Methanol (CH3OH) is produced by reacting carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2). A fresh feed stream containing CO and H2 joins a recycle stream and the combined stream is fed into a reactor. The reactor outlet stream flows at a rate of 350 mol/min and contains 10.6 wt% H2, 64.0 wt% CO, and 25.4 wt% CH3OH. The stream enters a cooler in which most of the methanol is condense. The liquid methanol is withdrawn as a product, and the gas...
