Book excerpt: The tight propylene market contributed to the rising of new and novel lower-cost chemical processes for on-purpose propylene production technologies. Methanol-to-propylene (MTP) technology is one of the promising processes that arises to fullfil this need. This report analyzes a MTP process similar to the ones developed by Lurgi MTP(r) and JGC/Mitsubishi DTP(r). It is presented a detailed technical and economic evaluation of a unit located in the US Gulf Coast. Also, the evaluation is conducted for a plant constructed in Germany and China. While China presented the most attractive return of investment, the advent of shale gas in the USA, and the consequent low-price natural gas availability, make of the country a promising alternative for this technology.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Propylene is an important material chemical intermediary because it can be utilized in numerous applications like the electricity and many other, but the main application of propylene is to make it as polypropylene. There are many processes that produce propylene, but the propylene production is connected with methanol by Lurgi's MTP that involves the dehydration operations. The LURGI MTP technology produce more amount of propylene than the other processes. The objective of this capstone project is to produce 80, 000 tons per year of propylene from methanol. Moreover, nowadays, there are many processes that have been develops and improved to produce the propylene the recent one is for dehydration the methanol because it gives the high production conversion of propylene (yield) which is equals to 45.44% with applying some of zeolite catalysts to achieve this process. The process flow diagram was designed and detailed by using available literature and performing the material and energy balance for the entire process. The first step was to star this project was to analyze the required amount of methanol for the process was equals to be 1124269.182 kg/days or 1462.06 kmol/hr. In addition, the design section calculations were detailed for several units and the main equipment of the process that includes which are pump, Shell & tube Heat Exchanger, BPR reactor, multicomponent distillation column and compressor. The design involved many calculations for example diameter, height, area, and volume, also the required weight of the catalyst for the DME reactor. In addition, the analysis of economics was assembled which the plants results originate to be profitable and having a payback period, and the plant was found to be with a payback period of 1.71 years. Finally, the environmental impacts and ethical issues was discussed. Also, for the HAZOP was done and explained for all the equipment and units that designed.

This book was released on 2020-07-06 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project Report from the year 2016 in the subject Chemistry - Other, , language: English, abstract: This is a part two of the Advance Process design project. Part one was a group project in which we carried out a feasibility study of Methanol to Olefin (MTO) plant. The plant is an extension of an existing Coal-chemical complex in China, which produces 1,000,000 tonnes of methanol from coal each year. In order to become more competitive in the market, we studied alternative routes of MTO process and designed the most efficient, least pollutant and safest plant. The aim of this individual project is to cover a detailed design of the C2 splitter distillation column which is the final step in the MTO process where ethylene and ethane are separated. As ethylene is one of the most popular petrochemical product and the demand for the product is continuously increasing each year. Therefore, to meet the customers demand the column was designed with 99.4% purity. For the initial design calculation, the operating pressure of the column was chosen as 24bar. The diameter of the column was calculated to be around 1.66m for the stripping section, which was suitable for the sieve plate design. Using the AlChE method, the plate overall efficiency was obtained as 73%, which was in the range of the distillation column efficiencies, by using the plate efficiency the actual number of stages was obtained, 53 stages, with an overall height of the column as 35m. At 24bar the condenser duty of the column was calculated to be 2.66MW and reboiler duty 2.43MW. The design optimisation shows that as the pressure of the column increases, the capital cost of the column also increases due to the increase in a number of actual stages and the reflux ratio, mean taller and thicker column wall, will be required to meet the right specification and to handle the high pressure of the column. But, with the increasing pressure, the energy cost of the column decreases, as less energy will be required to condense the overhead vapour. The capital cost of the column outweighs the energy cost of the column. Therefore, the column total cost increases with the increase in column pressure. The optimum pressure, for the C2 splitter column, was chosen as 10bar. The reason being, low reflux ratio and less number of stages will be required, meaning the less capital cost of the column.
