ICC - Process Overview Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-overview/218-B.jpg
ICC - Process Overview Text: <h6>Product</h6> <p><b>PET</b>. Polyethylene Terephthalate (a.k.a. PET) is a thermoplastic polyester with an enormous market volume in bottle resin. The combination of properties like hardness and rigidity, dimensional stability, chemical resistance and lightweight, makes PET a flexible material widely used in several applications. It is also worth noting that PET is the most common thermoplastic polymer resin of the polyester family, and being a 100% recyclable material so broadly used, is the most recycled plastic worldwide.</p> <h6>Raw Materials</h6> <p><b>Ethylene Glycol</b>. Ethylene glycol, also known as monoethylene glycol or MEG, is the simplest diol, with chemical formula C2H6O2. Like other glycols, ethylene glycol undergoes reactions common to monohydric alcohols forming esters, acetals, ethers, and similar products. Most of monoethylene glycol has been produced from ethylene via ethylene oxide intermediate, generating di- and tri-ethylene glycol as well. Commercially, ethylene glycol is available in three grades: fiber grade, with min. 99.8% of purity; industrial grade with min. 99.5% of purity and antifreeze grade with min. 98% of purity.</p> <b>Chemicals</b>. </p> <b>Terephthalic Acid</b>. Terephthalic Acid is the most important dicarboxylic acid. It is obtained by catalytic, liquid-phase air oxidation of p-xylene. Most of the terephthalic acid produced commercially is purified to then be consumed as precursor to saturated polyesters, primarily PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and, to a lesser extent, PBT (polybutylene terephthalate).</p>
ICC - Process Schematic Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-schematics/218-B.jpg
ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process under analysis comprises three major sections: (1) Melt-phase Polymerization; (2) Solid-state Polymerization; and (3) Product Cooling and Packaging.</p><p>Melt-phase Polymerization. Terephtalic acid (PTA), ethylene glycol (MEG), and additives are mixed and fed to a termosiphon reactor, where esterification and partial polycondensation takes place. Water vapor formed and unreacted MEG are continuously removed and routed to MEG Recovery downstream. The low molecular weight polymer formed is sent to Diol Incorporation Area. Volatile compounds are flashed from the reaction product and routed to MEG Recovery. The product is fed to the top of a reactor, while nitrogen is fed to its bottom. Prepolymerization takes place, and the polymer melt is directed to the Thermoshock System downstream.</p><p>Solid-state Polymerization. In the Thermoshock System, melt-phase polymer is cooled, forming microcrystallites particles, that are stored in an intermediate silo, and directed to Precrystallization, where they are submitted to a hot flow of nitrogen. The precrystallized particles are fed to the crystallizer, in which they achieve the minimum crystallinity to flow in the solid-state polycondensation (SSP) reactor, where high molecular weight polymer is formed.</p><p>Product Cooling and Packaging. The nitrogen gas circulating the Solid-state Polymerization section is purified and cooled in a Nitrogen Purification area and recycled to that section. A portion of this treated gas stream is sent to Product Cooling, where it reduces the temperature and removes dust from the PET product coming from the SSP Reactor. The PET product is further cooled using cooling water, and directed to Product Silos and Packaging areas, where the PET is packed in bags and then sent to storage.</p>

Polyethylene Terephthalate from MEG and PTA (Polycondensation)

This report presents the economics of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) production from ethylene glycol and purified terephthalic acid (PTA) in the United States, via a typical melt-phase process followed by a solid-state polymerization. Initially, oligomers are produced by the esterification of PTA with ethylene glycol. The oligomer then undergoes a melt-polymerization and a solid-state polymerization, yielding PET.
