Description

A generic balanced VCM process is used when technology details are unkown.

When all the HCl generated in EDC cracking is re-used in an oxychlorination section, and when no EDC or HCI is imported or exported, then the VCM unit is called a ‘balanced unit’[1].

Upper Technology Type 'Ethylene Chlorination' category provides a detailed description of such as balanced VCM process.
