    Methanol To Propylene

    Uploaded by

    Amin Soleimani Mehr
    This document summarizes the Lurgi MTP process for producing propylene from methanol. The key points are: - The process uses a proprietary zeolite catalyst in fixed bed reactors to maximize on-purpose production of polymer-grade propylene from methanol with simple operation. - It has low capital costs, high reliability, and long catalyst cycle times due to in-situ regeneration of the catalyst under mild operating conditions. - The process can also co-produce ethylene for high-value co-polymers and is not dependent on crude oil-based feedstocks.
