Nylon 6 Polymer Chip Plant - 140 MTPD

Stock # 460
Capacity 140 MTPD
Products Nylon 6 Polymer Chip

Overview

Used 140 MTPD Nylon 6 Polymer Chip Plant built in 1999. Designed to make polymer in cylindrical chip form by reacting caprolactam in VK tube reactors. Caprolactam is polymerized under elevated temperature and moderate pressure, under the strict exclusion of oxygen and in presence of water to a high viscous melt. The plant includes two (2) production lines with capacity of 100 MTPD and 40 MTPD, respectively. Each line includes 6 major process sections: lactam / additive preparation and dosing, continuous polymerization, chip production, continuous extraction, continuous drying and extract water evaporation.
