    A large agro-industrial complex produces 7000 m3/hr of methane gas at atmospheric pressure through an on-site bio digester. To economically store and utilize the methane, the student is asked to design a compression station to pressurize the gas to 200 atm using multiple compressor stages. The design should include a process flow diagram, number of compressor stages, estimated power consumption and needs for other utilities to operate the system safely and efficiently.

    PR # 2 Chemical Engineering Thermodynamic 2 (A)

    Due date: February 21, 2017

    1. A big agro industrial complex builds a huge bio digester system to treat its waste to produce a large
    quantity of methane gas (after purification) at an atmospheric pressure. The production rate can reach
    7000 m3/hr. This low pressure gas is technically un-economical to be stored. To allow a more profitable
    utilization of this renewable energy for transportation fuel, you are asked to design a compression
    station to pressurize the methane gas to 200 atm.
    Propose process flow diagram to achieve this goal. How many stages of compressors do you
    recommend?
    Estimate power consumption. Over all efficiency (covering both isentropic efficiency and
    mechanical efficiency) of the compressor system is 74 %
    Estimate the needs of other utilities to operate the system

    The problems were taken from Smith et al. 7th Eddition
