Methanol Plant Revamping with Expansion to 3100 tpd
Methanol Plant Revamping with Expansion to 3100 tpd
Such revamping efforts may include the following engineering arrangements, but not limited to:
- Replacement of reaction tubes with larger inner diameter items and increase in the amount of catalyst loaded.
- Replacement of burners with new more productive items with low NOx emission and improved design.
- Replacement of feed water preheaters with new items having a greater heat exchanging surface.
- Installation of additional vessels in parallel to the existing demineralized water preheaters.
- Construction of a new continuous-flow methanol synthesis package in addition to the existing synthesis section without increasing total gas recycling.
- Use of MP steam produced in the continuous-flow methanol synthesis package in tubular furnaces of the natural gas steam conversion process.
- Replacement of methanol recondensing unit with a new item of greater heat exchanging surface.
- Revamping of air coolers.
