Abstract

PURPOSE: To obtain a methanol production apparatus having high energy efficiency and advantageous for scaling-up.

CONSTITUTION: Methanol is produced from a hydrocarbon by using a fluidized layer catalytic reactor 19 containing heat-transfer tubes 20 as the methanol synthesis reactor, recovering the high-pressure steam obtained from the reactor and using the steam as a power for compressors 32,51 of the methanol production apparatus or as a power for a gas turbine or an oxygen separator.
