ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a process for increasing the capacity of a gas phase synthesis loop for the production of methanol from a syngas feed. The syngas feed is initially passed to a liquid phase methanol reactor to convert a portion of the syngas to methanol or methanol and higher aliphatic alcohols. The mixture is subsequently cooled to condense and recover the methanol and/or higher alcohols. The unreacted syngas is passed to a gas phase synthesis loop for further conversion and recovery of methanol.
