Methanol Production Sample Clauses

Methanol Production. The reformed syngas enters the catalytic synthesis reactors where a fraction of the CO and H2 are converted into methanol. The methanol is then condensed and separated from the unconverted residual gas. The general reaction in the production of methanol is described below: [ * ] [ * ]

Methanol Production. Another potential future use for blue hydrogen in the Rotterdam area is for the production of methanol. The Port of Rotterdam have recently joined a research consortium to investigate the use of a new technology by Enerkem (a Canadian clean technology company) to manufacture syngas from domestic waste and use it as a feedstock for making products such as methanol (Port of Rotterdam, 2015). The consortium, led by AkzoNobel, are going to build a factory in Rotterdam that converts plastic and organic waste into methanol. The plant must produce 220 kt of methanol annually from an estimated 360 kt of waste. The methanol will produced using the Enerkem technology using hydrogen provided by AkzoNobel and Air Liquide (AkzoNobel, 2018). Should this project be successful, and eventually reach commercial scale, blue hydrogen could be utilized.
