Reactor Material Balance Assumptions: 100% separation of all feed gases (CO, H2, CO2) and products (CH3OH, H2O) Purge Concentrations are controllable for now No Nitrogen or Water in feed syngas Other side reactions ignored Pressure effects on Cp
Hand Calculations Reactor Reaction 1: CO +H2 ↔ CH3OH ΔHrxn = -38559 Btu/lbmol Reaction 2: CO2 +3H2 ↔ CH3OH + H20 ΔHrxn = -21324.1 Btu/lbmol Reaction 1 Conv = 0.5 Reaction 2 Conv = .04 Material Balance: COout = COfeed + COrec– .5(COfeed + COrec)– COpurge CO2out = (CO2 feed + CO2rec) – 0.04 (CO2 feed + CO2rec) – CO2 purge CH3OHout = .5(COout + COfeed) + .04(CO2out + CO2 feed) Energy Balance Enthalpy in (BTU) : H = Δ Href + ∫Cpdt for each component Where Cp was used for gases: Cp = A + BT + CT2 +DT3 Enthalpy of reaction = .5(ΔHrxn1)COin + .04(ΔHrxn2)CO2in
Distillation Column Material Balance Assumptions 7669.62 lb-Moles/Hr of Methanol/H20 in feed Feed composition 97.6% Methanol, 2.4% H20 Feed Pressure is 14.7psia 99.5% Methanol in Distillate
