Issues with coal-based methanol production – experts, please advise
Thread Content
How much gas, water, electricity, and oxygen are required to produce 1 ton of raw coal and coal-based methanol? Please give some advice
The original poster is being too vague – coal quality analysis? Gasification method? Many factors constrain the consumption of water, electricity, oxygen, etc
We use coal-water slurry gasification; we consume 1,800 tons of coal per day to produce 1,000 tons of methanol. In summer, we use 7,500 cubic meters of water, and 300,000 kWh of electricity – though if the load due to excess steam generation is high, it can sometimes be as low as 100,000 kWh
Oxygen can be calculated based on the oxygen-coal ratio; approximately 2,000 cubic meters of coal slurry are needed per day
The question is quite general; there are similar questions in this section, so the original poster can simply search for them! Because the differences in not hitting lead to big variations!
