Technology of the Process

Process technology information will be a part of the process safety information package and typically includes company established criteria for maximum inventory levels for process chemicals limits beyond which would be considered upset conditions and a qualitative estimate of the consequences or results of deviation that could occur if operating beyond the established process limits. Companies are encouraged to use diagrams that will help users understand the process. 

A block flow diagram is used to show the major process equipment and interconnecting process flow lines and flow rates, stream composition, temperatures, and pressures when necessary for clarity. The block flow diagram is a simplified diagram.

The written process safety information shall be prepared by the employer before conducting process hazard analysis. It shall include information on hazards of the hazardous chemicafs used or produced by the process, information pertaining to the technology of the process, and information pertaining to the equipment in the process. 

The thermal stability and lightfastness of polyesters is particularly necessary for technical and high-performance applications. The modification of the polymer causes disorder and affects the stability as well as some other properties. PET modified by DEG suffers particularly from photo-oxidative reactions due to the presence of the sensitive ether bonds. These copolymers need special stabilization depending on the kind and degree of modification. The UV stability can also be influenced by the technology of the process, whereby slight improvements of DMT-based polymer are observed [29],... 

A few authors, e.g. Kobe and his co-workers [117, 119], Orlova [123] have found that the rate of nitration greatly depends on the intensity of agitation of a reacting mixture. This is discussed in a more detailed way in the chapter devoted to the practical principles of nitration, i.e. the technology of the process and apparatus for nitration (pp. 152, 266, 288, 314). 

With a few exceptions, polymerizations are strongly exothermic (see Chap. 5, Sect. 1.1). Therefore removal of the heat of polymerization is the main problem affecting the construction of polymerization reactors and the technology of the process. The kinetics of the process also determines the technology, with the stringent requirement of the purity of medium. In chemistry perhaps only the preparation of semiconductors poses higher requirements on the purity of raw materials and on the prevention of contamination than... 

Information concerning the technology of the process shall include at least the following ... 

In 2013 International Educational Master s programme Supercritical Fluid Technologies of the Processes of Raw Hydrocarbon Deep Conversion was developed. It was launched in 2014. This programme is very appropriate and innovative for Tatarstan, as in this part of Russia, petrochemistry is an economic priority, and based on the competence approach the results will be estimated in credits for the whole course and each discipline. 

The process is currently used almost exclusively for the treatment of relatively small volumes of gas, where the amount of sulfur removed does not justify the expense and complexity of a regenerative process with sulfur recovery. However, because of the widespread u.se of the process in the past, and the extensive scientific and engineering base that was developed to support it, a brief description of the background and technology of the process follows. More detailed descriptions of several iron oxide-based proces.ses, design approache.s, and operating experiences are given in previous editions of this book. 

Substantial economies accrue from the achievements of chemistry only after these have been introduced on a large scale industrially, and the economic effect is greater, the more refined the technology of the process. 

The sdence of recycle processes covers a wide range of chemical engineering problems, and offers wide possibilities for the development and improvement of the technology of the processes in various fields of chemistry. By means of this science it has been possible to obtain rigorous and definitive answers to a large number of general and fundamental problems in chemical engineering. 

For a clear description of the history and technology of the process, see Krogerus, The Outokumpu process Flash smelting of lead concentrates in ELDC Proceedings (1990).
