The quench contents are fed to a 7 - stage distillation column above stage 2 at 1 2 atm ( T 1 0 0 ;

The quench contents are fed to a 7-stage distillation column above stage 2 at 12 atm (T100; stream 8) where HCl is recovered at 97% purity in the distillate (stream 9) and the remainder of the pyrolysis products are fed in the bottoms stream to a second, similar, 9-stage distillation column above stage 3 at 4.8 atm (T-101; stream 10). This column yields a 97.6% pure vinyl chloride stream in the distillate (stream 11) and the 1,2-dichloroethane-rich bottoms stream is recycled ahead of the centrifugal pump (stream 12). The energy flow framework diagram (EFD) and process flow diagram (PFD) for direct chlorination process are given in Figure 1 and 2, respectively. Summaries data for all the processes is given in Table 1.
Derive a differential balance on total mass and vinyl chloride if Stream 11 is to be stored in a wellmixed tank. Provide your initial conditions. Predict the volume of the tank to be installed if the tank requires 10 hours to be fully filled.
