DESCRIPTION OF PROCESS
I.
IHTRODPCTIOH
Diphenyl is produced by a pyrolysis reaction between two molecules of benzol In which one molecule of diphenyl and one molecule of.hydrogen are formed. The pyrolysis is brought about in this particular case by stepwise vaporizing and super-heating benzol by bubbling the vapor through a series of pots filled with molten lead. The temperature to which the final lead pot or "converter" is heated determines the percentage of the benzol converted, which increases with higher temperatures.
Several other pyrolysis reactions also occur producing mainly terphenyl and also some more highly polymerized compounds. In addition, some free carbon is foxmed which deposits in the units causing considerable maintenance difficulties because of plug-ups. The percentage of terphenyl in the crude Biphenyl is rough ly the seme as the conversion percentage of the benzol.
SYNOPSIS OF PROCESS
Liquid benzol is shipped in tank car lots to the plant site and unloaded through the top dome by a siphon type pumping arrangement delivering the benzol to storage tanks. The benzol delivery pipe is steam traced and the storage tanks have steam coils to prevent the benzol from freezing in the winter. Each of the five storage tanks has a sump pump for delivering benzol to the feed tank. These feed tanks are automatically refilled by a continuous "let-down" control. Only one of the storage tanks is allowed to feed the feed tank at a time. This choice of storage tank is manually determined by an operator. The single feed tank services all of the diphenyl units by means of a centrifugal pump fed from a bottom outlet la the tank. The benzol feeds a header where the Individual feeds are metered through orifices to the different units.
Isopropyl alcohol is added to the benzene feed in concentrations of 0 to 0.5T by weight, usually 0.15Z is added. This isopropyl alcohol is pumped to the suction of the benzene feed pump where it is mixed and pumped to the waits. This material catalyzes the conversion, that is, n 40-60C. lower operating tempera ture can be maintained when this suiterlal is added to the feed benzene.
There are twelve diphenyl units of equal capacity, each consisting of a pipe coil vaporizer located in the flue gas exhaust stack, two preheater pots and a converter pot filled with molten lead and suspended in a firebrick setting for burning natural gas, and a fractionating column with a condenser and split flow box. In two of the units. Nos. 4 and 5, one of the preheater pots is replaced with a heat exchanger.
The units are numbered 2 through 13, there having been a No. 1 unit at one time. The present number of units were erected in five installments, Hos. 2 and 3 having been erected at diffensntfinds. Nos. 4 and S together. Nos. 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 together, and Nos. 11, 12, and 13 together so that these groups are all

lightly different in some detail*. However, there are only actually two funda mentally different types of units, Hos. 4 and 5 differing from the rest in that one of the preheater pots is replaced by a heat exchanger. Although the heat exchanger effected a gas savings a* predicted, it proved Impractical due to carbon formation fouling the tubes and the idea was abandoned on the subsequent units.
After the benzol feed has been metered through an orifice, it passes through the vaporizer pipe coll in the flue gas exhaust stack where the liquid benzol is vaporized and at the same time recovers soae of the heat from the exhaust flue gases. The benzol vapor is then bubbled through molten lead la the two preheater pots in series and the temperature stepped up to the pyrolysis reaction tempera ture. The hot vapors are converted to 10-301 diphenyl as they leave the converter pot, which is similar to the preheater pots except that the molten lead is very carefully controlled at the desired reaction temperature, usually between 750 and 810C. The temperature is adjusted to give the percent conversion needed to maintain the balance between Biphenyl and Santowax needed to meet sales demands.
After leaving the converter, the benzol and conversion products pass first through a lead trap (which is essentially a vide place la the line) for removing entrained lead and then enter the bottom plate of a fractionating column. A considerable amount of carbon adheres to the pipes between the converter and the lead trap,and the lead trap and the fractionating column, necessitating the re moval and cleaning of the pipes every one to six months.
The super-heat in the vapors from the converter is utilized in a fractionating column to effect a partial separation of the benzol from the conversion products. The conversion products are later completely separated in a batch distillation. The colusrn top is maintained at(l00C. by refluxing the condensed benzol vapors back to the top plate. The conversion product and same benzol is condensed in the column and allowed to overflow from a carbon trap on the bottom of the column to a crude diphenyl catch tank for storage prior to batch distillation. The overhead vapors from the column are cooled by a partial condenser and the liquid benzol drained to a rotawelr for spitting the flow into reflux and benzol overhead which is "run back" to the benzol feed tank by gravity. The rotawelr is used to adjust the ratio between reflux and overhead. There are five differently sized and designed groups of condensers, a mew design having been made for each install ment of units as mentioned earlier, and a different design used to replace some had condensers. In addition, these condensers have been shifted from one unit to another to facilitate cleaning and repairing condensers.
The conversion product hydrogen, saturated with benzol vapor, is bled off from the condenser and rotavelr, collected in a comon header, and passed through six coolers, connected in parallel, where some of the benzol is condensed and allowed to run by gravity back to the auxiliary feed tank. From the coolers the saturated hydrogen gas is passed to a collecting tank in which more of the benzol condenses out and is drained to the benzol pump tank in the compressor room. The hydrogen from the collecting tank is compressed in two stages to 250-300#/ia. An intercooler and aftercooler condenses the benzol vapor after each stage. This benzol is collected in pressure receivers after each stage and periodically

V blown by the hydrogen pressure over lto the pump tank for retarm to the benzol feed teak. The hydrogea is vented to the atmosphere or else used la the aaaufacture of HB-40, HB-20, etc.
la the secoad type of ualt (Hos. 4 aad 5) the flow of Material is essentially the sane as that described above except the vaporized benzol feed eaerglag froa the vaporizer coll passes through a heat exchanger la lieu of oae of the preheaters. The conversion products aad benzol from the converter pot are also passed through the heat exchanger, countercurrent to the benzol feed, thus transferring sensible heat from the converted gases to preheat the feed. The conversion products and vapors froa the converter pot then pass on to a column as is the case vlth the other units.
Sons of the units have been altered since their installation.
Ualt Ho. 4 is being equipped vlth a 4 foot extension on the converter. This exten sion to the converter will act as a sojourn section. This addition reaction space will provide additional reaction time and permit a temperature redaction of 30-60C. in Che converter while maintaining the same percent conversion. This reduced temperature will minimize carbon formation and reduce the heat exchanger fouling and unit clean-outs. The lead traps vlll be eliminated.
Unit Ho. 11 has a large coll in the lover section of the column which acts as a vaporizer. The flow Is through the large coll, the standard vaporizer coil in the stack, the three pots, and to the column. The hot gases from the converter ( pot heat the benzene in the large coil and vaporize the benzene. The recovery of heat from the converted gas stream has permitted an increased benzene feed rate of about 100 gallons per hour. The increase is due to better utilization of the heat input aad the reduced heat load on the column and condenser. Room for this large coil vas made available by removing the two lover bubble cap plates from the column.
Units Hos. 12 and 13 are equipped vlth this large coll but the coil is being by passed because the units surged and caused excessive pressures throughout the unit, thus blowing the gaskets around the top of the preheater and converter pots. Ho. 11 unit also surges occasionally but since Ho. 11 unit is equipped with a sojourn pot (the same as vlll be Installed on Ho. 4 unit), the added space provides a cushion to absorb the sudden expansion caused by rapid vaporization of benzene in the large coil.
Ho. 11 unit is being equipped vlth an automatic reflux control which vlll control the reflux rate to maintain a constant vapor temperature on the third plate from the top of the column.
Each unit is equipped with two orifice plates betveen the converter and column. These orifice plates are sized to give a pressure drop of about 40 pslg and thereby permit an Increased pot operating pressure. Increased soujourn time, and a reduced operating temperature and minimize lead carryover from both entrainment and lead vaporization. The diameter of these orifices are 1.031 and 1.014 laches, the larger orifice being upstream from the smaller one.

The sump product fro* *11 the column* la collected by gravity im two crude diphenyl catch tanka. Th* piping to the tanks la steaa jacketed to prevent the diphenyl fro* freezing and has a liquid trap to prevent vapors fro* entering the catch tank fro* the column. The tanks are vented into the hydrogen header to equalize the
pressura.
The two hatch stills' each consist of a horizontal, cylindrical tank surmounted by a fractionating column, a submerged Runsay pump, and a gas fired coil heater. The punp circulates the still charge fro* the tank, through the coll heater and back to the tank. The rate of distillation of the crude diphenyl is con trolled by the coobustioa rate of natural gas in the gas fired heater, which is controlled by an adjustable autonatic temperature recorder and controller so as to give a temperature rise of 20-25C. between inlet and exit temperatures of the still charge through the heater coil. If an attempt is ssade to increase the temperature rise above 25C., the coil becomes plugged with carbon.
The vapors fro* the still are separated in a fractionating column. The first cut from the column at 80C. is benzol which is returned by gravity to a catch tank for subsequent return to the benzol feed tank for recycling through the diphenyl units. The benzol cut is not run directly back to the feed tank because of the possibility of not cutting the column at the proper time and allowing some con tamination to run back with the benzol. The next fraction, distilling between 80 and a distillate crystallizing point of 68.6C. is called "heads" and consists of light oils with boiling points nearing that of diphenyl.
The diphenyl fraction is collected until the temperature in the still pot reaches 340-350C. The tail cut is collected until the distillate vappr temperature in the top of the column reaches 300C.
The various distillation cuts are made with these reflux ratios:
Benzol Cut Heads Cut Biphenyl Cut Tails Cut
201
501 201 151
The high boiler, remaining in the still as residue, is pumped to the high boiler catch tank fro* which it is run into 55 gallon drums for storage or pumped to the Santowax still or Santowax storage tank.
In order to prevent freezing of diphenyl in the condenser at the top of the fractionating column, the consenser cooling water must be at a temperature near the melting point of diphenyl (158F.). The flow of pond water is adjusted to prevent freezing of the product. It is generally necessary only to cut back the flev of pond water at the end of a distillation.
The diphenyl production is measured in a catch tank, and pumped to storage tanks or task cars by a 2" Rumsay vertical sump pump.
The heads and tails are collected and charged back to the next still batch.

The carbon formed in the diphenyl omits partly deposits la the pipe after the converter omits, through the lead trap, la the pipe after the lead trap, aad la the fractloaatlag colon. These pipes become plugged with carbon aad must be dismantled and cleaned every oae to six months. The lead trap aad frac tionating colon are cleaned out at more infrequent intervals. This so called "carbon" deposit analyzes as follows:
Lead.......................................... Insoluble in HNO*............
(carbon included).... Insoluble, ignited............ Iron oxide, insoluble... Carbon, combustion............
56.51
42.71 18.51
0.71 28.91
As moch of this piping and equipment Is above the melting point of lead. It is evident that the adhering carbon prevents coalescence of the molten lead drop lets .
The amount of reflux returned to the fractionating colon is controlled by the operator to niataia a temperature of sibout 100C. at the colun top. The cooling water to the condenser is operated a: full capacity and as the heat duty of each unit is approximately the same, it is apparent that the amount of reflux required will vary according to the effectiveness of each condenser at a particular time. When the temperature of the effluent water exceeds 70C., the condensers are cleaned.
The diphenyl units produce crude diphenyl by a continuous process with a 24hour day operation. The number of units operated depends upon the diphenyl market or the maintenance required on the equipment. The crude diphenyl is collected and batch distilled at intervals depending upon the rate of collection. The batch distilling requires 10-12 hours.

Function: Operation:
Materials Handled:
1: To provide a source of benzol for feeding to the diphenyl units.
2: To provide s catch tank for the benzol re turned from the diphenyl process.
Let-dovn from benzol storage tanks is intermittent. Run-back from diphenyl units is continuous. Return from benzol recovery system is batchvise. Return from hydrogen coolers is continuous. This benzol returns to the auxiliary benzol feed tank and is periodically pumped back to the primary benzol feed tank.
When returning recovered benzol to the primary benzol feed tank from the benzol recovery system (hydrogen compressors), the distilled benzol catch tank or the auxiliary benzol feed tank, the operator must first cut off the automatic let-dovn from the benzol storage tank and let the level of the benzol in the feed tank drop enough to provide for the additional benzol returned.
In addition, the distilled benzol must be checked for clear color before returning it to the feed tank.
The operator must manually once or twice per shift drain off the water in the feed tank which comes from the water priming during un loading and from condensed moisture from the atmosphere.

The recycled benzol also contains traces of vater and finally divided carbon. The vater is slightly corrosive as It asatalns 0.031 sulfates, 0.031 chlorides, and some undetermined reducing compounds vhlch vll 1 react with oxygen.
It Is necessary to return the recycled benzol to the feed tank rather than the storage tanks as it has been determined that the recycled benzol contains some undetermined catalyst vhlch upsets the operation of the diphenyl units. There fore, an effort is made to blend the recycled benzol in with the fresh feed In a more or less constant ratio to maintain smooth operation of the units.
An automatic level (let-dovn) control is provided for maintaining the supply of benzol la the feed taak. When the level of benzol in the feed tank recedes to 15" below the top, the automatic con trol starts one of the transfer pumps. The transfer pump Is automatically shut off when the benzol level Is 9" below the top of the feed tank.
Another similar level control to that controlling the transfer pump is provided for sounding a high and a low level alarm should the level exceed 3" beyond the control level.
A manually operated five-point selector svltch is provided at the feed tank for selecting the benzol storage tank to furnish the benzol feed.

Normally no controls sre needed. However, it is necessary to avoid overheating the vaporiser when benzol is not being fed during start-ups and shut-downs.
To prevent overheating during start-ups, the exhaust gas is diverted from the vpi>iir by exhausting through a special by-pass stack.
During shut-downs, cool air is vented into the exhaust stack to cool the vaporizer.
The benzol feed outlet temperature, the ex haust gas inlet temperature, and the exhaust gas outlet temperature are recorded on the 12 point temperature recorded.

Item 202: Heat Exchanger (1-Rcquired) Installed on Dnits 4 & 5 Only
Comment:
The use of s heat exchanger on units 4 and 5 deviated from the prevailing design. The heat exchanger replaces the preheater and conserves fuel by recovering sensible heat from the converter vapors.
Function:
1. To further super-heat the benzol vapor from the vaporizer.
2. To recover some of the heat from the vapors leaving the converter.
Operation:
Continuous. The converter vapors make a single pass through the tubes, countercurrent to the benzol vapor making a single pass through seg mental baffles on the shell side.

Beat Balance: Controls: Size & Type:
The condenser duty for all the units should be substantially the same and should consist approximately of the amount of super-heat in the vapors from the converter less the amount of heat loss from the surface of the fractiona ting column.
This duty has been calculated to be about 625,000 BTU/hr. average based on a study as reported in a memo to Hr. J. F. Reeves, 5/25/48 written by Hr. G. W. Jordan.
The present system of control is to run the condenser with the water valve wide open and the split flow box adjusted to maintain the top of the column at 100C.
The temperature of the cooling water and the efficiency of the condenser therefore deter mine the rate of benzol flow through the shell and the cooling water outlet temperature.
This system of controlling has the advantage of simplicity but does not provide the most effective use of the condenser and cooling water.
