RECONSTRUCTION OF ENERGY-CHEMICAL PROCESSES
KOMUNALNA ENERGETIKA / POWER ENGINERING, 22
Low efficiency, negative impacts on the environment and non-profitable operation is the main shortcomings of outdated energy-chemical plants. In order to ensure flexible production and optimum operation, it is not enough just to look for savings in utility costs (UC), but it also makes sense to adapt processes. The reconstruction direction would be effective with the sustainable development and interesting market chemical products. Promising alternative fuel is also dimethyl-ether (DME). The examined study of this paper focuses on the development of the reconstruction technique for update irrational process systems or complete plants. Reconstruction method can be implemented in the case study of the existing MeOH plant. This is unprofitable and consequently not operating. The conceptual model developed in the direction of new-product production, is a good tool for reconstruction of energy-chemical processes. The objectives of the set method are: i.) Maintain the existing process units and chemical processes to a greater extent, ii.) Enable the potential for finding new process alternatives and technology solutions, iii.) Provide a streamlined operation of all subsystems and systems, and iv.) Promote environmental and social acceptability. In the paper they were validated lower operating costs one-step, compared with the two-step synthesis of DME from NG.
