PROJECT DEFINITION
Atmospheric Pressure
Propylene
Water
Reaction Involved
IPA Production
Propylene+ Water Isopropyl Alcohol
Acetone Production
Isopropyl Alcohol Acetone+ Hydrogen
Process Description
Propylene is heated , pressurized and then fed to the RD column with pressurized
water. 91% IPA is produced from the RD column. Unreacted propylene is recycled
and mixed with the feed stream. Some of the IPA is stored and some are fed to the
Acetone reactor which is followed by the product acetone+hydrogen ,unreacted
IPA is sent to a flash separator through a condenser. The gases consisting of the
remaining quantities of IPA and acetone are absorbed into water using a water
scrubber. The acetone + IPA obtained from the condenser and water +
IPA+acetone are sent to an acetone distillation column that separates acetone as
the top product and IPA + water as bottom product. The bottom product IPA+
water is sent to a IPA column and then the separated IPA is recycled to the IPA
feed. And the Acetone is stored.
