May I ask what the capacity of the largest methanol synthesis plant in the world is currently?

I would like to ask about the processing capacity of a single-series device

It seems to be from Luchi; the gas-liquid combined reactor type can achieve a capacity of 1 million tons per year. The largest plant of this type in China is the one operated by CNOOC Chemical in Hainan Dongfang, with a capacity of 800,000 tons per year? year

Is the methanol produced by Sinochem made from natural gas?

The Trinidad M5000 large methanol plant, with a production capacity of 1.8 million tons per year, was designed by DAVY.

Jiutai’s unit produces 1 million units of methanol per set, which is quite substantial as well

Atlas, Trinidad: 5000 mtpd, 1999 NPC, 4th in terms of methanol production; Iran: 5000 mtpd, 2000 NPC, 5th in terms of methanol production; Iran: 5000 mtpd, 2004, Qafac, Qatar: 6750 mtpd, 2004; Acetex, Saudi Arabia: 5400 mtpd, 2004

Asia’s largest methanol plant begins trial operation – A subsidiary of Malaysia’s Pctronas recently announced that the country’s largest methanol plant, located on Borneo Island, started its trial operation on May 13th. The designed capacity of this facility is 5,000 tons per day, or 1.7 million tons per year. Commercial production of this facility is scheduled to begin in September this year, with the 150 million cubic feet per day of natural gas required coming from offshore gas fields near Sabah in Malaysia. It is reported that the construction of this methanol plant began in 2005, with several local contractors in Malaysia working together on its development. The methanol production capacity of this facility will meet Malaysia’s domestic demand, and it will also be exported to other countries in Asia. China’s first methanol production plant with a daily capacity of 2,000 tons – the one owned by CNOOC Chemical Co., Ltd., which has the highest production capacity in the country – has successfully passed performance tests and meets all design requirements; it is capable of producing 666,700 tons of methanol per year. It came online on September 12, 2006, 34 days earlier than planned, saving over 200 million yuan compared to the estimated investment. The facility is renowned in the industry for its core competitiveness in terms of high quality and low costs. The facility utilizes methanol technology from the German company Lurgi Chemicals. China Chengda Engineering Company was responsible for the overall design, while Sinopec’s 10th Company handled the construction of the main units. During the construction process, it achieved excellent results: no major safety incidents occurred, the qualification rate for each individual project was 100%, and the quality of the construction was top-notch. The product quality met both the American Federal AA standard and China’s national standards. Thanks to low investment costs, abundant raw materials, low production expenses, and convenient transportation, this facility has strong competitiveness in the market. In an era where there is growing demand for energy alternatives, methanol is gaining increasing prominence as a new type of energy source. With its advanced manufacturing processes and environmentally friendly characteristics, this technology not only generates economic benefits but also aligns with the development strategy of replacing scarce energy sources with more abundant ones. From the initial planning of the project to its final commissioning, this large-scale chemical facility was built at high speed with a total project management team of less than 50 people. Through scientific management and efficient execution, the builders, driven by a spirit of determination and perseverance, brought honor to the country and pride to CNOOC.

In recent decades, large-scale single-series methanol synthesis towers have been continuously developed and used in industrial production. The single-unit capacity of a Luchi shell-and-tube methanol synthesis tower can reach 1,000–1,500 tons per day. The single-unit capacity of an ICI multi-stage cold-shock methanol synthesis tower can reach 2,500 tons per day.

At present, the normal production capacity in China is 600,000 tons per year by CNOOC Jiantao! Others, such as 1.2 million tons or 1.5 million tons, are just loud claims with no real substance!

As mentioned on the 7th floor, the capacity of large methanol plants abroad is mostly around 5,000 tons per day.

Iran: 2.1 million tons per year (7,000 tons per day), single tower and single train, Kasali synthesis tower; design available.

The plant run by CNOOC Jiantao in Chongqing has stopped production; it’s not clear if there were problems with its operation

Lugri’s large methanol production capacity: 7,400 tons per day; I can’t remember exactly where it is
