Ethylene Oxygen 10,000 AA 200 H 2 O Ethylene Oxygen Reactor (7,000 kg/hr Acetic Acid Reacted) 5,100 AA Absorber I 1,200 AA + Ethylene, O 2 and CO 2 Gas Purification Absorber II CO 2 H 2 O 200 Acid Tower (Evaporator) 10,000 AA 200 H 2 O 10,000 VAM 6,900 AA 2,300 H 2 O VAM PROCESS Current Purchase of AA = 15,100 kg/hr 6,800 AA 2,300 H 2 O (75% AA) Primary Tower 10,000 VAM 100 AA 200 H 2 O To Neutralization and Biotreatment 1,200 AA 200 H 2 O (86% AA) 16
17 OVERALL MASS TARGETING Fresh Raw Materials Fresh Material Utilities Processing Facility Main Product Byproducts Waste/Losses How to benchmark performance for mass objectives of the whole process ahead of detailed design? Minimization of waste discharge/losses Minimization of purchase of fresh resources (raw materials, material utilities) Maximization of desired products/byproducts Need a holistic and generally applicable procedure 17
18 Example 1: Reduction of Terminal Losses or Discharge of Waste Terminal Load (out) = Fresh Load (in) + Net Generation Total Fresh Load (In) F BMI WHOLE PLANT Net Generation Net_G BMI Total Terminal Load (Out) T BMI Overall Mass Balance Before Mass Integration (BMI) T BMI = F BMI + Net_G BMI For fixed generation: Minimum terminal (out) corresponds to minimum fresh (in) To minimize fresh: 1. Adjust design and operating variables 2. Maximize recycle to replace fresh usage 18
19 Example 1: Reduction of Terminal Losses or Discharge of Waste 1. Adjust Design and Operating Variables to Reduce Fresh What are the design and operating variables in the process that influence fresh consumption? Which ones are allowed to be changed (manipulated variables)? How is fresh usage related to these design and operating variables? Fresh Usage = f (manipulated design variables, manipulated operating variables) F AFR = minimize f (manipulated design variables, manipulated operating variables) Total Fresh Load (In) F AFR WHOLE PLANT Net Generation Net_G BMI Total Terminal Load (Out) T AFR Overall Mass Balance after Fresh Reduction T AFR = F AFR + Net_G BMI 19

21 Example 1: Reduction of Terminal Losses or Discharge of Waste Recycle Rules to Reduce Terminal Load (continued): Recovery devices can recover (almost) all terminal load and render acceptable quality to replace fresh feed. During targeting, cost and details of recovery are not relevant (yet) Maximize recycle from outlet path to fresh inlets (can recycle the smaller of the two loads: total recovered terminal vs. total needed fresh). R max = argmin {F AFR, T AFR } F AMI = F AFR - R MAX WHOLE PLANT Net Generation Net_G BMI Recovery Network T AMI = T AFR- R MAX R MAX Target After Mass Integration (AMI) 21

Adjust design and operating variables 2. Maximize recycle to replace fresh usage 22 When generation and fresh cannot be decoupled, see Noureldin, M. B. and M. M. El-Halwagi, 1999, Interval- Based Targeting for Pollution Prevention via Mass Integration, Comp. Chem. Eng., 23,
23 Minimizing Generation of Waste Example 2: Reduction of Terminal Losses or Discharge of Waste with Variable Generation Minimize generation (or maximize depletion) of targeted species (e.g., Describe generation quantitatively then identify values of design and operating conditions of reactors to minimize generation) Terminal Load (out) = Fresh Load (in) + Generation (- Depletion) Total Fresh Load (In) F BMI WHOLE PLANT Net Generation Net_G MIN Total Terminal Load (Out) T AGMIN Overall Mass Balance after Minimization of Generation T AGMIN = F BMI + Net_G MIN 23
24 Example 2: Reduction of Terminal Losses or Discharge of Waste with Variable Generation Adjust Design and Operating Variables to Reduce Fresh Terminal Load (out) = Fresh Load (in) + Generation (- Depletion) Total Fresh Load (In) F AFR WHOLE PLANT Net Generation Net_G MIN Total Terminal Load (Out) TAGMIN, AFR Overall Mass Balance after Fresh Reduction and Minimization of Generation T AGMIN, AFR = F AFR + Net_G MIN 24

35 PRACTICE EXERCISE Consider the VAM process described earlier. A new reaction pathway has been developed and will to be used for the production of VAM. This new reaction does not involve acetic acid. The rest of the process remains virtually unchanged and the AA losses with the product are 100 kh/hr. What are the targets for minimum fresh usage and discharge/losses of AA? 35
36 DIRECT RECYCLE STRATEGIES Objective: to develop a graphical procedure that determines the target and implementation for minimum usage of the fresh resource, maximum material reuse, and minimum discharge to waste as a result of direct recycle. Direct Recycle: rerouting of streams without the addition of new units. It involves segregation, mixing, and allocation. 36
37 DIRECT RECYCLE REPRESENTATION Sources Segregated Sources Sinks Constraints on feed flowrate and composition? Source: A stream which contains the targeted species 37 Sink: An existing process unit/equipment that can accept a source
38 PROBLEM STATEMENT Consider a process with a number of process sources (e.g., process streams, wastes) that can be considered for possible recycle and replacement of the fresh material and/or reduction of waste discharge. Each source, i, has a given flow rate, W i, and a given composition of a targeted species, y i. Available for service is a fresh (external) resource that can be purchased to supplement the use of process sources in sinks. The sinks are process units such as reactors, separators, etc. Each sink, j, requires a feed whose flow rate, G j, and an inlet composition of a targeted species, z j, must satisfy certain bounds on their values. 38
39 DESIGN CHALLENGES Should a stream (source) be segregated and split? To how many fractions? What should be the flowrate of each split? Should streams or splits of streams be mixed? To what extent? What should be the optimum feed entering each sink? What should be its composition? What is the minimum amount of fresh resource to be used? What is the minimum discharge of unused process sources? 39

41 How to Identify Bounds on Sinks? 1. From physical limitations (e.g., flooding flowrate, weeping flowrate, channeling flowrate, saturation composition) 2. From manufacturer's design data 3. From technical constraints (e.g., to avoid scaling, corrosion, explosion, buildup, etc.) 4. From historical data Flowrate Entering the Sink Composition Entering the Sink Upper bound Lower bound Upper bound Lower bound Time 41

43 How to identify bounds on sinks? (continued) 6. Tolerate a certain deviation from nominal case (e.g., allow +/- certain %ages from nominal flowrate and compositions) 43

48 Flowrate SINK COMPOSITION RULE Source a Sink j Fresh Minimum fresh arm z max j y a What should be feed composition to sink to minimize fresh usage? Sink Composition Rule: When a fresh resource is mixed with process source(s), the composition of the mixture entering the sink should be set to a value that minimizes the fresh arm. For instance, when the pure fresh, the 48 composition of the mixture should be set to the maximum admissible value.

Source Prioritization Rule: To minimize the usage of the fresh resource, recycle of the process sources should be prioritized in order of their fresh arms starting with the source having the shortest fresh arm. y b 49

Mass integration To: Determine performance targets ahead of detailed design (e.g., minimum raw material consumption, maximum process yield, minimum waste discharge, maximum recovery, etc.) Identify optimum: 1. Allocation (routing) of streams and species 2. Changes in generation/depletion of species 3. New units to be added to the process 4. New materials/streams to be added to the process Identify optimum revisions in flowsheet to reach target Big picture first, details later 81
82 Design Tasks: Can we determine: Target for minimum wastewater discharge? Recycle opportunities? Separation needed? Unit replacement? We will learn how to do all of that systematically using mass integration techniques. 82

109 The primary cost of direct recycling is pumping and piping.

114 ALTERNATIVES TO STEAM JET EJECTOR - Replacement of the steam-jet ejector with a vacuum pump. The operating cost of the ejector and the vacuum pump are comparable. Annualized fixed cost of the pump is $15,000/year. - Operating the column under atmospheric pressure No steam.

117 MERITS OF IDENTIFIED SOLUTION - Acrylonitrile production has increased from 3.9 kg/s to 4.6 kg/s which corresponds to an 18% yield enhancement for the plant. For a selling value of $0.6/kg of AN, the additional production of 0.7 kg AN/s can provide an annual revenue of $13.3 million/yr! - Fresh-water usage and influent to biotreatment facility are decreased by 7.2 kg/s. The value of fresh water and the avoidance of treatment cost are additional benefits. - 40% Debottlenecking: Influent to biotreatment is reduced to 40% of current level. Therefore, the plant production can be expanded 2.5 times the current capacity before the biotreatment facility is debottlenecked again. Superior solution to the installation of an additional biotreatment facility! 117
118 OBSERVATIONS Target for debottlenecking the biotreatment facility was determined ahead of design. Then, systematic tools were used to generate optimal solutions that realize the target. Next, an analysis study is needed to refine the results big picture first, details later. Unique and fundamentally different approach than using the designer s subjective decisions to alter the process and check the consequences using detailed analysis. It is also different from using simple end-of-pipe treatment solutions. Instead, the various species are optimally allocated throughout the process. Objectives such as yield enhancement, pollution prevention and cost savings can be simultaneously addressed. AND YOU CAN (AND SHOULD) TRY IT! 118
119 CONCLUSIONS - A process is an integrated system and must be treated as such -Paradigm shift from end-of-pipe treatment to integrated process solutions - Targeting for the whole system ahead of detailed design -Systematic mass integration tools for recycle, reuse, separation, and modification - Mass integration: Systematic, insightful, and cost effective 119
