CPVC Model

The document provides a process flow diagram for the production of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC). Key steps include: 1) Combustion of methane, ethane, and propane produces chlorine vapor, which is absorbed into liquid chlorine. 2) Liquid chlorine is vaporized and mixed with polyvinyl chloride resin slurry in a chlorination reactor. 3) The reacted slurry is centrifuged to produce a wetcake containing 67-68% CPVC particles, which is further processed to produce solid CPVC resin.
