ICC - Process Overview Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-overview/212-A.jpg
ICC - Process Overview Text: <h6>Product</h6> <p><b>EVA</b>. Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (a.k.a. EVA) is the copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate. EVA properties vary depending on the comonomers contents. Vinyl acetate increases gas permeability, impact strength, crystallinity, coefficient of friction and optical qualities. Meanwhile, higher ethylene content increases sealing temperature, stiffness and surface hardness. As a thermoplastic, EVA is capable of melting and flowing (in a reversible physical transformation) when subjected to increases in temperature and pressure, assuming a specified form when those conditions cease. Exhibiting properties like good toughness, flexibility, clarity and gloss, this thermoplastic material is one of the most important poly(vinyl esters).</p> <h6>Raw Materials</h6> <p><b>Ethylene</b>. Ethylene is known as a key building block for the petrochemical industry, being one of the largest-volume petrochemical produced worldwide. It is widely used as chemical intermediate in the production of several end products, including plastics, resins and fibers. Ethylene is largely produced by thermal cracking of petroleum-based feedstocks, in the presence of steam. It is stored in a liquid state under high pressure or at low temperatures. However, ethylene is, most of times, directly supplied to its consumers.</p> <b>Chemicals</b>. </p> <b>Vinyl Acetate</b>. Vinyl Acetate (also known as Vinyl Acetate Monomer and VAM) is an important vinyl ester, primarily used in the production of polymers and copolymers, for coatings, paints and sealants, binders, textile and paper processing, among others. On an industrial scale, the dominant production route of Vinyl Acetate is based on the reaction of ethylene with acetic acid and oxygen in the gas phase on heterogeneous catalysts containing palladium.</p>
ICC - Process Schematic Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-schematics/212-A.jpg
ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process under analysis comprises three major sections: (1) Polymerization; (2) Separation; and (3) Extrusion and Packaging.</p><p>Polymerization. Fresh and recovered ethylene are fed to a primary compressor to be pressurized to 300 bar. The outlet stream is mixed with dried fresh and recycled vinyl acetate monomer (VAM), and an unreacted monomers stream recovered downstream. This mixture is pressurized to 3000 bar in a secondary compressor, and then fed to a tubular reactor at different injection points, so the polymerization takes place. The reactor outlet is expanded to 300 bar and sent to a separation section. </p><p>Separation. Firstly, a High-Pressure Separation divides the molten copolymer from unreacted monomers, which are recycled to the 2nd compressor and to a VAM recycle condenser. Waxes formed during the polymerization are condensed and sent to disposal. The bottom stream from the HP Separation is passed through a Low-Pressure Separation, operating at 1.5 bar, to remove remaining unreacted monomers, which are sent to Wax Removal. The copolymer melt is sent to extrusion. A stream from the VAM recycle condenser is fed to a distillation column, were VAM is recovered and recycled to the second compressor, and heavies are disposed as waste. </p><p>Extrusion and Packaging. The copolymer melt from the LP Separation is further fed into an extruder, which is used to incorporate the required additives, as well as to pelletize the polymer. The product is then sent to product blending and storage.</p><p></p>
