Síntese de Formalina a partir de metanol: análise do processo e avaliação econômica. 2025. 68f. Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação em engenharia quimica), Departamento de Ciência da Informação, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2009https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/61471Formaldehyde is crucial for various industries, especially in the production of resins and chemicals. This study evaluated the implementation of a formalin production plant from methanol, using Aspen HYSYS® to simulate and optimize the process. The equipment design parameters, safety systems, and economic feasibility of the project were determined. The plant, with a capacity to process 19,720 tons of methanol per year, presented a Net Present Value (NPV) of 4.782 million reais, indicating profitability. Despite negative cash flows in the first three years, the plant will start generating profits in the 13th year of operation. Additionally, the analysis of environmental risks and process control strategies demonstrated the plant’s sustainable feasibility, with measures to minimize environmental impacts and ensure operational safety.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/projetometanolbachelorThesis
