Investment in 250,000 tons of methanol distillation

2009-03-09View Original

Thread Content

Question: What is the approximate investment cost for the equipment in a 250,000-ton methanol distillation system (including both standard and custom-made equipment)? How much is the distillation of 100,000 tons of methanol?
Reply #22009-03-09
300,000 tons per year is approximately 40 million (including design costs, patents, pipeline materials, storage tank areas, and external pipe racks)

Thanks. So, approximately how much would the investment be just for the equipment?
Reply #42009-03-09
300,000 tons per year is roughly around 8 million (excluding the storage tank area).

It should be over 8 million; no specific figure has been recorded
