The invention relates to a production device and method for co-production of crude
methanol or single production of refined
methanol and / or
dimethyl ether. It includes a reactor and four towers. The present invention organically combines the
methanol rectification device and the
dimethyl ether device, and all the rectification towers of
dimethyl ether are shared with the methanol rectification
tower, which can realize the co-production of refined methanol and dimethyl
ether or the single production of refined methanol or dimethyl
ether The operation of the three technical processes of methyl
ether saves investment and energy, reduces production costs, makes the best use of everything, and improves the
utilization rate of the device. Moreover, when co-producing or producing dimethyl ether alone, the crude methanol
raw material passes through the first
tower to remove light components, which reduces the load on the reactor, the
reaction product is easy to separate, and the quality of the dimethyl ether product is high; The methanol vapor returns directly to the three towers without condensation, and the separation capacity of the three towers is used to obtain refined methanol, which saves investment and reduces
energy consumption.
