PROCESS LICENSING

Let your methanol plant profit from serving ammonia on the side

It features a streamlined layout with no shift or CO₂ removal unit to minimize investment costs while still enabling co-production of ammonia and methanol. The methanol synthesis process is once-through at high pressure. The ammonia capacity depends on your feedstock composition, and minor capacity adjustments can be made by adding a CO₂ PSA unit for CO₂ removal.

Our IMAP Methanol+™ process design is intended for use where methanol is the main product, ammonia is the co-product, and no need to produce urea is expected. Ammonia production capacity ranges from 25 to 35 percent.

Benefits

• Self-sufficient in steam and power
• Low specific energy consumption (SEC)
• No need to invest in Air Separation Unit or CO₂ removal unit
• Less maintenance thanks to fewer rotating parts
• No CO₂ removal means savings on chemicals
• No HTS or LTS CO conversion means savings on catalyst
• Higher on-stream factor
