Seal Sands, England, United Kingdom

I was employed as a shift production technician working on behalf of INEOS on the BASF owned Hexamethylenediamene (HMD) production facility. The facility consists of three plant areas, each involved in the process of HMD production. The Hydrogen plant uses reforming technology to produce pure Hydrogen. The synthesis plant consists of a High-Pressure reactor system in which the pure Hydrogen is reacted with imported Adiponitrile to produce crude HMD. The final stage in the process is the refining plant, where the crude HMD undergoes several clean up stages through various columns to remove any by-products and further purify the produced HMD.
