Methanol to propylene process using moving bed technology and its engineering study
A novel moving bed process for methanol to propylene (MMTP)
and conducts engineering analysis for this process were presented. Firstly
according to the principle that the reactor must be matched with reaction catalyst deactivation
the most matching reactor for ZSM-5 catalysts (with mid-level deactivation) is moving bed. Moreover
the MMTP process can not only exert higher propylene selectivity of the catalyst
but also can utilize medium particle circulation rate for reaction and regeneration to serialize and stabilize high yield of propylene process. Secondly
regarding the strong exothermal characteristics of the MMTP reaction
two kinds of processes
fluidized bed one-step operation and fixed bed two-step operation
are compared. Based on the comparison results
it is concluded that the two-step operation of MMTP process can allocate reasonable reaction heat and control product distribution with flexibility. Finally
through integration of heat-exchange network optimization and alcohol-oil refining process
MMTP process owns high propylene yield on the basis of water and energy saving. On the basis of current MMTP process
10000 t·a-1 propylene technology package design has been completed. In summary
MMTP owns visible competitive advantages both on technique and economics
