Report Abstract
This report analyses the economics of a typical Sodium Hypochlorite production process from sodium hydroxide and chlorine in the United States. In this process, chlorine is reacted with dilute sodium hydroxide solution, forming hypochlorite.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Sodium Hypochlorite production and related Sodium Hypochlorite production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Sodium Hypochlorite production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Sodium Hypochlorite plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Sodium Hypochlorite plant operating costs (Opex).
The Sodium Hypochlorite 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 Sodium Hypochlorite 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 Sodium Hypochlorite 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 major sections: (1) Reaction and product discharge; and (2) Bleach filtration.
Reaction and product discharge. The chlorine absorption system can be divided into two parts: in the first, a packed column is operated with a safe excess of caustic to prevent reduction in pH; the second part, in turn, receives the liquor from the first column to be postchlorinated, until the desired bleach concentration is reached. Prior to reaction, caustic soda is diluted with water in the first buffer tank, along with first column bottom stream. Chlorine is diluted with air and fed into the bottom of both columns. Flow to the second part of the system is established when the finished product is being sent to the filtration steps.
Bleach filtration. Bleach filtration is necessary to meet product quality requirements and is often the last step before storage. Usually, the bleach filter system consists of pressure-leaf filters. After filtration, the product is sent to storage. Backwash water containing spent filter aid can be taken to a dry-cake pressure filter for further processing. Sodium hypochlorite solutions are very sensitive and this type of operation prevents its decomposition. Besides pH, other factors affecting degradation are bleach initial concentration, exposure to UV light, presence of certain metals and elevated temperatures. The graph below shows temperature dependency in bleach degradation, starting from a 12.5 trade % solution.
