Modeling and Simulation of Methanol Membrane Reactor In Industrial Scale

Methanol (MeOH) production is an important industrial process. The aim of this study is production of methanol in an industrial membrane reactor. Simulation is based on mass and energy balance and the 4th order Euler method is used to numerically solve the resulting equations for membrane reactors in industrial scale. The results have been shown in the report, and note that inlet flow rate must be tuned to have a maximum production for Methanol and also it is better to use cocurrent model reactor.
