Penentuan Konversi CO yang Menjadi Metanol pada Metanol Reaktor di PT Kaltim Metanol Industri Bontang

Abstract

Has been done a research on the determination of the CO conversion to methanol in the methanol reactor at PT. Kaltim Methanol Industry. Which in this research used the data flow rate and gas composition obtained from the control room. Of calculation conducted the obtained results CO conversion on 25 february 2013 is 74,93%. It also obtained the results of calculation data that has been done previously is 61,21% on 12 november 2012; 68,53% on 13 april 2012; 66,89% on 14 may 2012; 70,49% on 13 february 2012; 65,40% on 14 november 2011; 71,13% on 8 august 2011. From the above data in can be seen that the CO conversion is affected by the activation and CO conversion to methanol which greater.
