Ethylbenzene plant described in Appendix B, Project B. 2

Data from Project B.2

Transcribed Image Text:

The majority of ethylbenzene (EB) processes produce EB for internal consumption within a coupled process that produces styrene monomer. The facility described here produces 80,000 tonne/y of 99.8 mo1% ethylbenzene that is totally consumed by an on-site styrene facility. As with most EB/styrene facilities, there is significant heat integration between the two plants. In order to decouple the operation of the two plants, the energy integration is achieved by the generation and consumption of
