Commercially, methanol is synthesized from natural gas through the syngas route. It contains two processes, i.e., (i) the steam reforming of methane and (ii) methanol production. The former is the most expensive step in the production process chain since it proceeds at very high temperatures (1173 K) and pressure (16–30 bar) [39]. This ...

The methanol process produces and consumes a lot of steam. In addition, a very large amount, approximately 300,000 metric tons per day, of seawater is pumped and, (by heat exchange), is used for cooling the methanol production plant. Note: Plant cooling is also done by electrically driven fan assisted air coolers.
Methanol is an important feedstock of chemical engineering and energy source, and it is mainly produced by coal route in China. The coal-to-methanol suffers from serious CO 2 emissions and carbon resource waste since water gas shift is involved in this process to increase hydrogen content of syngas for meeting methanol synthesis. A …
