Abstract

Vinyl chloride (VC) is a colorless stable gas produced through a complex process with many interactions in reaction and separation. This study aims to improve mass and energy efficiency in vinyl chloride production through process simulation with HYSYS V.11. The process was modified using a plugged flow reactor (PFR) with an Al2O3 catalyst and a simplified distillation column. The method involves recycling the liquid product from the distillation column back to the mixing unit as a feed. The results show that energy efficiency improves with the reduction of the reactor's heat flow requirement from 1.009×107 kJ/h, and to 4.689×106 kJ/h, and distillation of the 2.82×106 kJ/h to 1.368×106 kJ/h. Mass efficiency also increased, with vinyl chloride yields rising by 118%, from 2572 kg/h to 3045 kg/h. In conclusion, these process modifications have succeeded in reducing energy consumption and increasing production significantly, making the process more efficient and energy friendly. Further research is suggested to optimize the use of waste heat. Copyright © 2024 by Authors, Published by Universitas Diponegoro and BCREC Publishing Group.

Abstract

Teknologi pinch adalah teknik berdasar ilmu termodinamika yang digunakan untuk mengoptimalkan konsumsi panas pada sistem proses industri menggunakan perancangan dan optimasi jaringan penukar panas (Heat Exchanger Network/HEN). One tool utama pada pendekatan teknologi penukar panas adalah curve komposit yang memaparkan hubungan antara entalpi dan suhu aliran panas (panas/steam) dan aliran dingin (cooling). Penelitian ini membahas penerapan yang dilakukan pada aliran proses sebanyak 11 aliran proses (4 aliran panas dan 7 aliran dingin) dengan variasi ΔTmin sebanyak 10°C, 12°C, 14°C, 20°C dan 22°C. Parameter yang digunakan berupa kepanasan panas (thermal capacity), perubahan entalpi dan entalpi kumulatif pada setiap interval panas. Hasil yang didapatkan menginformasikan bahwa perurungan ΔTmin akan meningkatkan efisiensi pemanfaatan panas berakibat pada biaya instalasi yang mahal. Sebaliknya, ΔTmin yang makin besar akan menurunkan efisiensi tetapi mengurangi kompleksi sistem. Dengan demikian perlu ditentukan ΔTmin yang tepat. Kata kunci: pinch technology, composite curve, ΔTmin, heat integration, energy efficiency, Heat Exchanger Network
