Methanol Production Costs - Q1 2022
Methanol Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Methanol (a.k.a. Methyl Alcohol, Wood Alcohol) is a colorless liquid at ambient temperatures with a mild, characteristic alcohol odor and is one of the most important chemical raw materials. Methanol was originally called wood alcohol because it was first obtained from the destructive distillation of wood. Currently, more than 95% of commercial methanol is synthetically produced from synthesis gas, or syngas, which is a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Methanol production costs. Each study describes an industrial plant, including main process units and site infrastructure, and presents an independent analysis of capital and operating costs. All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q1 2022).
Methanol Production from Natural Gas (Steam Reforming)
This study presents the economics of large-scale Methanol production from natural gas in the United States. In the process examined, natural gas is first converted into synthesis gas (syngas) by means of conventional steam reforming and then the syngas is converted into Methanol.
Details: 1,000 kta United States-based plant | Q1 2022 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Methanol E11A target a 1,000 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Methanol Production from Natural Gas (Combined Reforming)
This study presents the economics of large-scale Methanol production from natural gas in the United States. In this process, natural gas is first converted into synthesis gas (syngas) by means of conventional steam reforming and secondary autothermal reforming. Then, the syngas is converted into Methanol.
Details: 1,700 kta United States-based plant | Q1 2022 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Methanol E12A target a 1,700 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Methanol Production from Natural Gas (Advanced GHR + ATR)
This study presents the economics of large-scale Methanol production from natural gas in the United States. In the process examined, natural gas is first converted into synthesis gas (syngas) by means of gas heated reforming (GHR) and secondary autothermal reforming (ATR). Then, the generated syngas is converted to Methanol following concepts similar to JM Catalysts LCM Process.
Details: 1,700 kta United States-based plant | Q1 2022 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Methanol E13A target a 1,700 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Methanol Production from Syngas
This report presents a techno-economic study of Methanol production from synthesis gas (syngas) in the United States. In this process, MMethanol is synthesized from syngas in a dual reactor system, which consists in an isothermal reactor combined in series with a gas-cooled reactor.
Details: 1,600 kta United States-based plant | Q1 2022 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Methanol E21A target a 1,600 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Methanol Production from Naphtha
This report presents an economic analysis of Methanol production from naphtha in the United States. In this process, naphtha undergoes partial oxidation producing syngas, which is then converted to Methanol.
Details: 1,700 kta United States-based plant | Q1 2022 | 106 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Methanol E31A target a 1,700 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Methanol Production from Refuse-Derived Fuels
This report provides the economics of Methanol from refuse-derived fuels (RdF) for a waste-to-methanol (WtM) process in the United States. In this process, RdF is first gasified to syngas, which is then converted to Methanol.
Details: 350 kta United States-based plant | Q1 2022 | 106 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Methanol E41A target a 350 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Methanol Production from Coal
This feasibility study approaches the economics of Methanol production in China via coal gasification. In this process, coal is initially gasified to produce syngas. This syngas is then converted to Methanol in a dual reactor system comprising an isothermal reactor in series with a gas-cooled reactor.
Details: 1,500 kta China-based plant | Q1 2022 | 107 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Methanol E51C target a 1,500 kta (kilometric tons per annum) China-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
