Assume the conversion rate for the below is 8 0 % and do calculations accordingly Daily production of MEA is 3 0 . 3 0

Assume the conversion rate for the below is 80% and do calculations accordingly
Daily production of MEA is 30.30 metric tons/ day , however pure MEA is required at 30.151 metric tons/day. The rest is considered as additional water
Ethylene oxide required is 21.748 metric tons/day
Aqueous ammonia feed is 152.776 metric tons/day
Pure ammonia from the aqueous solution is : 84.03 tons/day
Note: *Ammonia feed was available at 10 atm and 50\deg C before going into the reactor and Ethylene Oxide was available at 5 atm and 40\deg C.
*A reaction temperature of 150 C is maintained in the reactor, and a pressure of 160 atmospheres to avoid the evaporation of ammonia.
*what would be the ammonia and etyylene oxide stream recycled stream be in quantity
