Abstract:
A method for uniformly distributing a process liquid within a process vessel includes providing a process liquid to a fouling-resistant liquid distributor installed within a process vessel having a cross-sectional area; causing rotational movement of the fouling-resistant liquid distributor; uniformly distributing the process liquid over the cross-sectional area within the process vessel; and simultaneously self-rinsing the fouling-resistant liquid distributor with a portion of the process liquid during uniform distribution. A system is also disclosed which includes a supply of process fluid, a stationary conduit and a liquid distribution head attached to the conduit. The liquid distribution head is motive, powered by a fluid, and includes at least one process liquid delivery port. The at least one process liquid delivery port is configured to provide a +10° or greater angle of liquid coverage when the liquid distribution head is moving.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a process for recovering/purifying (meth)acrylic acid which does not use azeotropic solvent and is based on the use of two columns for purifying a reaction mixture comprising (meth)acrylic acid. The process according to the invention includes a dry vacuum pump condensation system, which makes it possible to reduce the amount of final aqueous discharges.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the production of (meth)acrylic acid, and to implementation of a step of condensing water contained in a recycled gas effluent and/or in the air feed in a (meth)acrylic acid production process, which further includes a process for purifying a reaction mixture comprising (meth)acrylic acid without using azeotropic solvent and based on the use of two distillation columns.
