What size tower is needed to distill 10 tons of methanol from 50 degrees to 95 degrees per hour?
More information is needed to determine the size of the tower required. The size of a methanol distillation tower depends on many factors, including temperature, pressure, the required purity of the alcohol, and processing capacity. In the information you provided, only the temperature changes during the distillation process and the processing capacity are given. But we still need to know the pressure, the purity requirements for the alcohol, and other possible process parameters. Only this information can be used to calculate the size of the tower required. Therefore, to answer your question, more detailed information is needed. .
For single-column distillation, a packed column with ∅1200 can be used, or a tray column with ∅1300. To save steam, use double-column differential pressure distillation.
