Report Abstract
In this report, it is approached the economics of Isopropyl Alcohol production from acetone in a typical acetone hydrogenation process, also assuming an industrial plant located in the United States. The reaction is carried out in liquid phase, in two fixed bed reactors in series, catalyzed by a Raney nickel catalyst.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Isopropanol production and related Isopropanol production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Isopropanol production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Isopropanol plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Isopropanol plant operating costs (Opex).
The Isopropanol production process description includes a block flow diagram (BFD), an overview of the industrial site installations, detailing both the process unit and the necessary infrastructure, process consumption figures and comprehensive process flow diagrams (PFD). The Isopropanol plant capital cost analysis breaks down the Capex by plant cost (i.e., ISBL, OSBL and Contingency); owner's cost; working capital; and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up. The Isopropanol plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.
Process Schematic
The process under analysis comprises two main sections: (1) reaction; and (2) purification.
Reaction. Hydrogen is compressed and fed, along with liquid acetone, to the upper part of a circulation reactor. The circulating mixture passes through a gas-liquid separation vessel. Part of the liquid is cooled - removing the heat generated by the exothermic reaction - and recycled to the reactor. The remainder is cooled and routed to a second reactor, followed by a second vapor-liquid separation stage. The liquid portion obtained after the second vapor-liquid separation is sent to purification. The vapor portion is mixed with the vapors from the first gas-liquid separation and also sent to purification.
Purification. In the purification, the vapors from the reaction are fed to a condenser, where Isopropanol and acetone are recovered. Most part of the uncondensed vapors are recycled to the hydrogen compressors. The remaining part of the hydrogen-rich gaseous stream, the condensate from the condenser and the liquid product from the reaction are fed to a deaeration tank to remove any gases dissolved in the crude liquid product. The crude product is then subjected to dehydration by means of molecular sieves and finally fed into a purification column, from which purified Isopropanol product is withdrawn as a side stream. Low-boiling components are separated as the column's overheads product, while high-boiling impurities are obtained as the bottoms product.
