Effect of different pressure using safety analysis for power to methanol production plant / Muhammad Aliff Muhammad Sohaimi

Nowadays, the earth getting worst as the global warming phenomenon being concern especially for the researchers. This phenomenon is due to greenhouse effect particularly emission of the carbon dioxide which is from the industrial process, manufacturing and also deforestation. The technology and innovation play important role to mitigate the concentration of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Thus, the carbon capture approach a technique that absorb carbon dioxide from the flue gas which can produce methanol in presence of hydrogen gas from the electrolysis of water. The utilisation of carbon dioxide attributes various hydrocarbon products that have commercial value. Basically, it is actually a concept power to methanol mainly the methanol is widely used as raw material in plastic industry and alternative fuel. This research project is based on result from the simulation through Aspen Hysis regarding the effect of process condition particularly different of pressure range from 76 bar 442 bar. The data was analysed to evaluate and determine the safety risk of production plant using using probit correlation related to percentage fatality according to fire, explosion and toxicity cases. The research suggested a minimum risk of plant is beyond other considerations such as selectivity, conversion and energy consumption. High pressure of process plant can lead to a major disaster such as fire and explosion if not taking a serious precautions of the process control system
