Pilot Facilities for Polymer Trials
Lab-scale Pilot Plant is available:
Raw material from customers can be used for producing Polymers
Raw material and resulting polymer quality can be analyzed and evaluated
Pilot plant design allows simulation of different process parameter
EPC Polycarbonate Technology | 2013 | www.epc.com 18
Polycarbonate Trials – Optimal Material selection
Lab scale pilot plant is available for trials
Inadequate material selection may lead to a reaction between the phenol and the reactor material resulting in product
discoloration

Technology Advantages of ---ö
– No steam required in the plant
– Disposal of Saline water not required.
– Plant capacity adjustability (60% -100%)
– MFI adjustability – wider range & quicker change-over time
– Accurate MFI control (online viscosity measurement)
– Production of multiple PC grades possible (simultaneously)
– Optimal material selection as part of design – Minimal discoloration / corrosion
– No oxygen ingress – due to welded seals
– No catalyst inhibitor required
– High transparency end-product
– Higher plant availability – reduced downtime - continual operation possible during scheduled
maintenance
– Patented reactor design (hydraulic-driven finishing reactors & self-cleaning)
– Integrated phenol recovery - High purity spent Phenol / spent DPC
– All gaseous emissions controlled by incineration
– Multi –stage transesterification – high level of process control
