MMA Plant
Agent Technology and PlantsÂ
Technology Introduction:
There are three prevailing processes for MMA, or methyl methacrylate production, C-2 Process starting from ethylene, methanol and formaldehyde, C-3 Process (also called as ACH Process) which uses the byproduct of HCN from acrylonitrile production as the feedstock, and C-4 process which uses isobutene or tertiary butanol as the feedstock. SL TEC provides MMA plant based C-4 Process, consisting of three working units, i.e. oxidation unit, distillation unit and esterification unit.
Technical Features:
The MMA plant offered by SL TEC has advantages such as easy availability of feedstock, more environment friendliness, lower investment, lower production cost and etc.
Trioxane Plant Proprietary Technology and Plants Technology Introduction: Trioxane is the most important monomer for polyacetal(POM) synthesis, POM production technology with trioxane as the copolymerization monomer takes 80% of the total POM capacity in the world. It is usually synthesized by enriching 37% formalin to about 65% and then by oxidation in presence of acid catalyst such as sulfuric acid. The production consists of formalin enrichment, trioxane synthesis, trioxane enrichment, extraction, light components stripping and heavy components stripping. Technical Features: In trioxane production, one of the biggest problem is that a large amount of steam will be consumed by formalin enrichment and the treatment of diluted formalin generated from formalin enrichment. To solve this problem, SL TECH proposes to oxidize methylal into high concentration formalin(75%) directly instead of synthesis plus enrichment., and meanwhile the formalin generated from trioxane enrichment can be charged back to the methylal synthesis unit. In this way, a closed circuit system is formed. Also for those manufacturers with formalin as the only feedstock, SL TEC has the propriatary license to provide a special falling film vaporizer to enrich formalin to 78%-80%, and enrich the diluted formalin by-product by customized distillation.
As the second monomer for polyacetal(POM) production,1,3-dioxolane has attracted great attention in recent years due to the expansion of its application, such as the solvent for grease, dyes, cellulose derivatives, polymers and etc, the stabilizer for trichloroethane, components of photosensitiser. There are usually two processes for 1,3-dioxolane production, one uses paraformaldehyde and MEG as the feedstock, while the other starts from concentrated formalin and MEG. SL Tech has been specialized in dioxolane production since 2008 based on concentrated formalin and MEG. In detail, in presence of concentrated sulfuric acid catalyst, enriched formalin and MEG reacts with each other @ 90-100oC atmospheric pressure, the resulting mixture is charged to Enrichment Unit, Extraction Unit, Heavy Components Distillation Unit and Light Components Distillation Unit in subsequence to get the finished 1,3-dioxolane product Technical Features: Compared to the other route beginning from paraformaldehyde and MEG, the process SL TEC provides has advangages as below: 1. It has no formalin polymerization, paraformaldehyde drying and aging units, thereby, the investment and the production cost is much lower. 2. It uses concentrated sulfuric acid as the catalyst, which has a higher conversion yield.

Methyl Acetate Plant Proprietary Technologyand Plants Technology Introduction: The methyl acetate production process SL TEC propose is based on the condensation of acetic acid and methanol over a solid acid catalyst. This kind of catalyst is the best solution when high yields, low acetic acid and methanol consumption, consistent product and low equipment corrosion are required on reliable basis. Under normal operation, this catalyst has an average service life of three years or longer. The reaction conditions are moderate, however, as methyl acetate, methanol and water will form binary and tertiary azeotropic mixtures, it is very difficult to prepare high purity product by conventional methods. In the traditional process, one reactor and nine distillation columns are required to produce high purity methyl acetate. And they have main disadvantages incl. 1. The synthesis of methyl acetate is reversible, and due to the limitation of chemical equilibrium, the conversion yield is low. 2. Methyl acetate-water binary azeotrope, methyl acetate-methanol binary azeotrope, and methyl acetate-methanol-water ternary azeotrope have boiling points quite close to that of azeotrope, thereby, it is difficult to separate and the product purification is very complicated.
