Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Vinyl Chloride production from ethylene and chlorine via a balanced process. This typical balanced process combines two ethylene dichloride (EDC) production routes, direct chlorination and oxychlorination, for the production of Vinyl Chloride. By doing so, hydrogen chloride byproduct, produced in the thermal cracking unit, is used as raw material in the oxychlorination unit for additional production of EDC from ethylene. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 7767869, issued to Vinnolit in 2010 (2) US Patent 6235953, issued to Vinnolit in 2001 Keywords: Chloroethene, 1,2-Dichloroethane, Hydrochlorination, INEOS, Vinnolit, Balanced Process
