Process Description

The natural gas feedstock is first preheated and de‐sulphurized (382°C/25bar), absorption is carried out over Zinc oxide granules, and then reacted with steam to produce a reformed gas/steam mixture at 860°C temperature and 21 bar pressure.

The reforming reaction is basically the reaction between a hydrocarbon and steam to produce carbon  monoxide and hydrogen. In the presence of excess steam these basic products are modified to produce quantities of carbon dioxide and methane, giving a reformed gas consisting of methane, carbon  dioxide, carbon monoxide and hydrogen.

The reformed gas/steam mixture is then cooled, separated from process condensate and passed into the make‐up gas compressor where the gas is compressed (36°C /17bar) to a high pressure (113°C/49bar)  to be injected into the methanol synthesis loop.

With Carbon Dioxide Additions, the external supply of carbon dioxide is mixed with the high pressure gases from the make‐up gas compressor before injection into the synthesis loop.

Synthesis gases are circulated at high flow rates through a methanol synthesis catalyst held at moderate temperatures (135°C/52bar) where hydrogen reacts with carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide to produce gaseous methanol.

Cooling of the circulated gas condenses crude liquid methanol which is bled from the system and sent to crude storage. The remaining gases are then replenished with make‐up gas before entering the synthesis gas circulator to pass round the loop again.

Inert gases (methane) present in the reformed gas accumulate in the loop and are bled from the system to be burnt as fuel.

The crude methanol contains small concentrations of other organic chemicals synthesized in the methanol converter.

The crude product is then taken from storage, fractionated in two distillation columns and the pure methanol passed to purified product storage tanks.

•  The Brine Stripping Distillation Process System is designed to remove light organics from a brine stream using a live-steam fed stripping column. This equipment was previously used in the Procter and Gamble Tertiary Amines Plant in the United States for removing di-methyl amine in a brine stream from a level of about 5% down to a level of less than 18 ppm. 
  

•  Alternative uses for the Brine Stripping Distillation Process include the separation or removal of light organics from any heavy organic or brine stream. 
  

•  The Honeywell 3000 process control system and program are available with this process, as is all necessary documentation (equipment files, P&IDs, PFDs, operating manuals, etc.). All pressure vessels have National Board numbers, and spare parts are available for most equipment. The plant has been properly cleaned of all chemicals. This site is very accessible by road and rail. Equipment can be barged from the local docks only a few miles away on a major river.

Formaldehyde Plant (Reichhold Design using metal oxide catalyst).

Available for operation in-place (Allentown, PA USA) or relocation globally.

Process Description:

The Formaldehyde plant (P501) is designed to produce formaldehyde by the catalytic conversion of methanol and oxygen controlled recycle gas. Formaldehyde is produced by the direct oxidation of methanol from the Methanol Storage Tank and Piping (P502). Emissions from the methanol storage tank and piping, during truck unloading, are captured by the Methanol Vapor Recovery System (C502). Emissions not captured by the vapor recovery system are fugitive emissions (Z550). The catalytic conversion reaction is carried out with the aid of a catalyst, which consists of molybdenum and iron oxides. The process gas is passed through the catalyst, contained in a multiple tube unit called the converter. It both heats the air-methanol mixture to the reaction temperature in the upper part of the catalyst tube and removes the heat of the reaction in the lower part. The formalin gases, which leave the converter, are cooled in an after-cooler where low-pressure steam is produced. The cooled gases enter an absorber where the formaldehyde is absorbed into water to produce up to a 53.0% Formaldehyde solution. In order to reach desired production rates, it is necessary to operate the plant under recycle conditions. Part of the gas mixture leaving the absorber stack is returned to a recycle tank where it is mixed with fresh air, at a controlled rate, to maintain oxygen content of 10 — 10.5% by volume. The remaining unused gas mixture goes to the Natural Gas fired (FML541) Catalytic Oxidizer (C501) where it is preheated and oxidized, in the presence of a catalyst, to harmless byproducts. These byproducts are released to the atmosphere through the Formaldehyde Incinerator Stack (5501).

Production Process Description

Process Characteristics

Using “excess air + solid sulfur” incineration process, the obtained sulfur dioxide gas concentration is about 12%~15%. Control the reasonable sulfur incineration temperature to ensure complete combustion of sulfur.

Using our proprietary technology for solid sulfur feed system, so that the sulfur incinerator temperature is stable, the sublimation sulfur is less in the flue gas. The plant is designed with negative pressure air blowing system, which has good operating environment, and sulfur yield is high.

Using automatic continuous discharging centrifuge, which is a continuous automatic operation, is safe and reliable, saving manpower.

The low concentration sulfuric acid waste liquid is used for production of Magnesium Sulfate products, so the plant has no waste liquid effluent discharge.

Perfect design of exhaust gas treatment. In the waste gas, SO2 concentration is less than 50mg/Nm3（SO2≤50mg/Nm3）.

Process Description

Air Compression and purification section

The air is filtration by air filter, and then is feed into air compressor, the air is compressed by air compressor and is feed into sulfur incinerator, the air burning with solid sulfur and obtain sulfur dioxide gas (SO2).

After burning, the hot flue gas is enter the flue gas buffer tank, and then is enter the cooling pipe, using circulating water to cooling the flue gas, the flue gas is cooling to 50~60℃ and then is feed into flue gas scrubber, through bubble washing to remove SO3 of flue gas. After the flue gas scrubber, using stage of separator to separation and removal of entrained droplets of flue gas. The scrubbing obtained dilute sulfuric acid is collected and used to produce Magnesium Sulfate by-product. The purified sulfur dioxide gas is sent (through pipeline) to sodium Metabisulfite synthesis section.

SO3 + H2O = H2SO4 

Soda ash solution batching and sodium Metabisulfite synthesis section

Put solid soda ash (Na2CO3) into the soda ash batching kettle of sodium Metabisulfite synthesis section, add water and mother liquor (the filter liquor) of sodium Metabisulfite centrifuge and mixed into suspension, and then pumping the suspension into sodium Metabisulfite synthesis reactors, and feeds clean sulfur dioxide gas successively into the first stage, second stage and third stage synthesis reactors, after synthesis reaction, get sodium Metabisulfite suspension in the first stage synthesis reactor. The reaction tail gas is discharged from the third stage synthesis reactor, and is lead into the scrubbing tower for treatment.

Na2CO3 + 2SO2 = Na2S2O5 + CO2 

Centrifuge & drying process

The Sodium Metabisulfite suspension is discharged from the first stage synthesis reactor and stored into slurry tank, and then from the slurry tank feed into centrifugal, through centrifugal separation and get wet solid Sodium Metabisulfite, which is content 3~5% water, feed the wet Sodium Metabisulfite into hot air dryer (airflow drier), and through cyclone separators, get Sodium Metabisulfite products. The filtrate is collected into the acid mother liquor tank, reused for soda ash solution batching kettle. The drying use hot air comes from the waste heat recovery jacket of sulfur incinerator. After drying, the tail gas is send into tail gas absorption column.

Tail gas treatment section

The tail gas countercurrent contact with soda ash solution, the sulfur dioxide gas in the tail gas was absorbed by soda ash solution, the tail gas was cleaned and emptying **(SO2≤50mg/Nm3)**. The absorption solution reused for soda ash solution batching.

Liquid waste treatment section

In the flue gas scrubber of sulfite dioxide purification section, the sulfite trioxide is absorbed by water and get concentration of 50~60% dilute sulfuric acid liquid waste, which is used to produce Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate by-products.

MgO + H2SO4 + 6H2O = MgSO4·7H2O

In melamine synthesis, urea is converted to melamine at approx. 400 °c and approx. 2 bar at a Si02 I Al203 catalyst in a synthesis line. As a by-product, ammonia and carbon dioxide are produced in stoichiometric quantities in the process gas.

Hydrogen cyanide as well as multinuclear condensation products of melamine and (partially) hydrolyzed melamine derivatives are also produced in small quantities as secondary components. After separating the melamine from the process gas, it is fed via catalytic decomposers to minimize the minor components. The process gas is then fed to the process gas separation plant in U 024. In addition, a partial flow in the process gas processing can be processed into ammonium nitrate solution and delivered to external factories such as the field fertilizer factory or the nitric acid factory. These plants are not part of the melamine factory, but the exhaust gas flow is generated and must be supplied.

Liquid ammonia (approx. 11 bar) from the gas separation plant is supplied to the external urea factory, fed into the plant network or fed back into the melamine synthesis. The C02-containing residual gases from the process gas processing plant U 028 and the process gas separation plant U 024 are emitted via the outlets

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.
