3. 4. Abstract
Dimethyl ether (DME) is a sustainable substitute for diesel fuel. Its
application involves both the chemical and automotive industries. In recent
years the global market for DME has increased especially in emerging
countries like China. The trend indicates increasing future demands in this
project, natural gas (e.g. from biomass) and carbon dioxide (e.g. from power
plants) are utilized as raw materials in a dry reforming process to produce
syngas. Syngas production is followed by direct DME synthesis, in which
conventional methanol synthesis and DME synthesis are integrated into a
one-step process over a functional catalyst, resulting in a simplified overall
process design. The literature search shows that DME is produced by the
catalytic dehydration of methanol over zeolite catalyst, the required
methanol is obtained from synthesis gas which is obtained from organic
waste. Construction of plant with 50,000 metric-tons/y (50,000,000 kg/y)
capacity. The objective of this project is to evaluate and analyse process
design, costs and especially with respect to sustainability and environmental
impact.
4. 5. Introduction
• Over the mid-to-long term, energy consumption in the African region is
expected to increase substantially during the 21st century. In realizing
sustained growth in this region in the future, energy supply and
environmental problems associated with mass energy consumption
will be major problems. High expectations are placed on dimethyl
ether (DME) as a new fuel which can be synthesized from diverse
hydrocarbon sources, including natural gas, can be handled as easily
as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and causes a small load on the
environment. Thus, if DME can be produced and distributed at low cost
and in large quantities, this fuel can make an important contribution to
solving the energy supply problems and environmental problems
resulting from expanded energy consumption expected in Asia in the
future.
• Our plant will be located in Umlwazi (Kwazulu Natal province) where
the product will be easily transported even to the other South African
countries through ships as Umlwazi is next to the sea. Since
production of DME is in high demand we have conducted a survey
across, we found out that the best method to use indirect method by
dehydration reaction of methanol. While most of the DME is currently
produced by the indirect method, technical development of the direct
method has been carried out expecting its higher efficiency because
the methanol itself is synthesized from the synthesis gas.
5. Problem statement
Introduction
Dimethyl ether (DME) is used primarily as a propellant. It is miscible with
most organic solvents and has high solubility with water. Recently, the use of
DME as a fuel additive for diesel engines has been investigated due to its
high volatility (desirable for cold starting) and high cetane number.
As an engineering team, you are asked by the management to design a DME
process in order to produce 50,000 metric-tons/y (50,000,000 kg/y).
The literature search shows that DME is produced by the catalytic
dehydration of methanol over zeolite catalyst. The reaction is as follows:
2CH3OH CH3OCH3 + H2O
In the temperature range of normal operations, there are no side reactions.
Process Description
Fresh methanol, Stream 1, is combined with recycled reactant, Stream 8, and
vaporized prior to being sent to a fixed bed reactor, operating at 350°C. The
reactor effluent, Stream 4, is then cooled prior to being sent to the first of
two distillation columns. DME product is taken overhead from the first
column. The second column separates water from the unreacted methanol.
The methanol is recycled back to the front end of the process, while the
water is sent to waste treatment to remove trace amounts of organic
compounds.
6. Tasks
1. Draw the process flow diagram (PFD) with a stream table showing the
material balance;
2. Determine the per-pass conversion of methanol assuming that the reactor
operates at equilibrium;
3. Size and estimate the purchase cost of the process equipment;
4. Estimate the capital cost using detailed factorial method;
5. Estimate the operating cost;
6. Perform cash-flow analysis and determine the whether the process is
economically viable. If yes, determine when the project will break even.
Catalyst and reactor information
The process uses a crystalline silicon-aluminum oxide catalyst, called a
zeolite. This particular catalyst performs well in the 200°C-to-400°C range,
but deactivates rapidly if heated above 400°C. The design will use a single
packed bed reactor. Reactor sizing is out scope and will be covered at the
BTech level. However, for costing purposes, the reactor will be assumed to
account for 25% of the total purchase cost of the equipment.

6. Process Flowsheet and Material balances
9. 7. Process Description
Appendix A is a preliminary process flow diagram (PFD) for the dimethyl
ether production process. The raw material is methanol, which may be
assumed to be pure. The feed is pumped to the mixed where it is mixed with
the recycle then passed to the vaporizer where it is heated, vaporized, and
superheated and then sent to the reactor in which dimethyl ether (DME) is
formed. The reactor effluent is cooled and partially condensed in a heat
exchanger, and it is then sent to the first separation section called distillation
column. Pure” DME is produced in the top stream (distillate), with methanol
and water in the bottom stream (bottoms). In the second distillation column
the distillate contains methanol for recycle, and the bottoms contains waste
water. The desired dimethyl ether production rate is 5985.0415kg/hr.
Process Details
Feed Stream
Stream 1: methanol, from storage tank at 1 atm and 25°C, may be assumed
pure
Effluent Streams
Stream 9: dimethyl ether product, required 5985.0415kg/hr. may be assumed
pure
Stream 10: waste water stream, may be assumed pure in material balance
calculations with 2340.4082 kg/hr, and is not pure, so there is a cost for its
treatment
10. Equipment
Pump
The pump increases the pressure of the feed plus recycle to a minimum of 15
atm.
Heat Exchanger 1:
This unit heats, vaporizes, and superheats the feed to 153.78°C at 42.37
atm. The source of energy for heating must be above 153.78°C.
Reactor:
The following reaction occurs: methanol dimethyl ether
2CH3OH → CH3OCH3 + H2O
The reaction is equilibrium limited. The conversion per pass is 80% of the
equilibrium conversion at the pressure and exit temperature of the reactor.
Based on the catalyst and reaction kinetics, the reactor must operate at a
minimum of 15 atm. The reactor operates isothermally, and, since the
reaction is exothermic, the reactor effluent temperature will be 350°C.
Heat Exchanger 2:
This unit cools and partially condenses the reactor effluent. The valve before
this heat exchanger reduces the pressure. This exit pressure may be at any
pressure below the reactor pressure, but must be identical to the pressure at
which it operates.
Distillation Column 1:
This distillation column separates DME from methanol and water. The
separation may be assumed to be perfect, i.e., pure DME is produced in the
distillate. The temperature of the distillate is the temperature at which DME
condenses at the chosen column pressure.
Distillation Column 2:
This distillation column separates methanol for recycle from water. For this
semester only, the separation may be assumed to be perfect. However, since
we know this cannot be true in practice, the water stream is actually a waste
water stream, and there is a cost for its treatment. The temperature of the
distillate is the temperature at which methanol condenses at the chosen
column pressure.
Other Equipment:
For two or more streams to mix, they must be at identical pressures. Pressure
reduction may be accomplished by adding a valve. All of these valves are not
necessarily shown on the attached flowsheet, and it may be assumed that
additional valves can be added as needed at no cost. Flow occurs from
11. higher pressure to lower pressure. Pumps increase the pressure of liquid
streams, and compressors increase the pressure of gas streams

23. 13. Important considerations
Environmental problems
• The plant emission has been evaluated based on the conceptual design of
the plant. The key result is that the plant will abide by all environmental
regulations and not discharge any material which is harmful to the
environment. Furthermore, by treating the flue gas from the plant, which is
currently discharged to the atmosphere, the combined emissions from
both plants will be much less, and thus the overall environmental impact is
improved. Short half-life in atmosphere.
Health and safety
• DME has been proven to be stable in the presence of LPG under normal
storage conditions. Equipment to store, transport, bottle, dispense and use
DME are substantially similar to those required for LPG. Significant studies
into materials compatibility, and the thermal and chemical properties of such
blends in China, Japan and Korea provide clear guidelines for safe handling
and use.
• Waste water is pretreated and remove all materials that can be easily
collected from waste water before they damage or clog the pumps. Objects
that are commonly removed during pretreatment include trash, tree limbs,
leaves and other large objects. On our plant we will use the device known as
the American Petroleum Institute oil-water separator which is designed to
separate oil and suspended solids from the waste water effluents.
24. • Non toxic, non-carcinogenic and Approved as consumer product propellant
14. Operating Cost and Economic Analysis
• The fixed capital cost has to be installed over a 3-year period (2014-2016)
in steps of 50%, 30% and 20%. Just prior to start-up, 15% of fixed capital
is required as working capital. The production cost (excluding capital
charges) is estimated as 0.593283616 $/kg and the selling price 1.08 $/kg.
The plant capacity of 50,000,000 kg/y is reached in the third year of
operation as follows: in the first year the plant operates at 50% capacity,
second year at 75% capacity and third year at full capacity. The estimated
life of the project is 15 years. The interest rate is 15% and tax of 30%
25. 15. Conclusions and recommendations
DME is a very promising new, multi-purpose fuel, manufactured from methanol.
It has many opportunities and many driver are dependent on DME as a fuel and a
significant global DME effort has evolved led by Asia. If the DME production is
successful it would be the first DME production in AFRICA. DME community has
joined forces for advancement of DME
