Production Of 100 Tons Day Dimethyl Ether

Abstract

Future energy demand especially in the Pacific & Asian regions is to be huge. Dimethyl ether will be a solution of secure energy supply and environmental conservation. Keeping these points in mind we urged to work & we are feeling great to present our work on “Production of Dimethyl Ether (DME) by catalytic Dehydration of Methanol” This report is divided in different sections. First of all the introduction of DME is given, which highlights its importance. Different manufacturing processes for DME are also described in chapter 2. Detailed description of “Production of DME by catalytic dehydration of methanol” is also presented in chapter 2. Afterwards material and energy balance is presented. In preceding chapters introduction to different equipments of plant along with their designing procedure and specification sheets are presented. Hazop study, Instrumentation & Control, Environmental Impacts and Cost Estimation for this plant are also included in this report.
