(a) Water ...
Gals. (Table A)
(b) Seed ...
Lbs. (Table A)
(c) Initial Emulsifier ... Lbs. -- oz. (Table D)
2 Catalyst Solution
a. Dissolve 2 lbs. 8 oz. of catalyst (Ammonium Persulfate) in 170 gallons (39 inches) of filtered cold water in the catalyst premix tank (Break lumps by hand while adding catalyst to the tank).
b. Agitate until completely dissolved (approximately 15 minutes).
3. Scheduled Emulsifier Solution
The scheduled emulsifier solution will normally be prepared as soon as possible after the completion of the emulsifier charge to the preceding batch. The preparation of the solu tion will be deferred if there is any anticipated mainten ance or operational problem that will delay kettle.charging. The emulsifier solution will precipitate a jelly-like material that will plug the filters and pump if the solution becomes too cold (about 21C) due to being prepared,too far in advance.
a. Open the damper in the ventilating duct abi -ve the premix tank and start the emulsifier tank ventilating fan. This fan is to be left running at all times during a 440 poly
merization run.
b. Open the valve in the ammonia charge line above the appropriate premix tank and start the ammonia charge pump.

4. Initial Emulsifier Solution
Add the specified amount of Duponol WAQM to 1 gallon of 50C water in the initial emulsifier premix pail.
5. Salt Solution
Dissolve the 13 lbs, 10 ounces of salt (Sodium Metabisulfite) in SO gallons of cold, filtered water in the salt premix tank. Agitate until dissolved, about 3.5 minutes. Add 750 ml ammonia solution to the salt solution using the measuring
sight glass.
Note:
Wait until the kettle is being vacuum purged before making up the salt solution, since the salt solution must be charged to the kettle within 10 minutes after make-up; otherwise, the salt solution must be sewered
and a fresh solution prepared.
Caustic Solution Preparation
a. Charge 40 gallons of cold water to the caustic mix tank.
b. Add 4 pounds of flake caustic to the dissolving cone in the tank.
It will take about 5 minutes to dissolve the caustic. This solution should be prepared so that it will be ready to immediately follow the final emulsifier charge to the
kettle.
Safety
Caustic is a very hazardous material. The following safety precautions must be observed.
1. Rubber gloves, rubber apron, chemical goggles and face shield must be worn when handling caustic.
2. Caustic must be handled in closed containers. When
on the kettle floor, the covers must be tightly

1. Use Graph 1 on MS 3853 from the start of the catalyst to the start of the scheduled emulsifier charge. The emulsifier is started when the BTU reading reaches the level specified in Table E.
2. When the scheduled emulsifier charge is started (see Section 7 below), the BTU meter is zeroed and then the catalyst charge rate is adjusted to maintain the reaction rate shown on Graph 2 of MS 3853.
8., Scheduled Emulsifier Addition:
a. The start of the scheduled emulsifier varies with seed size. The BTU integrator readings at the start of the scheduled emulsifier are tabulated in Table E, Section 634.38.
b. Stop the catalyst pump 100 BTU integrator units before the start of the scheduled emulsifier to prevent too high a reaction rate when the scheduled emulsifier is charged.
c. To start the scheduled emulsifier, close the valve in the recirculating line and open the valve to the kettle at the proper BTU integrator reading. (Re-zero the BTU meter at this time).
d. Set the emulsifier programmer cam to the start point.
e. Check the sight" glass to be sure flow has started.
f. Control the charging rate with the emulsifier programmer cam to follow the scheduled program shown in MS 3855. Record the tank level in gallons on MS 3855 every 500 BTU units.

11., Reflux Condenser By-Pass
Condenser By-Pass on No, 1, 2, 3.Kettle
Instrumentation is provided for kettle pressure control during the latter portion of the batch cycle. This will be accomplished by instrument operation of the condenser inlet and by-pass valves. The purpose of this installation is to reproducibly by-pass the reflux condenser so as to prevent foaming and loss in heat removal capacity during the heat kick, especially on higher temperature polymeriz ations, e.g., Foamable Paste.
The instrumentation consists of two gauges, a selector switch and an auto-manual station.
One gauge will indicate kettle pressure and kettle pressure control set point. The control set point will be 125 psig. for Seed, Opalon 410, 440 and 400; for Foamable Paste, the set point will be 135 psig.
The set point must be changed by an instrument man before and after product changes to and from Foamable Paste.
The second gauge will indicate the amount of condenser
by-pass. A reading of 10% oi less indicates full cooling
and a reading of 80% or more indicates a condition of full
by-pass (condenser inlet valve closed and by-pass open).

IX. Reflux Condenser By-Pass (Cont*d)
The auto-manual station provides for operator control of the by-pass operation. With the auto-manual station in the manual position, the by-pass is carried out in exactly the same manner as it was previously done on No. 3 kettle, i.e., turning a knob on a pressure regulator to the inlet and by-pass valves.
The selector switch directly controls the by-pass operation. When the selector switch is in the "Normal" position, the condenser is on full cooling (condenser inlet valve open and by-pass closed). When the selector switch is switched to the "By-Pass" position, a pneumatic timing circuit will go into operation and will gradually limit the amount of water going to the condenser. The time for complete by-pass is adjustable from 15 minutes to over one hour.
Normal Operation of the Condenser By-Pass System
1. At the start of the water charge:
a. The auto-manual station was placed in the auto matic position.
b. The condenser selector switch was placed in the "Normal" position,
2. As the reaction proceeds and the batch conversion reaches 70%, the reaction rate will increase rapidly, as noted on the BTU meter recorder, and the batch pressure will'start to pulse and fall off. This usually occurs at approximately 7300-7500 BTU.
3. When the batch is defintely 4-6 psig below saturation pressure, open the condenser by-pass valves and close the condenser water valves for the condensers.
NOTE:
By removing the condensers from heat transfer
service during the unsaturated period, foaming
will be minimized.

3. The pneumatic timing circuit will go into operation. As the condenser is by-passed, the kettle pressure will start to rise. When the pressure rises to about 5-6 psig. below the set point, 125 lbs., the controller will come into operation. If the pressure continues to rise, the controller will override the timing circuit and not allow more by-passing to take place. Continued pressure rise will increase cooling. At 135 psig., a pressure switch will automatically stop the catalyst pump, if it has not been already stopped.
4. At a pressure of 140 psig., the valves will failsafe to full cooling position.
5. When the batch is transferred out of the kettle, return condenser selector switch to "Normal" position.
6. Once the by-pass operation has begun on automatic control, never attempt to complete it on manual control, because if the switch from auto to manual is not properly done, complete condenser plugging and loss of heat transfer will result.
NOTE:
In the event kettle pressure cannot be controlled at 125 psig., at 145 psig. start venting as described in the heat kick control procedure.
12. Heatkick Control:
a. Switch the batch TRC to manual and drop the jacket TRC set point ot 0C when the batch temperature reaches 53C in the heatkick. Open the manual jacket dump valve.
b. Stop the catalyst addition when the batch temperature reaches 56C in the heat kick.
(At 6400 BTU I.U., reduce the emulsifier programmer cam to minimum position and charge at this rate until the start of the final emulsifier charge).
