OR-5 Plant Tests Expected Benefit toMembers: Increased confidence in the scale up of FRI correlations would provide for more economic designs. Present Situation and Proposed Research: This item has been attempted in the past and has failed due to the need for an industrial partner. Proposal: • Identify an industrial partner who is willing to take the steps necessary to allow data collection on a large column. • Instrument the column as needed for data collection. • Conduct the plant test. • Reduce the data using standard FRI data reduction methods. • Compare the reduced data to comparable FRI data and FRI correlations. Proposed Internals and Test System: Whatever is installed in member column. Estimated Unit Time: Conducted in a member unit, so no column time is needed. Estimated Additional Costs (Beyond Unit Time): Additional instrumentation required for FRI data reduction; staff travel expenses to site ($50,000). Background and Discussion: None. Traditional Research Idea
