A 40,000tons/year DMC branch plant Summary The preparation of dimethyl carbonate(DMC) by taking the urea alcoholysis route has indirectly consumed and reused the carbon dioxide(CO2 ) in the world. Taking the basic chemical products—urea and methanol as raw materials, this route has got the advantages of low cost, no water and easy product refinement, thus it is a potential perfect route in terms of both environment protection and energy saving. The Yixiu group has designed a DMC branch plant with a productivity of 40,000 tons/year with the urea and methanol reacting under the catalysis of ZnO-La2O3 in the catalytic distillation tower and a following three distillation towers’ product refinement. In our design, we have completed the feasibility report, preliminary design specification, 3D model of plant design, process control design, the plant and manufacture safety analysis and economic evaluation. Figure 1 overview of the plant 1. Background and significance As energy shortage and environmental problems become the focus of attention all over the world, many attempts have been made to green the manufacturing process and the product itself. This project focuses on a widely known chemical product – Dimethyl Carbonate, which is of great potential use in chemical synthesis and substituting some harmful chemicals. We employ the reaction between urea and methanol to produce high quality DMC, and try to make an effort in reducing CO2 emission and energy consumption. Throughout the whole production, technical innovation and energy saving are emphasized via heat inte
