Concentration of methanol from fine chemical wastewater

Concentration of methanol from fine chemical wastewater

Concentration of methanol from fine chemical wastewater

● Industry: Fine Chemicals (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients)

● The feed solution contains 20% methanol and needs to be recovered.

● Evaporation medium: Methanol

Runner-up Plan: MVR-500

● Distillation column (stripping section), falling-film reboiler, three-stage compressor.

● Total equipment height: 6 m. Processing capacity: 1,500 kg/h; ethanol recovery rate: 500 kg.

● After MVR evaporation, the methanol content in the overhead distillate is greater than 60%, and the methanol content in the bottom residue is less than 0.5%.

Operating energy consumption

● The MVR operation consumes 54 kW of electricity, while the circulating pump and other pumps consume 6 kW.

● Steam consumption: 10 kg/h
