The brief description of Project is given below: POLY VINYL CHLORIDE PLANT VPPL proposes to buy a PVC plant form Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas) in Malaysia. This plant is capable of producing suspension grade PVC (grades K57, K67 and K70). The manufacture of suspension grade PVC is envisaged through vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) route, where VCM is polymerized to produce the PVC slurry using agitators and additives. The license for the plant shall be provided by Ineos Technologies, UK., the world’s largest PVC technology provider having long standing experience in the related field. Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) is the most versatile thermoplastic forming on one extreme, highly rigid products such as pipes and profiles and on the other, highly flexible products such as soft leather cloth & flexible footwear. The basic structure of this polymer is (C2H3Cl)n. The degree of polymerization varies from 300 to 1500. The chlorine content in PVC is about 57% by weight which makes it less dependent on hydrocarbon content. Review of Process Technology There are mainly four polymerization routes for the manufacture of PVC. They are as follows : Process Route Suspension Polymerization Emulsion Polymerization Bulk or Mass Polymerization % of World Production 80 10 8-10 It can be seen from above that suspension polymerization is the most prevalent technology in the world today. The leading licensors for this technology are Ineos Technologies (UK) and Oxy Vinyl Corporation (US) In this process Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) droplets are dispersed in water medium aided with suspending agents and agitation in the Reactors/ polymerizers. Polymerization of VCM to PVC takes place in this medium initiated by peroxide catalyst. Multiple batch reactors discharge into a continuous polymer separation and finishing line. The polymer slurry from the reactors is first separated from unconverted VCM by degassing and steam stripping. Water is separated from the polymer by means of centrifuging followed by drying. PVC produced through the Emulsion polymerization process is mainly used as latex or paste in specialty applications. In Europe manufacture of PVC started with the emulsion process. The process is similar to the suspension process except that large amounts of emulsifying agents are used which result in very fine PVC particles. Consequently, separation of these fine PVC particles from water cannot be done by centrifuging action. Hence this technology employs spray dryers to separate water from the fine PVC particles. Production capacity Plant capable of manufacturing K-57, K-66,K-70 grades of suspension PVC. Low K value and High K Value grades also can be produced. The plant is capable to produce the full range of PVC grades for fulfilling most market requirements. 150,000 MTPA expandable to 200,000 MTPA within the same infrastructure without any further expansions. The plant at present is assumed to be working for 300 days in a year of suspension grade PVC. Raw materials Sr. no. Raw Material Quantity 1. Vinyl Chloride Monomer 15,000 m³ 2.

Process Description Preparation and charging of de-mineralized water Part of de-mineralized water from de-mineralized water tank is used in polymerization charging, bearing seal priming, sealing, agitator/ pump seal flushing, reactor rinsing etc.. Part of cold de-mineralized water cooled by cooling water is stored in cold de-mineralized water tank and used for buffer preparation, catalyst preparation and additive preparation. Preparation and feeding of addition agents All the chemical agents of polymerization, such as initiators, dispersants, buffering agents, de-foaming agents, Shortstops (terminators), etc. are prepared and stored in their own reservoirs. When the polymerization reaction occurs, chemical agents are sent to polymerizer by pumps according to specified quantity in the recipe and specified procedure. Polymerization De-mineralized water, dispersants, buffers and initiators are automatically added into the polymerization reactor in a closed state according to PVC production process recipe for the type and amount of raw materials and the feeding program of DCS settings. Polymerization starts when the initiators are automatically added. By automatically adjusting the level of cooling water, the reaction temperature is maintained. Polymerization reaction takes place in accordance with the required temperature curves; the polymerization reaction heat is measured by a microcomputer to calculate the monomer conversion rate. When the conversion rate is met, the terminators are automatically added into polymerization reactor to terminate polymerization, PVC slurries automatically discharged to the Vessel. After PVC is blowdown, the reactor wall shall be rinsed with water of appropriate pressure. Shortstop (Terminator) System This process adopts two shortstop systems for two different purposes, and adopts different shortstops. One is for normal production stop of each batch operations; the other is for emergency, during mechanical or power failure. Vacuum System Vacuum system shall be adopted to draw out air from all equipment of the unit contacting VCM to ensure safety of the unit after maintenance. VCM recovery System Un-reacted VCM from polymerization reactor and stripping outlet trough shall pass through the VCM Recovery unit in order to be used for utilization in the polymerizer. PVC slurry stripping PVC slurry stripping process shall be provided to efficiently remove and recover residual vinyl chloride monomer from PVC resin. The PVC from the blowdown vessel enters the stripping tower. In the stripping tower PVC slurry shall make heat exchange with cooling water in a countercurrent flow. After stripping, the PVC slurry shall be stored in bin and sent to PVC drying section. The VCM after stripping tower passes through the top stripping tower condenser then to gas-liquid separator and finally sent to VCM recovery section. PVC Centrifuge and drying This section is composed of dewatering, finished product drying, screening and gas conveyance. PVC slurry after stripping enters centrifuge. After de-watering in the centrifuge, wet PVC resin is fed in dryer. Warm air shall be used to dry wet PVC resin. Then after, the PVC enters the vortex type cyclone dryer for drying of critical moisture content. The dried PVC powder shall be separated with the air flow by the cyclone separator set. Finished PVC product after screening shall be delivered to PVC intermediate silo and it goes into packaging process by mixing pump. Part of the mother liquor from the PVC centrifuge goes to stripping tower for flushing the tower, and part of it goes to PVC mother liquor treatment and recycle system. PVC Packaging and Product ware house PVC material from finished product silo is measured and bagged into 25kg/bag by quantitative semi-automatic packaging machine. After packaging, the packed PVC will be transported to PVC ware house by forklift. Process Flow Diagram Brief process flow diagram is indicated below.

Combining Agent Combining agents are sometimes added to PMBs to improve their performance properties and shelf life and will comply with the requirements of the AAPA Guide to the safe use of SBS. Polymer The common generic polymer types used for the manufacture of PMBs are Styrene Butadiene Styrene (SBS), Polyethylene’s and Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA). Mixing All polymer maintained at elevated temperatures for long periods will be subject to three competing reactions: increase in molecular weight leading to gelation, caused by cross linking of the unsaturated bonds; a similar, oxygen induced, polymerization; and breakdown reactions. Additionally bitumen are subject to hardening on prolonged high temperature exposure. All of these reactions can be minimized by maintaining close control of operating temperatures and residence times in the mixing equipment. Additional measures that will reduce any tendency to polymerize by nitrogen blanketing of the mixing vessel. Component materials have to be thoroughly mixed to ensure production of a homogeneous PMB. Critical elements that are common to all processes include procedures for proportioning of materials, temperature control, mixing time and conditions, and maintenance and cleanliness of equipment. Storage of the Finished Product 2 nos. of Tanks for the storage of finished product with a storage capacity of 2500 cbm will be designed to minimize deterioration in storage, with strict control of temperature, minimal surface area to reduce oxidation, and provision for mixing or circulation to ensure that the product remains homogenous in storage.
