AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Current methanol production systems result in high CO2 emissions and inefficient use of off-gas streams, which goes against the industry's focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing energy efficiency.
Method used
Introduce a shift section and CO2 removal section into the methanol production system, and reintroduce flash gas and off-gas streams as additional carbon comprising feeds to the reformer and/or shift sections, capturing and recycling CO2 while optimizing the use of hydrogen-rich gases.
Benefits of technology
Significantly reduces CO2 emissions by over 97% and enhances energy efficiency by recycling carbon-containing compounds within the system, reducing the need for external hydrocarbon feedstock.
