1. Acknowledgement of upcoming
technical visit
Thank you for allowing us to visit to ABC Corporation. Dr. Chang, Mr.
Lin and myself would like to thank you in advance for meeting us at
the Novotel (Europa BLVD 10, NL-1083 AD, Tel: 20-54111-23) at
9:00 on August 28.
My colleague Mr. Chen and I will be attending the 1993 North
American Meeting of the Cayalysis Society to be held in Pittsburgh.
While we are in America, we would like to take the opportunity to
visit the ABC Research Center in San Francisco on May 7 (Following
the meeting, we will fly directly to San Francisco). We would
appreciate it if you could arrange a visiting program for us.
As stated in our fax dated July 29, we would like to visit your LBR
test unit and the ABC Treatment Plant-Apeldoorn, as well as discuss
the details of our cooperative agreement.
2. Topics of discussion
We thought that it would be a good idea to pose the following questions before the
August 28 discussion, to allow you time to prepare your responses:
1. Since it is quite expensive, in Taiwan, to drill a 1225m deephole in Taiwan, would it be
possible to instead drill a 600m deephole with an additional pressure of 60 Kg/cm on the
ground surface to meet the 1225m vertical pressure?
2. The periodic operation for ABC Treatment Systems takes approximately 168/hrs per week
(143 hrs for operation, 25 hrs for start-up, maintenance and clean-up). Can the operation
period be extended? If not, is a batch operation performed each week?
3. The operating pressure of the ABC Treatment System ranges from 1250-1617 psi. We
wonder how the operating pressure is determined?
4. What is the oxygen content of the discharged gas after treatment? Is this amount of oxygen
worth recovering? What is the temperature of the steam generated by the cooling water or
the heat exchanger? Is it worth recovering the heat?
5. Could ABC provide more detailed information on cost analysis for our plant's future reference?
6. Was geology a concern when ABC designed the ABC Treatment System?
7. Because of the small piping and valving on the LBR, samples containing solids must be
macerated and sieved to produce a particle size less than 0.32cm. How did you achieve that
and how did you measure particle sizes less than 0.32 cm?
8. The ABC Treatment Plant generates 2280 tons of dried sludge per year. What is the water
content of this dried sludge? What is the total daily sludge yield from the ABC Treatment
Systems?
2. Topics of discussion (cont)
We would like to discuss the following
topics:
1. The function of ABC's software in catalysis
application.
2. The performance of ABC software in Zeolite
analysis and how to use the software.
3. ABC software analysis of organometallics.
4. How to use your software to estimate the
layer distance of pillaring clays.
3. Closing
I hope that these questions will give you a
clearer idea of some of the topics we hope to
cover during the upcoming visit. I am looking
forward to meeting you on August 28.
Please let me know if it is convenient for us to
visit on May 7. If so, could you arrange for a our
of your facilities? I am looking forward to hearing
from you.
