Dimethyl Ether (DME) Production Cost Report

Dimethyl Ether (DME) is an organic compound that is widely utilized in the chemical industry as an aerosol propellant, fuel, solvent, and refrigerant. DME is utilized as an alternative to traditional diesel fuel because of its characteristics, such as good ignition and a high cetane number, which allow for a clean, soot-free burn. Thus, it is extensively used in diesel engines and specially designed compression ignition diesel engines. Moreover, it is also utilized as a chemical feedstock to make other small molecules, such as dimethyl sulfate or acetic acid, which have further applications in the manufacture of dyes and inks. It is often used as a propellant gas in aerosol sprays. Also, in the medical sector, it is effectively utilized in removing warts with the cryogenic method.

The market for Dimethyl ether (DME) is primarily driven by its demand in the fuel industry, as it is extensively used as an alternative to diesel, which increases its market growth. It is also utilized as an aerosol propellant, fuel, solvent, and refrigerant, which further enhances its demand in the chemical industry. Additionally, it is also utilized in removing warts with the cryogenic method and as an aerosol spray, which remarkably enhances its demand in the medical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries.

It also acts as a chemical feedstock to make other compounds, which further enhance its market growth. Furthermore, the availability and cost of production of Dimethyl ether (DME) feedstock (methanol and syngas), Dimethyl ether (DME) market prices, distribution (including trading and shipping), logistics, etc., are some of the elements that influence industrial dimethyl ether (DME) procurement.

Raw Material for Dimethyl Ether (DME) Production

According to the Dimethyl Ether (DME) manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Dimethyl Ether (DME) production include Methanol-Syngas (CO/H2 mixtures).

Manufacturing Process of Dimethyl Ether (DME)

The extensive Dimethyl Ether (DME) production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing processes:

  • Production From Renewable Energies: In this process, biomasses such as energy crops, agro-residue, forest residue, etc., are gasified to produce a syngas stream that is utilized in one or two-step synthesis process to convert into DME.
  • Production From Direct Process: The process involves the catalytic dehydration of methanol, which in turn is produced by syngas, leading to the formation of dimethyl ether as the final product. This direct route occurs in one reactor.
  • Production from Indirect Process: This method of producing DME from methanol and synthesizing methanol from syngas occurs in two separate reactors equipped with the required catalysts.

Dimethyl Ether (DME) is an alternative fuel source for diesel which is produced synthetically. It is also referred to as methoxymethane, wood ether, dimethyl oxide, or methyl ether. Sustainable energy sources like the sun, biomass, wind, etc. can be used to provide the reactants required for the synthesis of dimethyl ether. Energy crops, agricultural waste, forest waste, and other biomass can be gasified to create a syngas stream that is fed into a one- or two-step DME synthesis procedure. Using electricity supplied from renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic and wind, the hydrogen steam in the syngas combination can be created in an electrolyser and then blended with CO2 and CO.

As a result of being "stored" in DME, renewable energy may be moved, kept, and utilised with ease. The chemical formula of DME is C2H6O and its molecular mass is 46.07 g/mol. It is an isomer of ethanol and is soluble in water. Under atmospheric conditions, it appears to be a colourless gas. It is a highly flammable, narcotic, and non-toxic gas in nature. The boiling point of dimethyl ether is -24 °C and its melting point is -141 °C. The density of DME is 2.11 kg/m³ and its specific gravity (25/4) °C is 0.661 (20 liquid).  It has a very sweet odour and its ignition temperature is 350°C.
