Process design for annual production of 100,000 tons of fuel ethanol (molecular sieve adsorption method)
Thread Content
The division of labor mainly includes: process flow design, and mass and heat balance calculations； Equipment selection and design, general layout planning and workshop layout design, Aspen simulation calculations, pipeline layout design. The teacher only provides a topic and requirements; no relevant materials are given, so it’s unclear where to start. I’m looking for information on this subject. Thank you
I also searched on Baidu, but there are few products made using the molecular sieve adsorption method
Aren’t molecular sieves used for dehydration? Converting 95% ethanol to anhydrous ethanol can be achieved through either a triple azeotrope process or molecular sieve dehydration. The former uses an azeotrope agent that is highly toxic, while the latter has become the more common method. The costs of these two approaches are similar; however, the initial investment for molecular sieve systems is higher, although the operating costs remain equivalent.
That’s a pretty broad range – does it mean designing for fermentation, distillation, and dehydration as well? Just design for dehydration?
Hello, have you finished it yet? May I ask you a question?
