Remarks
1 Max. venting from tanks TK-0001,TK-0002 A/B and TK-0003
2 Maximum flow calculated includes vent gas from raw methanol buffer tank (TK-0001), methanol product buffer tanks (TK-
0002 A/B) and liquid off stream tank (TK-0003). Figure represents steady state flow. Actual flow may vary due to thermal
breathing and product movement.
3 To be confirmed during detailed design.
4 Pressure drop for whole system including gas venting piping shall be below 10 mbar.
5 To be confirmed by packing vendor.
6 Column to be located at an elevation that allows gravity flow of liquid back to the raw methanol buffer tank, TK-0001.
