EVALUATION OF SUB-PROCESS POLYPROPYLENE PURIFICATION UNIT DUE TO INCREASING OF FEED CAPACITY AND FEED’S COMPOSITION CHANGE

Feed of purification unit at polypropylene production is the output of Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU). At this time reliability of FCC unit has obstacles so that FCC unit development program (revamping) is carried out. This revamp cause capacity increase and change of propylene purification...
