Overview - 99.5% Concentration Process
Owing to the azeotrope from methylal , formaldehyde and water, adopting the normal rectification method cannot get high concentration methylal. Kaimao company, on the base of the original process for normal concentration methylal , has successfully researched the high concentration methylal process, via many tests and technical designs, making methylal purity to reach 99.5%.

1.Concentration of 90% methylal preparing unit
This unit is the same technology with 85%-92% methylal process, and the only difference is that 3# Pressurized Tower top gas is used to heat the tower bottom liquid of 1# Reaction Tower.

2. Concentration of 99.5% methylal preparing unit

Methyal with concentration about 90% is pumped by the high pressure pump into 3# Pressurized Tower. The tower bottom reboiler is heated by steam, with the tower controlled in a certain pressure. The liquid withdrew from the tower bottom is 99.5% methylal. The gas from the tower top firstly comes into 2# condenser for condensation; the released heat is used as the heat source of 1# reaction tower. The condensed liquid comes into 2# Reflux Drum, and part of it will be back flowed to 3# Pressurized Tower, other parts will be put to 4# Recovery Tower.

3.Methanol recycling unit

Most part of the liquid in 2# Reflux Drum is methylal, with litter methanol. Part of this liquid will be sent to the 4# Recovery Tower. The tower bottom reboiler is heated by the steam. The liquid withdrew from the tower bottom is high purity methanol, which can be sent to Mixer for continuous reaction. Part of the gas phase from the tower top after condensation will be back flowed to 4# Recovery Tower, other parts will be sent to 1# Reflux Drum for the continuous rectification.

Technology feature:
Exclusively create the pressure adding rectification technology to make high concentration methylal , which is very technically and economically efficient.
