World methanol situation poses challenge in process design

Journal Article · · Chem. Eng. News; (United States)
A variety of approaches in production process design for methanol production are discussed. All processes require a CO/H/sub 2/ synthesis gas with stoichiometric composition as close to the methanol synthesis requirement as possible. Between 40 and 60% of the cost is for preparing the synthesis gas. Coal-based synthesis gas is carbon rich compared with methane based gas wh
