    This document outlines formulas and calculations for process gas at a nominal startup rate of 8.0 mtpd and minimum of 8 mtpd. It provides formulas for determining the flow rates of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine, and water based on process variables like temperature, pressure, and composition ratios. It also includes a table that varies the chlorine production rate from 8 to 20 mtpd and calculates the corresponding hydrogen and water flow rates based on the inputs and formulas.
