EMERGENCY EVACUATION INSTRUCTION
Whenever you hear the building alarm or are informed of a
general building emergency:
Leave the building immediately, in an orderly fashion;
Do not use elevators;
Follow quickest evacuation route from where you are;
If the designated assembly point/area is unsafe or blocked due to
the emergency, proceed to the alternate assembly point;
Report to your Work Area Rep at the assembly point to be checked
off as having evacuated safely;

Degradation
Polypropylene is liable to chain degradation from exposure to heat
and UV radiation such as that present in sunlight.
Oxidation usually occurs at the tertiary carbon atom present in
every repeat unit.
A free radical is formed here, and then reacts further with oxygen,
followed by chain scission to yield aldehydes and carboxylic acids.
In external applications, it shows up as a network of fine cracks
and crazes that become deeper and more severe with time of
exposure.

Synthesis
A Ziegler-Natta catalyst is able to restrict linking of monomer
molecules to a specific regular orientation, either isotactic, when all
methyl groups are positioned at the same side with respect to the
backbone of the polymer chain, or syndiotactic, when the
positions of the methyl groups alternate.
1. FEED CHARACTERISTICS
Polypropylene:
Synthesis
Commercially available isotactic polypropylene is made with
two types of Ziegler-Natta catalysts.
The first group of the catalysts encompasses solid (mostly
supported) catalysts and certain types of soluble metallocene
catalysts.
Such isotactic macromolecules coil into a helical shape; these
helices then line up next to one another to form the crystals that
give commercial isotactic polypropylene many of its desirable
properties
1. FEED CHARACTERISTICS
Polypropylene:
Synthesis
Modern supported Ziegler-Natta catalysts developed for the
polymerization of propylene and other 1-alkenes to isotactic
polymers usually use TiCl4 as an active ingredient and MgCl2
as a support.
The catalysts also contain organic modifiers, either aromatic acid
esters and diesters or ethers.
These catalysts are activated with special cocatalysts containing
an organoaluminum compound such as Al(C2H5)3 and the
second type of a modifier.

Bulk Polymerization
Reactors are of the same volume and operated under the same
conditions, as follows:
Temperature – 80oC
Bulk Polymerization
Axial pumps are installed at the bottom section of the reactor.
Reaction blend circulation by these pumps provides a proportional
temperature profile over the whole length of the reactors.
Heat removal in the reactors is provided via demineralized
water circulation in the reactor jackets.
Hydrogen containing gas from the battery limits is fed to the
hydrogen recovery (up to 99.5% vol.) and compression section
with its further supply to propylene feed line upstream the
reactors.

3. START-UP PREPARATION
Outlines
Each equipment at the plant is run for trial prior to the start-up of the
plant.
When the construction of the plant progresses to such a stage that
various pieces of equipment can undergo trial run, it is necessary to
first introduce utilities into the plant so as to facilitate the
preparations for this trial run.
The trial run is the best opportunity for plant operators to become
familiar with pieces of equipment and their operation
procedures.
For this reason, it is desirable that the operators make
preparations in person for plant start-up.

Cleaning
The following are the items to which attention should be paid during
cleaning:
a) Pieces of equipment and pipings are cleaned in such a manner
that scrapings and the like can be collected in drums. For
this reason, inspect the drum interiors after the cleaning to see
whether or not there are any scrapings or the like left there.
b) In cleaning the seal oil line, skip the mechanical seals of
pieces of rotary equipment which use seal oil.
c) In order to prevent control valves from being fouled with
dirt during the cleaning, temporarily remove these valves or
insert a blind plate into their flanges.
3. START-UP PREPARATION
Cleaning
The following are the items to which attention should be paid during
cleaning:
d) Do not use water for cleaning catalyst-measuring instruments,
pieces of equipment and lines from which it is difficult to completely
remove water. If water should be used for cleaning any equipment
or line, completely remove the water from it.
e) Thoroughly clean the Catalyst Preparation Section and any
section where product polymer is handled.
f) In cleaning the heat exchangers, pay attention to the smudges on
both shell and tube sides.

g) It is necessary to surely clean the lines mentioned here.

Plan for plant start-up preparations
The following should be taken into consideration in planning
plant start-up preparations.
d) Since seal oil is required for the trial run of rotary equipment, it is
desirable to operate the seal oil system if possible before such
equipment is put to test.

Completion of nitrogen purge
a) Nitrogen purge is deemed completed when as a result of oxygen
concentration analysis, this concentration in equipment is
ascertained to have become lower than the lower explosive limit,
by making reference to the material relative to the explosive
ranges of multiple-component systems
b) Measure oxygen concentrations and dew points at given locations.
When the values so measured meet the respective specified
values, close the valves at the places where nitrogen purge has
been performed. Thus the nitrogen purge is concluded.

c) The following are the criteria by which to judge the

Dew point in equipment -40°C or lower
Oxygen conc. in equipment 0.2 vol% or lower
Note: Unless otherwise mentioned.
For gas analysis, take sample gas at three or more spots of the place
where nitrogen purge has been conducted.

d) Measures to be taken after completion of nitrogen purge. When
nitrogen purge is completed, blanket pieces of equipment with
nitrogen with their pressures kept at 0.2 to 1 Kg/cm2g so that
oxygen, water, etc. will not enter them.
Note: Nitrogen purge procedures and a rough diagram for nitrogen
purge are shown as an example in the ensuing page; however,
these diagram and procedures should be established by taking into
consideration the actual plant at the time of its completion.
