METHANOL TO GASOLINE (MTG)
Configuration
• The MTG plant in New Zealand comprises two large
steam reformers and methanol synthesis units, each with
a capacity of 2,500 t/d of methanol.
• Because the intention was to convert the methanol into
gasoline, the crude methanol produced was not purified
to chemical grade methanol, which would have been
suitable for export.
• The crude methanol is then converted to DME, which
helps energy management in the downstream reactors,
and then into gasoline and LPG in fixed-bed converters.
• LPG is used to fuel the steam reformers.
• The operation of the MTG converters is then optimized to
maximize the quantity of the gasoline produced.
• However, it also tended to increase the amount of durene
(1,2,4,5-tetramethyl benzene) to about 4% or 5% in the
product.
• The crude gasoline from the MTG converters was
fractionated. This hydrotreated product was added to the
light gasoline to produce a gasoline for immediate use.
