Effect of different volumetric flowrates using safety analysis for power to methanol production plant

The increase of the carbon dioxide, co₂ emission to the atmosphere has caused the increase of the temperature of the Earth. Thus, Global warming also increases. The source of the co₂ emissions is from human activities such as deforestation and burning fuel and coal that used in methanol plant in order to supply electricity. In order to decrease the co₂ emission, the Power to Methanol method plant was introduced. Power to Methanol plant is the plant that produce methanol by using the carbon dioxide capture and hydrogen that produced from electrolysis of water. So, the concentration of co₂ in atmosphere will be reduced. However, based on the research before, the only aspect that has been considered such as energy, market and economy analysis. However, safety analysis also needs to be considered. So, this research targets to produce Power to Methanol plant that has minimal risk. In order to achieve the target, this research will determine the effect of volumetric flowrate of hydrogen and carbon dioxide feed by using Aspen Hysis. This research also will analyze the safety analysis of the methanol plant by using method of Quantitative Risk Assessment, QRA.
