How to analyze the separation efficiency of a methanol separator?
An appropriately low temperature is necessary; the liquid level must be controlled properly, neither too high nor too low. An efficient separation method should be used (such as blade or membrane-based separation), and old methods like gravity-based plus screen separation should be avoided. Additional measures such as top spray washing and separation techniques should also be employed
Choose efficient separator internals, blade-type separation elements, and maintain proper liquid level control
Behind our unit’s high-pressure separator, there is a line leading to the dehydrogenation recovery washing equipment. The amount of methanol carried in the gas should correspond to the saturated vapor pressure of methanol at that temperature; if there is a significant difference, it may indicate that the separation efficiency has declined.
What is an appropriate level for the separator liquid level?
