  1. Hierarchy of Decisions

  2. LEVEL 3 : purge reactor separator products feeds Liquid ? Liquid / Vapor ? Vapor ?

  3. LEVEL 4 : 1 ) Liquid LEVEL 3 reactor liquid separation system liquid products feeds Liquid recycle

  4. purge LEVEL 4 : 2 ) Liquid / Vapor Vapor Recovery system vapor gas recycle vapor 35C Phase Split liq. liq. reactor liquid separation system liquid products feeds Liq. recycle LEVEL 3

  5. purge LEVEL 4 : 3 ) Vapor Vapor Recovery system vapor gas recycle 35C Phase Split liquid liquid vapor reactor liquid separation system products feeds Liquid recycle LEVEL 3

  6. LOCATIONS OF VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM Gas Recycle Purge 2 1 3 vapor from phase split 1 ) The purge stream 2 ) The gas-recycle stream 3) The flash vapor stream 4 ) None

  7. RULES FOR PLACING THE VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM 1 ) Place the vapor recovery system on the purge stream if significant amounts of valuable materials are being lost in the purge. 2 ) Place the vapor recovery system on the gas-recycle stream if materials that are deleterious to the reactor operation (catalyst poisoning, etc.) are present in this stream or if recycling of some components degrades the product distribution. 3 ) Place the vapor recovery system on the flash vapor stream if both 1 ) and 2 ) are valid. 4 ) Do not use a vapor recovery system if neither 1 ) nor 2 ) are important.

  8. TYPE OF VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM 1 ) Condensation - low. T and/or high P 2 ) Absorption 3 ) Adsorption 4 ) Membrane separation 5 ) Reaction ADJUST MATERIAL BALANCE ?

  9. DECISION IN SYNTHESIZING LIQUID SEPARATION SYSTEM 1. How should light ends be removed, if they might contaminate the product ? 2. What should be the destination of light end ? 3. Do we recycle components that from azeotropes with reactants, or do we split the azeotropes ? 4. What separations can be made by distillation ? 5. What sequence of columns do we use ? 6. How should we accomplish separations if distillation is not feasible ?

  11. 2 ) DESTINATION OF LIGHT ENDS a ) vent or flare stacks - if light ends have very little value. b ) fuel - if light ends are flammable. c ) vapor recovery system - if light ends are valuable. 3 ) AZEOTROPES WITH REACTANTS 4 ) APPLICABILITY OF DISTILLATION 5 ) SEQUENCING OF SIMPLE COLUMNS 6 ) COMPLEX COLUMNS
