What are the problems existing in the operation of the Luchy low-temperature methanol washing process?
Thread Content
Dear forum members, what are the issues that arise with Luchi’s low-temperature methanol washing technology in actual operation? A paper discussed the problem of frequent leaks in Tower 5; what other common minor issues exist? Let’s share and discuss these matters together.
Potential problems in the LUCI low-temperature methanol washing process include: 1. Equipment corrosion: Due to the low temperature and the corrosive nature of methanol, equipment may experience leaks, especially in high-pressure areas. 2. Incomplete methanol recovery: Some methanol is lost during the washing process, so an efficient recovery system is necessary to reduce operating costs. 3. Freezing: Low temperatures can cause water to freeze, affecting the proper operation of the equipment. 4. Filtration issue: Solid impurities in methanol may clog the filter. 5. Problems with the control system: Low-temperature methanol washing requires precise control of temperature and pressure, and failures in the control system can lead to a decrease in process efficiency. 6. High energy consumption: Due to the need to maintain low temperatures, energy consumption is relatively high. 7. Environmental emissions: Methanol evaporation can lead to environmental pollution issues. Specific issues need to be analyzed and resolved based on the actual operating conditions. .
