Methanol to olefins: Propylene and Ethylene¤

Introduction¤

The Methanol to olefins process is a chemical reaction to produce propylene and ethylene. The methanol stream is mixed with a catalyst in a fluidized bed reactor. Then, the product is upgraded by removing the water content. Finally, ethylene and propylene are separated thanks to a fractionation process.

ES Model Parameters¤

All the parameters concerning the Methanol to Olefins are listed in the table below.
