You are open to choose the feed stock appropriate for the production of formaldehyde. Your choice of feed stock and Input-output flow structure should be justified by comparing at least three possible alternative process routes. The design capacity should be chosen based on market survey. Detailed design procedure must include justification on choice of reactor, flow diagram on final selected process, mass and energy balances, sizing of the equipment, economic analysis, optimization study and health, safety & environmental considerations. The format of the report is: 1. Title 2. Background 3. Detail process design of the reactor 4. Conclusion 5. References 6. Appendices including process flow diagram and process design of the Separation unit etc. Please refer to the attachment, ‘Rubric_ENG443_designProject.docx’, for marking rubric for detailed marking criteria.

Title: Detailed Design of a Reactor for Formaldehyde Production Formaldehyde is a naturally occurring chemical in living cells. But its industrial production is very important as it has wide demand on manufacturing various types of resins such as urea, melamine and phenolic resins. Formaldehyde is also predominantly used for manufacturing chemical intermediates such as neopentyl glycol, 1, 4-butanediol, penta-erythritol and hexamethylenetetramine. The commercial grade of Formalin is usually 37 % to 50 wt. % formaldehyde solution in water. In this design project students are required to develop a detailed conceptual design of a reactor that is suitable for the production of industrial grade Formaldehyde. You are open to choose the feed stock appropriate for the production of formaldehyde. Your choice of feed stock and Input-output flow structure should be justified by comparing at least three possible alternative process routes. The design capacity should be chosen based on market survey. Detailed design procedure must include justification on choice of reactor,…
