Abstract
Various options for designing the direct oxidation of natural gas to methanol are considered: flow-through, with a distributed supply of the oxidizer along the length of the reactor, and circulation. For each of the considered options for designing the process, the methanol yield was calculated, as well as the parameters at which the resulting blow-off gas can be used as a fuel. The optimal recycling rate in the circulation process has been determined.
