What about using an Endler furnace + high-pressure synthesis for 200,000 tons of coal-to-methanol production?
Thread Content
I am considering launching a 200,000-ton coal-to-methanol project. It seems that the conventional approach involving coal slurry gasification, low-temperature sulfur-tolerant shift reaction, low-temperature methanol washing, low-pressure synthesis, and three-column distillation requires a significant amount of investment. Since the product will be used internally by our own company and not sold on the market, this factor is less relevant in our case. Thinking of using the End furnace to follow the original high-pressure synthesis route would save on investment. Would everyone like to share their opinions? Is it feasible! !
An endothermic reactor, a fluidized bed, or a fixed-bed reactor can all be used; PDS or 888 for desulfurization, MEA or PSA for carbon removal, screw and centrifugal compression, synthesis at 5.5 MPa, and a split-column or double-effect distillation system.
Anode furnaces will suffice; the subsequent system process is as follows: atmospheric desulfurization + centrifugal compressor + pressurized low-temperature shift reaction + desulfurization of the shifted gas + pressure swing adsorption for carbon removal + final desulfurization at normal temperature + centrifugal compression + methanol synthesis + three-column distillation.
