Production of Ethane from Ethanol
Ethanol is feed to continuous reactor with presence of Acid Sulphuric
catalyzer to produce ethylene. Distillation process then will be applied to
separate ethylene-H2O mixture. Ethylene as a top product is then
condensate with condenser to perform liquid ethylene. Hydrogenation of
ethylene applies in another reactor with presence of Nickel catalyzer to
produce ethane as a final product. Develop BFD for these processes.

Exercise 1:
Ammonia-air mixture is feed to the bottom stream of an absorber
with flow rate of 10L/min. Water then feed to the upper stream of
the same absorber with desired flow rate of 5L/min. There are two
outputs from the absorber where upper stream is insoluble NH 3 and
bottom stream is NH3-Water mixture. This NH3-water mixture then
feed up to a batch distillation column. The column produces
ammonia gas as a top product which this product then will be
condensate with a condenser to produce liquid ammonia. Develop
Block Flow Diagram (BFD) for this process.

Exercise 2:
Ethanol-water mixture is feed to a batch distillation column.
This distillation process will produce ethanol vapour at the top
product which then condensate to produce liquid ethanol which
then collected into a distillate product tank. This liquid ethanol
and an acetic acid liquid from a acid feed tank are then feed to
a reactor. An exothermic chemical reaction will producing ethyl
acetate (a type of ester). Draw BFD for this chemical process.

SCOPE:
Students will be able to know:
PFD will contains the following information:- All major pieces of equipment (descriptive name,
unique equipment no.), pumps and valves.
- All the utility streams supplied to major equipments
such as steam lines, compressed air lines, electricity,
etc.
