What causes a sudden sharp increase in pressure in the methanol expansion tank? How should it be dealt with? (1) The liquid level in the separator is low; the discharge valve is open too wide – reduce the setting of the automatic control valve. (2) If the automatic shutdown of the methanol expansion tank drainage fails, the bypass should be used. Also, coordinate with instrument maintenance for self-adjustment. (3) The inlet valve of the crude methanol tank in the distillation process was closed, causing the liquid level in the expansion tank to rise significantly; due to the limited buffer space, pressure increased sharply. The tank valve and the expansion tank vent valve should be opened immediately to bring the pressure back to normal.

(1) The separator level is low, and the discharge valve is opened too wide. Close the automatic control valve. (2) If the automatic shutdown of the methanol expansion tank drainage fails, it should be routed through a bypass. Also, coordinate with instrument maintenance for self-adjustment. (3) The inlet valve of the crude methanol tank in the distillation process was closed, causing the liquid level in the expansion tank to rise significantly; due to the limited buffer space, pressure increased sharply. The tank valve and the expansion tank vent valve should be opened immediately to bring the pressure back to normal.
