Abstracts: GACL (Gujarat Alkalies and Chemical Limited) at vadodara, produces mainly caustic soda, and some co-products. By using these co-products GACL produces many types of alkalies and chemicals like – Hydrogen peroxide, Chloromethane, etc. In which we have studied the detail process of production of chloromethane in plant. During the study we have encountered some problems like – 1. Methane separation from natural gas is carry out in cold box, which takes more time to separate out methane, 2. In the reboiler, of distillation section, has triangular pitch type arrangement, which causes chocking problem, At present in chloromethane plant, industry using cold box to separating out methane from the natural gas. And the reboiler uses, is having triangular pitch type arrangement. Hence we are going to tackle this project to short out these two problems, by applying technological improvements.
