How can the production of pure methanol be roughly estimated?
Thread Content
I would like to ask whether the hourly production volume of pure methanol can be roughly estimated based on the hourly steam output or the hourly water supply to the steam drum ? Why?
It can be estimated based on the amount of steam generated by the drum; generally, about 1.1 tons of steam are produced for every ton of crude methanol. You can use this figure as a rough estimate
I’ve learned about this; can it be determined by the water supply volume?
Reply to 2# duan*aochui: It depends on the type of synthesis tower; some have a high conversion rate, and more than 1.1 tons of steam are produced per ton of methanol. Make a judgment based on your own situation; the impact of the circulation ratio is significant, and it can generally be determined by checking the water supply. Just add the amount of waste discharged.
Haven’t heard of this yet. I don’t know either; I’m looking forward to seeing experts
Reply to 4# Shouhou: How can it be determined through upstream water flow? Is the water input roughly equal to the output? Adding waste discharge means adding it to the gas production volume, right? ?
This question is a bit difficult for me as a beginner... Hehe!
