Used 12,000 tonnes/year glycerine to epichlorohydrin plant commissioned in 2012, shut down in 2013, and using Desmet Ballestra Oleo design and technology.
The glycerine to epichlorohydrin plant consists of two separate production plants as follows:
1 - Plant for production of 99.5% technical glycerine from 80–85% crude glycerine using multi-stage distillation and rectification.
2 - Plant for production of dichloropropanols (DCP). Technical glycerine is subjected to multistage hydrochlorination by wet and dry methods to obtain DCP. DCP is the intermediate product for production of epichlorohydrin.
Note – No equipment for producing epichlorohydrin from DCP is available.
