    Eh2207i - Group 5 - Ethylene Oxide Production

    Uploaded by

    Azizrin Azali
    The document is a report from Group 5 of the School of Chemical Engineering at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) analyzing parameters and pollution sources related to water and air quality. It discusses physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of water and air parameters. It then identifies sources of water pollution from a chemical plant and sources of air pollution from nitrogen, oxygen, and ethylene emissions during fuel combustion. Finally, it proposes equipment for treating both types of pollution, including catalytic oxidation, regenerative thermal oxidation, and scrubbers.

    2. Possible sources for the pollution

    Sources for water pollution Sources for air pollution

    1. The discharge of nitrogen, oxygen,


    and ethylene-containing fuel gas
    from a chemical plant is harmful to
    the environment.
    2. Excess nitrogen is released during
    the combustion of fuel gas. The
    presence of excess nitrogen in the
    atmosphere contribute to pollution
    and oxygen-deprived aquatic zones.
    3. Equipment to treat both pollutants

    Water Pollution Air Pollution


    1. Catalytic Oxidization

    Catalytic oxidation of volatile organic


    compounds (VOCs), such as
    ethylene oxide, works by converting
    hazardous air pollutants to CO2,
    water vapor (H2O), and useable heat
    over a precision designed catalyst.
    These innocuous leftovers flow
    through a heat exchanger, which
    transfers the energy from the gas
    stream to the incoming exhaust. In
    addition, Lower EO concentrations
    can be controlled via catalytic
    oxidation, and facilities can connect
    many EO emission sources to a
    single control unit. Low-concentration
    emission sources can provide part or
    all of the required diluent air in some
    cases. [ CITATION Jan18 \l 1033 ]

    2. Regenerative Thermal Oxidation


    (RTO)

    The use of a Regenerative Thermal


    Oxidizer (RTO) can be considered for
    higher air flows or concentrations.
    Thermal oxidation works similarly to
    catalytic oxidation, with the exception
    that instead of employing an
    oxidation catalyst, a natural gas-fired
    burner system is utilised to raise the
    temperature of the emissions to the
    set point required to destroy the
    pollutants. [ CITATION Jan18 \l
    1033 ]

    3. Scrubbers

    Scrubbers are aqueous systems that


    absorb EtO vent gas and are
    designed for high EtO removal
    efficiency. Since EtO is very water
    soluble, it is often delivered to a
    scrubber column packed with random
    packing, where the EtO is absorbed
    by an aqueous stream flowing in the
    opposite direction of the vent gas to
    complete the hydrolysis of the EtO.
