Regarding the calculation of design unit consumption
Thread Content
For a natural gas cracking methanol production plant, the specific consumption rate was 2580 according to the preliminary design. Recently, due to the effects of the raw natural gas, the plant operates at load levels of 50%, 75%, and 25%. How should the specific consumption rate be calculated for these different load levels? I hope the more experienced experts can give me some advice!
What unit is 2580? Specific energy consumption is total energy consumption divided by the amount of material processed or the volume of products produced. The total energy consumption varies depending on the load, and so does the amount of material processed or the volume of products produced; by dividing these values, we can obtain the specific energy consumption. Generally speaking, the lower the load, the higher the energy consumption
Unit consumption refers to the amount of raw materials required to produce one unit of qualified product; one unit can be one ton or one cubic meter – you can do the calculation yourself.
