Could a low amount of methanol sprayed cause blockages in E3025/3026?
Spraying methanol is used to prevent saturated water from freezing inside the tubes, which could otherwise cause blockages and damage to the equipment; therefore, it should be controlled according to the specified standards. Cannot be reduced
It probably won’t, because when water and methanol mix, it **lowers the freezing point of water**.
It’s hard to say for sure; generally, the amount of methanol used for spraying is fixed and does not change with variations in load. It depends only on the inlet temperature of the low-temperature methanol wash unit. Typically, the inlet temperature of this unit is below 40°, and if it exceeds this temperature, the amount of methanol sprayed can be increased slightly to prevent blockages
Agree with what was said above; generally, it is injected according to the designed flow rate.
