ARC PRODUCTS PROPOSAL

Several small-scale batches need to be run to figure out few important parameters:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Find out when is the actual end point of stage 1 of PO feed

How much KOH (catalyst loading)
Will KOH work?
What is the pressure range?
Does EO addition need any additional catalyst? If yes how much?
Need to know more about TEPA

The above are a few of the questions need to answered.

Suggestion:
To run at least 4-5 runs on 1gal (min) scale to establish the process. This is minimum quantity, as
we are required to take several samples during both the additions to monitor the reaction.
Timing:
Once we run at least two batches we can confidently say how long each run is going to take. It is
not accurate to give timing without establishing pressure range, which will affect the reaction
time. When can we scheduled to be determined by Dr. Ashok Moza
Materials needed:
Enough TEPA for several I gal batches
We have PO, EO and KOH readily available
Analytical Testing:
Might be time consuming but certainly doable at any point.
