV applications pose the most demanding requirements for high power density of batteries, BEVs demand the highest possible energy density (see also Table 7.23). 

Ring-opening by azide and the subsequent work-up is not ideal from a point of view of safety and costs and ring-opening by other nucleophiles is attractive. Furthermore, the use of meso compounds restricts the use of the catalyst to a small number of substrates and useful products. 

As of this writing, there is only one commercial manufacturer of dynamite in the United States, Dyno Nobel (Carthage, MO). For most commercial purposes, dynamites have now been replaced by AN-based formulations, which offer a better combination of performance, safety, and cost.

Owing to these problems, the elaboration of denitrification technologies is a central task of environmental chemistry. Electrochemical denitrification is considered as a possible version because of its advantageous environmental compatibility, versatility, safety, and cost-effectiveness in comparison with biological, ion exchange, chemical, and catalytic methods. 

There are two main sonrces for the environmental regnlatory, health and safety, and cost information (Betts, 1998). One is EPA s Tide 3 List of Lists, which describes which chemicals are regnlated by what regnlations. The other source is the Materials Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) that all material manufacturers must fdl out for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The MSDS is a critical element in any environmental smdy.

In conclusion, it is obvious that formulation research is of great importance and it will continue as long as improvements in performance, safety and cost are desired.

Union Carbide showed the possibility of developing D-size hydrogen-nickel batteries with satisfactory performance. However, safety and cost considerations have restricted the applications of such units and the discovery of hydrogen storage alloys led to the development of the nickel-metal hydride secondary cell which was described in Chapter 6. 

We have already described the design of our miniature reactors, the overall concept and the details of the window seals (1,10). Briefly, the cell has a small volume, ca. 2ml, on grounds of both safety and cost (when using scXe ). It is constructed from stainless steel and can be filled from an external syr—- K ... 

Regular inspections of SRVs are necessary to ensure safety. However, here we should define regular, taking into account that inspections are also cosdy and potentially destructive. A delicate balance between safety and cost must be obtained. This is a very complex problem involving multiple factors that include the individual valve s application, pressure, temperature, medium, age, size and type. The problem here is that it is difficult to generalize for the complete valve part. 

Although many mass deacidifications have been developed, it can be stated that none of the technologies offered meets all the criteria. Nevertheless, the DEZ process, Wei T o process, Kopper Process and VPD have demonstrated independently their potential for arresting paper deterioration from acid. To what extent these processes meet the criteria to be used for a practical mass deacidification process is the question that has to be answered. Accordingly, a comparison of the characteristic features of these processes is tabulated in Table I. The evaluation is based on their neutralization chemistry and effectiveness. The engineering design, safety and costs of these processes are not considered in this evaluation. 

Firstly, it was necessary to develop the reaction sequence of the Wittig reaction — synthesis of the phosphonium salt, formation of the ylide and reaction with a carbonyl compound to give the olefin — into an industrial process, under the stringent criteria of safety and cost-efficiency. 

The selection of liquid monofunctional monomers for use in EB cure has been a key factor in the slow pace of development of acceptable formulations. These monomers play dominant roles in determining cure speed, viscosity, safety and cost, in addition to significant contributions to the physical properties of the cured films. 

Although most solid propellants are manufactured in a vertical mixer batch process, a continuous mixing process has been used successfully in the production of the first stage A-3 Polaris propellant and in the NASA 260 inch demonstration motor program. The use of a continuous mixing process, in which propellant chemicals are metered into a helical kneader, offers considerable benefit in terms of safety and cost for large-volume propellant production. 

The advantages cited for the described nonionic micellar cloud point extraction schemes include the following (1) ability to concentrate a variety of analytes (with concentration factors of 10-75), (2) safety and cost benefits (i.e. the use of small amounts of nonionic surfactant as an extraction solvent obviates the need to handle the usually large volumes of organic solvent required in traditional liquid-liquid extractions so that the volatility, flammability, and cost are reduced), (3) easy disposal of the nonionic surfactant extraction solvent (i.e. the nonionic surfactant solution is reportedly easily burned in the presence of waste... 

Each of the above geological formations has its virtues and shortcomings. However, when selecting an optimal option, safety and cost efficiency should be the main criteria.
