Significant Improvement in Energy Efficiency in Manufacturing at Rohm and Haas��� Kankakee, Illinois, Plant
No full textSignificant improvement in energy efficiency was achieved at Rohm and Haas��� Kankakee, Illinois facility last year through the combined efforts of all plant personnel. In total, a 24% reduction in energy requirements per pound of product produced was reached compared to 2004. That amounts to $270,000 in savings in 2005 with 1000 fewer tons of CO2 emitted to the environment

No full textDisclosed herein is a composition comprising a graft block copolymer comprising a first block polymer; the first block polymer comprising a backbone polymer and a first graft polymer; where the first graft polymer comprises a surface energy reducing moiety; and a second block polymer; the second block polymer being covalently bonded to the first block; wherein the second block comprises the backbone polymer and a second graft polymer; where the second graft polymer comprises a functional group that is operative to crosslink the graft block copolymer; a photoacid generator; and a crosslinking agent.U
What You Ask For Isn���t Always What You Get
No full textPresentationEngineers designing equipment for a new process routinely specify the required material of construction. But how can we be sure that the specified material of construction was actually installed? These three incidents illustrate the consequence of installing the wrong material of construction and highlight the need for improved systems to ensure that the proper materials are used
Impact of Basic Process Chemistry Issues on Process Safety
No full textPresentationThe greatest opportunities for development of an inherently safer chemical manufacturing process occur at the earliest stages of research and development, in the selection of the chemical synthesis route for the product. Research and development chemists need to be aware of the safety, health, and environmental (SHE) consequences that their early decisions will have on the ultimate SHE characteristics of a commercial manufacturing plant. Inherent SHE characteristics of manufacturing process options must be measured and evaluated at an early stage in development, and these characteristics must be included in the route selection decision process. Examples of the potential benefits of inherently safer chemical synthesis routes will be discussed

Was Murphy Wrong? Thoughts on the Application of Murphy���s Law to the Operation and Design of Chemical Plants
No full textPresentationWe���ve all heard of Murphy���s Law. It has been stated in various forms, generally something like ���If something can go wrong, it will go wrong, and at the worst possible time.��� We often quote Murphy���s Law, often in a light-hearted or joking context. But, do we really believe it? What effect does our belief in Murphy���s Law have on how we actually operate and design chemical plants? Is our application of Murphy���s Law appropriate? How should we be using Murphy���s Law
Inherent Safety and Reliability in Plant Design
No full textPresentationInherent safety principles apply at all stages in a process life cycle. While the biggest gains are achieved early, through the selection of inherently safer process technology, there are many opportunities for enhancing the inherent safety and reliability of a plant at the detailed design stage. Specific examples will be discussed, including examples of pump and compressor selection, vessel design, human factors in equipment design, and design modifications to reduce the frequency of plant startup and shutdown. We will also discuss the connection between the inherent safety of a plant and plant reliability

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
