I would like to ask fellow experts: for the methanol synthesis processes of Lurgi in Germany with a capacity of 1.8 million tons and Davy in the UK with the same capacity, what is the total cost, including technical patent fees, process package costs, and equipment costs? How much does it cost for each of them approximately? Both of these have a significant number of users in China, but do any of you know about them? Additionally, the Mitsubishi Gas SPC super synthesis tower in Japan has a capacity of 850,000 tons per unit (it seems that the maximum annual production capacity is 850,000 tons; if this is incorrect, please let me know). It doesn’t seem that there are any actual users of this technology in China, and it’s likely that no one knows how much it costs Thank you. Finally, I wish the Haichuan Forum and all its members prosperity and further growth in the Year of the Monkey!
In China, 180 models generally use a radial series-parallel configuration; the Dolunning coal plants used a Ruchi water-cooled series-air-cooled design in the past, with a synthesis pressure of 8.5 megapascals. I’m not in the engineering field, so I’m not very familiar with these costs. In my opinion, using two Casari towers connected in parallel at 5-6 megapascals might be the best option, even though there have been reports of leaks in the Casari towers. Overall, in terms of conversion rate as well as the heat and cooling energy consumption per unit of alcohol produced, it should be superior to other options.
Great post; I hope those who are interested will participate actively
