DESCRIPTION
Certain chemical process is represented by the generic equation A+B®C, being C the
interest product of the reaction. However, the reaction conversion is under 100%, so the
yield to C. The reaction is carried out at gas phase at 350ºC and 5 atm in a packed bed of a
metal oxide catalyst. Several byproducts are also present after some serial and parallel
reactions. The complete list of compounds are shown as follows. with their main physic
characteristics:
TARGET
The main target is to obtain a stream with 90% (or more) of C. The tasks for being carried
out by the design team are as follows:
a) To elaborate a blocks diagram with the process stages for obtain the desired stream,
including how the by-products will be handled.
b) To suggest the unit operations needed for carrying the process and distribute them in a
process flowsheet diagram (PFD). If it is possible, provide information about the
operating conditions.
c) Provide a detailed explanation that justifies the selection of the unit operations and their
location in the suggested process design.
The information must be delivered by e-mail, and the work will be made by teams of two
students. Of course, the workshop must be presented in a well written English.
