How should the energy consumption of low-temperature methanol washing be specified?
Thread Content
Hello everyone, I would like to understand how the energy consumption required for a low-temperature methanol wash process is determined Is it the power consumption of the cooling unit plus the power consumption of the air circulation compressor, and so on?
The energy consumption of low-temperature methanol washing includes electricity consumption and steam consumption: the electricity consumption is mainly related to the mechanical equipment in the methanol washing unit as well as the electricity needed to provide cooling； Steam consumption includes the steam used in the heat regeneration tower and the methanol-water separation tower. If the chiller that provides cooling is steam-driven, then make some adjustments!
The main common consumptions in low-temperature applications include: cooling load, medium and low-pressure steam, power consumption of pumps and compressors, cooling water, low-pressure nitrogen, deionized water, and alcohol loss.
