    This document provides information about a polymer production process operating at a rate of 10,000 kg/h. It gives the process flow diagram and performs a material balance calculation to determine the stream flows, including 11,223 kg/h of monomer feed, 10,101 kg/h of feed water, 11 kg/h of catalyst, and polymer product of 10,000 kg/h with 101 kg/h of losses. It also calculates flows of unreacted monomer, short stopper, wash water, water to the recovery column, water to the dryer, recycled monomer, and effluent streams.

    Given: Polymer Production
    Production Rate = 10,000 kg/h

    Required:​ Stream flows

    Solution:

    Process Flow Diagram

    Overall Material Balance: F eed = P roduct + Losses

    Basis: 1 hour Operation

    At Boundary 2:

    Material Balance at Dryer:

    F f = P olymer + Losses
    P olymer 10,000kg
    Ff = 100−.01
    = .99
    = 10, 101 kg
    Losses = 10, 101 − 10, 000 = 101 kg

    Belmis, Victoria Marian
    Tadena, Camille
    Velasco, Lorraine

    At Boundary 1:

    Material Balance:
    0.90M f = F f

    For Feed,
    F f 10,101 kg
    Mf = %Conversion
    = 0.90
    = 11, 223 kg

    Therefore, Unreacted Monomer ( M R )


    MR = Mf − F f
    M R = 11, 223 − 11, 101 = 1122 kg

    For Short Stopper,


    0.5 kg Short stop
    S hort Stop = 1, 122 kg unreacted monomer × 1000 kg unreacted monomer = 0.6 kg

    For Catalysts,
    1 kg catalyst
    C = 11, 223 monomer × 1000 kg monomer = 11 kg

    For Water at Feed,


    11,223 monomer
    0.20 monomer
    water = 11,223 + W
    11,223(1−0.20)
    W = 0.20 = 44, 892 kg

    At Boundary 2: ​Water Balance: W + W w = W R + W d

    W d = F f × 0.05 = 505 kg
    1 kg water
    Ww = F f × 1 kg polymer = 10, 101 kg (1) = 10, 101 kg

    WR = W + Ww − Wd
    W R = 44, 892 + 10, 101 − 505 = 54, 448

    At Recovery Column:

    M Rec = 0.98M R = 0.98(1122) = 1100 kg


    E M = 0.02M R = 0.02(1122) = 22 kg
    E W = W R = 54, 448 kg

    For Fresh Monomer Feed:

    M F F + M Rec = M f
    M F F = M f − M Rec = 11, 223 − 1100 = 10, 123 kg

    Results:

    Monomer Feed 11,223 kg/hr

    Fresh Monomer Feed 10,123 kg/hr

    Feed Water 44, 892 kg/hr

    Catalyst 11 kg/hr

    Unreacted Monomer 1,122 kg/hr

    Short Stopper 0.6 kg/hr

    Wash Water 10,101 kg/hr

    Water to Recovery Column 54,448 kg/hr

    Water to Dryer 505 kg/hr

    Dryer Feed 10,101 kg/hr

    Polymer Product 10, 000 kg/hr

    Losses 101 kg/hr

    Recycled Monomer 1100 kg/hr

    Fresh Monomer Feed 10,123 kg/hr

    Monomer at Effluent 22 kg/hr

    Water at Effluent 54,488 kg/hr
