I’m very curious too; I hope someone with knowledge can offer some guidance. Everyone can learn from it, thank you!

Once the production quota M is determined, as well as the process parameters and the catalyst, it becomes possible to roughly estimate the yield A, which in turn determines the amount of catalyst required, V. Once the tower shape is determined, the catalyst packing coefficient T is also fixed; the tower height H is generally set between 6 and 7.5 meters. This allows for an estimation of the radius R; the approximate formula is V=3.14*R*R*H*T, and M=V*A, which can be used to roughly estimate the dimensions of the axial tower. For shell-and-tube methanol synthesis towers, T ranges from 0.33 to 0.365, while H is generally 6 ; The operating pressure is around 5 MP; the catalysts used are domestic types XNC-98 or NC-309. The feed gas is natural gas converted into synthesis gas, with an space velocity of 8000 h-1, and the value of A ranges from 0.53 to 0.58. A higher pressure or gasification for gas production yields a greater yield. The size of the tower can be roughly determined.

My elder brother, can we have a private chat? Can we talk more about this?
