Techno-Economic Analysis of Large Scale Production of Poly(oxymethylene) Dimethyl Ether Fuels from Methanol in Water-Tolerant Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Poly(oxymethylene) dimethyl ether (OME) are a much-discussed and promising synthetic renewable fuel for reducing soot and, if produced as e-fuel, CO2 emissions. OME production is generally based on the platform chemical methanol an intermediate. Thus, cost strongly dependent cost. This work investigates from methanol. Seven routes providing methanolic formaldehyde solutions conceptually designed first time simulated in process simulator. They coupled with state-of-the-art synthesis to evaluate economics of overall chain OME. For plant size 100 kt/a, average levelized product 79.08 EUR/t plus 1.31 times EUR/t.

CFD Simulation of Dimethyl Ether Synthesis from Methanol in an Adiabatic Fixed-bed Reactor
A computational fluid dynamic (CFD) study of methanol (MeOH) to dimethyl ether (DME) process in an adiabatic fixed-bed reactor is presented. One of the methods of industrial DME production is the catalytic dehydration of MeOH. Kinetic model was derived based on Bercic rate. The parameters of this equation for a specific catalyst were tuned by solving a one-dimensional homogenous model using MAT...

A techno-economic evaluation of bioenergy production from macroalgae was carried out in this study. Six different scenarios were examined for the production of different energy products and by-products. Seaweed was produced either via the longline method or the grid method. Final products of these scenarios were either ethanol from fermentation, or electricity from anaerobic digestion (AD). By-...
متن کاملLow-Temperature Oxidation of Dimethyl Ether to Polyoxymethylene Dimethyl Ethers over CNT-Supported Rhenium Catalyst
Due to its excellent conductivity, good thermal stability and large specific surface area, carbon nano-tubes (CNTs) were selected as support to prepare a Re-based catalyst for dimethyl ether (DME) direct oxidation to polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers (DMMx). The catalyst performance was tested in a continuous flow type fixed-bed reactor. H3PW12O40 (PW12) was used to modify Re/CNTs to improve its...
