Process And Plant For Methanol Production
Patent No. EP4288383 (titled "Process And Plant For Methanol Production") was filed by Casale on Jan 26, 2022. The application was issued on Sep 11, 2024.
Patent Summary
A process for methanol synthesis that enables efficient operation with sub-stoichiometric syngas and high methane content. The process involves dual hydrogen recovery: a first stream is obtained through water-gas shift and hydrogen purification of a partially cooled make-up gas, while a second stream is recovered from the methanol synthesis loop purge gas. This dual recovery enables flexible control of hydrogen content in the main make-up gas stream, allowing for efficient methanol synthesis even with sub-stoichiometric syngas and high methane content.
