Methanol production calculation
Thread Content
How can the methanol production be simply calculated based on the syngas and recycle gas flow rates, composition, and CO conversion rate? Urgently needed
It can also be expressed in a reactive form; can’t it be calculated using material balance?
With volume, pressure, and temperature, it can be calculated
The amount of syngas minus the amount of recycled gas and off-gas, divided by the hydrogen-to-carbon ratio of the fresh gas, then divided by 700, gives the output in tons of methanol
Flow rate and composition can be used to calculate the carbon content before and after; one ton of methanol corresponds to 700 cubic meters of carbon
Could you explain it again? I still don’t quite understand it
One ton of methanol corresponds to 700 cubic meters of carbon – is this based on experience or something else? Is it the same for everything?
After methanol vaporization, the scalar value is 700 cubic meters; this can be calculated using the standard gas formula
