Energy consumption - reclamation<br />

•In a reclaimer, both MEG <strong>and</strong> water is evaporated<br />

–Example:<br />

• Feed: 300 m 3 /d 60 wt% MEG<br />

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

Water MEG<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 />

• MEG 180 000*968 =1.74*10 8 kJ/d = 2 016 kW<br />

• H 2 O 120 000*2603=3.12*10 8 kJ/d = 3 615 kW 5 631 kW 6.7 MW<br />
