Start process evaluation

The values given in Table 12.1 and Figure 12.1 can be used for the preliminary sizing of equipment for process evaluation, and as trial values for starting a detailed thermal design. [Pg.638]

A consensus of the workshop was that an engineering analysis should be included early on in the development process. It was recognised that carrying out process evaluations from the start of the work may identify unknown aspects in a new process. In fact evaluations should be carried out during the whole time of process development. [Pg.1669]

With the model of Equation (19) and with a reasonable estimate of the free energies A(fn and AG°3 we can start to evaluate the apparent activation barrier. Before doing so, we must clarify several points (i) A Marcus type relationship and the corresponding LFERs are only valid for a two-state system (1 —>2), i.e., for a reaction with a single step. However, we have a three-state process that involves a two-step mechanism (1 ->2->3). Fitting such a system to a Marcus type formula can lead to nonphysical parameters (e.g., too small of a value for X). (ii) In order to use the HAW approach in a three-state system (or in a four-state system) we must consider the elementary rate constants and then consider the preequilibrium concentrations. [Pg.274]

A method for carrying out process evaluation during project execution and/or immediately prior to entering start-up procedures was formalized and pioneered in the early 1960s by ICI (Imperial Chemical Industries, UK) [10.2]. The technique, called Hazard and Operability study (HAZOP), is designed to minimize sources and occurrences of failure. Basically, it is a deviation analysis. [Pg.975]

The decision of whether to work with 2-spinors or a scalar spin-orbital basis must be made at an early stage of computer program construction because it affects all stages of the SCF process evaluation of the integrals, construction of the Fock matrix, and solution of the SCF equations. However, at each stage, the scalar spin-orbital basis can be transformed to the 2-spinor basis. Transformation of the integrals to a 2-spinor basis is not particularly difficult it is similar in principle to the transformation from Cartesians to spherical harmonics. Some efforts have been made to develop new algorithms in which these transformations are incorporated, and RKB is implemented from the start in the 2-spinor basis (Quiney et al. 1999, 2002, Yanai et al. 2002). [Pg.201]

Richard C. Baiiie has more than ten years of experience in process evaluation, pilot plant operation, plant start-up, and industrial consulting. He also ran his own chemical company. He is professor emeritus at WVU, having taught chemical engineering for more than 20 years. [Pg.23]

Once a business decision is made to consider producing a certain product-in this example, polyvinyl chioride-the initial project team is assembled. This team will start by evaluating potential process routes to identify a technology that will satisfy production needs while meeting responsibilities for health, safety, and protection of the environment. [Pg.10]

Thermal Stresses. When the wak of a cylindrical pressure vessel is subjected to a temperature gradient, every part expands in accordance with the thermal coefficient of linear expansion of the steel. Those parts of the cylinder at a lower temperature resist the expansion of those parts at a higher temperature, so setting up thermal stresses. To estimate the transient thermal stresses which arise during start-up or shutdown of continuous processes or as a result of process intermptions, it is necessary to know the temperature across the wak thickness as a function of radius and time. Techniques for evaluating transient thermal stresses are available (59) but here only steady-state thermal stresses are considered. The steady-state thermal stresses in the radial, tangential, and axial directions at a point sufficiently far away from the ends of the cylinder for there to be no end effects are as fokows ... [Pg.85]

The process involving aHyl alcohol has not been iadustriaHy adopted because of the high production cost of this alcohol However, if the aHyl alcohol production cost can be markedly reduced, and also if the evaluated cost of hydrogen chloride, which is obtained as a by-product from the substitutive chlorination reaction, is cheap, then this process would have commercial potential. The high temperature propylene—chlorination process was started by SheH Chemical Corporation ia 1945 as an iadustrial process (1). The reaction conditions are a temperature of 500°C, residence time 2—3 s, pressure 1.5 MPa (218 psi), and an excess of propylene to chlorine. The yield of aHyl chloride is 75—80% and the main by-product is dichloropropane, which is obtained as a result of addition of chlorine. Other by-products iaclude monochioropropenes, dichloropropenes, 1,5-hexadiene. At low temperatures, the amount of... [Pg.76]

A hierarchical design procedure for process synthesis can be used in conjunction with a flow-sheeting program to analyze, evaluate, and optimize the options (60). The emphasis is on starting with the simplest possible models that will give answers to a particular question quickly so that the questions to be asked at the next decision level can be formulated. At each stage, it is necessary to ensure that the level of detail in the model is sufficient to give rehable information. [Pg.82]

Product Recovery. Comparison of the electrochemical cell to a chemical reactor shows the electrochemical cell to have two general features that impact product recovery. CeU product is usuaUy Uquid, can be aqueous, and is likely to contain electrolyte. In addition, there is a second product from the counter electrode, even if this is only a gas. Electrolyte conservation and purity are usual requirements. Because product separation from the starting material may be difficult, use of reaction to completion is desirable ceUs would be mn batch or plug flow. The water balance over the whole flow sheet needs to be considered, especiaUy for divided ceUs where membranes transport a number of moles of water per Earaday. At the inception of a proposed electroorganic process, the product recovery and refining should be included in the evaluation to determine tme viabUity. Thus early ceU work needs to be carried out with the preferred electrolyte/solvent and conversion. The economic aspects of product recovery strategies have been discussed (89). Some process flow sheets are also available (61). [Pg.95]
