Year
Based on the market analysis that our group has been made,
we can conclude that the demand and supply of maleic anhydride
will keep increasing in the coming years due to the multi usages of
maleic anhydride.
As we know, the demand is always greater than the supply of
maleic anhydride for every five year. Thus, to make a target for the
production capacity, the shortage must be first calculated.
Shortage = Average demand of maleic anhydride - Average
supply of maleic anhydride
To calculate the average demand and supply of maleic
anhydride, we take the data from the line graph of Figure 2.1 in year
2015.
Shortage:
= (2200000-1800000) tonnes/year
= 400000 tonnes/year

2.2
Based on Asian market price for the end of August 2013, the price of
maleic anhydride was assessed at $1,6001,650/tonne, which is
approximately RM8256-8514/tonne (ICIS 2013).
2.3
Conclusion
The demand for maleic anhydride is growing rapidly every year with
an annual growth of 7.3% where the highest demand is a Western
Europe followed by Japan. Of the total demand Asia produces about
44% of maleic anhydride for the global market. The maleic
anhydride producing countries in Asia are China, Malaysia, South
Korea, China and Taiwan. The economic crisis of 2007 through most
of 2009 contributed to a large drop in consumption of maleic
anhydride
in
most
regions.
Chinese
consumption
of
maleic
anhydride slowed, but did not decline during the same period. The
unsaturated polyester resin market, maleic anhydride's largest
consuming market, took a large hit from the weak housing,
construction, automotive and boating industries. At the end of 2009,
several markets started to improve and there was a significant
increase in demand in 2010. Unsaturated polyester resins will
12
continue to have the largest market share and will drive refined
maleic anhydride consumption on a global scale. The developing
regions will experience the highest growth in maleic anhydride for
unsaturated polyester resin production since a considerable amount
of unsaturated polyester resin goes into infrastructure. Overall
economic health will affect the unsaturated polyester resin market
because it is tied to the construction, automotive and marine
industries. In future, smaller end-use applications will experience
higher-than-average growth, such as maleic copolymers in the
United States. New product developmentdriven by increasing the
use of renewable or replacing one petroleum-based chemical with a
more environmentally friendly onewill drive maleic anhydride
consumption in this application. The use of maleic anhydride and
maleic anhydride copolymers will stand to gain from the increasing
importance of recyclability, biodegradability and the use of more
sustainable chemicals.

effluent from V-101, Stream 11, is sent to waste treatment. Stream
12, the liquid effluent, is sent to R-102 where maleic acid is broken
down to maleic anhydride and water. The reactor effluent is then
sent to distillation column, T-102, where maleic anhydride and water
are separated. The distillate, Stream 14, is sent to waste treatment.
Stream 15, the bottoms, consists of 99-wt percent maleic anhydride.

4.1.1 Long term effects because of environmental issues related to
the maleic
anhydride plant.
Exposure to maleic anhydride may occur from accidental release to
the environment or in a workplace where it is produce or used and
also from the contact with spills, fugitive emission, or vent gases.
Chronic exposure to maleic anhydride has been observed to cause
chronic bronchitis, asthma-like attacks, pulmonary oedema, upper
respiratory tract irritation, eye irritation, and dermatitis in workers.

exhausts and fed to the incinerator, where unreacted butanes and
reaction by-products (carbon monoxide, acetic and acrylic acids) are
combusted. The waste heat is recovered as high pressure steam,
which is combined with the steam from the reactor and
superheated. A portion of this steam can be used to drive the air
compressor, with the excess exported or used to generate electric
power.
4.1.4 Current Issue Related to Maleic Anhydride.
4.1.4.1
Anhydride in Taiwan.
May 2013, the issue of toxic starch in Taiwanese food had spread all
over the world. Department of Health of China had announced that
it had found maleic acid in food such as tapioca balls (the balls in
bubble tea), rice noodles and oolian a Taiwanese night market staple
inspired by Japanese tempura. Pointing out that the acid is formed
after maleic anhydride comes into contact with water, the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) raised the possibility of maleic anhydridegrafted starch being used in food products to make them chewier
(The Straits Times 2013).
To
cut

costs
and
to
reduce
the
water
from Taiwan out of sixty six tested. Besides, AVA said all products
had been withdrawn from stores and consumers who bought the
products were asked to return them to the retailers or discard them
(Asia News Network 2013).
However, as the solution, the Department of Health of China
has demanded that all tainted food products be promptly removed
from shelves and destroyed, and that a risk alert mechanism be
established to enhance food safety inspections and management
nationwide. The government will also implement border control
measures

Mass Balance
5.1.1
Mass balance is used to compare the inputs and the output of the processes. It is an
application of the law of conservation of mass to analyze the physical system. Law of
the conservation of mass states that the mass of a closed system will remain constant,
regardless the processes occur in the system. This mean that the mass enter the system
must equal to the mass leave the system. By accounting for material entering or
leaving a system, mass flows can be identified which might have been unknown, or
difficult to measure without this technique. The purpose for using the mass balance is
to ensure that there is no mass loss during the entire reaction.

COMPRESSOR
Figure 3 shows the raw materials, butane in stream 1 and compressed air in stream 2
are mixed. The components in the stream 2 are the same as in the stream 3 which
contains oxygen, nitrogen and water. There is a mixer before the components in
stream 1 and 3 flow into stream 4.

CONCLUSION
Maleic anhydride has been use a lot in industry to produce various
kind of product. However majority of it is use in unsaturated
polyester resin which is then used in both glass reinforced
applications and in unreinforced applications. Other than that it also
use in manufacture of alkyd resins, production of agricultural
chemicals ,maliec acid, copolymers and etc.
Even though unsaturated polyester resin was the largest end use
market for maleic anhydride in 2012 but, the demand is strongest in
the BDO market due to the growing use in the production of elastic
fibers, plant protection, thermoplastic polyurethanes, coatings,
solvents, pharmaceuticals, and electronic chemicals. Increasing
demand for maleic anhydride has triggered capacity expansion by
