Material Balance:
Basis : 100 TPA of Formalin (37% Formaldehyde)
1) Reactor:

CH3OH
(187.74 mol/hr)
CH2O
Reactor
O2 (140.8 mol/hr)
(56.32 mol/hr)

Methanol O2 CH2O H2O H2 N2

Input 187.74 56.32 0 0 0 205.63 mol/hr
Output 46.94 0 140.8 112.64 28.161 205.63 mol/hr
Heat Duties:
1) Heat Exchanger-1:
Heat Duty, Q = Sensible Heat (298K to 338K) + Latent Heat + Sensible Heat (338K to 823K)

Heat Duty (HX-1) = 3.6502 kW (Theoretical)

Heat Duty (HX-1) = 3.8482 kW (Simulated Value)
2) Heat Exchanger-2:
Heat Duty, Q = Sensible Heat (467.2K to 823K)

Heat Duty (HX-2) = 0.784804 kW (Theoretical)

Heat Duty (HX-2) = 0.800274 kW (Simulated Value)
Future Plans
 Operational Parameters.

 Cost Estimation.

 Material of Construction.

 Environmental and Safety Precautions.
