What to consider
Overall material balance
Entering: Ammonia +EO+ water
Leaving: MEA is 99.5%(0.5% other?)
q,
q, System
NH3+C2H4O+H2O=C2H7NO+H2O
so
NH3+C2H4O=C2H7NO
Assume complete conversion of C2H4O.
Since NH3 is 10C2H40
3. Some ammonia will leave the system (unless a recycle stream is required)
NH3+C2H4O+H2O=C2H7NO+H2O+NH3
What to consider
50 tons of water leave the system with MEA
But how much water is coming in?
If we recycle NH3 what is the actual feed of NH3
Decisions:
Should we purge water or recycle?
Decide on operating conditions for all units
What needs to be cooled or heated?
Energy balance
Heat of formation (Hf)
Hrxn=products?viHf,i-reactants?viHf,i
HT=HT00+RT0TCp0RdT,Cp0R=4+B+CT2+DT-2
-Hrxn=npHproductso+np25TCpdT-nrHreactantso
H=Hout-Hin=q
Reaction equilibrium
Go( reaction)=??Go(products)-??Go
