In this article, we took the equipment which with an annual methanol production capacity of 100 thousand tons as an example. This equipmeut uses natural gas as mhleral and takes the methods of steam reforming to makhlg methanol synthetic gas under 3.0MPa conditiou, low pressure process to synthetic methanol under 5.0MPa condition, and 3 towers rectification path to manufacture high grade methanol meeting the requirement of GB338-2004. Through the example, we analyzed the risks of the whole process, and proposed the countermeasures in view of those risks.
