Associated with the 4000,000 MTPY VCM Plant -IPP Stock #600847

This 150 kmta PVC Plant uses licensed technology from Ineos Vinyl.  The process employs “closed-lid” and VCM stripping technology.  The reactors are designed to remain closed in between batches and unreacted VCM is removed with a stripping column for recycle.

Engineering was by Technip and the plant started up in 2001.  The last major turnaround was in September, 2012 and the plant was shut down in December, 2012.

The plant produces K57, K66-R-G-F, and K70 grades

Complete EDC/VCM plant available as well.

All field instrumentation is electronic.  Redundant Micromotion flow meters are used for critical fluid measurements, even on lines up to 6” diameter.

Utility systems include instrument air compressors (3), nitrogen booster compressor, major electrical transformers (11), thermal oxidizers (2), waste water treatment facility, and fire water pumps (3).

Subtypes: Polypropylene Plant

Capacity: 225,000 TPY

The polymerization plant (PPU) has a capacity of 225,000 tons per year and is a Unipol technology plant, with two gas phase reactors, so can produce homopolymers, random copolymers and impact copolymers. The extruder is a Coperion ZSK300, with a 5.5MW Loher main motor and associated transformer. The extruder also has a Maag polymer pump, Gottfert on-line rheometer, and electric hot oil systems for the die plate and barrel. There are six, 280t capacity pellet silos downstream of the extruder, three with air spinner container loading spouts.

There are also another 280t silo, one 140t silo and three 70t silos.

There are also six air blowers for the dilute phase conveying of the pellets from the extruder to the silos or between silos. There are also two Atlas Copco GA132 compressors to drive the air spinners and silo purging. There is also a Refinery Grade Propylene (RGP) purification system which includes a Propylene Treatment Plant (PTP) which contains alumina bed driers, a de-ethaniser column, and a de-butaniser column. The PTP supplies treated RGP to a propane-propylene splitter (PPS). The PPS is a heat pump design for minimum utilities demand. The PTP has a RGP feed capacity of 26 t/hr, whilst the PPS has an RGP feed capacity of 16 t/hr at 70% propylene to produce 11 t/hr polymer grade propylene (PGP) at 98% recovery and 99.0% purity. The PPU, extruder and PPS were commissioned in September 1991. The PTP was commissioned in April 1995. There is a fibre glass cooling water tower comprised of four 15MW cells and three 450kW water circulation pumps. This was commissioned in October 2010.

Subtypes: Bi-Oriented Polypropylene Film (BOPP)

Capacity: 90 ktpa BOPP

Raw Materials: Isotactic Polypropylene

1. Bi-oriented polypropylene film (BOPP) has been used for decades in the flexible packaging industry. It is widely appreciated for its low cost, excellent optical and mechanical characteristics, and its outstanding gas barrier property (particularly to water vapor). The film thickness ranges from 15 to 60 micron, and is composed of at least three layers: the middle layer is the thickest and contributes almost exclusively to the mechanical properties; the two outer layers lend various properties to the film (i.e. heat-sealing properties). Depending on what the final application the film is intended for, additives may be added, in order to fully meet the application requirements. 1. Raw material feeding system The main raw material, in the central layer, is the isotactic Polypropylene, a semi-crystalline and thermoplastic material. Whereas, for the outer layers, ethylene-propylene and/or ethylene-butane-propylene copolymers are used. These materials are introduced inside the extruders by a hopper system.
2. Extrusion - Inside the extruders, the materials are melted and brought to 200-230°C and then conveyed through the extrusion head, where they emerge in the form of foil.
3. The foil cooling - The foil is then placed in direct contact with a cooled cylinder and immersed in a water bath to quench the melt.
4. Machine direction orientation (MDO) - The film then passes over a series of rollers, which increase the temperature and prearrange it to stretch longitudinally (machine direction). The stretching is achieved by passing the foil between the rollers that run at increasing speeds. As a rule, the foil is stretched up to five times the initial length and, at this stage the polymer chains are aligned. This stage allows the enhancing of the film's mechanical properties, also, the thickness is reduced up to five times. After stretching, the film is heated once again in order to neutralize the stress accumulated during the stretching (annealing phase).
5. Transverse direction orientation (TDO) - Once out of the longitudinal stretching zone, the film is gripped on both edges by a fast-moving chain of metal jaws (tenter clips). In the tenter, the film goes into an oven, where its temperature rises before being stretched transversely by the diverging rails (i.e. stretching in transverse direction up to 9 times its original width). At this stage, the macromolecules align, this time in transverse direction, enhancing the film mechanical properties and reducing the thickness up to 9 times. Following the stretching stage, the chain and the film converge , so that the film neutralizes the stress accumulated during the stretching (annealing phase).
6. Thickness measurement and flame treatment The film reaches a new processing stage where it takes the automatic measurement of the thickness (along the entire width). Afterwards, one of the faces is subject to the flame or corona treatment to make the film suitable for the following conversion activities, namely, modifying the surface, that is intended to anchor materials such as ink (printing process), adhesive (lamination process), or metal (metallization process).
7. Reel winding - The film is wrapped around a reel and is slit according to the requested dimensions.
