Read MoreMethanol Synthesis Reaction Process Technology
The process utilizes independently developed high-efficiency water-cooled reactors, water-cooled plate reactors, and gas-cooled reactors to achieve process flow, reaction mechanisms, and thermal energy recovery coupling. This results in high methanol purity, a large amount of by-product steam, and high-quality steam.

Technical Advantages:
- Coupled design of water-cooled and air-cooled reactors results in high alcohol purity, significant byproduct steam generation, and low overall energy consumption.
- Both water-cooled and air-cooled reactors are easy to operate, with easily controllable bed temperatures.
Application Demonstration: Low-Pressure Methanol Column
Application Demonstration: Methanol Column
Technical Features:
- Low system resistance (≤0.6 MPa), high methanol purity (with operation at 5.0 MPa pressure, single tower methanol purity reaches 6–7%; at 8.0 MPa pressure, single tower methanol purity reaches 9–12%);
- Simple operation, easy control of bed temperature; the water-cooled reactor achieves natural circulation of boiler water without the need for a circulation pump, resulting in economic operation and a large amount of by-product steam (1.1–1.3 tons of steam per ton of methanol);
- High catalyst loading coefficient in the water-cooled reactor (70–75%), resulting in relatively lower investment costs;
- High production capacity per tower, with a maximum output of up to 900,000 tons of methanol per year.
