production of process of 32000ton /year of vinyl acetate monomer (VAM)

تاریخ : اگست ۲۰۲۳ - جولائی ۲۰۲۴

<div><p>The production of vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) represents one of the largest industries with a growth estimate of a near 4% per year. There are several alternatives for such process to be considered, however, the reaction between acetic acid, ethylene and oxygen in a presence of Pd-based catalyst is selected as the manufacture route. In addition, advantages and disadvantages of each possible solution will be discussed and the most reliable traditional method was selected. . The main aim of the project is to develop a chemical engineering approach to a real industrial challenge taking into consideration economic and marketing situation in the country and in global scale, safety issues and risks evaluation. In this project rate of production and product purity need to be specified. The reaction is conducted in a plug-flow reactor with required reaction conditions followed and necessary calculations performed. The reaction occurs in a gas phase with an emission of carbon dioxide, removal of which will be considered by new separation techniques such as membrane separator which is very economical as compare to other techniques. In order to obtain pure vinyl acetate, the separation section for the process will be designed by dividing it into gas and liquid phases. After obtaining pure vinyl acetate recycle options can be provided. In preceding chapters introduction to different equipment’s of plant along with their designing procedure and specification sheets is presented. Instrumentation &amp; Control, HAZOP Study, and Cost Estimation for this plant is also included in this project.</p></div>
