ICI Low Pressure Methanol
ICI Low Pressure Methanol :
A process for making methanol from methane and steam. The methanol is first converted to syngas by steam reforming at a relatively low pressure. The syngas is then converted to methanol over a copper-based catalyst: CO + 2H2 = CH3OH CO2 + 3H2 = CH3OH + H2O CO + H2O = CO2 + H2O. Conversion per pass is limited by reaction equilibrium; after cooling to condense the product methanol, the unreacted gas is recycled to the reactor. (Check source for accuracy of chemical formula)
