The application of methanol synthesis catalyst in Southwest Institute was successful

On December 26, the load of the 1.
8 million tons/year coal-to-methanol plant of Guoneng Xinjiang Chemical Co.
, Ltd.
was increased to 108%, and various process indicators met the process requirements
.
The device adopts XNC-98-5 methanol synthesis catalyst
independently developed by Southwest Chemical Research and Design Institute Co.
, Ltd.
Under the same load, the single-pass conversion rate is better than that of foreign catalysts, marking a breakthrough
in the localization of synthesis catalysts for large-scale coal-to-methanol plants.

China's methanol synthesis process package and catalyst have long relied on imports
.
To this end, Southwest Institute closely follows the development of methanol synthesis technology and catalyst technology in the world, and continues to develop methanol synthesis process and catalyst.

The successful use of XNC-98-5 methanol synthesis catalyst in the methanol plant of Southwest Institute broke the monopoly of foreign companies and took a key step
in the journey of localization.
