A high-efficiency methanol separator has been successfully developed
Thread Content
A highly efficient methanol separator has been developed. Shanxi Yongji Zhongnong Chemical Co., Ltd. has applied for the first time the patented technology \"Composite High-Efficiency Foam Trap\" developed by Beijing Boxue Huitong Technology Co., Ltd., to the methanol production process. This has **improved the efficiency of separating crude methanol, and completely resolved issues such as liquid carryover in the methanol circulation pump, high electricity consumption in the synthesis system, and oil-water contamination in the methanol oil-water separator. Recently, this technological achievement passed the appraisal organized by the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association. Experts believe that this technology is innovative and represents an advanced level among similar products worldwide. The composite high-efficiency methanol separator features large processing capacity, low resistance, and high separation efficiency, and it achieves significant results in energy savings, consumption reduction, and environmental pollution mitigation. This technology can be widely applied to desulfurization and decarburization in the gas-liquid separation processes of ammonia and methanol production, as well as in the purification processes; to gas-liquid separation after carbon absorption towers; to gas-water separation, ammonia separation, and methanol separation after saturated hot water towers; to oil-water separation at the outlet of compressors (circulators) equipped with oil lubrication; and to mist separation in the absorption towers used in low-temperature methanol washing, carbon dioxide regeneration towers, and hydrogen sulfide concentration towers. China currently has over 300 methanol production units and more than 1,500 methanol separators; if two-thirds of these methanol production enterprises were to adopt this technology, 1 billion kWh per year could be saved in electricity consumption.
What a great invention – it helps save energy and reduce consumption, which is in line with China’s current development strategy; it should be strongly supported!
The actual practical effects still need further verification. Looking forward to it!
If I’m not mistaken, the news comes from the Chemical Industry Newspaper or the Nitrogen Fertilizers and Methanol Industry. In fact, high-efficiency separators were introduced for use as early as 1997, and since 2003 their effectiveness has been recognized by technicians and production staff in the chemical industry; they are widely used in ammonia synthesis systems, as well as in methanol, dimethyl ether, natural gas, and petroleum systems. As far as I know, the high-efficiency separators developed and manufactured in Xi’an, Shaanxi, offer excellent performance and utilize advanced technology. For example: high-efficiency ammonia separation in the ammonia synthesis system, oil content in fresh gas and recycled gas, oil content in shift gas, etc ； Gas-liquid separation of the decarboxylation liquid in the decarboxylation section, etc.; alcohol and oil components in the methanol synthesis system; efficient water washing of methanol (allowing the alcohol content to be reduced to 0.05%) ； Gas-liquid separation of dimethyl ether ； Recovery and purification of condensate oil in well gas during natural gas extraction, as well as purification of gas used in generator sets ； It is also used in other chemical industries, such as the liquid-liquid separation of vinyl chloride in the polyvinyl chloride industry, and the recovery of dimethyl sulfide. It seems that Xi’an is not only an ancient city with a rich cultural heritage, but its high-tech industry is also developing rapidly; I need to go and see it sometime.
Are you really hungry? Could you introduce your technology?
Send a picture so we can see the principle
Yeah, send a schematic diagram to take a look
It is recommended not to post too many such posts; it would be better for the poster to share more technical materials or discussions. This post was last edited by bluetop on 2008-1-31 at 17:01.]
