Study Notes
Methanol Production Process
- Methanol is produced by reacting carbon monoxide with hydrogen.
Reactor Outlet Stream
- The outlet stream of the reactor flows at a rate of 300 mol/min.
- The stream composition is:
- 10% by weight of H2
- 62.0% by weight of CO
- 28% by weight of CH3OH
Recycle Stream
- The fraction of methanol in the recycle stream is 0.006.
Process Characteristics
- CO and H2 are not consumed in the process.
- CH3OH is not consumed in the process.
- A portion of the methanol leaving the reactor condenses and is recycled back to the reactor.
