Analisa Pengaruh Flow Steam Terhadap Kualitas Weak Chlorate Pada Evaporator Di Chlorine Dioxide Plant # 5
ABSTRACT
In the chemical plant department, chlorine dioxide is produced by reacting strong chlorate and hydrochloric acid. Strong chlorate is produced in the electrolysis process that occurs in the electrolyzer. Then, the strong chlorate that is formed will be reacted with HCl in the generator and then leave a weak chlorate solution which overflows to the evaporator. Weak chlorate evaporator is used to evaporate the water and acid contained in the weak chlorate solution by flowing steam so that the results of the evaporation will be reused in the electrolysis process. This case study aims to determine the performance of the weak chlorate in terms of the steam requirements needed to produce weak chlorate quality based on salt equivalent values in the range of 320-340 gpl and to determine the effect of using steam on acidity in a weak chlorate evaporator. This research was conducted by collecting primary and secondary data. Using steam when the production rate is 100%, namely 1695 kg/hr, it is known that the steam requirement for the evaporation process is 96.8%. The salt equivalent value obtained is directly proportional to the steam flow, but the acid level in the evaporator is inversely proportional to the steam flow used. This is because the higher the incoming steam flow, the higher the salt equivalent value, but the more acid is evaporated so that the acid level is lower and vice versa the lower the incoming steam flow, the lower the salt equivalent value, but the less acid is evaporated so that higher acid levels.
Key words : acid, evaporator, flow steam, salt equivalent, weak chlorate
