Question: Please do the T - xy MEA - WATER solution table and the McCabe - Thiele diagram for the MEA distillation column The preliminary equipments
Please do the Txy MEAWATER solution table and the McCabeThiele diagram for the MEA distillation column
The preliminary equipments ate :
o The AmmoniaEthylene oxide reactor,
o Flash drum ammonia removal
o Compressor ammonia recycler
o MEAwater distillation column
o Feed pumps.
A new facility to produce Monoethanolamine MEA is being considered due to an
increase in demand. Therefore, you have been requested to design a plant to produce
metric tons per annum of MEA at purity The plant is to be located in
Richards Bay, South Africa. Ammonia feed is available at atm and deg C from an
adjacent plant. Ammonia is available as an aqueous solution of wt of ammonia
and wt water. Ethylene Oxide pure is available at atm and oC A
reaction temperature of oC is maintained in the reactor, and a pressure of
atmospheres is used to avoid the evaporation of ammonia. Under specified conditions
of reaction, only MEA is produced when the feed ratio of Ammonia Ethylene oxide is
The plant should operate for days in a year, in order to allow for shutdown and
maintenance.
