The objectives of this program are to implement and test the process improvements identified through the engineering studies of the current program (Contract DE-AC22-85PC80007), to demonstrate the capability of long-term catalyst activity maintenance, and to perform process and design engineering work that can be applied to a scale-up Liquid Phase Methanol (LPMEOH) facility. An optional series of Process Development Unit (PDU) runs is offered to extend the testing of the process improvements. A parallel research program will be performed to enhance the LPMEOH technical data base to improve the likelihood of commercialization of the LPMEOH process.
