design has also been licensed for the construction <strong>of</strong> worldscale<br />

grass-root plants.<br />

As it has progressively gained experience, Methanol Casale<br />

has also become a leader in revamping complete methanol<br />

plants and in designing and constructing new ones.<br />

Key achievements in plant upgrading include capacity<br />

increase, reduced specific consumption <strong>of</strong> synthesis gas, and<br />

improvement in the quality <strong>of</strong> the raw methanol. Methanol<br />

Casale has also recently designed grass-roots plants, including<br />

the world’s largest plant<br />

with a capacity <strong>of</strong> 7,000 MTD. Most are already in operation.<br />

These plants incorporate the most advanced designs<br />

developed by Methanol Casale, such as the IMC (Isothermal<br />

Methanol Converter). This is the ultimate step in terms <strong>of</strong><br />

converter efficiency, enabling very efficient revamping and<br />

making it possible to design a 7,000 MTD converter in a single<br />

vessel.Among Methanol Casale’s latest developments is the<br />

co-production <strong>of</strong> ammonia and methanol.<br />

Once again, in accordance with the Group philosophy, the main<br />

strength <strong>of</strong> Methanol Casale lies in the continuous development<br />

and licensing <strong>of</strong> its technologies, which are developed in-house<br />

by a very specialized and experienced team.<br />
