Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Pentaerythritol (PER) production from acetaldehyde and formaldehyde. In this process, formaldehyde and acetaldehyde go through a two-step reaction to form Pentaerythritol and sodium formate. The reactor product solution is sent to an evaporator and a trayed column for unconverted formaldehyde removal and concentration of the solution. The concentrated solution is then crystallized, dried and sent to storage. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: PER, polyol, neopolyol esters
