Business Plan for an Existing Company Development

Předmětem diplomové práce je firma IdentCORE působící na trhu identifikačních RFID médií a potisku plastových karet jakožto distributor. Hlavním cílem práce je sestavení podnikatelského plánu, identifikace tržních a produktových příležitostí. Dále vymezení nových příležitostí expanze do některých zemí EU v segmentu RFID komponent. Teoretická část je věnována struktuře, účelu a obsahu podnikatelského plánu společně s definicemi využitých analýz. Praktická část se poté zabývá samotným podnikatelským záměrem s konkrétními dosaženými hodnotami a hodnocením. Výstupem práce je společnost IdentCORE s. r.o. se stanoveným finančním plánem, návrh inovace v produktovém portfoliu a úspěšné implementace e-shopu s novou webovou prezentací.The subject of this thesis is the IdentCORE company operating in the area of identification RFID media and plastic cards printing as a distributor and reseller. The main goal is to build a business plan and to identify the market and product opportunities. Another goal is to identify new opportunities on one of the markets of the EU in the segment of RFID component. The theoretical part is dedicated to the structure, purpose and content of a business plan together with the definitions of the analysis used in this project. The practical part of the business plan itself deals with specific values achieved and the evaluation of those observed. As an output of this work, the establishment of the IdentCORE company with a defined financial plan, design innovation in service offerings and successful implementation of e-shop with a new web presentation, was put in process.

Jar Tests for Water Treatment Optimization

The book is intended as a handbook providing detailed instructions for the correct conducting of jar tests, which are needed for the optimisation of the coagulation/flocculation process. It contains the essential theoretical background of coagulation/flocculation, including a description of the influence of different parameters on the coagulation efficiency of various impurities (e.g. pH value and type/dose of coagulant), and floc properties and their separation (e.g. mixing intensity, mixing time, but also type/concentration of coagulant and impurities). The principle of jar tests is explained and parameters possible to optimize (i.e. coagulation pH, coagulant dose, flocculation aid dose, mixing intensity and mixing time) are discussed. Laboratory equipment for jar tests is proposed, including mixers and instructions for calculating a mixing intensity (necessarily expressed by the global shear rate/velocity gradient G). Mixing intensities for various purposes are recommended. Detailed practical instructions of how to perform jar tests follow, including a determination of the dose of reagents for pH adjustment and coagulant dose, dosing sequence, floc separation after jar tests by sedimentation and/or centrifugation simulating sand filtration, sampling, measuring necessary parameters (pH, coagulant residuals, alkalinity, residual impurity concentrations etc.), data recording, data processing and jar test evaluation (with specific examples). The handbook also contains a supplementary part with tables for conversion of the molar to mass concentration (and vice versa) of coagulants, and instructions for diluting coagulants and reagents for pH adjustment

Gas-liquid mass transfer rates in unbaffled tanks stirred by PBT: scale-up effects and pumping direction

Unbaffled stirred tanks are increasingly recognized as a viable alternative to common baffled tanks for a range of applications such as biochemical, food or pharmaceutical processes where the presence of baffles is undesirable for some reason. In this work, the mass transfer performance of unbaffled stirred tanks with pitched blade turbine, operating either in up-pumping or down-pumping mode, was investigated. The influence of impeller size and liquid viscosity were also investigated. The mass transfer intensity was measured by means of the Simplified Dynamic Pressure. Method: The measurements concerned both coalescent and non-coalescent (viscous) batches. Results: confirm that increasing apparatus size has a slightly positive effect on gas-liquid mass transfer coefficient. It was also found that when the PBT is operating in the up-pumping mode the formation of surface oscillations, which lead to undesired instabilities of the whole apparatus, is conveniently minimized. In the super-critical regime, the unbaffled tanks provide a performance comparable with that of the standard (baffled) bioreactors at the same power dissipation, which makes them a viable alternative for general fermentation operations and other gas–liquid reactions
