Transfer rules

Solvent optimization in reversed-phase liquid chromatography is commenced by selecting a binary mobile phase of the correct solvent strength to elute the seuaple with an acceptable range of capacity. factor values (1 < k <10 in general or 1 < k < 20 when a larger separation capacity is required). Transfer rules (section 4.6.1) are then used to calculate the composition of other isoeluotropic binary solvents with complementary selectivity. In practice, methanol, acetonitrile and tetrahydrofuran are chosen as the selectivity adjusting solvents blended in different...

Previously formulated transfer rules for binary mobile phases in reversed-phase HPLC can be explained by solubility parameter expressions. 

Currently, interpolation of experimental HETP data is the most reliable means of obtaining packed-tower design HETPs. Due to our poor understanding of packing hydraulics and mass transfer, rules of thumb outperform theoretical models, while data interpolation outperforms both (Secs. 9.1.4 to 9.1.6). 

Another approach, based on a study of the retention of a wide variety of solutes by Schoenmakers, is to use transfer rules. This has been quite successful, perhaps because it is based on empirical data, although if the solutes in use are very different from the solutes used to develop the rules then their reliability may suffer. 

In addition some companies have contested Commission decisions in court, e.g. the German utility Energie Baden-Wiirttemberg (EnBW) has taken the Commission to court for approving the so-called transfer rule in the German plan. 

A transfer provision was initially drafted for new plants which had been built to replace old plants. If the operators complied with the requirement of the three-month (without any further examination) to the two-year period (if the respective verifications could be provided) from the closure of the old plant and the opening of the new plant, the allocation to the old plants would be transferred to the new plants without restrictions, provided that the new plants produced comparable products. In addition to the transfer rule - which was considered as a standard - there should be a rule that provides additional new plants (as well as plant expansions) a free allocation on the basis of the planned capacity use and an emission benchmark. The emission benchmark should be orientated towards BAT procedure. Above all, it should not be differentiated by fuel or technologies. As far as electricity production is concerned, a benchmark orientated towards a modern natural gas-fired combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant (365 g CCh/kWh) was scheduled. The allocation calculated in this way should be subject to an ex-post adjustment in the course of the following years. Thus, a special procedure was scheduled for CHP plants. The allocation should be determined with the help of the benchmark for electricity generation as well as the benchmark for heat generation. 

Concerning the terms of the transfer rule and the provisions for additional new plants, the procedure had been specified until the end of the second trading period. The transfer provision should, for plants put into operation within the period 2005-2007, also be applied to the trading period of 2008-2012. The benchmark version for additional new plants should be valid until the end of 2012, without applying a compliance factor. 

The NAP also shows significant changes in the version of the cabinet resolution (BReg 2004c). Here, the transfer rule is limited to a period of four years. Thereafter, the allocation is planned for another fourteen years on the basis of the annual average CO2 emissions in the reference period valid for the respective trading period, without considering a compliance factor. 

Concerning moisture transfer. Rule 1 and Rule 2 mean that internal transfer has to be increased whereas external transfer should be reduced. Exeeeding the... 

Due to the lack of planting of this species, as well as the difficulties in obtaining viable seed, no provenance trials have been established to provide provenance transfer guidelines. In the absence of additional information, for restoration purposes the use of locally collected seed would be advisable. In British Columbia, seed transfer rules for species lacking provenance trial data, including subalpine larch, are 1° latitude S, 2° latitude N, 3° longitude W, 2° longitude E, and 300 m up or 200 m down in elevation from the collection location, based on provenance trial results for other tree species (British Columbia Ministry of Forests, 1995).
