Methanol production from coke oven gas
Thread Content
What is the impact of the methane content in the raw coke oven gas used in the production of methanol from coke oven gas on methanol yield? How to control it?
CH4 is an inert gas in methanol synthesis; it does not participate in the reaction but affects the reaction rate. It is necessary to control certain parameters, and this can be achieved by coordinating with the conversion unit to reduce the methane content
What is the effect of the methane content in the feed gas on methanol production?
With more methane, methanol production decreases
The methanol content in the feed gas is determined based on the design requirements of the conversion furnace; too much methanol will not be convertible, resulting in a reduced yield of methanol, while too little methanol means overutilization of the equipment, leading to higher energy consumption and lower economic efficiency
