Increase in synthetic outlet temperature
Thread Content
Dear sea friends, what was the highest temperature reached at the outlet of your Luchi modular synthesis tower at the end? What was the pressure in the steam drum at that time? Is there any room for temperature increase? What were the compositions of the gas entering and exiting the tower at that time?
Why isn’t anyone responding? It’s a very practical question! :'(
The outlet temperature is over 250 degrees; the pressure in the steam drum does not exceed 4 megapascals. If the temperature is raised further, the steam drum becomes less safe. The pressure setting for the safety valve is 4.2 megapascals
The exit temperature at the end of the process is around 260°C, with a drum pressure of 3.73 MPa. It is necessary to consider the temperature tolerance of the catalyst as well as the designed pressure of the drum in order to determine whether the temperature can be increased further! The composition of the gas entering the tower ensures a modulus of around 3.45; the composition at the outlet depends on the catalyst’s activity, with the methanol content being approximately 14%!
