What causes a sudden increase in pressure in the crude methanol flash tank? Answer: 1) The liquid level in the methanol separator is too low, and the opening of the discharge valve is too large; this may allow high-pressure gas from the methanol synthesis system to leak into the low-pressure system. 2) Methanol cannot be sent to the distillation system; the liquid level in the crude methanol flash tank is too high, resulting in insufficient buffer space for methanol. 3) There is a fault with the vent valve or vent line of the crude methanol flash tank, preventing the flashed gas from escaping and causing pressure buildup. The amount of light components produced increases in the synthesis reaction.
