The reaction loop section of the vinyl acetate process contains a ßowsheet and unit operations that are typical of many chemical plants ithas bothgasandliquidrecyclestreamswith.

Plant design for the production of vinyl acetate free download as powerpoint presentation ppt pptx pdf file pdf text file txt or view presentation slides online. Our purpose is to offer a realistic example that is uniquely suited for. Abstract a rigorous dynamic plant model of a vinyl acetate monomer vam production was developed. An industrial design control study for the vinyl acetate monomer process.

This monomer is used principally in the production of polyvinyl acetate pvac and other vinyl acetate co polymers. This plant model enables the users to experience realistic plant operation since it reflects the real plant characteristics and practical problems on the basis of experienced practitioners opinions. Polyvinyl acetate is a precursor of polyvinilyc alcohol and polyvinyl acetate resins pva. This paper presents design details of an industrial process for the production of vinyl acetate monomer and thus goes a step beyond the eastman process control challenge problem.

The reaction loop section of the vinyl acetate process contains a flowsheet and unit operations that are typical of many chemical plants. Dynamic simulation of a vinyl acetate monomer process design has been suc cessfblly used to test alternative plantwide control strategies. The vinyl acetate monomer vam process presents several challenging design problems because of the many design optimization variables and several important constraints.
