Technology
The DME project adopts advanced methanol gas-phase catalytic dehydration technology to produce fuel-grade DME with a concentration of more than 99.0%. The fuel-grade DME is further separated through a lightness removal tower (using high-efficiency corrugated rolled perforated plate filler) to obtain refined ether with a concentration of 99.9% and high-purity ether with a concentration of 99.99%.
Theory
The chemical stability and low molecular weight of DME make it highly reactive for applications in energy and chemical processes. Its combustion reaction is represented as follows:
CH₃OCH₃ + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 3H₂O + Energy
Service
  • Customized Solutions: Tailored specifications for different industries.
  • Logistics Support: Safe and efficient transport of DME worldwide.
  • Technical Assistance: On-site and remote troubleshooting for specific applications.
  • 24/7 Customer Support: Dedicated team to address queries anytime.
Production Process
  1. Methanol dehydration under controlled conditions using advanced solid acid catalysts.
  2. Purification of the final product to ensure high purity levels (>99.99%).
  3. Storage in pressurized tanks for distribution.
Operation Instructions
  1. Handling: Always use DME in well-ventilated areas. Avoid inhalation or contact with skin.
  2. Storage: Store in sealed, pressurized containers away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
  3. Transport: Ensure compliance with safety regulations when transporting as a liquefied gas.
Safety Precautions
  • Weaker anesthetic - concentrations above 7.5mg/L can cause mild discomfort, anesthesia in 23min, and loss of consciousness after 26min.
  • Contact with skin may cause dermatitis. Operators should wear masks and rubber gloves.
  • Highly flammable and explosive. Avoid fire sources and pressurized steam during production, processing, storage and transportation.
  • Storage and transportation must comply with regulations for flammable materials.
