Is it feasible to use a space furnace for the production of butyl octanol?
Thread Content
As the title suggests, we want to produce butyl octanol. We want to introduce new synthesis gas production; the space furnace seems like a good option, but it isn’t used for producing butyl octanol. Therefore, I would like to ask experts about the feasibility of using such a furnace as well as the associated investment costs. The required gas volume is 25,000 Nm3 per hour.
When choosing a furnace, you first need to consider the quality of your coal. Additionally, the current maximum processing capacity of the space furnace is only 660; I’m not sure if I’m remembering that correctly
Whether the space furnace can be used depends crucially on the composition of the syngas – in your case, it’s the syngas produced from coal!
It can be used, but you’re using too low a gas flow rate; even the smallest furnaces in space heating systems require a gas flow rate of 40,000 cubic feet per hour
