Steam consumption in methanol synthesis
Thread Content
What is the steam consumption per ton of methanol in a 150kt/a methanol plant? Let’s discuss it together!
The steam consumption per ton of alcohol in our plant is between 1.8 and 2.0 – is this normal? ?
Whether it’s a monolcohol or a dialcohol, our output of monohydric alcohols is 1.9–2.0 tons.
Our new project uses a three-effect plus two-effect process; according to the available data, the consumption is 0.78 t/t, but I estimate it will be higher during actual production. Friends on the 2nd floor, why is your energy consumption so high? Have you done a detailed calculation? ? Our existing units are above 0.85t/t. This is also related to the level of monitoring; even if energy consumption is slightly higher, you won’t notice it!
Our company’s monol alcohol plant has a capacity of 150 kt/a, and since its successful commissioning, its steam consumption has been between 1.8 and 2.0! Is such a scale corresponding to such steam consumption normal? Please give me some advice! !
