1 In Area 100, the raw materials are
bought in gas phase from the
suppliers?
2 In Area 200, temperature should
not be maintained at 220 °C in
Quenching Column.
3 In Area 300, justify the purpose of
using compressor, cooler followed
by partial condenser.
4. In Area 300, temperature should
not be maintained at 30 °C in
Absorber.
5. In Area 300, insignificant pressure
drops occur at the bottom outlet of
the Absorber.
6. In Area 400, will water appear as
gas/liquid state at 109 °C after the
heater?
7. In Area 500, is it necessary to have
a cooler to cool down 8 ºC of the
recovery product?
8. In Area 600, why there is an
increase temperature in the
distillation column?

subjected to the purification
column and justify the type of the
column used.

The raw materials are pressurized and remain in
gaseous state in BFD001. The feeds do not need to
be in liquid state because our plant is in Kerteh
Biopolymer Park (KBP), Terengganu. It is possible
to install piping between the propene and ammonia
plants and the acrylonitrile production plant. The
raw material can directly transport and use to
produce acrylonitrile.
The temperature condition of Quenching Column is
changed to 31.62 °C in BFD002.
The partial condenser unit is removed before the
Absorber in BFD003.
The temperature of the inlet is increased to 43.28 °C
before entered Absorber in BFD003.
20 kPa of pressure drops is amended at the bottom
outlet of the Absorber in BFD003.
All the physical states of the chemical components
involved before the flash distillation column are
revised and a partial vaporizer is added to allow all
chemicals are in gas/liquid phases before entered
flash distillation column in BFD003.
Condenser, pump and cooler unit are removed and
only a cooler is involved to cool down the recovery
product from 107.6 °C to 73 °C before entered the
Extractive Distillation Column in BFD004.
The temperature condition of the inlet stream and
the distillation column is changed to 9.934 °C in
BFD005.
The column used to purify acrylonitrile is
distillation column and all the physical states of the
chemical components involved before the
distillation column are revised in BFD006.
