Thread Content
Weekly topic for the methanol section: We hope that all members will actively participate, share their valuable opinions, and speak up enthusiastically. The purpose of this activity is to leverage the strengths of everyone involved, thereby improving knowledge levels throughout the answering process, expanding everyone’s understanding, helping those who have forgotten to recall what they know, and fostering further discussion on controversial topics – so that we can all make progress together. We look forward to active participation from everyone. Methanol Weekly Topic: How does the catalyst bed temperature change when the methanol circulation rate is reduced? What is the most economical flow rate? Is the circulation rate of methanation zero? 2015.06.22--06.29
This involves the point of convergence of three types of losses: energy, material, and kinetic energy. The methanation cycle rate cannot be zero; the reaction heat is too high for the reactor to handle it:handshake
The bed temperature will rise, as less heat is carried away.
