  1. Production of Gasoline Components from Synthesis Gas ChE 397 Senior Design Group Alpha Ayesha Rizvi Bernard Hsu Jeff Tyska Mohammad Shehadeh YacoubAwwad 2011.03.08

  2. Presentation Overview • Recap • PFD/flowsheet • Heat Duties • Sizing • Economics • Summary

  3. Recap H2

  4. Questions from last presentation • Will the Carbon steel be weakening at our high temperatures? • Should be fine, below max recommended T • Should we separate our Aromatics? • Numbers last time were unduly high, normal now • Don’t quote retail prices • Gasoline price quotes are spot prices from the EIA

  5. Process Changes • Fluidized bed Methanol to Gasoline reactor • Continuous regeneration • No DME reactor • Different product separation scheme • Different product distribution (closer to normal gasoline)

  6. Design Basis • 6000 Short tons syngas/day • 518 °F (270 °C) • 725 psi (5 Mpa) • Product • Gasoline – 16,300 bpd • LPG – 4350 bpd

  14. Overall Process

  15. Heat Duties • Heaters/coolers, HX, reactors, dist. col. • The rest are adiabatic • Light gas burning not included

  16. Detailed Heat Duties

  17. Sizing • Reactor sizing done by hand • Used LHSV/GHSV data • Other sizing done in ASPEN • Distillation Columns • 25-40 trays • 6.5 – 8.5 ft Diameter • 64 – 92 ft High • Heat Exchangers • 1,000 – 10,000 ft2

  18. Methanol Reactor Sizing Calculations • Boiling water reactor • Catalyst on tube side • 400 psia steam • Tube area fraction = .45 • GHSV = 8,000 hr-1 • 1:4 D:H ratio • D = 8.3 ft, H = 33.2 feet

  19. Process Economics • Detailed summary in IPE • TIC (ISBL) = $22,050,000 • Indirect field costs = $1,900,000 • Non field costs =$3,400,000 • Total startup cost = $27,350,000 • Upkeep = $16,700,000/year • Includes catalyst prices and utilities

  20. Field Cost Distribution D O L L A R S

  21. Non-Field Cost Distribution D O L L A R S

  22. Indirect Field Cost Distribution D O L L A R S

  23. Utilities • Cooling water • 70,000 gpm • 4 Million Dollars/year • 100 psia Pressure Steam • 30.4 Klb/hr • 2 Million Dollars/year • 400 psia Pressure steam • 157.5 Klb/hr • 14.8 Million Dollars/year • Steam generation • Steam costs not included in upkeep

  24. Catalyst Pricing • http://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy11osti/47594.pdf

  25. Syngas and Product Cost • Syngas cost = $250/ton • Total syngas cost / year = $500 Million • Gasoline price = $2.25/gallon ($94.5/bbl) • EIA spot price • LPG price = $1/gallon ($42/bbl)

  26. Outside Battery Limit Process Economics • Total Installed Cost (TIC) didn’t include buildings, etc. • Factor of 8 • New TIC = $218 Million • About 45% of syngas cost/year • Gasoline and syngas prices

  27. Final Economics • Total revenue per year = $575 Million • Profit = $56 Million/year • IRR = 26% (20 year plant life) • Simple payback = 3.8 years

  28. Summary • 16,300 bbl/day gasoline • 4,350 bbl/day LPG • Lots of potential for heat recovery • 26% IRR • Gasoline and syngas price

  29. Questions?

  30. Steam Gen. from MeOH reactor • -475 MMBTU • 10% lost • 440 KLb per hour • Enough to satisfy our requirements • Working with gasifier group • Use in process • Electricity generation

  31. Methanol to Gasoline Reactors Sizing Calculations Size of Reactors
