For methanol production from coke oven gas, what is an appropriate value for the water-to-gas ratio? Also, if we’re calculating the water-carbon ratio, how is the total carbon amount determined? Is there a specific and detailed formula for that?
The water-to-carbon ratio is the ratio of the number of water molecules to the number of carbon atoms in the feed gas.
The type of reaction you are undergoing determines the water vapor ratio that needs to be adjusted accordingly. You don’t have a specific reaction, so it’s hard to say. One
In our factory, the water-to-carbon ratio in methanol production using coke oven gas is generally maintained at 65%–70%
The water vapor ratio is theoretically more appropriate at 0.5~0.7. The theoretical value of the water-to-carbon ratio is 3.
How is the total atomic weight of carbon in coke oven gas calculated? Is there a formula?
Reply to 6# pdslht: Analyze the CO and CO2 contents (in volume ratio) in the data; based on that, it can be calculated.
Does methane count? Hydrocarbons?
