Sr no Description of process

1 Recovery of ( Methanol + Thinoyl chloride ) is to be done in 08 KL GLR


2 Hot water of 80 degree celsius will be used in reactor jkt .
3 For vapor condensation , utility of +05 celsius will be in primary graphite condensor
4 Rxn mass is only 3441 Kg , Therefor for peak load calculation , volume occupancy factor is 0.5
5 During recovery mean reactor temperature is 40 celsius
Assumptions
1 Latent heat of pure methanol is used in rxn
Point to be checked
1 90 % recovery of rxn mass is to be done which may result in minimum temperature sensing & minimum stirring problem
Conclusion
1 Maximum boil up rate will be 249 Kg/hr
2 For thermic fluid , 01 KL reactor is not suitable
Recommendation
1 For thermic fluid , shell & tube heat exchanger of Heat transfer area 20 m2 should be used
2 For reduction in CAPEX , Plate heat exchanger can be used inplace of shell & tube heat exchanger.(Sizing should be done by vendor)
3 Pumping flow rate required 36 m3/hr
Justification
1 Pumping flow rate is high because of low specific heat capacity & density of methanol as compared to water
