Methanol PPT 1 2

The presentation discusses conducting a feasibility analysis of using methanol as an alternative fuel in internal combustion engines. It will involve testing blends of methanol and petrol in an engine on a dynamometer. The testing will involve blends of 5%, 10%, and 15% methanol. The goals are to find a cleaner and more efficient fuel that reduces emissions and is less expensive than petrol. Methanol production and the advantages of using it as a fuel are also discussed. Risk assessment shows methanol poses less risk than gasoline in pool fires. There is potential for methanol to replace gasoline in the future.

INTRODUCTION:-

Methanol (CH3OH) has been proposed as a fuel for internal combustion and other
engines, mainly in combination with gasoline. Historically, methanol was first
produced from pyrolysis of wood, however, coal, oil, solid waste, and wood can and
are being used to make methanol.
Methanol are alcohol-based fuels made by fermenting and Methanol can and has
been produced from a variety of substances over the years including: Wood, Coal,
NG, Crop residues, Grass Forest residues, and Cellulosic parts of municipal solid
wastes.
LITERATURE SURVEY:-

In their research scientists of different country such as CHINA, SWEDEN, INDIA,


TURKEY have use Methanol as an alternate fuel for internal combustion engines, either
they have blended with gasoline or used directly. However, use of methanol today as a
gasoline blend or directly as a fuel is minimal. The uses are primarily for fuel in racing
cars and fuel in select provinces in China. At the end of their study they concluded that
as the percentage of alcohol increases, performance of engine tends to decrease
generally. However after doing engine modifications such as increasing the engine
compression ratio and advancing the ignition timing the engine performance increases,
almost 12.5% increase in the power output. Lots of country have think about the
alternative of fuel during there oil crisis.
METHANOL

• It is also known as methyl alcohol, wood alcohol, wood naphtha or wood spirits
• It has chemical formula CH3OH (often abbreviated as MeOH)
• It is a light, volatile, colourless, flammable, liquid with a distinctive odour.
• At room temperature it is a polar liquid.
• It forms explosive mixtures with air and burns with a nonluminous flame.
2 CH3OH + 3 O2→ 2 CO2 + 4 H2O

Boiling point : 64.96° C (148.93° F)


Freezing point : -93.9°C (-137°F)

Relative Density : 0.8

PROCEDURE
The testing will be done in three stage by blending Methanol with Petrol in a particular
vol.

 M5 – 5% Methanol blend with Petrol

 M10 – 10% Methanol blend with Petrol

 M15 – 15% Methanol blend with Petrol


EXPERIMENT GOALS

 To find clean and efficient energy source for IC engines.

 To minimize the emission of CO, SOx, NOx & HC.

 To find the less expensive alternative fuel in place of petrol.

 To find a fuel which is easy to produce and easily available anywhere


around the world.
ADVANTAGES OF METHANOL

 Lower price per calorie

 Lower Emission

 Safer Liquid Fuel

 Energy Efficiency, High Octane

 A solution for IC engines

 Utilize existing infrastructure


RISK ASSESSMENT

METHANOL VS DIESEL VS GASOLINE VS LPG

SCENARIO:

METHANOL, DIESEL, GASOLINE – LEAKAGE FROM A TANK CREATING A


POOL FIRE IN AN AREA OF 100SQ. METERS.

COMPARISON OF RISK RANGES (METERS)


METHANOL VS DIESEL VS GASOLINE VS LPG

LPG 106

GASOLINE 45

DIESEL 38

METHANOL 15

0 50 60 70 80 90 100 110
FUTURE SCOPE
 In near future it can replace gasoline because of being less pollutant and its
simple manufacturing process.

 It is a never ending fuel because it can be made from coal, biomass, wood, CO2,
Natural gas etc.

 It seems to be a promising fuel for future by reducing emissions of SOx & PM


by 90% and NOx by 60%

 There is great potential for Methanol as a marine fuel in the future.
