Methanol converter preheater Alfa Laval Packinox for methanol synthesis In the methanol synthesis section of a methanol plant, an Alfa Laval Packinox feed/effluent heat exchanger is placed before the reactor to raise the temperature of feed gas by heat exchange with reactor effluent. For this application, Alfa Laval Packinox Methanol Converter Preheaters offer against S&Ts the advantage of capital savings on installation, transport, foundation and piping, in addition to lower operating costs. Furthermore, the space between the plates of Alfa Laval Packinox exchangers is generally about 5 mm, allowing problem-free passage of catalyst fines. Depending on the case, Alfa Laval Packinox Methanol Converter Preheaters also make it possible to cut costs associated with other equipment, which can be made redundant by Alfa Laval Packinox’s superior thermal efficiency.
