This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of large-scale Methanol production from natural gas. The process examined employs combined reforming for syngas generation similarly to the technologies developed by the following companies: Lurgi, Toyo, KBR, Johnson Matthey/Davy and Haldor-Topsoe. In this process, natural gas is converted into syngas in two steps: steam reforming and autothermal reforming. In the steam reformer, the natural gas reacts with steam and, in the secondary (autothermal) reformer, it reacts with oxygen. The syngas generated is then converted to Methanol.

Download or read book How to Produce Methanol from Coal written by Emil Supp and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Owing to efforts and legislative action - initiated above all by the government of the United States - to use cleaner fuels and thus make a contribution towards a better environment, public attention is back again on using methanol in carbu rettor and diesel engines. Most prominent among the raw materials from which methanol can be produced is coal, whose deposits and resources are many times larger than those of liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons. This book deals with the production of methanol from coal. It describes both the individual steps that are required for this process and the essential ancillary units and offsites associated with the process itself . . It is not meant to inform the reader about the intricate details of the processes, which can much better be taken from the specialized literature that deals exclusively and in detail with them or from the well-known standard engineering books. Rather, this book is to give the reader an impression how manifold a field this is, how many process variations and combinations the designer of such plants has to consider in order to arrive at an optimum design in each particular case. Apart from the production of chemical-grade methanol, the book deals briefly also with fuel methanol production, i. e. with the production of alcohol mixes. One of the many possible routes from coal to methanol is illustrated by a process flow diagram, and a material and energy balance is compiled for this typical example.
Download or read book Simulation and Techno Economic Analysis of the AChT Green Methanol Process written by Sean McCaul and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Methanol is a valuable commodity with many uses. It is used to manufacture other chemicals such as olefins, formaldehyde, and methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE). Methanol is also being researched as an alternative fuel for vehicles. Global methanol demand is increasing, making it a valuable chemical to manufacture. Methanol production requires three main steps: syngas production, methanol production, and methanol purification. Syngas is a mix of carbon monoxide and hydrogen that can be made through the reforming of natural gas. The production of syngas is done through many methods. Three primary methods are steam methane reforming (SMR), partial oxidation (POX), and autothermal reforming (ATR). Once syngas is produced, it is sent to a methanol reactor where three main reactions occur: the hydrogenation of CO, the hydrogenation of CO2, and the water-gas shift reaction. A product stream with methanol is then purified in using distillation. The company Technology Convergence Inc. (TCI) made a process for manufacturing methanol in 2004 called the Green Methanol Process. This process involved the use of a POX reformer and an electrolyser to provide the required hydrogen and oxygen. TCI is now known as Advanced Chemical Technologies (AChT), and they have since updated their Green Methanol Process. The new process still uses an electrolyser to generate hydrogen and oxygen, but now uses an ATR for syngas production. Aspen Plus was used in this work to simulate the updated AChT process. Heat integration was successfully implemented into the simulation. Additionally, the syngas production method was changed over from POX to ATR. An initial analysis of the amine reboiler of a CO2 capture unit was done. Finally, it was discovered that the waste stream contained a large amount of hydrogen. To remedy this, a method of hydrogen purification was studied called pressure swing adsorption (PSA). A version of the methanol process simulation was done with the PSA hydrogen recycle system added. An economic analysis looked into the OPEX and CAPEX of the process with and without PSA hydrogen recycling. Without hydrogen recycling, the CAPEX and OPEX were found to be $248 CAD/metric tonne (MT) methanol and $300 CAD/MT methanol, respectively, while producing 217 MTPD (metric tonne per day) of methanol. This resulted in a combined overall cost of $548 CAD/MT methanol produced. With hydrogen recycling, the CAPEX and OPEX were found to be $223 CAD/MT methanol and $280 CAD/MT methanol respectively, while producing 249 MTPD of methanol. This resulted in a combined cost of $503 CAD/MT methanol. Overall, it was found that the implementation of a PSA hydrogen recycle system was a good investment. Additionally, hourly Ontario electricity price (HOEP) data from 2018 were used to determine on average the most expensive consecutive 11-day period. Since the plant was planned to be shut down for 11 days for maintenance, this would inform when the best time to shut down would be to save the most on electricity. The best day to start the maintenance was found to be January 5th. The next most expensive periods started on December 4th and April 9th.

This book was released on 2013-06-10 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing awareness of the environmental issues forces a strong drive towards the development of new, sustainable processes for renewable energy production. Likewise, the economic issues related to the increasing prices of crude oil, and its derivatives lead to the recognition of advantages of alternative fuels, thus a significant interest in biomass-derived, synthetic fuels is observed. Among various thermo-chemical conversion processes, biomass gasification is one of the most effective, efficient and sustainable solutions to the production of renewable energy. It provides a gaseous fuel, composed mainly of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, suitable to produce chemicals, heat, and energy. In particular, syngas can be used to obtain methanol (MeOH) and dimethyl ether (DME), both energy carriers of great interest for many advanced energy applications. The herein presented work provides the reader with a comparison of the technicalities as well as economics of methanol and DME production from biomass-derived syngas, by different pathways. For that purpose a process simulation by means of the ChemCAD® commercial code was used. The developed simulation strategies include both, optimization of the kinetic models and unique solution of fuel refinement.
