ABSTRACT:
In a process for manufacturing fatty alcohols comprising hydrogenating the corresponding fatty acid methyl esters, the hydrogen used for the hydrogenation reaction is regenerated from impure methanol as a by-product of the reaction. The impure methanol recovered from the hydrogenation reactor is conducted to a steam reformer reactor, from whence the regenerated hydrogen is recycled back to the hydrogenation reactor.
