ABSTRACT:

This report is the final report in the RP317 series. This project dealt with the development of the Liquid-Phase Methanol Reactor. The concept of this reactor involves carrying out the synthesis of methanol in an ebullated bed of catalyst in the presence of an inert liquid heat carrier.  Work was carried out on laboratory, continuous bench-scale, and a process development unit. Previous reports on this project included AF202 and AF693. (ERA citation 05:020249)
