  4. RIL VMD BD UNIT-OVERVIEW

  5. ADVANTAGES OF BASF NMP PROCESS • BASF Process commercialized since 1968 • Total BASF capacity more than 2000 KMT • High Yields • Higher Butadiene Purity • Ability to process wide variety of feed

  6. ADVANTAGES OF BASF NMP PROCESScontd. • Non corrosive, Non Toxic solvent • Safe plant operation–No acetylene accumulation • Low Energy Consumption • High turndown ratio

  7. FLOW DIAGRAM

  8. BASF NMP PROCESS PERFORMS SEPARATION • Extractive Distillation Butenes, Butanes & C4 Acetylenes have B.P. close to 1,3 Butadiene. Separation is not possible by conventional distillation. However solubility of these components in NMP is very different from 1,3 Butadiene. Therefore separation by extraction distillation. • Conventional Distillation 1,2 Butadiene, Propyne & some C5 HC have high boiling point compared to 1,3 BD. Therefore separation by conventional distillation.

  9. SEPARATION STEPS • Extractive distillation-1 (Separation of C4 Raffinate) • Extractive distillation-2 (Purification of Crude butadiene for separation of Ethyl Acetylene/ Vinyl Acetylene) • Degassing (Solvent Recovery & Removal of VA Stream) • Product Purification (For removal of traces of lighter & Heavier impurities)

  10. PRODUCT QUALITY

  11. RELIABILITY ISSUES • Popcorn formation & fouling in final column overhead condensers • Fouling in degasser column • Final Column PSV line rupture • Prime reason is oxygen initiated polymerization • Higher losses of solvent in acetylene washer wash water stream

  12. MEASURES IMPLEMENTED • Nitriting of system with hot nitrite circulation and monitoring of NO3 conversions. • Oxygen level measurement from the vents of the receiver twice a week • Continuous venting from the condenser dome cover end. • Installation of one spare condenser and changing over at regular frequency of 80-90 days in Final Column • Installation of in line oxygen measurement from the vents (commissioned by Nov 07) • TBC dosing across the shell (at 5 locations) and in the vapor line to the condenser for oxygen scavenging.

  15. Design Considerations • Designed to process the Mix C4 from In house Cracker Plant & Imported Mix-C4 • Case 1 : High severity operation - 1,3BD (54%) • Case 2 : Low severity operation - 1,3BD (44%) • BD recovery : Case1- 98% / Case2- 98.9% • Solvent used : Acetonitrile • Selectivity :VA>EA>1,2BD>MA>C5+> 1,3BD>cis-Butene>n- Butene> t- Butene>C3

  16. Critical to Safety Operation • Build up of MA > 50 wt% explosive decomposition, alarm, TALO trip to purge the stream to flare • Build up EA + VA > 45 wt% explosive decomposition, alarm, low diluents flow trip • Build up of 1,2 BD > 50 wt% decomposition takes place.Temp cascade control with bottoms with drawl and hard wired alarm provided.
