Although processes for the production of LVOC are extremely diverse and complex, they are typically composed of a combination of simpler activities and equipment that are based on similar scientific and engineering principles. Chapter 2 describes how unit processes, unit operations, site infrastructure, energy control and management systems are combined and modified to create a production sequence for the desired LVOC product. Most LVOC processes can be described in terms of five distinct steps, namely: raw material supply / work-up, synthesis, product separation / refining, product handling / storage, and emission abatement
