Issues regarding the control of evaporation rate and component content
Thread Content
Currently, there is a simple distillation process for methanol in the unit. To increase processing capacity due to expansion needs, more space is required. The idea is to reduce the evaporation time by increasing the amount of evaporation. The material consists of salt, water, and methanol. However, the workshop managers say that the steam supply is not at full capacity yet; but if the steam flow is increased, the evaporation rate goes up, and as a result, the amount of water in the distillate (which contains methanol and water) also increases. It becomes impossible to achieve a 95% purity level, and the residual saltwater in the reactor will precipitate out. Is there any way to increase the evaporation rate without allowing water to be vaporized?
What kind of device is this? Reactor? Still a distillation tower
To ensure control of the distillate obtained from the tower top, it is necessary to have a pressure difference in the tower, to implement reflux at the tower top, and to control the temperature there as well. The salt content in the residue at the bottom of the tower can be treated in advance by using methods such as reverse osmosis membranes
