CONCLUSION
Redlich/Kester:
Ethylene was derived from natural gas. Approximately 1.63 million tonnes
production of ethylene in Malaysia and the main plant are located at Kerteh,
Terengganu & Tg. Langsat, Johor.
Crygenic distillation column was used as it has high efficiency at low
temperature. The no. of stages was calculated using McCabe-Thiele
method. Based on the method, there will be 7 stages.
In separation, there will be acid liquid mixture (H2S and CO2 ) to be
separated. Raoults law eq., & Redlich/Kester eq. was used for ideal gas,
real gas & real solution.
Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger was selected and designed using Kerns
method.
