Design of water scrubber tower for MTBE plant
Thread Content
Dear seniors: Whose MTBE unit has a water wash tower?
Should the raw material be washed? Is it the alkaline solution and amine solution used in carbon tetraoxide washing? ?
Should it be washed again after MTBE treatment? In other words, washing the C4 fraction after etherification
That’s not called a water washing tower; it’s called an extraction tower! It is the separation of unreacted methanol liquefied gas; the compatibility between methanol and water is much greater than that between methanol and liquefied gas!
What was said on the 4th floor is correct; in order to prevent an excessive amount of methanol from reaching subsequent processing stages, methanol washing units and methanol recovery towers are designed. An excess of methanol can cause the butylene isomerization catalyst to become inactive, as well as increase the consumption of alkylating acids.
The wash tower removes the heavy metal ions and alkaline substances from raw material C4 through washing
The raw material washing tower is used to wash away the heavy metal ions and alkaline substances present in the raw materials
It involves the washing of mixed C4 feedstock; our company does not have a washing system.
