1200 TO 1400 TONS PER DAY METHANOL PLANT. RAW MATERIAL IS NATURAL GAS. CONSUMPTION, PRODUCTION, AND EFFICIENCY DATA IS BASED ON THE OPERATION OF THE PLANT IN EARLY 2001, WITH AND WITHOUT CO2 ADDITION, WITH OLDER CATALYST. WITHOUT CO2 WITH CO2 NATURAL GAS RATE TO PLANT & FUEL 60,000 NM3/HOUR 60,000 NM3/HOUR PROCESS STEAM RATE 114 TONS/HOUR 117 TONS/HOUR CO2 ADDITION NIL 10,000 NM3/HOUR REFINED MeOH (99.99%) 1,350 MTD 1550 MTD PURGE TO FUEL 35,030 NM3/HOUR 42,720 NM3/HOUR GAS EFFICIENCY 38 MBTU/TON 37 MBTU/TON PLANT CONSUMPTION WAS APPROXIMATELY 5.8 Mw, i.e. 112 KWH/TON MeOH. THE PLANT GENERATED ALL THE STEAM REQUIRED FOR REFORMING, TURBINES, REFINING, ETC. THIS REQUIRES APPROXIMATELY 160 TONS/HOUR OF DEMINERALIZED MAKE UP WATER TO BE SUPPLIED, i.e. APPROXIMATELY 3.1 TON/TON MeOH.
