2-(50). In an ethylene glycol production plant, a packed bed reactor is used to produce 30.000 ton ethylene oxide per year by the following reaction.
C2H2+12O2longrightarrowCH2longrightarrowCH2
(A)
(B)
(C)
Ethylene and oxygen are fed in stoichiometric proportions to a packed bed reactor that is operated isothermally at 260C. This reaction is exothermic, and a cooling system is provided from a cooling tower to remove the excess energy of reaction. By considering the interruption of the cooling flow, perform a HAZOP analysis and fill the following Table. Rows of the table can be increased.
