DESCRIPTION

Plant Design Competition aims to hone participants' plant designing competence and

regional awareness by focusing on empowering the nation through coal-based

chemical with the given specific theme. The process is focused on producing the

intermediate chemical product. We dont concern on the process to produce the

downstream chemical products or end products. Participants are undergraduate

students from various nations in Southeast Asian countries and beyond.

BACKGROUNDSoutheast Asia has became an important player in global coal markets and will

continue its role for the coming decades. Indonesia remains one of the worlds major

producers and exporters, while the broader region becomes a key centre for coal

demand. At the end of 2011, Southeast Asia had 28 billion tonnes in total coal reserves,

or 2.7% of the world total. The vast majority of these are located in Indonesia, which

contains significant hard and brown coal, and there are some hard coal reserves in

Vietnam. Existing coal reserves in the region would be sufficient to sustain current rates

of production for 80 years, though there is large potential for resources to be converted

to reserves as exploration and production expands, particularly in Indonesia. Southeast

Asias reserves are predominantly sub-bituminous coal, bituminous coal and lignite of

low and medium energy content, making them well-suited for use in power generation.

Coal use continuously increase as a replacement for oil and natural gas. ASEAN

plays significant roles in coal consumption and production in Asia Pacific. Using the

value chain approach, it is projected that coal producer countries in ASEAN will have the

chance to maximize the market through bilateral trade or AEC framework. The AEC can

foster market integration in ASEAN, builds awareness of ASEAN countries to develop

their infrastructure in energy sufficiency, as well as develops clean coal technology.

On the other hand, energy source is not the only function of coal. Nowadays, coal

is being developed as the substitute of petrochemicals feedstock. Petrochemicals are

chemical products made from the hydrocarbons present in raw natural gas and

petroleum crude oil. Petrochemicals are used to manufacture thousands of products

people use every day, like plastics, soaps, fertilizers, electronic equipment, clothing, and

a host of others. But the problem is natural gas and petroleum crude oil is getting

smaller. Based on the reserve to production ratio of fossil energy in Indonesia, coal has

the biggest potential with lifetime of 75 years. While gas potential would be finished in

the next 33 years. Oil is the smallest potential of fossil energy resources with potential

last only until the next 12 years, if no new reserves are found.

Feedstocks are the various hydrocarbons derived from the refining of oil, gas and

coal. These are then further refined to produce chemical products. They are the building

blocks of the chemical industry. These building blocks are converted into a wide range

of chemical products with a wide array of uses. At the feedstock stage, they are usually

known as intermediates then the intermediates are processed into plastics, liquids and

resins which ultimately are turned into useful products. Some feedstocks, however, are

used directly to produce chemicals, such as methane and BTX. But ethane, propane,

butanes, naphtha and gas oil are optional feedstocks for steam crackers that produce

intermediate chemical feedstocks. Other examples of intermediate feedstocks include

ethylene, propylene, butenes and butadiene.

Coal-derived feedstock is predominantly methanol, obtained from a coal-to-

liquids process. Coal can also be gasified to produce feedstocks. The primary raw

chemical input produced from coal is methanol, which is produced through coal

gasification and subsequently, methanol synthesis and refining. Coals modern

resurgence as chemical feedstocks is centered in China. Since 2000, China has beeninvesting an increasing amount into the production of coal-based chemicals,

substituting these for traditional crude oil based processes. The plausible reasons are

the cheap price of coal and the strategic desire to be self-sufficient in resource inputs.

The industrial base originally focused on five areas of chemical replacement. Those five

base chemical products currently made from coal in China are: Light oil (containing

benzene, toluene and xylene) as a by-product of coke oven steel industry operations;

Acetylene used for production of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) and 1,4 Butanediol

(BDO). VCM is used to produce polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics. BDO is used for a

variety of plastics, elastic; Urea and Ammonia used mainly for the production of

fertilizers; Coal to Olefins (CTO), also referred to more commonly as alkenes;

Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) production, utilizing a new process route based on

gasification of coal with several further reactions to obtain methyl nitrate into dimethyl

oxalate into MEG.

PLANT OVERVIEW

The scope of this competition is designing a plant which produce intermediate chemical

product, like Styrene, Polyethylene, Propylene, Caprolactam, Vinyl Chloride Monomer,

Ethylene Glycol, etc. The raw material of the plant must be coal. Participants have to

design the first process of converting the coal, whether it is pyrolysis, hydropyrolysis, or

gasification. Then, participants will design the next processes which produce the

chemical product. We do not concern about the process which converts intermediate

chemical products to downstream chemical products and end products, such as

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN), plastic, rubber, etc.

Participants are not allowed to produce coal-based fuel, like diesel and gasoline.

Participants should process the byproducts in the plant only until the product can be

sold (not to process them into chemical products as well). If byproducts can be

solddirectly, then the process is not required. All processes in the plant which is

designed should be sustainable and environmentally friendly.
