How is the methanol synthesis rate calculated?
Thread Content
In methanol synthesis, there are terms such as the synthesis rates of CO and CO2. What are the formulas for their synthesis rates?
Just control the hydrogen-to-carbon ratio of the gas fed into the tower
The CO content in the synthesized fresh gas minus the CO content at the exit of the synthesis tower, divided by the CO content in the inlet material; the CO2 conversion rate is calculated using the same method
CO conversion rate = 1 – (exit CO content × inlet inert gas content) / (inlet CO content × exit inert gas content)
