What is the approximate investment required to produce 100,000 tons of methanol per year at present? It is a low-pressure methanol synthesis route that uses briquetted coal for fixed-bed batch gasification.

The cost for burning briquettes is around 300 million, with the exact amount depending on the manufacturer of your main equipment

If a complete new set is developed from the basic components to the finished armored products, the cost will be around 1 billion. The powder gasification technology is a better choice.

It depends on whether your utility systems rely on other companies; if you only need to handle gasification, purification, and synthesis, around 500 million will be sufficient. If you want to be completely self-sufficient, 1 billion will be needed: lol. This assumes that the necessary equipment is domestically produced; imported equipment, of course, is even more expensive

It depends on the geographical location of your factory, that is, the cost of the land, as well as the price of the equipment you choose and the costs associated with infrastructure development

Our company produces 100,000 tons of methanol from coke oven gas; the coking plant is existing, while the methanol production system was designed by Tianyi Technology, with a total investment of nearly 300 million yuan. It is currently under construction.

It depends on the specific process involved. For methanol produced from coke oven gas on a scale of 100,000 tons per year, the cost associated with motor-driven systems will not exceed 200 million yuan, while that for turbine-driven systems will not exceed 260 million yuan.

Previously, our company’s estimate was around 350 million, but with the current financial crisis and the general drop in prices of steel, the cost of investing in such projects is now lower.

What you’re talking about is all very small amounts; the public utilities alone must cost around 200 million, and the main equipment will cost even more, around 400 million.

It should be around 600 to 800 million; about 200 million for the project construction, and over 400 million for the entire set of equipment

This depends crucially on the choice of gasification route; if a fixed-bed system is used, the estimated investment, excluding other costs such as land, will not exceed 200 million.

Using domestically produced catalysts and process equipment, with an investment of around 500 million

In the current investment environment, it would cost around 800-900 million. 1# zhangcwzj

If it is coal-based gas used to produce methanol, the cost will be higher, at around over 1 billion
Reply #152009-06-02
Most people have given very low estimates; the figure for our company’s assessment is around 600-800 million.
Reply #162009-06-02
Our company also produces 100,000 tons; the preliminary budget is over 600 million

It depends on the process you choose. For a standard process, the cost is around 500 million yuan; if you use the Texaco gas generation process, combined with low-temperature methanol washing and air separation, then the investment will be much higher – at least 1 billion yuan

The production of methanol from coke oven gas – the design developed by the Second Chemical Engineering Institute involves an investment of around 300 million yuan; the cost mainly depends on the price of stainless steel.
