Some additives have the ability to lower the pour point without lowering the cloud point. A number of laboratory scale flow tests have been developed to provide a better prediction of cold temperature operability. They include the cold filter plugging point (CFPP), used primarily in Europe, and the low temperature flow test (LTFT), used primarily in the United States. Both tests measure flow through filter materials under controlled conditions of temperature, pressure, etc, and are better predictors of cold temperature performance than either cloud or pour point for addithed fuels. 

Normal Operation. The designer of a chemical plant must provide an adequate interface between the process and the operating employees. This is usually accompHshed by providing instmments to sense pressures, temperatures, flows, etc, and automatic or remote-operated valves to control the process and utility streams. Alarms and interlock systems provide warnings of process upsets and automatic shutdown for excessive deviations from the desired ranges of control, respectively. Periodic intermption of operations is necessary to ensure that instmments are properly caUbrated and that emergency devices would operate if needed (see Flow measurement Temperaturemeasurement). 

In order to operate a process facility in a safe and efficient manner, it is essential to be able to control the process at a desired state or sequence of states. This goal is usually achieved by implementing control strategies on a broad array of hardware and software. The state of a process is characterized by specific values for a relevant set of variables, eg, temperatures, flows, pressures, compositions, etc. Both external and internal conditions, classified as uncontrollable or controllable, affect the state. Controllable conditions may be further classified as controlled, manipulated, or not controlled. Excellent overviews of the basic concepts of process control are available (1 6). 

The two steps in the removal of a particle from the Hquid phase by the filter medium are the transport of the suspended particle to the surface of the medium and interaction with the surface to form a bond strong enough to withstand the hydraulic stresses imposed on it by the passage of water over the surface. The transport step is influenced by such physical factors as concentration of the suspension, medium particle size, medium particle-size distribution, temperature, flow rate, and flow time. These parameters have been considered in various empirical relationships that help predict filter performance based on physical factors only (8,9). Attention has also been placed on the interaction between the particles and the filter surface. The mechanisms postulated are based on adsorption (qv) or specific chemical interactions (10). 

A humidification subsystem controls the temperature, flow rate, and relative humidity of the sweep stream. Air and water can be fed to a Hquid-gas packed contactor to produce the desired moisture level ia the vapor stream. The saturation temperature controls the water loading of the air which can be heated to give exactly the desired relative humidity. 

A variant of the H2/NH2 chemical exchange process uses alkyl amines in place of ammonia. Hydrogen exchange catalyzed by NH2 is generaHy faster using alkyl amines than ammonia, and a dual-temperature flow sheet for a H2/CH2NH2 process has been developed (69). 

A regulator is a compact device that maintains the process variable at a specific value in spite of disturbances in load flow. It combines the functions of the measurement sensor, controher, and final control element into one self-contained device. Regulators are available to control pressure, differential pressure, temperature, flow, hquid level, and other basic process variables. They are used to control the differential across a filter press, heat exchanger, or orifice plate. Regulators are used for monitoring pressure variables for redundancy, flow check, and liquid surge relief. 

Chemical inhibitors, when added in small amounts, reduce corrosion by affecting cathodic and/or anodic processes. A wide variety of treatments may be used, including soluble hydroxides, chromates, phosphates, silicates, carbonates, zinc salts, molybdates, nitrates, and magnesium salts. The exact amount of inhibitor to be used, once again, depends on system parameters such as temperature, flow, water chemistry, and metal composition. For these reasons, experts in water treatment acknowledge that treatment should be fine tuned for a given system. 

The turbine temperature, flow, and speed increases in a very short time of about three to five minutes to the full rated parameters. There is usually a short period of time where the temperature may overshoot. If supplementary firing or steam injection for power augmentation is part of the plant system, these should be turned on only after the gas turbine has reached full flow. The injection of steam for power augmentation, if done before full load, could cause the gas turbine compressor to surge.

Using other methods for the calculation of plate count can result in different numbers, depending on peak shape. It should also be kept in mind that many other operational parameters, such as eluent viscosity, column temperature, flow rate, and injection volume, will influence the results of the plate count determination. 

The temperature difference, At, °E, required to satisfy the basic heat transfer relation Q = UA At is the logarithmic mean to the differences in temperatures at the opposite ends of the paths of flow of the two fluids. The temperature flow paths can be represented as shown in Figures 10-30 and 10-31. 

Variations in viscosity of both the incoming and finished products have a dramatic effect on mixer performance. Standard operating procedures should include specific operating guidelines for the range of variation that is acceptable for each application. The recommended range should include adjustments for temperature, flow rates, mixing speeds, and other factors that directly or indirectly affect viscosity. 

The considerations applicable to corrosion test methods also apply to tests for inhibited products. The metals and alloys used, their surface preparation, the temperature, flow rate, composition of the test medium, the presence of heat transfer, and so on, must all be relevant to the proposed use of the inhibited product. As with other test methods there are those tests...
