Chemical Production Specifications



Partnered Chemical Production Team: Golf

Chemical Being Produced: Acetic Acid

Amount Desired: 3000 Metric Tons per Day

Desired Condition: 460 F and 725 psi

Desired Molar Fractions: These specification over specify the stream and therefore and impossible to balance correctly with out a CH4 and/or N2 adjusting block.

.6797 H2
.2786 CO
.0352 CO2
.0021 CH4
.0044 N2

Our Last Process: Water gas shift and possible compression

Chem. Prod. First Process: H2/CO Separation

These are the proper stream design specification.


CO/H2(mole ratio) = .40988


C/H (mole ratio) = .2309
