Ch3Oh Unreacted Syngas, CH4, CO2: Syngas Reactor Flash Drum Methanol Reactor Distillation Column

The document describes a process for producing methanol. Syngas consisting of CH4 and CO2 is produced in a reactor at high temperature and pressure. This syngas then reacts over catalysts in two stages to produce methanol and water. The methanol is separated using distillation and flash drums.
