Methanol Production from Naphtha - Cost Analysis - Methanol E31A


Book Description

This report presents a cost analysis of Methanol production from naphtha. The process examined is a typical arrangement based on conventional partial oxidation of naphtha for syngas generation. In this process, naphtha undergoes partial oxidation producing syngas, which is then converted to Methanol. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: Synthesis Gas, Partial Oxidation




Methanol Production from Natural Gas - Cost Analysis - Methanol E12A


Book Description

This report presents a cost analysis of large-scale Methanol production from natural gas. The process examined employs combined reforming for syngas generation similarly to the technologies developed by the following companies: Lurgi, Toyo, KBR, Johnson Matthey/Davy and Haldor-Topsoe. In this process, natural gas is converted into syngas in two steps: steam reforming and autothermal reforming. In the steam reformer, the natural gas reacts with steam and, in the secondary (autothermal) reformer, it reacts with oxygen. The syngas generated is then converted to Methanol. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 8629190, issued to Lurgi in 2014 (2) US Patent 8388864, issued to Lurgi in 2013 Keywords: Synthesis Gas, Lurgi MegaMethanol, Johnson Matthey, JM Davy Technologies, Toyo, Kellogg Brown and Root, KBR, Johnson Matthey/Davy, Haldor-Topsoe




Methanol Production from Natural Gas - Cost Analysis - Methanol E11A


Book Description

This report presents a cost analysis of large-scale Methanol production from natural gas. The process examined is a typical arrangement based on conventional steam reforming of natural gas for syngas generation. Natural gas is sent to the steam reformer for producing syngas, which is then converted to Methanol. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): "Methanol", Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 5th edition Keywords: Synthesis gas, conventional methanol process, large-scale methanol




Methanol Production from Natural Gas - Cost Analysis - Methanol E13A


Book Description

This report presents a cost analysis of large-scale Methanol production from natural gas The process examined is similar to JM Catalysts LCM Process. In this process, natural gas passes through a gas heated reformer to be converted into syngas, which is then converted to Methanol. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 7087652, issued to Johnson Matthey in 2006 (2) "Methanol", Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 5th edition Keywords: JM Catalysts, Leading Concept Methanol, autothermal reformer, gas heated reformer




Methanol Production from Syngas - Cost Analysis - Methanol E21A


Book Description

This report presents a cost analysis of Methanol production starting from synthesis gas (syngas). In the process examined, the methanol synthesis is carried out in a dual reactor system, which consists in an isothermal reactor combined in series with a gas-cooled reactor. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: Methyl Alcohol, Catalytic Synthesis







Methanol Production and Use


Book Description

This work details the technical, environmental and business aspects of current methanol production processes and presents recent developments concerning the use of methanol in transportation fuel and in agriculture. It is written by internationally renowned methanol experts from academia and industry.




Ethylene Production from Methanol - Cost Analysis - Ethylene E91A


Book Description

This report presents a cost analysis of polymer grade (PG) Ethylene production from methanol using a methanol-to-olefins (MTO) process. The process examined is similar to UOP/Norsk Hydro (now Ineos) MTO process. In this process, methanol is converted to light olefins. In addition to Ethylene, polymer grade propylene is also generated as co-product in the process. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Funk, G.A., et al., "A Different Game Plan", Hydrocarbon Engineering, December 2013. Keywords: PG Propylene, Fluidized-Bed Reactor, Propene, Ethene, Methyl Alcohol

Methanol Synthesis Technology


Book Description

This easy-to-read work is a comprehensive review which focuses primarily on catalytic methanol synthesis. It includes a historic summary of the development of methanol synthesis technology, as well as extensive discussions on statistical experimental design, fabrication and operation of laboratory scale systems. This unique volume also discusses various new catalysts and processes, with special attention to the thermodynamics of methanol synthesis-especially in relation to the new liquid phase process. The comprehensive and practical approach to chemical and synfuel process development makes it an excellent reference in methanol synthesis, reactor design, and scale-up. Written as a practical guide to researchers who are involved in hands-on process research, this book is also a valuable asset to practicing chemical engineers and graduate students interested in reaction engineering, thermodynamics, catalyst development and process design.
