What is the maximum production capacity of a single set of methanol distillation units currently built at home and abroad? Two towers, three towers or four towers? At present, the scale of methanol synthesis continues to expand. Is there any new progress in the distillation process? If you want to know more, please speak up and introduce some of the following situations in your factory.

The three-tower distillation used in our factory is designed to be 100,000 tons/year, and the maximum production capacity is 130,000-150,000 tons/year.

Our factory uses three-tower distillation of 250,000 tons per year. This shouldn't be big

I heard that the largest one in China currently is a three-tower process with a single set of 300,000 tons. Is there anything larger than this? Is the domestic large-scale methanol production of more than 300,000 tons a single set or multiple sets? What is the diameter of the tower? Plate tower or packed tower? Last time I saw it mentioned in a magazine that CNOOC Kingboard’s 600,000-tonne plant uses twin-tower distillation. Does anyone know the specifics?

Three hundred thousand tons is also called the largest. I heard that Shanghai Coking has a 450,000-ton tower, which is like a 3+1 tower. It seems that there are several 600,000-ton towers under construction. Can they absorb so much? It’s time for the small ones to be eliminated, right?

CNOOC's methanol distillation unit adopts a two-tower process and uses a plate tower, with a single set of capacity of 600,000 tons.

CNOOC Jiantao's 600,000 tons/year unit has been successfully put into operation.

The two seafarers upstairs seem to know. Could you please give me more details? What are the diameters of the main tower and pre-tower in CNOOC Jiantao's 600,000 tons/year unit? What was their starting point for choosing the two towers? Aren’t three towers advocated on a large scale? Three towers are energy-saving, the product quality is good, and the diameter of the two product towers can be much smaller.

Yes, can the methanol from the two towers of such a large device pass the standard? Does it mean that there are very few impurities in the synthesis interval?

The 3+1 tower distillation of 600,000 tons is the most common among the rebuilt units at this stage. The diameters of the four towers are 2.5-4-5-1 meters respectively. Most of them are packed towers. If the crude alcohol quality is good, the production capacity can reach 800,000 tons per year.
