The production of vinyl chloride is almost exclusively carried out through the so-called balanced process, in which ethylene, chlorine and oxygen are converted into the product, 2-dichloroethane. If the reactor network was configured to be a PFR under vinyl chloride monomer plant conditions. PRO II Case Study 6. then the quantity of trichloroethane produced per kg of EDC formed. the quantity of carbon oxides produced per kg of EDC formed. 03, compared to our results; Economic Optimization of the Vinyl Chloride Monomer Production ProcessThe aim of this study is to analyze changes in reactor structures when the objective is to maximize pre-tax profit rather than conversion. The schematic diagram of vinyl chloride monomer shown in the figure used in this study. The objective function, pre-tax profit, includes welded joints as critical regions in pressure vessels - TA Vinyl Chloride Monomer Storage Case Study. nk.pdf.

PVC manufacturing is a major industry in China, with a total annual production of two to three million tonnes to date. 's, China began producing PVC, production increased to 400. VC vinyl chloride is manufactured exclusively for polymerization into polyvinyl chloride PVC, a plastic used in the construction, packaging industries , electricity and transport in household products such as flooring, water. pipes, video discs and credit cards and in medical products such as disposable intravenous bags, tubes. This case study presents an application of the reactor network synthesis strategy based on mixed-integer nonlinear programming Lakshmanan and Biegler, 1996a. A candidate processing scheme is proposed based on these results and a set of recommendations is given to improve the selectivity of vinyl chloride production.
