OBJECTIVES OF PROJECT

 To conduct a literature survey, this includes all the process routes, properties,

uses and market cost.

 To identify the best process route for the plant design project.

 To develop the best process flow sheet for the selected chemical process

 To develop and calculate the energy balance and complete material.

Conduct a literature review

Generate process flow sheet (PFD)

Calculate Material and Energy Balances (MEB)

Estimate pre-design cost (Economic potential)

Simulate

Preliminary heat integration

Preliminary Hazard Analysis

CHAPTER 1

 Introduction

 Theoretical Background

 Theoretical Background: Methanol Synthesis via syngas vs CO2 hydrogenation

 State of the art

 Bio-Syngas Production

 Methanol Synthesis

Source of feedstock is NATURAL GAS instead of coal as its the dirtiest fossil fuel

and a thermal gas plant for CO2
