ABSTRACT:
This invention is directed to a process of making a methanol product using a slurry bubble reactor. The reactor is operated in the liquid phase, with catalyst particles being suspended in the liquid. The invention provides for efficient use of heat and recovery of product by feeding cool syngas into the reactor, while maintaining a high degree of backmixing within the reactor. Complex cooling equipment is not required in the reaction process.
