Prarancangan Pabrik Akrolein Dari Gliserol Dengan Desain Alat Utama Reaktor Fixed Bed Multitube (R-101)
ABSTRACT
Acrolein (C3H4O) is the simplest unsaturated aldehyde compound but is highly toxic and high reactivity due to the conjugation of a carbonyl group with a vinyl group. The uses of acrolein is protecting liquid fuels from microorganisms, making essential amino acid methionine and as a good separator and dispersing agent which is widely used in the ceramic, paper and electroplating industries. The acrolein plant is design to produce 36.000 tons/years. One of the main equipment in this plant is the dehydration reactor to react glycerol to produce acrolein. The type of reactor is fixed bed multitube reactor using WO3/ZrO2 as a catalyst at 410℃ and 1 bar in isothermal conditions. The glycerol flow rate is 21.088,193 kg/h and the cooling water flow rate is 113.891,47 kg/h. The height of reactor is 8,23 m and the diameter is 2,39 m with torispherical flanged and dished head and lug support.
Keywords: acrolein, fixed bed multitube reactor, glycerol, zirconium.
