REVAMPING OF AMMONIUM PERCHLORATE (AP) RECOVERY PLANT AT APEP, ALUVA

1.0 Introduction

Ammonium Perchlorate Experimental Plant (APEP), Aluva is a unit under Vikram Sarabahi

Space Centre (VSSC) which produces Ammonium Perchlorate (AP). AP recovery plant is a

facility of APEP to increase the AP yield by recovering AP from the Crude Mother Liquor

(CML) generated from the main process. It also indirectly aid to reduce the percentage of AP

in the final effluent. Here CML is subjected to evaporation and crystallization to recover AP.

This plant has evaporators, crystallizers, pumps associated pipelines and interconnecting

structural frame work. There are two streams of operation. All the major equipments are

positioned on stainless steel structures with SS platforms and ladders.

6.0 PROCESS DESCRIPTION

Ammonium perchlorate present in the Crude Mother Liquor (CML) formed during AP

production in the main plant is recovered using the AP recovery plant as shown in the following

flow chart. The process steps involve mainly evaporation and crystallisation. During

evaporation, sodium chloride present in the mother liquor crystallizes while AP remains in the

solution. NaCl thus formed is filtered in hot condition and dissolved in water for disposal. The

evaporation is carried out in two stages. The AP rich filtrate is pumped to a crystallizer for

crystallization by cooling. The AP crystals thus formed is dissolved in hot water and pumped

back to the main plant for further purification processes.

welding shall be carried out in the actual hardware using the process established in

Phase-1 stage.
