Energy consumption<br />

•Water must be evaporated!<br />

Water<br />

MEG<br />

–Example:<br />

• Feed: 300 m 3 /d 60 wt% MEG<br />

• Feed temp: 30°C, boiling temp, 120°C<br />

Heat capacity (kJ/ kg K) 4.16 3.1<br />

Heat of vaporization (kJ/kg) 2603 968<br />

–Answer:<br />

• MEG<br />

• H 2 O<br />

180 m 3 /d=180 000 kg/d<br />

120 m 3 /d=120 000 kg/d<br />

–Heating from 30 to 120°C<br />

• MEG 180 000*3.10*90=5.02*10 7 kJ/d = 580 kW<br />

• H 2 O 120 000*4.16*90=4.49*10 7 kJ/d = 520 kW 1 100 kW<br />

–Vaporization<br />

• Not all water is evaporated (only to get 90wt% MEG)<br />

• H 2 O 90 000*2603=3.12*10 8 kJ/d = 2711 kW 2 700 kW 3.8 MW<br />
