Process optimization in the heart of the chemical industry
optimization of HCN synthesis
Adisseo (world leader in animal nutrition), located in Roussillon between Lyon and Valence, is engaged in a continuous process improvement. More specifically on the HCN synthesis process.
Adisseo has commissioned, tested and successfully qualified for more than 1 year two ProCeas® gas analyzers to measure online:
- the input of the converters: NH3, CH4, and O2 concentrations.
- the output of the converters: HCN, NH3, CH4, and H2O concentrations.
Before this acquisition, the previous analytical method only allowed one measurement every 20 minutes and was highly interfered by H2O.
After some sampling adaptations, the AP2E analytical cabinets, installed in ATEX Zone 2 now allow real-time measurement of these parameters on both converters without water interference problems. The real-time measurement brings a better knowledge of the possible drifts of the process thusimproves the efficiency of the installation.
