In recent years, with the increasing depletion of oil resources, the MTO technology that uses coal or natural gas as raw materials to produce ethylene and propylene via methanol or dimethyl ether has received widespread attention. For coal-to-olefins companies, due to the influence of the external environment and changes in the olefin market, the price of raw material coal has risen, and the prices of polyethylene and polypropylene have changed significantly. It is very important to improve the company's own risk resistance by reducing costs and increasing efficiency. By studying the factors affecting the yield of DMTO units, increasing the output of dienes (ethylene + propylene), and improving the economic benefits of the company.
