Cyclohexanone-2 plant overhaul is finished

Cyclohexanone-2 plant overhaul took a month.
The reason for such long stop was implementation of the part of the development investment program of JSC "Grodno Azot" - "Reconstruction of the unit for reception of rectified cyclohexanone- ". There was no anything similar done in caprolactam plants before it.
Except reconstruction of the unit for reception of rectified cyclohexanone, in the course of overhaul was made technical survey and diagnosing of vessels, audit, cleaning, repair of the equipment, platforms on its service and armatures, selective audit of technological pipelines etc.
The ultimate goal - quality improvement of rectified cyclohexanone is reached.
