Calculation of the water-to-carbon ratio in the pure oxygen catalytic partial oxidation process
Thread Content
In the pure oxygen catalytic partial oxidation process, some steam is added to the feed gas, and some steam is also added to the oxygen. How is the volumetric flow rate of water vapor calculated? Please, fellow sailors, tell me!
For a pure oxygen converter designed by the Second Chemical Engineering Institute, the water-carbon ratio is obtained by adding up the total amount of water vapor entering the furnace and dividing it by the total carbon content in the coke oven gas; the volumetric flow rate is then obtained by multiplying the mass flow rate of water vapor by 1.24.
The ratio of the amount of water vapor to the amount of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon feedstock.
