PRODUCTION OF 1-TETRADECENE AT 100 TONS PER YEAR

The purpose of the project is to study the production of 1-Tetradecene through processing and refining process method and to perform energy balance, material balance and design the equipments involved in this process. We used chemcad chemstation software for process simulation and determining the phase envelope graph. We created a component, 1-octacosene in component database of chemcad simulation software.
