PROJECT DEFINITION

The project is to develop a 100 MTPD Isopropyl Alcohol and


50 MTPD Acetone production plant using propylene and water
as raw materials at Keraniganj by the side of river Buriganga,
Dhaka. The raw material propylene is imported from China
and the weather condition varies from 140C to 340C with an
average annual rainfall 1493mm.
Design Basis
Geological Data
Soil Type
 Grey Floodplain Soils.
 Grey, finely mottled brown, seasonally flooded soils with seasonally acid top-
soil and near neutral subsoils.
 Arsenic content is below WHO limit.
Seismic condition
Recent seismic data reveals that the earthquake magnitude ranges up to 6 in
Richter Scale

Plant Location

Keraniganj is selected for the


plant and the reasons behind
choosing it-
1. Easy supply of raw materials
2. Unlimited fresh water supply
3. Ease of water discharge
system.
4. Environmental factors
5. Enough free space to build an
industry
Selection of Process
IPA Production Plant
Direct and Indirect Process
Better successes achieved using Direct Process
Lower energy cost than indirect process
Indirect process is more corrosive.
During Regeneration of Sulphuric Acid large amount of Sulpher Di Oxide
is discharged
Selection of Process
IPA Production Plant
The Cumene Hydroperoxide Process for Phenol and
Acetone
 Isopropyl Alcohol Dehydrogenation
Direct Oxidation of Hydrocarbons to a Number of
Oxygeanted Products
Selected process for IPA:

Direct Hydration of Propylene


Latest Process

higher yields and productivity

lower labor costs


Selected process for Acetone:

Dehydrogenation of Isopropyl Alcohol


Raw Materials

 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.

Conclusion

CHE 408 is the beginning to familiarize with design on an industrial


basis. As a Chemical Engineer, knowledge about basic considerations
for chemical plant implementation will be achieved through this course
and we are thankful to our supervisor Mr. Sirajul Haque Khan for his
consistent help.
Thank You!
