Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a process and apparatus for heat recovery in vinyl chloride monomer manufacturing plants or in integrated vinyl chloride monomer/polyvinyl chloride manufacturing plants. A process for capture and use of excess heat recovered in the production of vinyl chloride includes distillatively purifying DCE in a high-boilers column, using a heat exchanger to capture thermal energy from a purified DCE vapor stream from the high-boilers column, generating low pressure steam from the captured thermal energy, returning condensed DCE vapors to the high-boilers column, and heating parts of the plant with the generated low pressure steam.
