Does a high level of carbon monoxide in the fresh gas for methanol synthesis have an impact on the catalyst?

Does 40% carbon monoxide in the fresh gas for methanol synthesis have an impact on the catalyst?
How much hydrogen? What about carbon dioxide?
Where does such high levels of carbon monoxide come from? If the level of carbon monoxide is too high, it has a significant impact; it can cause overheating and the catalyst will lose its effectiveness very quickly
The one-way conversion rate remains unchanged; won’t such high levels of carbon monoxide affect the subsequent processing stages? Moreover, it easily overheats and is difficult to control
What are the other components of the gas? There’s also H/C
About 50% fresh gas hydrogen, 41% carbon monoxide, 2% carbon dioxide; H/C ratio of 1.2
To produce methanol from this gas composition, shift reaction is required; after the shift reaction, hydrogen accounts for 66% and carbon monoxide accounts for 26%, which are suitable for methanol production.
Has it always been under such control? Can the furnace temperature be controlled?
