Fluor Carbon Fiber Production Facility

1999 - 2002 Ponca City, Oklahoma, United States

Lead engineer for an 8.3 million lbs/yr carbon fiber production facility. This is a unique facility employing new technology. Proving the operation of this plant will allow a low cost pathway for carbon fiber production.

The project involves the scale-up of a pilot plant facility. The design process was able to successfully adapt to take advantage of a continuing R & D effort. Moreover, as a result of our participation in the design, we have commissioned a longer term research effort to allow for further significant design enhancements. The results of this research will be incorporated into a 50 million lbs/yr facility scheduled for design in 2004. The process group drove a Value Awareness program which resulted in capital savings of 5.1 million dollars for a 180 million dollar facility.

The process involves the recovery of a heart-cut (Decant Oil Distillate) from No. 5 FCC Slurry Oil. An isotropic pitch is produced by thermal polymerization of the Decant Oil Distillate in a furnace. This stream is then processed to separate natural spin solvent from the heavier isotropic pitch

(Thermal Tar).

A mesophase pitch is extracted from the thermal tar, its melt point is increased by heat soaking, and it is then solvated with natural spin solvent and xylene prior to flaking. The melt point is further increased and dimer (the lower end of the mesophase range) is reduced in a two-stage mixer/settler extraction system. The resultant mesophase pitch is then flaked and stored. The xylene solvent is purified and reused.

The flaked mesophase pitch is heated. Melted and pumped to the spinning section. The carbon fibers are laid on a series of conveyors where the temperature is ramped up, solvent is removed and the fibers are heat treated. The fiber mat is wound up and transferred to warehouse. The fiber mat can be chopped or milled for specific applications. Technology of this process consists of heating viscous pitch, high temperature / high viscosity / high pressure pumping applications, spinning carbon fibers, heat treating carbon fibers, graphitization of carbon fibers, chopping / milling carbon fibers. Unique aspects of this project:

A facility of this type does not currently exist anywhere in the world today. We have pushed the envelope with regards to pumping systems (high pressure, high temperature, high viscosity), heat transfer systems (we are currently exceeding recommended temperature constraints for heat transfer fluids), and piping duct systems (our applications have no precedence in the current codes ASME B31.3 or SMACNA.

We had technology partners in the Spinning and Fiber Furnace sections of this facility. It has been a very involved process to earn our partners trust and develop the procedural and communication systems required to maintain progress on this project. Principal Process / Specialty Engineer
